I shall endeavor to stay in a positive frame of mind and say I feel a glimmer of hope and optimism that something is afoot to effectuate a change in the way Hive and the DHF operates.

As the psychology field is prone to saying "The first step in solving a problem is ACKNOWLEDGING that there's a problem."

I hope this account @hiveforum will be used as much to ask questions for discussion as to provide updates. In fact, I could wish for an extension into the creation of a "Hive Forum COMMUNITY" where those with ideas who still believe in Hive as having a viable future could share their perspectives for discussion and debate, tightly moderated for relevance, of course.

Perhaps Hive's greatest asset is the community members who still care about this place's future, some after years and years... so draw on that!

Crypto — in general — faces an uphill battle in the sense that almost everybody involved avoids the elephant in the room: We treat the currency/token as the product, rather than the vehicle that drives the product or whatever it is we're doing. It creates this weird vacuum in which business plans, generating revenue and accountability get thrown out the window.

I hope we can — among many other things — figure out what Hive actually is and what it is we're trying to DO here.

I'll stop now, before this becomes a dissertation.
