Hive And Leo Should Come With A Health Warning

avatar


source
Once you are sucked in you are history and here to stay for eternity.

Today was a really whacky day that started off with someone asking me about Hive and ended up this evening with my family watching a bald guy with dark sunglasses talking about NFT's on 3Speak. How nuts is that?

A friend asked me today a few questions about Hive and I could tell the wheels in the brain were turning and it is as though they can see I am not nuts after all. My mates know I do this crazy thing on the blockchain, but have never really pushed it and gone into detail as from previous experiences I know they would just give up. Many said yes and never even got around to registering so it is their loss and not mine and they need to check it out themselves first before I help them.

I explained how I got hooked and compared it to a black hole where you poke your head in and you just get sucked in. Thinking back to then and now and it is one of the best things I have ever done on so many different levels. I explained about the development and now we have all these tribes/communities so there is something for everyone.

I do believe users who come and go have never made real connections on here and have come in with a lone wolf mentality which is super dumb as you cannot get away without supporting others. This is a two way street and to grow you have to put the hours in and that is where you are sucked in permanently. The good thing is it is enjoyable and more enjoyable when you are earning obviously.

Why I believe we are all stuck here forever is that you need stake to grow and the larger your stake becomes the more you make. At some point a Tribe like Leo will increase along with Hive not only in value but in the amount of users so selling is never really an option, for me anyway. Selling the stake will be twice as hard to make it back so I just don't see the point.

My friend never asked about value or what my account was worth but more about what I could make monthly if I had to rely on this to cover expenses. hen I told him it depended solely on the token price which could be 20c or $10 as it would make one hell of a difference. At 20c I said $350 as that would be roughly the liquid each month and I am not going to give any other numbers and leave it at that.

I could see he was trying to picture this as the world is changing so much right now as this type of thing still doesn't sound real. People are struggling to come to terms with things as proof how weird this is I had to sit my family down to watch a @taskmaster4450 video tonight about NFT's. They had seen something with a vlogger they follow or influencer and asked me about blockchain and NFT's for the first time ever. What better way than to give them the taskmaster treatment which they thoroughly enjoyed. I hate to know what and who they have been watching as that stuff is not my cup of tea but what ever it was it has got them thinking and what am I going to be asked next?

There will be a lot more of this going forward and its up to the people here now to create content to guide and to help get others addicted too.
I was at home and even my dad was getting interested. He is on about putting in some money and let me set it up properly to earn passively. It would be easy to do and he can afford a small investment to work away for a few years.

Things are moving quickly as others who had no clue now want to learn all of a sudden.

A bull market is a beautiful thing. We should see a lot of the older people look into hive again if it holds for a while. I'm just waiting for project blank to try and bring in 10-20 people that dabble who might like the experience. We are finally getting the tools to bring in regular users and get some excitement going here.

The key will be to get easier to use applications that will pull in larger number of users. The easiest way to learn about something is by doing.

When people read and talk about crypto, they process at one level. It is a completely different story when they are active and suddenly get some rewards in crypto. That takes things to a completely new level.

Do not send me the bill for the therapy sessions that your family will need after that. LOL

What you are alluding to is why I am so excited to see projectblank roll out. It will be super easy to explain and a great onboarding application. The best way to learn is to do. Imagine the delight when they get their first payout of tokens for being active.

That is how we start to hook people.

Not sure it equates to being sucked into a black hole but then again, I never had that experience.

Lol. First time my family has most likely ever heard of an NFT and tried to explain it on one of your old examples when you tokenize a building and collect rent etc. Being a part owner of something much bigger. I am normally left alone to type away on here without all these funky questions. They enjoyed your video though so it got a thumbs up. The timing is so right with what is going on and this is exciting but not telling my family Jack as they will want to know what I am worth.

You actually inspired me to make another one, more general. I just recorded it. Likely be up in the next half hour. Even mentioned you in it.

Took a more general approach as to why crypto is going to change things and how we are developing an entirely new financial system.

Thanks for the motivation.

You also can tell them that this little post, so far earned you a few bucks for writing a few hundred words online.

Try to do that on Facebook or Twitter.

Normally you help inspire others and glad I got you to do another post. They thankfully don't do facebook, but get the point. Will get them to watch the latest video in the morning as they have already gone to bed. Thanks for the mention and happy to get you working overtime creating more content.

Not a problem.

Glad if some of what I put out there is exciting to people. There are a lot of possibilities taking place.

"the lone wolf" - i've seen so many of those come and go

I'm working towards having more time so I can be more active .

I have noticed my results are WAY better when I get involved and have some engagement.

Engagement is where the growth comes from. Those who are busier than others tend to get supported more, organically anyway.

That is a logical outcome and something I harped on for years. I dont know why people simply ignore it. The level of engagement has financial impacts on Hive. The most basic reason is it allows others to get to know one.

Yet most simply do not want to take the time to do that.

Community and currency go hand and hand. The network effect is very real and it is why people will start earn crypto and not just buy. It’s the natural evolution of things. :)

NFT's are definitely a hot place to be right now. The markets are going nuts on pretty much all of the chains. There is a ton of money moving back and forth over these digital items. It is an exciting market to be in. I haven't had any of my friends ask me about cryto yet. We are pretty sheltered where I live though.

You can say that again and it is bloody brilliant. I think we have all done well by just being here, but more importantly sticking with it. Cheers and thanks for the beer.
