I know many hive users that have never even used bitcoin before they earned Hive for the first time, not many cryptos, if any can say that.
I am definitely one. I started on the blockchain when I was still just a student, with a part time job that would never allow me the flexibility to invest in cryptocurrencies. What I earned here helped me own a few other assets and the knowledge that exists on this blockchain, wikipedia will not replace this.
In my medical school, I had friends who were quite skeptical about my fiddling with cryptocurrencies, and 3 years later, yesterday, I paid for an online study resource using HIVE, the same resource they are paying for using payments from their jobs :)
