Crypto always was kind of dead to me. Not something I'm interested in but of course I follow current events and yeah, what a disaster...

Doesn't make sense to me how money has fans now. Little groups form around a crypto with nothing to offer aside from the basic potential of profit if your gamble goes the right way. FTT gets wrecked and there's still people going, "No! They're just haters! HODL! Buy the dip!" If someone lit a $20 bill on fire, burned it to ashes, and someone came up and said it's still good while offering you a dollar for the ashes; of course you're going to take the dollar and let them clean up for you but you're also going to think they're kind of screwy.

Here we have several projects, products, businesses; while the crypto and a vague promise isn't the main selling point. Can convert some time, skills, and experience, into money, that just so happens to be crypto. The flow is far more natural.

Now when these projects that offer shelf space for products would market their businesses independently to consumers rather than just filling the shelves and ignoring the consumer's role, this entire concept will take off. Want a post? This one says more about what I'm saying. I've been yapping about it for years though. I think it's kind of odd people will build a tokenized community that resembles a magazine, pay contributors to write articles, but try to sell the magazine to investors rather than consumers. If a music community pays musicians but doesn't have paying listeners, there's nothing to invest in.

Hive does a fine job with decentralization and becomes far more decentralized when millions of consumers hold small amounts. That's where the masses are when it comes to onboarding but the concept needs to click before it'll take off. An incredibly fascinating way to own your entertainment/information, in a sense, as well.

And I might start posting again at some point, when I can focus on it. New art takes a lot of time.
