They always do good at the start
Fomo hype call it what you want
Have a look at all token histories
The same pyramid shape appears
Not saying it's a pyramid but if it looks like one smells like one???
😉

Please enlighten me on how Hivelist is a pyramid scheme? As the creator of the project, I would really like to see how you come at this conclusion... I am trying to build a real use case for this digital internet money so people can actually use it in real life. The LIST token is a rewards system that you earn tokens and if you stake, you get discounts on the store. The token can be used for services and future downloadable items from the store. So again, how do you view this as a pyramid scheme? You need to be able to back up this claim.

Firstly I didn't mention any specific token and definitely not yours.
Secondly name me one token that is higher than it was a month after creation?
Thirdly trying to create a use case I'd a nobel vision and everyone has tried but has failed.
Leo shop has a few use cases but no mass adoption.
Is your token stable?
If not why would someone buy something with it as the price could be 20% more or less tommorow?
If it was a stable coin or even had a stable price it's understandable otherwise your basically gambling on purchasing a product that you have no idea what the price will be by the time the transaction goes through.
If btc ltc has had problems for that exact reason why would a token reliant on another token (hive) be workable?
Eg
I buy your token x amount(100) at 1 hive
Will I be able to sell it an hour later for 1 hive?
Even if I can will hive price be the same an hour later?
Like I said did not mention your token and genuinely hope it works as it would be nice for one to, but history suggests the whole tokenomics system is flawed.

I don’t let anyone else’s failures judge my future. The only way this will fail is because of the people who are looking in and not wanting to support but sit back and want to criticize, which does seem to be allot of people in this space, but I have faith that we can usher in some new blood that will actually want to see change for our space for more than just their investment portfolio.

Preciously the point you need support ie investment to make it grow there is no other financial mechanism that can sustain it. If people stop buying the token and all start selling game over.
You can't expect people to just back every token on hive-engine they all have a great idea. Ideas don't mean squat.
If you have a product that is superior to everything else and works people will have no choice but to use it.
Whereas if you had advertising paid promotions etc you could use that income to buy and burn your own tokens to maintain a reasonable price.
Then the problem is who would pay you to advertise and promote to a select audience.
These are the reasons tokens fail.
Inflation kills them. More get produced less get bought over time and even less get burnt to maintain a balance.
Why could you not have done the same concept and just used hbd as a sole payment method?
It's stable so atleast I know what I'm paying to some degree.

Why don’t you build your own project then if you don’t want to help support others. Good luck with that. If you don’t want to support the project, that is fine, but I don’t suggest trying to bash new projects for trying unless you are doing something better.

I did have a token produced 20% profit 3 months straight. 60% in 3 months.
Gave it up coz everyone jumped ship on to hive and I couldn't be bothered starting again.
Now a friend has started one on a similar path and I am supporting it because it makes sense.
At no point have I bashed your project.
I have asked a few questions and you have got defensive which means???
A better response would be my token does x,y,z and solves this and that problem.
Check my wallet out on steem-engine and hive-engine don't think I can be accused of not supporting projects.
My wallet stinks with useless coins.
Not saying yours is, just coming back to your supporting point.
Ps the first message was yours defending your token which I did NOT mention at all was just a general observation.

There originally wasn’t going to be a token. I just wanted to build a classifieds platform for Hive. The easiest way to do that properly was to have a condenser or nitrous site on the blockchain. For a non dec, it’s easiest to go through Hive-Engine and create a tribe, thus the token was created. People didn’t want to use the Wordpress front end so I had to do something. The token isn’t necessary to use the platform. It’s just an incentive to support and be involved as staking it gives you discounts. So all I can say is use it or not, your choice.
