The Dawn of a New Era for Hive: Smart Contracts

Greetings to the ever-evolving Hive community! As someone who has been a part of this vibrant ecosystem since its legacy days on Steem in May 2017, I've been a firsthand witness to its exponential growth. From blogging to actively curating and engrossing myself in enriching discussions, I've sailed through the highs and lows.

My Journey with Hive

From my early days in 2017, my primary engagement with Hive has revolved around blogging and curating. Engaging with a multitude of users, understanding diverse perspectives, and growing with the platform, my journey with Hive has been nothing short of incredible.

The Call for Upgrades

But as with every technology, there's always room for evolution. The beauty of Hive lies in its decentralized nature. Every major upgrade, unlike its centralized counterparts, requires a consensus. It's a testament to Hive's dedication to staying true to the spirit of decentralization. One such upgrade that I fervently wish for is the introduction of smart contracts - much like Ethereum's mechanism. And I'm elated to see projects such as @vsc.network pioneering this endeavor on Hive.

The Benefits

Imagine a world where Hive boasts a fully decentralized smart contract system. The possibilities? Boundless. To the skeptics, I'd like to point out that while many blockchains tout decentralization, they're often marred by the overpowering influence of Venture Capitalists. With Hive, the power truly lies with its users. And that's groundbreaking.

Platforms like Ethereum, Binance, and Solana have dabbled with similar features. However, they are ensnared by the strings of their investors, making them not-so-decentralized after all. Hive, in its essence, could change the very narrative of what a decentralized smart contract system looks like, especially one devoid of overarching external influences.

Challenges and Community Impact

I might not be a developer, but the implementation of such a system is undeniably challenging. How will our tight-knit community react? What hurdles will developers face? These are pertinent questions that time will answer.

Closing Thoughts

To the Hive developers, general users, and potential investors, the horizon is bright. A smart contract system on Hive, in its truest decentralized form, isn't just an upgrade; it's a revolution. As we look to the future, let's embrace change, innovation, and the limitless potential of what Hive can achieve.

Share your thoughts, engage in the discussion, and let's chart the course of Hive's future together!

This is my participation on topic of Hive Learners called Hive Upgrades

As a user, what upgrades would you live to see on the Hive Blockchain? What is that one thing you feel will be beneficial if it was added, and why do you think it'll be for everyone?? Please share with us.

_{I discovered Hive back in 2017 when I was doing my research. My goal on Hive is I want to use the stake power up to be able to help the community. I prayed to God to help me to be able to become a cheerful giver to anyone who is lacking like food, medicine, and livelihood. Hope you can follow my journey}
