Sunday blog 200621 - Communities
I went out longboarding down by the river thismorning, it was great to be out in the sun and the exercise is good for me. I want to get out more this summer.
While I was out I thought about posting. I might publish my actifit with more pictures I took. I wanted to 'proof of brain' while I was sitting on a bench. I ate a sandwich, does that mean I 'foodie'? Do these communities need separate posts for each activity? I like to cross post some times, and not at others.
My intention is to support these communities and draw more attention to the projects, concepts, ideas, and groups that are forming. They all have these dynamics, and are not just a static thing that can be defined either. In a way the LeoFinance community has a particular focus. However we all bring our own perspectives and can add our voice to that group, get in front of those eyes and ears. I have a few communities that are starting up.
The Canada Community is one. This is a great alternative to posting on Facebook. Have you found or created a community for your area, city or country? Do you know anyone in your area who uses Hive, or have you introduced anyone? I like to onboard new members every week.
These are opt-in communities and it can be intimidating to speak up and stand up in front of a crowd and express something. Fear of criticism might make you second guess or overthink your contributions, and instead of create, resist. Holding back your expressions and choosing instead not to define what it is your thought was, is harmful if it becomes a habit. So to err on the side of TO DO rather than NOT TO DO is when you take that leap and hold your breath.
Take a plunge and push yourself to the outer limits of your comfort zone.
Here is what I like about Hive,
I posted about my Green Tea on Friday, and I wanted it to appear on
NaturalMedicine.io , as well as FoodiesUnite.net
And that is where this type of post can go. This part of branding Hive is key to gaining larger adoption. I am demonstrating for others how you can use Hive as a Web3.0 Datalayer with censorship resistance and built in tokenomics.
I also posted this with the #proofofbrain tag so it appears on ProofOfBrain.io
"Proof of Brain: Smart and Social Tokens
"Token systems that reward users as they contribute to a token-based community system require mechanisms for establishing and evaluating content’s social value: we call this “Proof-of-Brain.”"
We put proof of brain into all our posts on Hive, this is what it is all about, and every community is using a form of proof of brain. The philosophy we are working on can be best articulated through the conversations we have. It is an evolving process of human meaningful interactions, whereby the exchange of ideas takes place and rewards can be shared that provide value in return.
Even in the case of my tea post, I would be lazily giving away my 'human meaningful' efforts, if I were to just post the picture on Facebook and get a bunch of likes from my web2 social network.
Instead I posted about it on Hive and did it in a way that engages with 'health' and 'food' community users, and took some extra time to add some more information and snap more than one picture to tell the story.
I post about Bitcoin regularly and I do it on Hive primarily because it is permanent and I can reference all of the infomation over time, including #coinsresearch on tokens and technologies and price updates. I use the #leofinance tag and when I post on LeoFinance I do so to participate in the curation and creation of the best Finance & Market information there is.
We are creating a resource here and all of the quality information as hypertext stamped into every block inside the Hive coin, adds to its value. In 2021 we now have have not only our Hive token economy with account/wallets, but there are now swap tokens for important cryptos like Bitcoin. This means you can trade BTC or DOGE or LTC or ETH right here on Hive-Engine markets and swap it for Hive, and back again if you want.
There are so many untapped potential uses cases for the Hive chain that as we proceed, new developments are going to outpace our ability to participate in them all. Already as this year I take a closer look at Hive Communities, it is clear that this is an evolution of the entire project and it might be unstoppable.
