Lots of people were fortunate enough to buy Ethereum in 2015,2016 and 2017, because it’s technology was the bomb at that time. The blockchain could do lots of things that bitcoin couldn’t do, it could support Dapps, had an improved smart contract that differentiates it from bitcoin. In 2017 people could mint NFTs from Ethereum and that wasn’t possible with bitcoin. While bitcoin was seen as just a digital asset that can be used to solve money problem and be used as a store of value, Ethereum saw beyond that and had more to offer.
But one thing you should know is technology development is subjected to changes and improvements. Bitcoin was the first, then followed by other cryptocurrencies and their blockchain technologies, they kept on developing theirselves everyday. Ethereum has developed over the years since its launch and we can’t help but notice and acknowledge its contribution to the crypto space, but still, there is always room for development from other blockchain technologies. This is where Hive is getting involved and we are seeing that everyday in the Hive ecosystem.
Hive has developed so well and it’s still developing that you cant help but see that the difference between other high profiled blockchain technologies and Hive is simply “brand promotion”. This is because Hive is not centralized, was never centralized and will never be centralized.
Some people see the potential of Hive and still wonder while it’s ranging between $0.7 and $1. In my opinion, Hive is still new, it was forked off from steem when? About a year ago, with a lot of doubters and naysayers thinking Hive won’t survive without steem, but look at the achievements right now. Hive is doing great on its own. Hive is up over 400% since May, that’s pretty cool, but I know it’s not great because Hive is worth more than that. But this is nothing you should be worried about , lots of things can happen, you should just focus on accumulating and powering up and reduce your power down. In 2017 when the world realized Ethereum’s potential and started buying it, the price of Ethereum went up 13,000%. What do you think will happen when we start getting more recognition and valued?
Now take a look at Hive, Hive can do almost what Ethereum can do if not more, correct me if wrong, and then has its own super power, social media and organic community. Aside steem, do you know of any other social media platform that is based on a decentralized blockchain, the rewards are really this good or better than Hive and it’s fair? Hive is not perfect, but at list it’s outstanding compared to other platforms? The perks of using Hive is just too good that I feel so sorry for people who are not on Hive, do you know how proud you would be for being on Hive earlier before other people that will join Hive, in let’s say 5 years? May be by then, if you don’t sell your Hive, they will be referring to your Hive account that must have grown over time in Hive power, a whale.
The first Cryptopunk was minted on the Ethereum blockchain, and it has inspired lots of other blockchains to have their own punks. Hive has its own punk right now and seeing what the crypto punk turned out to be on the Ethereum blockchain, am not selling mine at all, currently am envying those that bought a lot of Hive punks. I’m just doing this because we don’t know what the punk NFT culture will be like in the next 5 years to come. In the Defi aspect, Hive is killing it, people are making passive income from Hive. My greatest gratitude goes out to people who are making money outside Hive and investing them on Hive. Right now am trying my best, some of my money I make from Hive are invested outside Hive, hoping they will moon enough to bring them back home to Hive, and make the value increase a little in my own tiniest way.
Truly, our community is great, but we can be better, but how can we be better, we can be better by sharing the words of Hive, in our smallest way. I was so proud of
