What Are The Ingredients of Mass Adoption? PT1 Blockchain

Bitcoin Bitcoin Bitcoin, when looking at how large the Blockchain industry has grown being led by Bitcoin over the years, most people have no idea the immense amount of negative scrutiny and slander its received from both the public and the Government.

One will think that the fact that Bitcoin was the first and only technology to enable borderless anonymous P2P transaction without the intervention of traditional banking systems was something everyone will willingly embrace, however, everyone in this context is including scammers, fraudsters, thieves and every category of negative human behavior one can think of.

But how much of that could you blame on the innovation? A tool can either be good or bad depending on how it's been used and who uses it. Apparently we all know negative news spread faster and the government purposely made the media to program the minds of ignorant people to see it as what they portray it as, evil, all in the intention of eradicating its existence.

Accepted that many have and are using it for the wrong things due to its unregulated nature, this is based totally on human behavior, you can ask Venezuelans how Bitcoin was practically the rescue to their crumbled economy, but that's a story for another day. What I'm trying to say is that, in the early years of Bitcoin, it had as much negative reputation as could be possible. Many Bitcoin OG's will attest to it.

I remember those days, if you googled Bitcoin, the first page is usually populated with scam warnings and scam websites/blogs, the propaganda projected by the media made sure to portray Bitcoin as scam and no go area, now you tell me, out of 10 people, how many do you think will want to take a risk in what the media has labelled scam?

But also, out of that 10, by some sort of chance, 2 might take the risk, the replication of this scenario, is what made Bitcoin what it is today even amidst all the governmental/public scrutiny, slander and how much people have lost in scams and in lost keys, Bitcoin should be highly despised today, but that is not the case at all. People who discover bitcoin and understand its value find themselves lucky, me for one, even though I will never stop claiming having arrived late.

In relating this context to Hive, alts generally, Hive is in a better position for growth and mass adoption than Bitcoin was 10years ago, you can't compare the acceptance rate of anything crypto 10years ago and the acceptance rate now 10 years after.

Also, importantly, there are more mediums of passing information than was 10 years ago, majority of us are out there on Twitter, reddit, facebook, youtube, showing the world the capabilities of Hive, network by network and whether we like it or not, these actually have major effects however infinitesimal it maybe.

Sometimes I sit beneath the moon and think to myself, how will I feel if I had access to information about Bitcoin and bought a thousand coins at its launch, given that I waited 10 years, by now, that's like $9,000*1000 = $9,000,000, say I bought each coin at 10$, I'm horrible at math so I can't exactly say how much percentage profit that is but if the estimate is not obvious to you then maybe you should not handle money at all. Ofcourse its just fun to think about, there are more chances that I didn't wait for 10years before cashing out, but you get my drift.

I might have missed the boat of acquiring 1000 Bitcoins 10years ago, oh you thought $9,000,000 was a lot if money? Wait till I get to 10,000HP, sorry, scratch that, wait till 1 Hive becomes $10,000 in 10 years. Now multiply that by 10,000HP, I'm over shilling it at this point yeah?

Wait, forums were the mode of communication for Bitcoiners back in the day, old ugly looking forums, Hive is gamified in form of a social media to be monetizeable even while networking, collaborating, contributing, connecting, creating, basically living in a virtual world.

Besides multi-investments, what can catalyse the mass adoption of Hive?

  1. Topping charts : Topping charts helps showcase any inquisitive person directions or solutions to answering questions like what is most used this or that, from there the visitor could be converted into a user.

Ingredients that contribute to Hive topping the charts are -

  • Technology&developments
  • Rate of user activity,
  • Volume of transactions
  • Rate of active Dapps

For example, already, the most used Dapp according to Dapp Radar is Splinterlands is built on Hive, that's some major PR as Ubisoft is even about to learn about Hive through a program organised including both parties "handshaking" i.e Splinterlands and Ubisoft

While not all the factors are in our control like volume of transactions or maybe it is,
it doesn't end there. This is where I see communities coming on. Activity on the chain has to be fostered by community leaders, the more the merrier really,.. but the more active the better.

Things that are still in our control are factors like rates of user activity because trust that if every community is super engaged, Hive is going to spread like wild fire by topping major charts. Other factors like the Technology are why we are here in the first place, well, for me,..

While for rate of active dapps, there are two ways to it, Hiveans will give your dapp a try but spit in your face once they smell shit. I prefer that than to be accommodating and shilling crap just because it adds to the Dapp population on the chain, you can ask Drugwars what they faced when they began to go shady on Steem, thankfully the blockchain is transparent and all info are public.

According to state of the dapps 3 of the top 7 Dapps are built on Hive

This is cool stuff and will only keep getting better, Hive is barely 3 months, but in the real sense as been through 4 years of development and is only getting better.

According to my experience here over time, when it comes to the rate of active Dapps within the ecosystem, if the dapp is cool, it will fly, the presence of Layer 0 - the community makes it easy for Dapps to boom as I mentioned in this postwith the impact of layer 1 - the technology.

This post concludes the first part of this series in trying to brainstorm ideas to catalyse the rate of adoption of Hive, thank you for reading.

**Dear member of HIVE

Supplement 23 June - The witness @pfunk can't help but flag the account. So all spam messages are now automatically sent from a server. Now there is also no possibility not to unify. The text will be reformulated and every new member on HIE will be warned to continue publishing here. Also I offer every user a free account on Stemm including a delegation. Thank you @pfunk that it has come so far

Supplement June 19th - Some whales had asked me to stop with all the messages as they had written to @pfunk to tell him to support me and stop destroying the account. I have stuck to it and stopped. He has now sent more downvotes and from now on the goal is to comment on every post that is published about HIVE. We have about 300 HIVE accounts, which can be used alternately and will create new accounts daily. We will program different scripts, because every hour a post will be published in the upper 100 days. These scripts will be available for every user of HIVE if they want to use them.

I apologize for the automated comments. But we will not get another opportunity to point out our problem.

** For the time being this message will only be published for one hour, if the proceedings against us are stopped and the donations are replaced, we will stop this. Otherwise, this message will be placed below every post that is published about HIVE through hundreds of accounts.**

Are you sure you really want to post here?

For example, we have a small account here that belongs to a social club in Germany. Donations were collected here, and every month a few dollars were collected.

But since ONE person - the witness at HIVE called @Pfunk (a witness is actually someone who is supposed to represent the members) has problems with the founder of the social organisation, he makes sure that all donations are deducted from the small account. Others who also support the account are also punished, and all income is also deducted.

If you publish here, make sure that you only publish what is of benefit to the owners of the assets on HIVE. You must never express your own opinion or criticize someone who is a witness or owner of power.

You will soon find out that you only earn a few cents here. Others, however, sometimes enrich themselves extremely. Look around, you'll soon find that some people get 2 or even 3-digit $ amounts for small contributions, but you don't even get 50 cents.

Now that the account has basically become useless to us, we have made it our mission to inform all new members about what to expect here in the block chain.

There is no way to fight against the rulers of HIVE. You can only inform others and especially new members.

If you want to see how they take away donations for the association, you can see this here https://beeme.icu/?account=nesomi

If you ever want to find out what this is all about, you can do that:
https://peakd.com/deutsch/@nesomi/ve-the-blockchain-of-coldhearts-and-egomaniacs-ve-the-blockchain-of-coldhearts-and-egomaniacs-ve-the-blockchain-of-coldhearts-and-egomaniacs

and

https://peakd.com/deutsch/@nesomi/abuse of power and love-of-the-ship-witnesses radio or abuse of power and love-of-the-ship-witnesses radio

As soon as the devaluations on our account are stopped and the destroyed donations are replaced, these comments will be stopped.

Should this action not work, we will comment less than 1000 newly published articles with this text every day.

Unfortunately we have no other possibility to take action against such behaviour. Should you really stay here, you will soon find that there is no other way to fight injustice than with many messages.

To anyone who has problems with a witness about HIVE, I am happy to give the program, which automatically distributes hundreds or even thousands of comments.

We will delete this comment if you wish. However, this may take a few hours.
Add a comment "Delete comment "

In the last 10 hours, the downswings have been over $100 Think if love, not hate, were to decide for some how much good you could do.

Paypal should also be a huge new entry point for a lot of new people to get bitcoin then learn about alt coins like Hive!
