I had a similar conversation with someone yesterday about some of these topics! And this is always going to be an issue with a token that is used globally. The value is just going to be different across the board, and so the pressure to sell will have to be different also.
As long as a system is designed to have some checks and balances, it has a better chance of surviving long term. (the reason why I was talking about it - is because we are trying to actually develop that system! hahaha - and don't worry - it doesn't compete with Hive - it actually complements multiple platforms, so we are pretty freaking excited about it. And... I'd kinda love to get your perspective on it when we launch it very soon - because I like the way your mind works!!!)
@kenechukwu97 is a part of the project too. hehehe Of course, he's sworn to secrecy right now LOLOLOL but when the time is right - I think we'd love to hear from people in the community like you, to see if we are connecting the right dots!
And I agree with you - giving to others isn't categorically pity. If it's done right -it's generosity. And that's another principle that we have as a cornerstone of our project. But - mindful generosity. That's important.
Too many people give and give and give without researching, following up, making the connection, or even evaluating the REAL need. And that can actually be much more harmful than beneficial.
I love that you took the time to give your friend the 100% vote AFTER you spoke to her to see what her plan was and AFTER you knew that because of your friendship - you knew that it was a "good bet" to help her out.
Thoroughly enjoyed this post - and I am already creating a list of people that I really would love feedback from - when we launch our project! hehehe Hope you don't mind that you're on the list now LOL
FYI - soft launch is planned for June 26
Official launch is planned for July 25. (day before my bday! hehe) so you won't have to wait too much longer ... eeeeek! 😁 (my gosh that's nerve-wracking! hahahahaha i just realized its only 3 weeks away and i'm thrilled and terrified hahahaha)
