"We Don't Want Crypto People on HIVE" ...Is This True?

"We don't want Crypto People here" was one of the points discussed by Hive account@taskmaster4450 during the Lion's Den last Friday. This discussion followed Hive account@brando28's idea of building a telegram mini-app for HIVE because that's where 'soon-to-become-coiners' are.

While I see Brando's point, I believe Task's statement is based on the idea that 'Crypto People' are the type of audience that only takes from the projects and doesn't give anything in return. I believe it's not worded perfectly, but there are still many people in the crypto space who are like that. I was such a person back in my Airdrop days.

Not all Crypto People are included in this, (admittedly bad,) stereotype.

People included are those who jump from airdrop to airdrop, forgetting each one as soon as the next one drops. Those who only spend the minimum time possible on a project. Those who lack responsibility for their 'investment' and still feel entitled for their share in the returns. Those who don't engage in the platform, and are quick to get out with their money before its death.

I can't even say it's their fault, though.

Most projects in the crypto space die in a few months. Statically, you'll lose more if you put your faith that a project will continue to grow after its initial airdrop. The fact that HIVE is still alive as a project until today is an exception to the rule. Even then, the value of $HIVE as a token isn't as attractive as it was before.

Eating as much as you could from a project doomed to fail could be seen as a survival skill.

We do want Crypto People! That's what I believe... Just, the people who tend to stay for longer than the minimum. The people who believe they should put in the platform as much as they want to get back from it. The people who look into the future, and decide if our platform is for them or not. The ones who don't write the platform off while still using it.

The kind of people who joined ~~Steem~~/HIVE in the first place and helped build it.

Great times are ahead! Or so, I believe!

Thanks for Reading!
