More than crypto
Hive is a cryptocurrency like any other, traded on exchanges and at the mercy of the market. However, the real value or power, if I may, lies in the actual people behind the accounts on the blockchain.
It is not just a bunch of wallets interacting on the blockchain, Hive is a community of people creating value and cooperatively growing the network from within. It is a hub for everyday people interacting with each other and with the blockchain.
Hive also offers free and fast transactions that matches the best blockchains around. Volume of transction might be lower than the top 10 blockchains but in terms of Speed, it is either on par or faster than pretty much any network in the crypto industry.
As one that's been a victim of a metamask breach, I think I'm in a good place to talk about the security or the lack of it. I'll tell you for free that if you interact with any Ethereum or Ethereum spin-off without a hardware wallet, you are playing a very risky game.
Security on Hive is a priority for the devs working behind the scenes and with multiple layers of access through keys that carry varying level of security access, your account is as safe as any crypto wallet can be.
Under the radar
Hive has managed to fly under the radar all these years and it sadly doesn't seem like anything is going to change. On its day, this platform performs like a top 10 blockchain but it is still far behind, in terms of market cap position.
When I look at the state of the market as a whole and the current value of Hive, I can't help but feel sad that Hive is criminally underrated. It really should be doing a lot better and I'm honestly not sure where the problem comes from.
A friend of mine with an interest in Hive said that one of the problems with Hive is that we're trying to be the "good guys" of the crypto industry and nice guys finish last in this dog-eat-dog world. That may be true but if Hive goes down the dark path, I fear that we will lose our identity.
Despite not being a massive crypto project, Hive will continue to thrive because the community keeps it alive. It is among a small section of crypto projects that are actively involved in the lives of members of the community. It is not just a money-spinning entity for fattening wallets, it is an actual place where people can learn, socialise and grow.
This blog post shines a positive light on Hive, portraying it as a community-driven platform that values its users above all else. The emphasis on security measures and the role of the people behind the accounts showcases the dedication and care that goes into building this network. It's clear that Hive has a strong foundation in its community, providing a space for learning, growth, and social interaction beyond just financial gains. The post highlights the resilience and potential of Hive, despite being underrated in the market. It's uplifting to see Hive's commitment to staying true to its values, even in a competitive industry. Keep up the great work in nurturing this supportive and engaging ecosystem!
