I can see that many of my friends are having second thoughts about continuing to hive. Many of them have gone on to test the game apps based on the Hive blockchain like Splinterlands, dCity, Risingstar which are all cool and I do play those too. So I can speak for the gamers.
When I joined the blockchain a few years ago, my primary goal was to write blogs and I was new to cryptocurrency at that time and that is when BTC decided to moon all of a sudden. Even though I was excited along with others, I did not have many assets to boast about. People suddenly became aware of BTC and other cryptos and there was an influx of new exchanges in my country as well.
I invested a lot of money in the blockchain and even though it dipped down below, I did not give up. Unfortunately, the very people who invited me here gave up and some did not return to see us all fork into hive and how it grew and along with it, the growth of tokens such as Neoxag, Leo and Bro and dec and others.
January and the new year have all of us sitting up on our chairs with the sudden spike in BTC prices and alt coins too are doing good except Hive which is unfortunately low at the moment.
People are talking about giving up and this is what makes me sad. It is not about the price that makes me stick to hive and blogging and gaming.
Hive is about the community, the passion to write, and the games that remove the stress.
