It has been a long time, looks like Hive has changed somewhat since the last time I was here.
I am back though, however, and I intend to bring back my various analysis posts. I lost all my old Hive-related content, that is why this post is less fancy compared to the previous ones. For now, here is a quick summary of what has happened with the last few things I posted about.
Original Post: @death-and-taxes/incognito-private-finances
Incognito is still around, still providing the same privacy services and more, but it has not performed as well as I would have hoped it to. Their app is a bit slower than it used to be, and they still have not released a number of things they have been working on for a while now.
Might be worth checking out for the services it provides, but it does not look like a good long term investment if you would like to make a profit.

WeedCash is also still around with an active community here on Hive. It also, like Incognito, has not grown as much as I would have liked.
Worth checking out though if you like looking at all the various communities here on Hive.

First Update: @death-and-taxes/an-update-on-monero
Second Update: @death-and-taxes/another-quick-update-on-monero
Monero is doing great, it continues to be the best option for private transactions and has shown once again that it is less subject to wild market fluctuations than many other coins are. I intend to post a more in-depth followup in the coming months about Monero's achievements.
Hive itself has improved significantly, though it still has a long way to go. The top posts have improved, but there is still a bit too much focus on finances and cryptocurrency. If Hive wants to become a more generalised platform with broad public appeal, this is going to need to change. Most people aren't overly eager to read about finance every day.
I have recently invested more into the Hive ecosystem and hope this place continues to grow. I intend to make a post about Hive too in the coming months.
If anyone has interesting topics for me to look into, please comment them below. I might make a post about it if it looks like something worthwhile talking about.
