This is a very important topic that people most especially newbies need to be enlighten with.
I remembered when I invited a person very far from me to proofofbrain Community and the person opened a new hive account and didn't progress in the community due to complexity in not accessing proofofbrain Community, couldn't differentiate between proofofbrain community and hive community
The the reason why some people are confused in accessing and differentiating proofofbrain from hive
- Not having knowledge about cryptocurrency:Some hive members do not know about cryptocurrency before joining hive.They just appear in this platform to earn and nothing more.
Cryptocurrency are in three different forms
THERE ARE TWO CATEGORIES OF CRYPTO COIN
1 Coin with thier own personal blockchain (can stand on thier own)
Bitcoin is an example. Ethereum hive algorand litecoin dogecoin Solana binance smart chain.
Get your research about them. They have thier own blockchain.
2 coin built on another coin blockchain or another smart contract.
Now this is where we are to
Many coin are there without their own personal blockchain but instead built on another coin blockchain.
Shiba Inu is a coin built on ethereum blockchain with thier smart contract. Polcacity a gaming coin built on binance blockchain, splinterlands built on hive blockchain
There some coin built on multiple blockchain
Leo built on hive, ethereum and binance blockchain
Now proofofbrain is a platform built on hive blockchain.Both it's Community and token called pob.
Hive is a decentralized web3 social media platform and not coin alone.
That means you can't access proofofbrainio without hive account.
This is thier relationship.
Hopefully proofofbrain too would be accessible outside hive blockchain too.
This is all to my knowledge
