I think it's hard to figure out an answer because only somebody who has invested and lost could feel what you feel. I would watch this year to see what is happening, things seem to get slowly better. But who knows....

Regards to Little Ricky @nuthman :D

Anyway, for me not all people can blog and they can't do a long form type of posts so adoption and adaptation to this platform will not flourish like facebook but for only some that have a passion, persistence, patience, and all the factors to really make the value of hive go up.

I think it is a legitimate question. In short term, change of blockchain (and token) name would create more problems than it would solve. In long term, if some serious onboarding - like bringing people banned from Youtube, Twitter and Facebook that so many dream about - is to be expected, perhaps change into something less associated with collectivism and denying of someone's individuality.

I'm not a fan of the name, but I like the idea. It might be unpopular to talk about here so feel free to decline answering, but are there other blockchain projects that are similarly oriented toward social stuff?

[Edit to say, I'm new here so to me, Hive isn't about drawing a profit, but about building a sense of equity in communities.]

Try to search *Hive* on Presearch search engine. A decentralized, blockchain based search engine.

i agree the name sucks - it is deep state social control - hivemind

BUT

you do realise the price of hive has just jumped 45% in the past 8 hours?

is this the worst timed blog post of all time?

In my view, I do not think we need hive to be the first in some Google search. I can easily see that people are already earning a lot from this project

Secondly, It is not the sole responsibility of core Hive to bring it to top.  It is the community, who should need to promote hive and create amazing content. I personally have just searched google about a lot of crypto related topics and sometimes about any other topic and saw that steemit was the first in the search results. Though a lot of people do not even heard of steemit and never tried to search specially about steemit but still they perform general searches on google or some other search engines and they see the pages from steemit

Although the name really matter as you said in google search 
if you type hive another company will appear
But in our hand to make the name heard everywhere
Remember Dogecoin "Dog" And where is it now

I think rebranding HIVE in the future might be solution

I believe there is still so much happening within this space, it is hard to walk away from it. Is there anything within the crypto sphere that is better? Asides from price, are there any crypto projects doing better than hive?


But even if you don't believe in hive anymore, sub-communities are doing well within the hive community. They are worth looking into.


The choice is yours to make man. Maybe this isn't for you anymore.

I wish I had seen this on time, Rick, in order to upvote etc. 
I thought you took a break - which you did, and I can understand you are busy with the little one and all. 
I agree with the issue you raised, it is true, I experienced the same - very confusing when you just search on google, but what can you do about it afterwards? Sometimes, just to check whether I hadn't posted something already, I do a google search on the name of the artwork I am thinking of posting. What comes up? Whatever I had posted on Steemit! But since the Hard Fork, the art I posted on Hive does not readily show on a google search (except wherever it can be found on my website, other art sites, peeps sharing it on their websites etc - but not Hive). 
Does the hashtag #hive help when sharing on twitter? Or does it contribute to the confusion? @poshbot picks it up and adds the tweet to your post, but does it do anything tp promote us on the internet? After all this time, we should have gained some recognition on google. Heck,there are several Otto Rapp, and some of them maybe more deserving than me, found on Google, but put my name in and you will find several sites where I am on, most already on page one - including Steemit somewhere down the list, but no Hive!
OK, so just now, I tweeted this post:
