I started *The Hive* with hope that people would com together and bring about the beginning of something new. I understand now it will not happen so easy as the powers that be would lose those powers in such a project.

On the surface, which is all that is looked to. It seems like losing out. I see the benefits of long term though and far beyond any initial rewards one might gain. Were the benefits are much greater to populations and a compound return for investors. (Increasing so much over time a cap is needed on the investment remuneration.)

Life is like a cup of tea.
It's all in how you make it.

True, but you can't sweeten the tea without a drop of honey. (okay you could use sugar, but that carries other implications too big to go into right now)

Does it all come down to the life we would like to have?
Should it come down to the life we would like others to have?

Entitling ourselves to a life does not entitle any other to that life too. By entitling others to a certain life, by default we gain the same entitlement. The same thing goes in reverse. When we do not ensure these entitlements for others. We weaken the assurance that we will retain those entitlements or rights.

The Hive is made up from a few accounts. The hive account itself acts as a base or central point to them all. I am trying to create a network of integrated systems.

Instead of doing everything from one account. The Steem Power is divided among other accounts. The majority of this delegation is going toward other communities outside of The Hive.

This does not include the support gained from other members or community's from the platform. There are others who show support for the ambitions we have. The Steem above is from accounts under the control of The Hive only.

This is what has been built up By myself and the assistance of others who supported the idea's I put forward. Quite a bit has come from personal efforts put to specific tasks.
Not the extravagant account that would be preferred. It does provide enough to begin some projects on a small scale. Test accounts so to speak to see the interaction and refine them.

We are about 3.5% of were we would like to be in support to take on a project on a large scale.

In the current Eco System. Somewhere over 100K in Steem would be needed as a support base. (Reducing over time). This would enable the facilitation of a shop. Something that many have said they wanted to do. After the investments gained we still wait. With such a backing we do not need to wait. Just put the shop up. Open for trade.

Until then we will have a small shelf shop with a Silver coin or two to trade. These will be advertised through the Silverquest account.

We are also branching out to support those of the poker community. The HoneyChip account has been created to facilitate this support.

We will still run the Yes We Can account (yeswecan, The maybe makes it all worth while, Tuesday folks.)

We have 300 names. in The Alliance,

I heard a story once about a chicken who wanted to bake a loaf of bread. First though the needed to gather the wheat, then grind it and make the dough and then bake it.

No one helped the chicken with any of the things that needed doing. Yet when the bread was baked, they all had time to request some.

Who of the 300 names in #TheAlliance or #buddyup
would like to help bake a loaf of bread?
