Usually, I am not so serious here and you know me, it’s all coffee fueled posts. However, this time, I want to be serious. I don’t want to gatekeep this community 😀and just as I said I want Hive presence to increase around here. It took a while to get moving since my friend is now living in another province and he has his job as well 😆 at the sametime, I am still adjusting again in this city. But I am continuously working on this in the background and trying to get this going before the year ends.

Why Indonesia

Technically, Hive is not entirely something new in Indonesia; We’ve established a presence with members scattered across various islands in the country. You may have come across some of us. However, there is still room for Hive to grow in this region with more receptiveness in blockchain and untapped market potential as well as government interest in digital innovation – all these present a great opportunity for Hive to increase its visibility and user base.

A large segment of Indonesian have also understood NFT and Crypto trading so this is where Hive could offer an opportunity to leverage their knowledge and enthusiasm for crypto in a way that also supports their creative endeavors and explore various DApps that Hive has.

Indonesia also has several exchanges that listed hive such as Indodax, toko crypto, and Upbit to name a few which shows that Hive has a presence in the country that could increase trust and reduce barriers to entry for potential new users.

Here are some of the on-going projects that I am currently brewing alongside my bestfriend, Hive account@silvercrown1. He is a professional writer with extensive background in professional publishing and journalism. Without further adieu, these are the things that I am brewing :

• Seminars offline and online on hive targeting professional writers, indie journalists, poets, freelance writers and bloggers in Indonesia, mainly Java for now (the most populous island, where the majority of economic activity is concentrated).

• My current partner is @OCD with their onboarding program an @menulisID, a thriving indonesian writing community

• I created an account Hive account@learntohive or Ruang Belajar Hive (Hive Learning Space) that will provide the Indonesian community with various tutorials, guides and learning resources about Hive blockchain in Bahasa Indonesia.

(Through that account, I aim to provide more education and retention on Hive Blockchain as well as Web3 knowledge for future hive users that have joined the initiative. )

• Future onboarding partnering with Hive account@menulisid x Hive account@hivebookclub and local bookclub where we invite book lovers to check out Hive and encourage cross cultural literary exchange as well as facilitate Web3 Literacy and Adoption.

At the moment, this is a pilot project to also learn more of receptiveness from people of Blockchain and Hive. I prefer targeted audiences and I hope to expand more with a more diverse audience.
