RE: What's going on?

I agree with you man.
I'm on that same boat.
For instance the recent post from @blocktrades is beginning to talk about second layer and even drops a "will post about HF25" as part of his Todo list.

Yet the post itself is so damn bland. He doesn't even use an image. Now I'm not holding him to blame for that but then to most the post just looks like code links. Even if a person wants to use that post to generate hype it's almost impossible since the greater audience doesn't care about code.

Then the post from @howo with the video attached of the coders meeting is the usual black screen just voices format. Again... how could people generate hype around that??

@theycallmedan said recently JUST DO IT! but there needs to be some type of correlation from coders to street shillers. Coders just talking code kills the flow. If they provided a vision of what they see getting built, then marketers could expand on that. With a few marketing teams or individuals providing slick content then street shillers have something to expand on with their own content... and with that: Hype is a living entity.

THEN, when those things that are getting hyped come to fruition you already have that traffic, which can then be converted into users/buyers/contributors etc..

I guarantee if this was in effect already the token price would be holding $0.50 and looking to find a new floor at a dollar.

The issue with Hive isn't that things aren't happening. It's that you actually have to first be inside these walls to know what's happening. That's just so limiting to growth.

That's where bridge makers are needed. We need to 'translate' into everyday English. I'm not sure how good any one individual might be at doing that, but as a collective, working together, I think we can come up with some pretty good stuff ... that then would get signed off to the people making the slick content.

Same thing as above. Really, though, it's logical that 'insiders' have the best grasp of things. We just need to take responsibility for communicating all that to the outside world.
