Investing: Potential is Not Enough

The crypto space is laden with potential. The technology has the capacity to revolutionize the way we do things round the globe and affect almost every sector and area of our lives, particularly finance. Yet many times we see projects with the most potential gain little attention from most short term investors. Surely this is an anomaly that needs to be corrected.

Does this mean that potential is an insufficient marker for choosing a successful project? The obvious answer judging by evidence seems to be yes. What then is a sufficient marker for deciding to invest in a project if we require more than just potential. It turns out that there is indeed something else we need to watch out for when deciding on a likely investment.

The Hive Chain Story

We all know the potential that Hive possess. From a global payments space to a content platform, savings bank, investment platform, game development, and one of the more rounded information platforms that is available in the crypto space. We see, discuss and leverage on the potential here everyday as community members. Yet for me there's only one primal reason why Hive has managed to endear itself to its community faithful.

It is the relentlessness on the part of the developers, managers and community to keep improving the space that strikes out as most important. There are times when one may feel somewhat disillusioned as a user, then quickly be brought out of it by observing the sheer determination to see this place succeed. Indeed we have a lot to prove, seeing as we did emerge as a mere copycat platform from our predecessors initially.

There has been a lot of work to see this place succeed, as well as personal and collective sacrifices. How can I lose faith in a platform that continues to innovate and develop even when prices are extremely unfavorable? When community investors stand ready to buy the dip whenever we experience a major dip in prices. Such commitment to the platform will inspire even the most skeptical of investors, and combined with evidence of what it can do it becomes a goldmine.

Proof of Potential

Potential is just like a valued relationship in terms that a lot of consistent effort has to be given to make it work. There are tons of projects with tremendous potential that have been left undeveloped and neglected by its champions. We should be the first line of attack and defense when it comes to championing the cause of our own investments if we really believe in them.

Conclusion

Even here on the Hive chain, projects are championed differently. We know the ones that constantly try to innovate and outperform themselves on a steady basis. We'll be here for the happy ending.
