Many people are lamenting that HIVE's price languishing while BTC, ETH and some other alts are mooning.
Part of the problem is that HIVE is wrongfully ignored by big crypto financial houses that produce the reports that big investors read.
The latest example of this is the, otherwise excellent, Messari Crypto Theses for 2021.
This report has a whole chapter (11) on Web 3.0, including mentioning the need for un-censorable social media, decentralised content storage and NFTs.
They are starting to cover the 3rd blockchain paradigm shift which Hive leads, but they've never heard of Hive.
So lets demonstrate the power of the Hive community and write emails and Tweets calling for them to cover Hive in their reports.
If you post a screenshot of your emails or Tweets in the comments I'll give you a nice big upvote and I'm sure others will too.
As an example, here are my emails to Ryan Selkis (research@messari.io), the author of the report and Lou Kerner (lou@cryptooracle.io), whose email newsletter alerted me to the report.
Ryan,
Thanks for this report.
While I understand that your focus is financial, I’m astounded that you can write a whole chapter about Web 3.0, including mentioning censorship, social media and NFTs (incl problems with gas fees) without mentioning Hive.
Hive is:
- the largest and most active decentralized social media network (see eg. https://peakd.com/ & https://hive.blog/);
- the most popular and active blockchain gaming platform, which host the No 1 blockchain game - Splinterlands (https://splinterlands.com/);
- a major player in the NFT market (with fast, no fee transactions) (https://nftshowroom.com/);
- one of the Top 3 blockchains for decentralized applications (https://www.stateofthedapps.com/rankings).
With the largest, most active community in cryptocurrency, if you are not covering Hive you are really missing the 3rd blockchain paradigm shift.
