Of course, we as independent journalists didn't really do it for the monetary gain and were already happy using a decentralized and uncensored platform to spread our information. However, this new development does allow people like myself to shift focus away from other work and spend a lot more time on publishing here.
Yes, it's true. The price of the Hive cryptocurrency sky rocketed, and right now is still well above 2.00$. That makes the value of this network close to 1 billion. Of course, it dropped a bit again, but that's just the big whales collecting their profit. The end result is a value that is far higher than it was, and that makes it way more attractive for professional writers to spend their time here.
What makes Hive unique?
"Hive was founded by a diverse group of community members, developers and investors who believed in the common goal of decentralization. There is no set team and no company behind it. Hive is not based in any specific jurisdiction and has nodes, stakeholders and contributors in many countries all over the globe. Hive relies on decentralized governance, both for software development and for decisions about protocol upgrades, employing the DPOS consensus protocol.
A free platform like Hive is more important than ever in these precarious times for our world. Our freedom of speech is being increasingly restricted by centralized sites like Facebook. The hive network aims to allow people to connect, collaborate and exchange content in a genuinely decentralized and free way. Hive rewards its content creators, curators and developers to facilitate the growth of the network."
I saw the following price prediction on Priceprediction.net and even though it's just complete speculation, it's nice to look at:
Right now, I believe it's the perfect moment to spread awareness around the world. Let people know that Hive is here, and that they can now replace their centralized social media and use this decentralized alternative. And that they can also make quite a good income with it if they do the effort. Why now? Because the higher value of the Hive cryptocurrency simply makes it more attractive. Let's invade all social media and bring people to freedom.
Will we reach 10 billion in value? Yes. And I believe this will happen in the next few years. The total amount of users on the Hive platform isn't huge yet, and there are opportunities now. It would be wise if we put our focus on the PR part for a while. Together we can do it!
