I agree with you and I think people sometimes forget that Hive is a great social platform . it is not just a crypto. In the future the use of a crypto will become more important. The value comes from real world use as opposed to many that are just "currencies".
Use case is a overlooked thing .

Nice post, Jon. Interesting ideas that you present.
This is one of the things I like about Hive. You can speak your mind and not have to worry about pissing off a moderator.

The onboarding thing is really a problem to get mass adoption. I know some people who are crypto noobs and even worse are also PC noobs. There is no way to explain them how everything works. I tried it and all I hear is, yeah you know how crypto and all these things work. Yes, now I know but I had to learn it the hard way and read a lot of things and ask people. Most people will not put in that work.

Wouldn't it be great to have a more fun Direct message system...I get that you can text anyone on peakD but it's a little complicated and hardly any one checks their dm. I don't think I'll always want to chat on the comments section everytime, lol and it'll be a lot more fun to communicate here instead of going all the way to discord.


I like that you were honest in your review and we could as well start by killing the hate but I guess it's inevitable, we're a community of different people with different backgrounds and cultures, and it'll certainly be something if we all coexist in peace, doesn't mean it isn't possible...and upvotes distribution would always be a problem because some people would still feel like their posts are still undervalued with no attention.


Apart from that, I think the apps are growing, I wouldn't want them to rush their growths, instead let's strive to achieve something a little more perfect... we'll get there soon enough..

Thanks for sharing ❤️

Hive just needs to keep *building* and *developing* and coming up with real use-case dApps that people will pick up and use for reasons beside *"make money creating content."*

For me, Splinterlands remains our flagship initiative because it brings people here who *are playing the game,* not just looking for ways to put a few cents in their pockets.

I think we'd do well to have actual ecommerce conducted in HBD here... that would create a real *need* for people to buy and hold HBD. I'm hopeful the Hivelist crew will be able to bring us something...

=^..^=

Hive needs apps with use case. Because that is what will bring new cashflow and also establish the blockchain's value. I think we need something like substack on Hive. Like we release the newsletter on subdomain and get paid in tips on hive with those votes. I mean that is one way to appreciate the content on hive as well as some new source of income for the writers. I feel apps like this would be a good thing on Hive.

Onboarding would be my number one I think. I hope that improves a lot and fast. I don’t know much about it but seems hard. 

Hive: imperfect, but still getting better. !BBH !BEER

It is pretty creepy the way everyone is ignoring what is happening to me and still going to Hivefest. Lay the dirty snatches out why dont ya. Fake it all you want creeps, its so obvious the blind eye you are turning. @fyrstikken told me what V2K and RNM was before they turned it on for me. Around that time he introduced me to @roelandp .  I still have the emails between myself and @roelandp . This chain is centralized by design and @fyrstikken helped set it all up to fuck everyone, one by one, slowly into my situation. This is no joke you dumb mother fuckers, they shock you to your thoughts..... Hello????? It is in store for everyone you fools and your helping. Voices pulsed in your head and shocks to your thoughts??? Ignore me and help fuck innocent people for life? @roelandp and other top witnesses I know are involved with @fyrstikken..  Wait until people find out you conspired to enslave them with this shit. I am not crazy and you know it. they are doing this shit to me and told me what it mother fucking was BEFORE THEY TURNED IT ON! Your acting like naive children or maybe you are just part of the problem? You look like sociopaths. Everyone should unplug from HIVE until they are caught, .your. celebrating and ignoring my obvious, you look like fools. You know who is doing it....they are trying to kill me with it. The Havana Syndrome is real too you slave trading V2K, RNM enabling fuckers. Arrogantly play ignorant you Creeps, your setting the table for trafficking and total enslavement. I did not know I was circumvented until a year after I was?..People here will be nice until it?s too late. There is no way to stop it once they have you. Grow the fuck up, this is not aliens, gods, celebrities or a medicate-able mental concern. It is 100% electronic and beast as fuck. You do not want this shit. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Really honest review :) Hive is a growing ecosystem and hopefully more dApps will get developed which will catch the attention of those in web 2.

I love your enthusiasm! It's very infectious. I'm not involved in any development (and am frankly a little too much like Grandma June, except with much less time on my hands), and yet I'm also endlessly enthusiastic about Hive. Wherever you look there's something interested being developed, a cool new community popping up, or ideas being discussed for how to make this platform a true social media destination with all the barriers to involvement a thing of the past. Won't it be cool when we get there and you can say, "Seeeeee?? I told you so!"

I think the priority should be more applications on Hive. It's hard to onboard people but they will naturally flow over if you have something they want to use.

There are a few things on HIVE potentially ready to tip the scale, but ease of on boarding and having that one impact where folks from the outside in; get FOMO must happen.

GREAT POST @jongolson

3speak and splinterlands are day to day apps that people would normally use, throw in liketu as well. I think these apps should get extra attention, but like you said, I think there are really a bromance, it's a decentralized chain so chasing collective goals can be difficult sometimes. But we just have to up the ante

I love the platform and I don't think there's anything wrong about pointing out a few things that could be done to make it better. 

I think marketing the platform and some of the big apps here would be great, there should be some funds set aside for that alone.
