Indeed. The concept that posts and engagements can make money is cool... But I don't think the level that most people get to is enough to do hold retention all on its own.
That censorship-resistant system on its own is probably a better draw card.

The hard part is getting the word out to potential new users and getting them "locked in". I think this is where communities score. If I hadn't found some of the RPG/creative writing/worldbuilding groups early on, I probably wouldn't have stayed.
But the censorship resistance angle is one which could well gain strong resonance here in the UK and in Europe, where governments are working to implement the kinds of monitoring and censorship that puts North Korea to shame. I still think we need to layer that with a few apps that have the kind of real world utility that non-Hivers want to use them.
Not actually mentioning the crypto angle at all seems to bear more fruit these days, I think too many people have fallen for the legacy financial sector's relentless propaganda that crypto is just a scam.
Indeed. I think the real-world apps thing might be huge for onboarding and retention. I can think of quite a few but who would program and build such apps?
And yeah, leaving the crypto part out seems best.
We've got some really talented developers in Hive, so I think the hard part is going to be getting the word out widely enough to gain mass adoption, or perhaps to find ways to get an app viral so people in the wider world start talking about it.
