Hive Needs Development and New Mindset
Hive has been my number one platform for all things crypto for about 6 years now. I continue to build, promote, offer feedback and support projects I believe in that help the hive ecosystem. There's two huge issues however with the adoption of Hive left. One was for the most part recently taken care of which was onboarding new users. No longer are there complicated systems instead many front ends like Splinterlands, Encency and LeoFinance are offering up easy onboarding for new users which has done wonders already for adoption of hive. We've seen a dramatic shift in new people using the platform since these changes where made.
What Are The Next Steps?
Development and shifting the mind focus of how hive is used and payouts. In fact perhaps this shift wont be with hive directly but instead some type of layer2 content token. So far the only layer two solutions I know of are Hive-Engine and DLUX. Hive might not have an official layer two token and insides might be off shoot platforms such as this. The main issue with that however is each of these off shoots are centralized big time so at some point I'd like to see some type of official hive layer 2 token.
Development
At the core of it all Hive needs serious development. The only places where I've started to see action on this primarily would be DLUX,3SPK,Speaknetwork and LeoFinance who are offering up solutions to provide more liquidity to hive for trading. Thus removing centralized exchanges which are huge bottlenecks right now. I'd love to see Hive have some type of decentralized exchange but maybe that's a place LeoFinance or another developer could step in and start building. Outside of that continued game development needs to take place but better solutions for NFTs of these games. If anyone is able to mimic something on the likes of AtomicHub but for Hive that could be one very powerful platform with a 1% or 2% fee to fuel and fund it all.
Imagine what it would be like if Hive had it's own exchange outside of just Hive and HBD. That connected to other blockchains and allowed for easy onboarding and exiting with a small fee collection on it. That fee collection provides value and fuels development of future projects.
Mindset
One of the biggest issues I've had with onboarding content creators with large followings which I feel would steamroll onboarding of hive is the only getting paid 7 days after a post is made. This includes many other post types now such as LeoThreads, SoMee 3Speak etc.
The big killers for me are 3Speak video platform where all content creators are used to creating a video and it paying them revenue for years to come based on ads and traffic to the video. To get people excited and building content on these platforms I firmly feel a new mindset has to be brought forward to hive or the layer two tokens that offer up passive income based on traffic and ad usage on these platforms. In particular what makes Youtube so popular is the ability to create videos and earn passive income off of those videos for months and years later.
For myself I feel this is going to be up to layer 2 tokens to find solutions to this depending on the platform they have. For example I think 3speak is the core example of where ad revenue should be paid to those content creators over 7 days. Hive itself however will become more and more valuable as a resource credit for projects as well as users.
What are you thoughts on paying out past 7 days?
