I think some of our whales have no idea about selling and real-world use cases.
It is like you talk to IT people that have no idea "how to sell a product" or why it should have any worth.
We have many good marketers on Hive. Some of them run outside of Hive Multi-Million $ Ecommerce and affiliate businesses.
Most funny is, this group of people pointed the growing points out since the days of steem.
Now to the truth, nobody wants to hear.
Sure Hive has today more Dapps as Steem.
But I tell you something. There are apps in crypto, or that want to join crypto that will get more attention than any current hive app will ever get.
If they don't know about hive, they will never join Hive.
Nobody cares about Hive is more decentralized because nobody will know.
Our community was fighting on Twitter for the attention of the WSB-community. Do you know what happens?
Justin Sun Tweet he will buy for a Million Game stop stocks and got all attention.
WSB Chairman follows Justin Sun. So for me, it's more likely this massive group will join steem, if they join any WEB3 blockchain.
People love faces. Average people are fanboys. Bitcoin has also faces and become new ones like Elon Musk or Michael Saylor.
No single Whale, except @theycallmedan is knowing. And he gots banned on Twitter ...
Faces = Trust.
Trust = Value.
BTW: if Hive builds something innovative and Justin Sun plays copy and paste, and market it. If it works he has no development costs and can get the right people to build and manage it. If not, he losses nothing.
Nobody cares the work comes from Hive. Maybe some retarded nerds.
So if at some points SMTs here or something similar, we should have also the biggest marketing canons we can get.
And back to the start point. Today we have the most Dapps, Most Developer for WEB3. This can change faster as most people realize.
Remember how fast parler grew? Was around 50k user a day.
How many are active today? no idea. But the point is, that is what marketing can do. And if the user base is big enough, it's hard to kill a network. Most people stay there where the friends are.
So to all people with more than, 100k Hive powered up
The Community is the Value. So if the community gets 5 times bigger, the value gets 5 times bigger.
Nobody cares about fancy not marketable changes on some servers. People want to read:
" SMTs are ready on Hive, build your app now"
"With these 5 easy steps tokenize your community"
"Hive the true WEB3 Chain, Tokenize the Internet"
"Hive shows the Power of Community and overtake steem"
"500 Smts already on Hive and daily come more"
"Community XYZ joins Hive, WEB3 is the future"
.....
And for sure the onboarding is since years bullshit.
A Hive account could cost 0,1 Hive and that's all. Why 3? It's random and stupid. Same with Rcs, for normal usage it could be cheaper and smart contracts or other stuff could get more expensive.
Mimimi spam? If hive cant handle spam good night.
If a price is cheap everyone can onboard anybody because it would be by a price of 10 cent/Hive only 1 cent per wallet. That's an amount nobody would care to pay.
30 cents are different. (today's price 60 cent).
Remember the best Whale buddies like Netuso and Justine got around 100k + 30k Justine and 70k+ Netuso.
Both were 100% waste. No updates on Hive ledger. I also think nobody is working on it. Fund bullshit and do nothing with it.
Conclusion:
Vote for marketing, stop wasting funds on useless things.
