Hello everyone,

I welcome and I willingly take part in theycallmedan@theycallmedan's very first initiative on HIVE: "What Does Hive Mean To Me? Initiative".

As we all know, He often organizes these initiatives to keep the community alive, to create awareness in its participants and drawing the attention of who does not know this environment.
Actually, I've never seen so much enthusiasm in community members; I think it's safe to say that everyone is excited about the launch of HIVE and of how things are going in first stage of development.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Twitter account, but it does not matter. I am not writing this post in order to receive upvotes but just to feel part of HIVE community!


What is HIVE to you?

HIVE represents to me what STEEM never was: my virtual home!

I say this because it is so hard to feel at home when you know that there is someone who owns all the property of that house and can throw you out whenever he wants!

Wait, what was that? That's exactly what's happening right now in STEEM!
SUN is the lord of the manor now and we were his guests.. ready to pack if he wanted it.

HIVE doesn't really belong to anyone if not to the community, though.
It is normal to feel at home when you know that a bit of it rightfully belongs to you!

DECENTRALIZATION in a nutshell.


What do you want to see HIVE evolve into?

The question is quite interesting but it's a not simple enough question, because this is a new field with a lot of variables of which it is difficult to imagine the future development.

Maybe we're pioneers and what will happen in the future we'll figure it out together.

If I'm being totally honest, I want HIVE to be a space for confrontation and creativity; to play the social role of maturing and housing human and civil growth through permanent educational and informative means.
Where you can feel free to express oneself without fear of censorship.

I would like, among other things, HIVE to become the alternative to Facebook without the restrictions and abuse of power that users unknowingly undergoes.

And so, lastly, I'd like SMTs were finally released on HIVE blockchain, one of the most important promises made by Ned but never actually happened.


What do you think about having a large funded DAO for future HIVE development?

As I previously wrote in one of my previous post

1 - DEVELOPMENT OF HIVE ECOSYSTEM.

A Blockchain focused on "Social Network" aspect has no value without people who use it and without Dapps who can attract them.

Development could play an important role than the competition in this case.

The availability of funds is key in this context because it can attract the developers. I believe this is a classic Win-Win situation:

More Funds ---> More Development ---> More Opportunities ---> THRIVING "ECOSYSTEM" around HIVE Blockchain!

So, to go back to the original question, I would be so totally into that.

A large funded DAO for future HIVE development may represent the most effective solution to grow HIVE exponentially!

Even more so, without the presence of Steemit Inc (which was ultimately supposed to lead the development of STEEM.. even though everyone knows that Steemit Inc failed at that job.) HIVE must be able to self-finance its own future development, so it is crucial to keep a large funded DAO.
The only care is to "manage" DAO well and the way in which devs can access it to avoid abuse and fraud (we know "human nature"/"human greed" well).


What does HIVE mean to you?

The main point can be summed up by just one word: opportunity!

Let me be honest: STEEM was becoming like a total flake and the interest I started with had been slowly declining.
Two and a half years into STEEM without ever seeing any change or development!
The only development I've ever seen, came from independent developers and not by the Steemit team.

Day after day, HIVE is giving that lost sense of trust back to me... so much so that I feel able to broaden the horizons beyond the end of my own nose.

I don't know what HIVE will become in the near future, but I like the idea of it changing and evolving into something even better.


However, one thing I know for sure is that I really want to find out and become a part of it!
