Truth.
The problem is what we are. Stagnated. The blogging side of things or whatever else we, us who are here now do. Does not matter in the long term. Long term, to look at things with any mind set of reality. The blogging side of things will be the distribution of newly created tokens. nothing more. The actions of blogging, games or whatever a front end decides to do will be nothing compared to other actions taken for daily use. HBD should have more actions per day than anything else.

Developing the chain is not just developing code. Maybe that is what is wrong we have only coders. Like you mention above coders are not marketers.

What is the best form of marketing? The best form is when the information comes from a trusted source. When someone you know tells you this is good, you are more inclined to believe it. The twitter feeds that get clicked are clicked by those who trust the source or like the source. Throwing an initial finance to any entity to do marketing for us is a waste of time and effort, The benefits of such an effort would be short lived right now.

We only develop code here. That is the only avenue of advancement taking place in a developing world. Unfortunately, the rest of the world comprises of more than just code. If we are not tapping into that we are steps behind other chains.

This needs to be discussed on other levels than just the same over and over again. If we cannot come together on one common project for chain support. We will never have a common goal and Hive will continue to divide itself and lose strength.

To combat the struggles that are coming to any chain or crypto-token. Defences are needed. Those defences also need to be funded. Removing from the rewards pool for this will again reduce the population using the chain. We need to fund the development of external support for the chain. A second generation of support.

Hive works as a chain and gains greater demand for use when we can out-source costs to a Hive support fund. This fund is regenerative too, and can increase over time to exceed what is available from the daily reward. We have no charges here on Hive actions to use for development. We have no returns. A complimentary companion to Hive is needed.
