Hive and Leo Finance as Micronations?

I have not heard of micronation until today.

Wikipedia has a nice collection of micronations. I shall leave the joy of discovery to you.

Basically, some people proclaimed their land to be a sovereign nation. They claim to be the ruler of the micronation and grant citizenship to followers. A passport can even be granted.

My main takeaway is that some of them generated a huge following and the power of community can be harnessed for financial gains in this social media economy. One such micronation is the Republic of Slowjamastan. It has a YouTube channel with a growing subscriber list. I must say the channel has some novel and entertaining content.

What came to my mind is that Hive communities should actually be elevated to the levels of micronations with value, and entertaining and useful content for its followers. Especially when each Hive community can also have its currency or token, the economic value of being part of a community can be more tangible than that of traditional micronations.

The key idea to note here is commitment.

Think about this. If we are committed to Hive or Leo Finance as a citizen of the nation, it is going to be a game changer.

This is not the first time we heard of thinking about blockchain projects as nations and users as citizens.

The next step could well be creating a structure to grant benefits to committed Hive or Leo Finance users.
