RE: Hive Needs Services Not Users

I don't know why people think getting rewarded for blogging doesn't work. I'm not doing too bad. Not rich yet, but I've built up a growing account that will only grow bigger. I'm not a witness nor am I a dapp developer. I curate, but most of my energy is spent authoring blog posts.

One thing that seems to be a big source of confusion is exactly what Hive is. It isn't a business. There are two things that make Hive what it is. First is the underlying architecture. The technology. The second is the platform. The architecture is like a state. It provides land for cities to grow on. The platform is like a city. It provides street corners and other resources for businesses to develop and grow on. The front ends are the business sectors. What we need, as you suggest, are Hivepreneurs, people who understand the technology well enough to show up and make use of the resources and build businesses that actually provide useful services. When that happens, people will show up to use the services.

I'd love to see a bona fide news agency on Hive. If I was a developer, I'd build it myself.
