RE: What Hive Really Needs
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
@thelogicaldude, do you have some kind of integration for $USDT or $USDC or even $BUSD or some other stablecoin that still allows for the Hive footprint, but offers a way to circumvent the HBD interest rate issue?
Can this all we worked in partnership with @leofinance's rebirth of LeoDex and the new connection to Maya/Thorchain?
I think usability and ease of access is key... it's what "won" AOL the Internet in the early days. It's wasn't a better service than Prodigy or Compuserve, but they kicked ass in the ease-of-use department.
@hivelist can build on "not only is this CRYPTO and DECENTRALIZED, but it's actually EASIER to use than Amazon/eBay!"

I have offered all kind of different payment options over time, didn’t matter and shouldn’t matter, you can exchange into HBD like you can with anything else. It was meant to be a currency from the beginning. That’s why it’s paid in a liquid format. Doesn’t stop people from using it to pay for a premium Leo membership that gives you what? In my experience nothing, but 10 HBD less in my wallet. At least when you buy an item, you have the item and not a promise of things that don’t happen.
I don’t see where the new LeoDex is going to do anything for Hivelist. If I was going to do anything it would be with my own DEX with LogicSWAP.exchange. I have tried several times to work with the Leo team over the years and straight up get ignored by them. In fact I asked at one point about putting merch up on the store and the answer I got was a post a few days later about the possibility of a LeoStore that never happened, so , yeah lost cause. They are all about LEO and that’s it. They don’t even support the second layer chain their token is built on so why would they support another community?
The store is as easy to use as any other e-commerce store out there. We even have an affiliate program that we advertise but nobody joins or uses. This was an attempt to get the community to help us spread the word, but has failed. Even people that do have stores and products on Hivelist don’t do anything about trying to help with marketing.
Atta-boys and tiny post upvotes don’t support a business. I over-estimated the Hive community in thinking they would support projects that were trying to do something different and trying to make a new economy, but I was dead wrong. People only want a “number-go-up” token and really don’t care about why the whole ecosystem is supposed to exist in the first place. They’ll cash out into fiat and spend it before supporting a business that accepts crypto for payment which boggles my mind. Hivelist is not the only e-commerce business that has tried in the crypto space either and has failed due to lack of use.
This space has turned to be about nothing but greed instead of creating a true free-market peer-to-peer economy that it was supposed to.
