We're in a constant rat race without any chances of letting up. Those who slow down are considered weak or unfit for the job and are left behind, forcing others to keep moving forward fast even when it might not be beneficial to do so. I watched a former google employee talk about the dangers of AI on YouTube and how the huge companies were afraid to slow down their AI development process out of fear that their competitors won't do the same.

It is very cliche that the fast development of AI(artificial intelligence) and ML(machine learning), something which we've not fully considered its implications continues to advance at a rapid pace because of an assumed rat race to an unknown ending. The desire of course is to remain on top after all is said and done, discounting whatever the consequences of that may be. I have observed that our sometimes hurried movements aren't necessarily due to our own inclinations, but because of forces that we cannot control.

Am sure if there was some kind of agreement signed between these companies with an effective way of monitoring compliance then we'd probably see a lot more research into the consequences of our actions before they are taken, or maybe not? External forces do drive actions though and affect us more than we'd like to give due credit. A typical example is buying the things we don't really need or even want just to keep up with current trends.

Away from large companies and focusing on us an individuals, we're definitely affected by the movements around us as I cited in the last statement of my last paragraph. Deciding not to be propelled into movement has its consequences that we'd need to consider before taking inaction as an option. Far too often though, moving too involves a directionless path that can quickly lead to burnout. I talked about the benefits of being an early adopter in my last article, but those who simply jump from one trend to the next can very often get their fingers burned.

Crypto growth is a great analogy for this. We all agree that the fastest way to life transforming wealth on this space is through trading and jumping on hot, new and volatile projects. This is also the fastest way to lose all our assets though and many have been permanently scared as a result. Impatience is no strategy, but many take chances with being impatient so that they can quickly move on if it does fail. I reckon if things were a bit more assured more people will be willing to be more cautious.

Conclusion

If we have a specific date for the day Hive mainstreams and its value explodes we'd see a lot more activity on this space, even if it is five years from now. Such is the power of certainty. Nobody wants to spend their time and effort on anything that feels like a waste. This is why we must take incremental benefits from any process or pathway we take. The benefits of being a Hiver isn't just when the value skyrockets for instance, it is rather as we participate in the community on a consistent basis and become stakeholders.
