Participants on Hive market Hive as many things but the actual use case for the individual should be paramount of any reason for others to use it consistently. There are games, photo galleries, stores, blogs, micro-blogs, and they're all 'decentralized' but why is that important to the average person? It's quite a complicated discussion to have.

Hive participants are trying to draw in as many people as possible but quality creations will have a bigger impact on the blockchain and its projects than more consumers that eventually drop out of the Blockchain in favor of easier access from other sites.

I'm beginning to approach this topic as having a strong 'origin point' for creators. Creating something on the Blockchain and repurposing that creation to other platforms.

Thank you for creating this post! The discussion in the comments has been interesting to read. I hope Hive continues to take the time to grow with informed participants that want to 'build' the foundation instead of a swarming mass that are misinformed about the capabilities of Hive and leave with a sour taste in their mouth.
