Some of you may know I’ve been participating in this blockchain for almost eight years at this point. You could say I’m close to first generation, although I may have missed the starter pistol’s boom by a few months.
Through the years, I’ve been promoting this blockchain and have even managed to onboard important influencers too. They’ve left for “greener” pastures, but I wonder what would happen now if we knocked on those doors again.
You see, before, we had to explain how a little-known token, Hive, was not a scam—how it came to be, what it offers, etc. This conversation is almost always met with skepticism at first. It’s not a secret that most people don’t know about this place and thus feel distrust—some things are too good to be true, after all.
The dynamic today, though, the “sales pitch” if you will, can be completely different. Saying to someone something along the lines of:
“Hey, come join our platform. Free speech here IS a thing, and you can make some Bitcoin if you get traction”
is not an exaggeration nor an obfuscation of the total truth—not like before.
I submit to you that starting out the conversation with Bitcoin as the “header of the page” already sets the correct mood—it breaks the ice, if you will.
Once someone is in, so to speak, and learns about the current and upcoming projects on here—the power of legacy + innovation that HBD and V4VAPP offer, the HBD debit card, etc.—I think we are bound to make the “new recruit” a solid Hiver without much effort.
Let me ask you: Do these projects give you the boost in confidence you need to recruit skeptical minds?
