RE: Hive's Dilemma: To Network State or Not to Network State?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Your thought-provoking post on the future of Network States, Hive, and the broader implications of decentralized ledger technology has been truly enlightening. Before encountering your article, I was unaware that there was such definition in the concept of Network States, but your perspective has led me to spend a significant amount of time researching and contemplating this fascinating idea.
My own project, DiggnDeeper, is centered around exploring principles similar to those underlying Network States. As a result, your post has not only expanded my knowledge but also provided valuable insights that I can apply to my own endeavors. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to learn and think about these concepts and how they relate to the future of digital sovereignty and decentralized communities.
As you mentioned, monetary independence through blockchain technology has been a game-changer for the concept of digital sovereignty and allows communities to define their own values and governance structures. This decentralization of power is at the heart of the movement, and it's essential for projects like Hive to remain faithful to these principles.
Your concerns about the potential risks of attempting to fit Hive into a larger narrative and placing it under an infrastructure-provider umbrella are valid. We need to recognize that our primary strength lies in bottom-up organization and community-driven approach. Instead of trying to encompass other entities or dilute core principles, projects should focus on strengthening and expanding our own communities.
To ensure that we remain at the forefront of the Network States movement, it's crucial for us to regularly engage in discussions like this one. By reflecting on our goals, values, and progress, we can continue to evolve in a way that stays true to our founding principles while also adapting to a rapidly changing world. How else can we remain vigilant and focused? Hive even offers us the incentive.
I believe that our community should focus on solidifying our position as decentralized and sovereign while also remaining open to collaboration with like-minded projects. By doing so, we can continue to thrive as Network States that are grounded in our core values and dedicated to fostering a sense of ownership and belonging amongst our members.
I'm happy to read that my posts impacted your reality this way.
I mean, Hive is a still great infrastructure provided technology, however this is a limiting and not really sexy narrative to go on with. We should diverge marketing channels, depending on the target. But pitching Hive as an infrastructer provider for Network States is my concern.
Big agree on the rest of your comment. Thank you for your input!
