RE: Hive Ecosystem | Reasons To Buy Or Sell Hive ...
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Being pretty new to the ecosystem and can't really judge what needs to be done exactly a utility perspective to make HIVE more valuable, yet, although I've read a lot of opinions on that topic.
From a rather outside point of view, though, it's pretty visible that there's simply too few users. Crypto to this date is mostly about speculation, and there's no reason for any potential investor to believe that price will go up dramatically, as there's no catalyst for doing so. Smaller changes in utility won't really make a difference. However, integration of Hive blockchain in a product with millions of users would. Is there any entity that would look at developing partnerships or whatever of this kind?
Yes, there is. OffChain Luxembourg is using Hive as an "alternative bank" and the underlying platform for two projects, Innopay (innopay.lu) and plaza.lu that should generate demand for Hive
There's simply too few users
I would say that Hive also has an issue of retaining users. As someone who has been here since 2017, I only really saw a handfull of users stick with it. The thing is that the real audience (who aren't just here with an eye to earn a quick buck) is rather niche. That said, there is still so much potential for onboarding new users. Good luck on your journey!
People don't stick with Hive because we lack a coherent uplifting narrative. If you want people to adhere to a platform like this (id est: one that does not manipulate their dopamine mechanisms in order to generate addiction), you need a uniting story. And we don't really have one, or if we do, we do not have a good storyteller to be the face of that story
From what I've seen so far I totally agree, but I'm not sure this can be solved on a blockchain level. After all, what's the difference, really, between Polygon, Sui, Sei, Solana, Aptos and all these chains. It's basically all the same, they start with something, but then have to expand into basically anything and everything because there's so few actual use cases. But a few things unite most of the (successful) blockchains: they do consistent marketing and business development for their chains to attract developers who build on them.
Yep, we are incredibly inept in that sector.
Our marketing and development is mind-blowingly inefficient.
It doesn't even focuses on the right metrics. It focuses on bringing users to BLOG instead of focusing on bringing developers that create apps that give their users REASONS to BUY HIVE.
Which entity is running this? Maybe there's potential for improvement?
