Ive been thinking for a while now what the next FOMO token type would be for the next bull market.
If you guys remember we had different phases when BTC clones were all the rage. Smart contracts followed, memecoins, NFTs, etc.
We even had shorter hype phases like the most recent one with AI tokens that are basically 100% useless. Or if you remember the short hype phase "move to earn" tokens went through at the end of the last bull market. Even Actifit pumped 2-3x at the time.
Hive is currently set up well to attract individuals to create tokenized communities and connect "social media" to "finance".
In the past it was the platform that was the magnet for the masses. Masses have arrived on the platforms. Now the focus is quickly moving away from web2 platforms and towards content creators. I mean you all know the massive brands of Mr.Beast for example.
Those content creators that allow their fans and followers to benefit from their own success will come up on top eventually.
Thats where a platform like Hive comes in.
We are kind of already doing this here on Hive in a broader way than would be needed to move this forward.
Hive is the "everyone token" and tokenized communities would require a plug and play system with a specific individual in mind. That might sound crazy to some,
why have specific tokens, why not just use Hive.
Its a matter of individuality, personal connection and action/effect that is directly reflected into your specific token. Representing the value of you on the blockchain.
That doesnt make sense now since wer extremely small. For reference, there are 500 000 channels on youtube with more subscribers than Hive social dapps have users.
If we even get a dozen of those tokenized communities up and running on Hive you would quickly understand the necessity for individual tokenization.

But thats a technical thing. What Im talking about here is creating a narrative that would push "tokenized communities".
How do you do it?
The problem with shilling Hive is that, honestly no one gives a shit. Theres thousands of tokens constantly shilled on Twitter and you coming up:
Hey, Hive is great, seconds,tx, price, awesome, good.
... will fall on deaf ears almost 100% of the time.
To develop a narrative around "tokenized communities" we cant be focused solely on promoting a single token (HIVE). It's important to highlight the benefits of social tokens as a whole, rather than focusing exclusively on the specific features or benefits of a particular token.
This can help to create a more inclusive narrative that appeals to a broader audience and highlights the potential of social tokens as a new and exciting development in the world of cryptocurrency and social media.
A message promoting a new "inclusive" utility is far more likely to attract eyes than promoting a token and mentioning its utility.
The space needs to want this new shiny utility and use case. The idea of it is what will attract eyes. It will even attract influencer slime that wants to stay relevant by being ahead of the curve with a brand new big thing.
An influencer that promotes a single token is seen as a shill. An influencer promoting a new idea, new utility is seen as a visionary.
We need to play to their egos.

These are just some tweets I came up with quickly for reference, you can do better.
Social tokens are the intersection of social media and crypto. The potential is enormous.
Social tokens are the natural evolution of social media. It's time for the industry to catch up.
With the rise of influencer marketing, it's clear that social media has value. But who's really benefiting from all that value? Are you benefiting #anon? You should.
Blockchain technology is changing the game for content creators and social media users. Are you ready to join the revolution?
Important part here is that the promotion is blockchain agnostic. But it needs to come from us, Hive community. If it does, Hive will end up being the final discovery, not some other social token.
He who controls and develops the narrative triumphs.
