It's no secret that Elon has looked at making use of Dogecoin for almost two-three years now. I mean, even his Department of Government Efficiency is DOGE.

Yet why does he do this when he can pick from literally hundreds of other new and more modernised rebrands? There are millions of them.

Well, Doge for a start is the Grandfather meme token. So there is that.

But then it's got what very few other tokens in general have in this cryptosphere:

**A good feeling of community**. 

Those guys have been larping it up, having fun and memeing on each other since 2014 -- price be damned. Yet they are still here, just as strong as they were eight years ago.

They didn't get caught up in the price, and just laughed and had fun with their bazillions of doge -- like it was originally intended for. And yes, their community is wild if you dare to check them out.

It's no wonder why Elon wants to have somewhat control over Doge, it's probably one of the oldest, yet truest communities out there. I doubt they will be selling all their bags at a slight price drop.

**It's no secret that [crypto is broken](https://peakd.com/neoxian/@raymondspeaks/crypto-is-broken-time-to-change)**. It's broken almost *beyond repair*.

We are now more attractive to gamblers than we have ever been.

The risks are high, and tough, but all you need to is hit an early coin and it could skyrocket your bags to eternia. Imagine buying trumpcoin right at the beginning? You'd more than likely be a millionaire.

Yet as we more and more stray onto hitting the big wins, and create casino's like pump.fun purely built around the intention of hitting a big one, then we stray away from what made us great in the first place.

Sure, small that we were; like a little indie community of stackers and hipsters before we became more appealing to the masses..

But we stray away what held us through those harsh bear winters, and people selling out their bags to the bottom creating fear and uncertainty from within.

### The community.

*But fear not*.

**A different time is coming**

And the gambling aspect in crypto is about to be reduced to a small segment of what we do here.

I say that because AI is coming to crypto this year and it's about to automate away the risk taking and leverage cognition to a level that can compete with the big players.

Very soon, you'll be able to load up your wallet and it will do all the work for you, abstracting away the need for late night chart watching, keeping up with all the news, and watching what the big accounts are talking about.

*It'll grow, and you can sleep peacefully.*

Sounds great, yeah?

Wellll, it's also **a double edged sword** here.

What this means is there will be massive, humungous liquidity transfer. People will go where the money is. I've owned enough tokens in the past to know and understand that a lot of people in crypto only care about the numbers. Number go up? Great! Number go down? Bad!

*So why the wealth transfer?*

Well, people will go to the places that make the money -- and it will leave a lot of tokens and communities hung and dry. Those that solely focused on the money aspect, well, now you have nothing because the money is elsewhere.

### See what I'm saying here? 

What will hive do if the people who make a decent living on hive can now get a better deal elsewhere? 

*Will we survive the transfer?*

Are there enough people here that are truly in it for the blogging?

**Time will tell.**

Hive's biggest selling point has always been the community -- **this year is going to test how robust that truly is.**

So if you want my advice for now and beyond, because I've been saying this for years, is to build a community around something, anything, and make it about more than crypto or finance, because that's going to be abstracted away very very soon.

**The time is coming for change**, and it's going to be sweeping change.

Like Charles Darwin said in his theory of evolution -- "It's not the strongest that will survive, but those most adaptable to change"

Oh yeah, and btc will always be fine.

Buy more btc.

Ha!
