Hive As An Archival Database
Did you ever consider think about Hive as a system for archiving the Internet. We see different initiatives that are doing this, all in a centralized manner.
In this video I discuss how Hive could become a database for the Internet, at least part of it, and have information that immutable on it. This would eliminate the ability to change things after the fact.

that's why truth has to be recorded on hive, meaning subjective witnessing; people describing what they saw so others can learn from it.
swarm intelligence, rather than herd mentality.
we can hack all sorts of problems this way, with the right connections in a larger tribe of many tribes that we ourselves choose, rather than have some editor choose it for us. people choose their own tribes as sovereign minds.
it lets people suddenly be allies who would have never met (face to face). and find out things and also record those. it is the scientific method materialized.
everybody has a piece of the puzzle that may be worth sharing, whatever their field of interest.
and stored and available for others in the future to learn from it...
decentralized knowledge storage and therefore:
more human awareness.

On a very limited basis, I’m already doing this with my #oddsandends posts. Granted, just snippets of articles, rather than the full text of articles.
But the Internet Wayback Machine has repeatedly run into storage barriers, more than once begging for money for hardware. Here, something like the SpeakNetwork’s distributed storage might help. But for Hive, how much data could the blockchain itself handle?
Right now, we’re nowhere near filling up blocks. But with a lot of archiving the internet, that would become a real issue. Of course, the core devs might at some point increase the amount of data a block could contain and/or significantly reduce the 3-second threshold.
There have been a lot of leaders that tried/tries to change how their family has/is portrayed in history. Some are using misinformation to confuse people for elections. Even in the media there are woke or revisionist propaganda being shown.
archivedotorg does just that having a repository of data stored on its website.
