These posts are way more valuable than a blog. They capture a real purchase from a real person to a real business at an exact time with an amount, with evidence of what was purchased, using a value transfer with a non KYC, non banking asset backed stable coin with no fees. That moment is incredibly valuable and is where I would like to personally send as much crypto as possible. Please see more details here: https://hive.blog/hive-106130/@thedistriator/bjzefupi

I was reading some comments, and most of them say that this project isn’t directly intended for people who are interested in Hive as a blogging platform, but rather to show people that instead of using fiat currency, they also have the option to make purchases with some discount through HBD. And of course, this brings greater adoption to Hive, perfect up to that point.
I’m not going to dive deep into whether this is good or bad for Hive; I’ll just speak from the perspective of a curator who looks after the content on Hive.
And I ask: if it’s not intended for people to use it as a blog, then what’s the purpose of making a purchase every day through this project?
At first glance, as a curator, I’d say this person wants to take advantage of the system.
Buying every day = posting every day = getting a vote every day.
The project might be great, but I think it lacks a bit of control. That’s all from my side.
I wish the best for this and all projects that are genuinely created with the intention of fostering real growth and adoption of Hive without any kind of abuse.
This is one of the most valuable things possible on Hive! Most bloggers just sell their Hive, at least these people are buying HBD, spending it, blogging to get cash back. All of that is incredibly valuable for Hive and HBD
Should I assume that all users buy Hive>HBD to then make their purchases? Something tells me that those who already generate hbd with their content on their blog, use this tool to buy, so.... Wouldn't the real purpose of the project and the adoption mechanism be lost there?
Sorry, it's great the project, if Hive wasn't right now and since it was born, a blog community, most of everything that has been built to Hive ends up creating a post. And as a curator, I would be worried to see a lot of low effort post because that affects something that is Hive, a blog as well, if in the future it stops being the main movement, it would be perfect this project, in an ecosystem where there is no blog, curators, curation projects, etc. But it exists...
The vast majority dont make any curation or author rewards and so they need to buy their HBD before they purhcase. As a result, these are not low effort posts. They are incredibly valuable moments, where a real business, person, spend, product and location are all recorded on chain with a specific time stamp. Far more valuable for Hive than the vast majority of blogs here which bring no views and no traffic to hive, but just constantly extract value. These people are buying HBD, say 10 dollars worth, then spending it, then getting 1 - 3 USD cash back from the rewards pool. Thats a net buying pressure on hive and HBD. Far more powerful than a blogger that just gets votes and sells their stake.
Also, IMO Hive has not been a blogging platform for years now. probably for the majority of the time it has been around at this point. It is a way to rewards valuable actions. Some of those actions are blogs, but blogging on Hive has generally failed at this point
I'm almost certain that you and others know much more than I do about this, which is why you lead the best projects and hold top positions among Hive witnesses. Hypothetically, setting aside those posts with two photos and a single sentence, I could say this is one of the best projects for adoption within Hive. I've understood for some time now that Hive's growth won't come through blogging alone. But I also understand that a large part of the community loves having a blog, putting in effort, and being rewarded in some way after seven days.
With that in mind, my only concern is that some people might see these short posts as structurally repetitive and feel discouraged or simply stop creating quality content (or at least appropriate content). Even now, onboarding in Hive is still done through blogging-based marketing.
Personally, as a writer, I would love to see other writers here selling their books in HBD/Hive instead of through a publishing house that might exploit them. The same goes for artists and so many others. I believe that blogging is still one of the best marketing tools for that.
I'm just sharing my thoughts, which may or may not be correct, and as I said before, I only wish the best for all projects because to me, in some way, all have value, even a blog.
