Over the last few days I have had a few random thoughts rolling around in my brain about Hive and the ecosystem. Game ideas, marketing ideas, strategy ideas.
It can be overwhelming sometimes wanting to figure out how we can properly give attention to our niche community. How can we make people see Hive how we see it?
Sadly, I don't have the answer but I do want to figure it out.
One couple important focuses (for me) would be connecting accounts to outside wallets.
Second, we need to figure out how to normalize crypto projects posting announcements on Hive. Crypto Twitter gets a lot of attention but I don't understand how we haven't been able to capture this market.
Third: Ability to sell Hive for other cryptos seamlessly is just as important as making it easy for people to buy it. Allow and normalize crypto projects posting on hive, cashing out rewards, and buying the crypto of their choice. We could literally build bridges and capture markets. FOR INSTANCE: Last time I took money out of the Ronin (Axie) ecosystem, it cost me $80 in ETH to do so. There's no reason why we couldn't have figured out a bridge to have assets on both sides and reduce that cost to users. You could easily rake in profits with such high margin and you wouldn't have to have that much in assets on either side, you could just combine a few transactions here and there. Users could post Axie content, cash out Hive, pay a fee to have those assets accessible to them on their Ronin wallet and the Hive protocol could literally profit more in the transaction then they lose in the person selling the Hive. Hmm. Maybe I should get with some coders and put together a proposal.
Fourth: Allow "mining" of Hive to people just posting here for the rewards. Stop discouraging people that are not all-in on Hive to use it for their own gains as long as that content is quality and adds value (even if that individual user is taking out their rewards from it).
If a celebrity with a million followers started posting content on Hive are we really going to be upset if they are able to bring even a portion over? These people built a brand and a following and are able to leverage that community for their own benefit. If we don't encourage this, we are only shooting ourselves in the foot.
These are just a couple random thoughts I wanted to get out there.
What do you think?
