Why Hive?
![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kencode/23tmjeTQzgVuFDBzkurTivxNafyi6Zy4iVQtvRG6fAMUaMgJvGHYWW9J3cZqPt45aANcW.jpg) 
 
#### Someone made the mistake of asking me today why I build apps on Hive.
 
Here's a few reasons I came up with: 
 
1. Passive income. 
1. Transparency. 
1. Free, instant transactions. 
1. Increasingly decentralised. 
1. Numerous use-cases. 
1. All FOSS chain and libs. 
1. Web3-focused. 
1. Growing list of Dapps and games. 
1. Huge developer community. 
1. IFTTT/Smart-contracts. 
1. Automated recurring payments (bills, subscriptions, etc). 
1. Automated scheduled payments (pensions, employee bonuses, etc). 
1. Timed transfers. 
1. Zero KYC. 
1. Hundreds of ICO coins to trade. 
1. NFT's. 
1. Prediction markets. 
1. Tons of api nodes. 
1. Accepted at most exchanges and bridges. 
1. Multiple wallets for android, ios, and web. 
1. Ad-free and self-funding with a shared, multi-million dollar reserve pool. 
1. Direct-debit and beneficiary services. 
1. Free, multi-sig (and vanity) accounts. 
1. Supported by merchants worldwide. 
1. Atomic cross-chain swaps (accs) dev in progress. 
1. Paper wallets. 
1. A damn good stablecoin for USD. 
1. Human-readable account names/addresses ("please send 5 Hive to janedoe69"). 
1. 51% Attacks are impossible. 
1. Vesting balances and interest-bearing accounts. 
1. Stakeholder approved funding for your projects...
 
A few of those are still in-progress and getting stronger by the day. The Developer community here is top-notch so if you're looking to build a blockchain app or dapp, have a look at Hive.

Boom! Now there's a list, sharing this with my Crypto enthusiast friends, many of whom still don't have Hive accounts. Sometimes the simplest posts are the best, it doesn't necessarily have to be *War and Peace*

For sure #1 is a good reason! kidding.. although it is fun and good to get all the rewards, I joined hive mostly for the social interaction since I am NOT really a people person in real life, but online is cool! (and FB/twitter and such.. not for me..)

Before HBD came along, I didn't see #27 (stable coin) as a reason to do this, but now, I am spoiled by the great ROI it brings.. πŸ˜πŸ€™

In that case, you enumerated enough positive points to keep developing on the Hive blockchain.

Isn't blurt a fork of Hive? If I joined over there, that would be like throwing away all the things I have built on the Hive blockchain and stabbing Hive in the back. I love Hive, man.

Thanks a lot for this great list of answers explaining why choosing Hive is the right choice! 
Hive is more unique than rare and the great thing is that your list will get longer and longer as time goes by and at the same time Hive's utilities (which are already many) will also increase...
