I see Hive as a vehicle for exploring systemic changes in economics and governance. Each community can create its own economic and governance model. This kind of customization would be very difficult without digital technology. In contrast to the imposed model of governments and their taxation and legal systems, in this new model people can choose to be part of communities and participate in their economics and governance.

We see the modest beginnings of this in the current communities we have on Hive, where people participate by contributing content, curation or funds, and the distribution is based on whatever the community's distribution model is (typically, valuable content gets rewarded). This can be expanded tremendously. We can imagine people contributing all sorts of things, all sorts of community projects happening, and all kinds of distribution models (including UBI models). Can't wait to see more and more experimentation.
