It's mad how quiet we are. As well as Splinterlands and Leo we may have a potential beast of a game from the Splinterlands crew in Genesis League Goals coming our way soon on Hive and there is bearly even a whisper on the socials or Hive for that matter. I think the Hive going to "A thousand dollars" ship has well sailed. Hive will only survive if the main Dapps gain traction. 2 have in Leo and Splinterlands but that's about it. We need more. I would be much happier if Hive used the DHF to fund further DAPP development such as giving LEO a dig out and also Splinterland than paying 10,000 HBD for a conference in Venezuela. Correct me if I am wrong but do these dapps receive any funding from the Hive pool?
At least we might see some bang for our buck with improved Dapps. Or better still hire a reputable marketing company to do our marketing for us instead of giving Mary from Somalia 10K to go off and buy a couple of t-shirts and caps for her friends and pose for a few photos in front of a table with some Hive pens while pocketing the rest. If I was the owners of platforms that are keeping Hive alive such as Leo and Splinterlands, I would not be a happy camper with how the funds are currently being allocated to questionable schemes. There are funds there to market Hive properly but the curse of decentralisation is that it will never be allocated correctly. So we are where we are. We attracted cryptofinally here once who has 200k followers on twitter but she got run out of here with pitchforks. We don't half make it hard for ourselves.
