I know there was a lot of argument in the past over the rewards pool, but I think that's the last thing anyone should be worried about in terms of Hive's overall success. If it's going to raise in value, what matters is how functional Hive itself is. What can I actually turn around and use Hive for as a Cryptocurrency?

The thing we all do here is probably the least relevant thing about it.

That's where I find myself in an odd spot, because I don't really know much about how Crypto actually operates beyond what little I learned for the purposes of this. Oddly enough though, if you are interesting in growing as a writer this is a terrible place to do it as of now, since it requires so much to know to sign up and use it (Imagine someone just signing up not interesting in earning, and suddenly can't keep commenting because of RC limits at low HP).

Of course the shear decentralized nature of everything oddly makes this one of the best sites to blog with on paper.

It really is an odd situation we are in.

That said, I'm following suite to a degree and powering down a bit more, I have an idea of when I'll sell off my available Hive, but we'll see where that goes.
