Hive is dreaming because the platform just lacks the sophistication @taskmaster4450 to understand what it would need to even get a bid from elon musk in that manner article writer. First off you have to understand the very basic concept of under metcalfe's law you're never going to build a system that can grow relational in value to that degree without the users.

Now how are you going to come across these users without a product to attract them. Now the early days of steem that morphed into hive.. What you have to understand is that first round level of marketing that got the base of these systems going got them based on people earning as much as $40,000 a post, lol.

That's good marketing that would attract anybody in the world. That's really good marketing because it's alot of free money for nothing. There lies the root word of what attracts people free.. "freemium" services. Why do so many use twitter? it's useful and it's free. The level of use and capability and reach i get from twitter as the same as everyones else.

Now think about who pays for twitter? The shareholders paid.. the early founders and creators. .The venture capitalist who were willing to take risk.. now the people who purchase hive power.. are the same as those early round investors.. the problem is they lack the resources the same as established firms that can invest $150 million to $5 billion. These heavily funded brands had that advantage.

So how does a product like hive attract that without those resources? Marketing gimmicks like $40k a post.. marketing with freemium services the same as try netflix for free. The issue though is if i try netflix for free @taskmaster4450 i get a netflix trial and my experience is the same as everyone elses. Now these are very basic concepts and ideas. Nothing complicated about it.. Now one way is to grow hive organically through a process of evolution where these ecosystems merge together.. the problem i think though is funding systems and dao's are plentiful in crypto but in reality i'd say that the dao's with the more resources has the better chance of finding that needle in the haystack and taking platforms and coin prices to the next level.

i get that some of you are just fine with your monthly dependable interest rates and earnings but you can't think on the micro level. you have to think on the macro level.. Your security of earnings is not sufficient incentive for others to join hive. It's too many other opportunities in crypto. I just don't think its ever going to be enough as people if they take the amount of risk they take on the hive system they expect great returns.. their money funding this operation doesn't guarantee any big returns but it does seemingly create great potential for significant risk as many cryptos do.

Bitcoin MyK has over 18,000 registered accounts.. Now wallets for transmission and payment gateways in my opinion is more important than 4-5 million active users.. So in a financial setting it would be of more value for bitcoin myk to have 100 million wallets than for hive to have 5 million wallets under a freemium service.. YOu can't fulfill metcalfe's law under a system of businesses like hive creates..

That's just some of it the bottomline is that elon would'nt offer hive any money because he'd not only see the number of users as insignificant .. he'd see the potential future of the user base unavailable and unachievable at a rate of risk for him far beyond success.

Bitcoin MYK is in a unique position where if the hive core chain dwindles through cost and maintenance as being part of the second layer bitcoin myk piggy backs making it less risky. At some point it would maybe have to just go into it's own chain which it already has but i think that would be necessary to scale 100 million plus people. AGain the idea is in the payment gateways and wallets not people writing posts and playing games. At tops you may could get 50 million or 100 million which i don't think you will get.. A freemium service could be over a billion payment gateways.. with little to no marketing bitcoin myk has reached over 18,000 wallets and that number goes up everyday. So this is the part you all don't understand as to why nobody is doing business with you guys. why no big crypto people are buying you.. why they aren't buying you at the very least to control your price and keep you from going into their market share or taking their opportunities.. so they see you as no threat or of little significance. I been trying to bring you all that message for a long time.. i can help but it can only be done through second layer .. something has to absorb the tremendous risk of the free transaction bandwidth system.. No product can handle this on it's own unless it's a twitter situation with big vc's backing it.. grassroots is far from sophisticated for that and any evolutionary development of hive if it can last 50 years.. you may be talking 50 years because i think the problem is in proof of brain itself

i know you all don't wanna accept the truth.. some of you are prideful with ego or think you're in control but you don't know what you're doing.. So what i think is and this wasn't directed towards you @chekohler i know you get it

to the article writer though when hive listens and grows and learns and has this sophistication of understanding.. then many of the dreams you all have may began to unfold.. However an experienced person like me it's likely going to have to be this approach now.. The people you all follow and believe have the answers like themarkymark those kinda guys...it's time to ask them the tough questions on their weekly ask questions as they aren't providing opportunities for anyone but themselves.. These opportunities that exist for them aren't significant enough for everyone else. i can fix it i can change it.. all i need is the hive ecosystem to follow my lead for about 3 months.. and we'd be a model for crypto. unfortunately if you all don't i fear you all will dream for the next century
