Thanks for writing this, (and introducing me to @quillfire 's well-crafted post). I appreciate your points and agree for the most part, I'll simply add that my suggested approach Hive isn't 'about the money', or 'money-focused', money is simply a 'hook' encouraging the masses to wake up, take notice, and check out hive. It's simply a 'sign that hive (as a social blockchain) values' social content and interaction, what I see as Hive's highest-leverage difference between it and other social platforms. Failing to highlight or lead with such a strength as 'monetized social' or 'monetized curation' seems well... dumb, to me. Anyway I'm rambling and have written about this in huge depth already.. Just wanted to say, I'm grateful for you sharing your perspective and story, and it'll be interesting to see how others answer 'the question.' Wishing you a great day! 🙏
