even if you don´t know the people personally, just go for it and give it a shot. You have nothing to lose.
I can feel the emotions of promoting HIVE as a loyal hivean - I do promote most of my posts in my office workplace and it gets thousands of views. People joining here may not actually monetize their posts sooner and get disappointed but definitely, we will get some investors out of that. And when someone with a large fan base promotes hive, its highly possible that, many investors would notice it. I even think, we should to a promo on HBD interest to attract investors - it will ultimately impact HIVE price.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Onboarding is one thing but retention is another one, just as important... Those 12% APR on HBD savings definitely has the potential to attract some investors. Pretty decent DeFi option :)
And if big investments flow into HBD, then HIVE will moon.
Right :)
