Thanks for reading and I appreciate the thoughtful comment! Believe it or not the N is for Netflix, not Nvidia. Believe it or not, Nvidia only surpassed Netflix's market cap 5 years ago (after the term

Thanks!

"Own your social media." Short, simple, not bad.

I like this. I definitely think empowerment is key. But there's something about the word "users." TradSoMe (traditional social media 😂) turns people into users. Hive is a social network for

No I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for the kind words and for expressing an interest in what I have to say! It means a lot especially since I am trying to motivate myself to write more and create more content!

I didn't mean to suggest that I know this perspective is right. I just think a lot of people would be surprised to hear some of the names who hold idealist views.

I wouldn't say information is matter. Information is the asking of a yes/no question and registering an answer. When we ask these questions about the world we observe with our senses, matter emerges. In

There is actually no proof that consciousness is an emergent property of brains. This is just a faulty assumption many have because they don't realize their worldview is fundamentally materialist. This

I published on hive, but using ecency right now. Probably use this going forward.

I don't see forks as a problem whatsoever any more than forks of Bitcoin or Ethereum are a problem for them. I started Koinos Group at the same time as Hive began, so I don't think I'm really qualified

Thanks! Hmm, I don't think I've been around long enough to opine on that. I would bet that there are a lot of people around here who know better than me and are working their asses off trying to move things

Because people don't care about those things. People are information processors (this is a central premise of Swarm Theory) so they go to where the information is. This is why network effect is a thing.

Sorry, didn't directly address the second question, but I would extend my previous response and say that I think Hive's USP is that it is a turnkey database of social information (people, posts, voting

Being a CEO for 4 years actually gave me a newfound respect for both @dan and @ned. I couldn't have done what they did. Actually building stuff is much harder than looking back and criticizing. With the

Of course it's disappointing, though tbh it's not surprising. When I originally joined Steemit I saw the "user generated content" and "social media influencer" wave coming and thought
