"There is no greatness where there is no simplicity..." - Tolstoy
Something I have screamed about for years in the crypto space is....We need to keep things simple!
This isn't the most user friendly environment around and if we want mass adoption, simplicity on a user side of things needs to be priority #1!
Let me take a step back....
I'm currently reading this book:
I'm about 50 pages into it so far, but the general idea behind it is...Long form posts, 2 hour podcasts, 1500 word emails, or having to 'learn' Metamask...Just doesn't translate into mass adoption.
In today's day and age, people want things....Super quick, in bite sized chunks and do not want to require a PHd in computer science to learn how to use an app. Made me think about Hive....
We celebrate the 1000 word posts, and ignore most short form content. This translates into less adoption on a larger scale.
We do have the EASIEST blockchain to learn, and while we can be better....We're still light years ahead of other chains.
It's almost like....
The solution to a lot of our problems not only on Hive but crypto in general when it comes to Web 3 is right there in front of us.
Short form content (apps like 
And keep working on making it a crazy simple as possible to get people to USE these applications. Easier onboarding is always a good thing but I can speak from experience....
Using Hive Keychain compared to that God awful MetaMask, is brilliant! Usernames instead of strings of wallet addresses is putting a more human touch on crypto. Again, this space isn't the easiest for people to learn so if we put more emphasis on the human elements here, we have a winning formula.
Anywho....
Just some thoughts on a Monday night! By no means is this gospel, but I can't help but think...We are SO close! Mass adoption by keeping things simple and to the point will help us in the future.
We have the best apps. We have the best community. Now we just need those green candles and that comes from more users!
