I posted on this same topic yesterday on @proofofblind (article here). Thanks for this post and a second perspective on the issue.

I think one of the things we need to consider is cross linking functionalities between various chains (something I believe Polkadot is designed for) such as Citycoin and their Smart City platform (a bitcoin side chain with smart contract capabilities) and perhaps Hedgehog and Nexo for investment and income building.

I love your mention of Resource Credit Pools, I have been thinking along similar lines after an earlier article you wrote discussing SIP's. There are ways to make access and utilization easier for the general public and giving new members a leg up on actualizing the potentials of Hive. I also agree that Hive is uniquely suited to provide the best possible social networking / media portal to the metaverse particularly if we can cross link with other systems (why reinvent the wheel?). Another good potential 'ally' (cross link) would be the Brave browser. There is a two way promotional advantage to having a Hive extension for Brave that could link BAT crypto to the Hive Engine and vice versa.

What I believe is needed is a community dedicated to creating teams from our membership, helping them to take good ideas and turn them into working projects. This would give us a necessary organizational structure with the transparency and community input needed to preserve the core ideals of Hive.

Thanks for a great post.
Blessed be.
