Earlier today, the witness team hosted our second community meet up! And after the session, I had to run off to work but it gave me time to ponder everything that was brought up.
A huge thanks to everyone that stopped by and of course, all the team members from the incredible apps on the blockchain. You guys made the event such a huge success and we can't thank you enough!
And talk about excitement :)
While I don't have the exact numbers yet, here's what I can tell you so far:
- The Spaces had 167 live attendees and listeners to the event!
- It's been replayed so far, over 1100 times!
- The Threadcast on InLeo has just under 1200 comments and threads!
I mean, personally I haven't been this excited about 'numbers' in a long long time. And to think, it's just the beginning! We plan on hosting these every month and seeing them grow is our goal for sure.
However it was brought up, that there may even be a market or opportunity for some break-away sessions throughout the month. No matter what happens, seeing the members of the community so fired up was truly inspiring.
Take aways for me was:
Hive Is Remarkable
We have a community of #web3 enthusiasts that actually live, breathe and work n this blockchain every single day. The passion was evident and if anyone ever questions the community on Hive, I believe they are missing out on it's greatest asset!
The dApps Are Our Future
Hearing from
was amazing. There are no egos here when it comes to these applications. Just founders and team members that truly care about Hive and all it's potential. Incredible to have each of them share their thoughts and ideas about how this blockchain can grow!
Onboarding Is Cool, Retention Is Better
I think we can all agree...Onboarding is a major issue for this chain! And hearing from each app, they have plans to tackle it. However the idea of retention was brought up more than once and the question must be asked...How do we keep people here, once we get them? That can be a session all in itself :)
The Rewards Pool Talk Got People Fired Up
LOL Let's just say, this was the hot topic of the session! The majority of the Thread on LEO after the show, was addressing concerns about this topic. Nothing like a little bit of news, gossip and scandal to get people fired up huh? Big shout out to for stirring the pot :)
All in all, this was such an amazing experience. And we hope everyone enjoyed the talk and got value from it! But we've got some work to do on the witness side of things too. Plenty of planning and outreach will be taking place as well as getting outside of our normal channels to attract new community members!
This is what I tried to get across on the talk this morning...
Community is king here.
It's always been king.
And when Hive focuses on the power of community, nothing can stop this blockchain.
