The other day I wrote a post about the importance of engagement and how the most valuable content on the blockchain is the audience, and now there is an initiative to take and support this further. Not only that, it runs indefinitely and supports and encourages both content creation and the engagement. The announcement from 
With the recent and ongoing drive in price, this really is the perfect time to drive this kind of interaction and push of Hive into the public arena and the eyes of those who are not yet to arrive on Hive. What Hive needs is more consumers, more people to come in and read what is written and perhaps like many of us, fall in love with other aspects of the community - a diverse community, multiple gateways and experiences, gaming, communities, a creative space and of course, the potential to earn on interaction.
As said, there are two sides to this initiative - as a creator and as a consumer - and one of the brilliant things on Hive is that consumer is also creator, someone who Adds value through interaction and sharing the content that they themselves like to consume with friends, family and the world at large. While an author creates, the reach of what is created is empowered by those who distribute it through their networks - and when great content links reach the eyes of the audience, the audience will follow the crumb trail in.
Both of course! There is nothing limiting which path to take and nothing stopping people from being creative talents and distributive nodes who push the best out into the world.
There are of course rules to this initiative, and for the creators I will send them back to the announcement post to read the conditions. But, for those who are interested in the engagement side, I will add those here.
As I have said for quite a while, engagement within and from the community is where it is at, internal conversation has massive value and is fantastic for the retention of users also. External conversation reaches out to others and hooks them into the mix, to add their voice to the on-chain interaction. Once here, their journey starts, the exploration of the community, the interfaces and what Hive offers a user - entertainment, a global network, a place to create and develop, as well as early adopter status into the new economy, web 3.0 and the possibility to be involved in shaping the technology of the future in some way - not to mention, ownership of experience in a censorship protected environment.
When it comes to the future of Hive and the Thrive potential, it is up to us to be driving forces that take our community beyond the borders and extend ourselves through distribution and becoming more inclusive. Just like the value of a dPOS blockchain is protected by distribution, content builds value in the same way - the more Hive content in the hands of consumers, the more value content generates and distribution is up to us - together and as individuals.
This is a collaborative initiative powered by
