I am mostly of the opinion that we are early with HIVE. Crypto just moves really fast so that is a weird part of HIVE because to me HIVE is an longterm project.

HIVE is not a normal crypto because ALL stakeholders (from small to big) basically function as activist investors. When you have HP, you have influence over the chain. People who do work on HIVE tend to be more receptive to feedback based on your stake weight. You cannot brute force change the chain, but you can have influence; I find this concept very interesting.

One thing I hear a lot is, people only follow me more or listen to me more now because of my stake weight. Well duh! 🤣 It’s a STAKE WEIGHTED chain for crying out loud.

I think too many people treat HIVE like it’s just another alt coin that you can rotate in and out of. That’s really not how it works. If you look at the white paper for HIVE, it is clear HIVE is positioned as a longterm project.

On HIVE we have many different interest groups with different agendas. People are naturally disjointed. HIVE is global so the “HIVE Community” will never be monolithic. We will always disagreements and have a hard time finding consensus. I think that’s ok but it can be frustrating.

In terms of ZING, I think longterm you will be happy you approached your project the way you did.

It’s easy to get depressed when markets are down and it’s easy to get euphoric when markets are up. I try to avoid both these thought processes while staying focused on the big idea of why I made the investment I did in the first place.
