Are you Entitled?
I didn't set out to write a post to enter a contest, but it sorta ended up that way. If you want to see THAT post from 
It sorta sounds like the Jimi Hendrix song from 1967 “Are You Experienced”. That song was most likely about using drugs and the start of it sounds discordant because the Guitar, Bass and Drum tracks were played backwards.
Are You Entitled?
I hear it often enough-that people are entitled to something as a member of Hive.
“I’m entitled to a decent return on my investment-be it time and energy or money.”
Here’s the big ugly truth. The block chain doesn’t care. It owes you nothing. Not one thing.
The block chain is a place to store your creation that can’t be discarded. Nothing more.
The token, the Hive, is merely a score keeping device. Though the token does trade for other currencies it has no intrinsic value beyond keeping track of what has transpired on a specific block chain. It’s value, like fiat money, comes from trust and belief in the system itself. There is nothing there except a promise to attempt to pay.
Have you ever been Experienced?
I see a lot of people that are entitled here. What I don’t see near enough of is those that are experienced in actively building and protecting the community and the idea for which it stands. It seems to me you need to be actively promoting the place or you are a drag on the system.
I don’t know what is going to happen with Hive. I think it’s a viable idea and a really terrific concept but it needs more people involved. Needs many more people involved.
Have You Ever Been Entitled?
I have to admit that I have occasionally felt entitled to more members here so that more people could put more eyes on the content produced here.
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to go about bringing more people in. I really wish there were a ‘no crypto’ level where anybody could read and write posts with out the necessity of the ‘learning Hive’ part of the journey. I know I could convince some people to come here in that circumstance.
Which may or may not be leading me to the point of this post. I think we are going to have to modify the system some and put most of the transactions (posts and comments) on a second level to make it more serviceable for normal people. If there is anybody that IS figuring this out I would love to know it and would offer to help in anyway I could.
You see, I’m not experienced but I would like to be.
The genesis for this post was two fold. I was at 
Entitlement Fails
Seth Godin November 19, 2020
An attitude of entitlement doesn’t increase the chances you’ll get what you want.
And it ruins the joy of the things you do get.
Win or lose, you lose.
