Splinterlands has 500k active players daily. Getting all of them on Hive wasn't difficult at all I would say.

That is true and I think there are a lot of lessons there, the main one being I think most users don't know they are on Hive (nor should they need to be).

Leo allowing people to sign up using Web2 accounts is the best idea I have seen recently. It's kind of like giving a hand holding service, making it easy and comfortable.

I'm bullish on this stuff, especially whatever Hive evolves into, I just think we will need some years to get there :)

Back in the 1990s I learned things like tcp/ip, nothing that really comes up in conversation anymore, and I think all the layers and layers on top of crypto will reveal the true nature of what we are building!
