great work as ever steev
i think hive is doing very nicely considering the crypto slump. Community is still active, boreholes are being funded, hivefest is happening, its still making a difference in peoples lives. numbers go down when the hype isnt there but thats ok, hive kicks along at a reasonable enough pace. I think it will remain here to lift people up when they are trying to climb, or to catch us when we're falling. It makes me think of a bar on a space station in between galaxies where people stop off to socialise or gamble a little money, or grab the latest galactic news thread, or join a convention of brilliant minds, or stop to vent and mouth off about the system, get drunk and have a very public, immutable slagging match, build a new space shack on the side of the station and invite people in for a few rounds of low-g mini golf before the roof caves in and the oxygen drains away. I love it. Its always colourful and peculiar and filled with shattered dreams and newly formed horizons and places to get your imagination stuck in to. I dont feel i need anything more from it than this fascinating narrative feast
