RE: Hive Is More Metaverse Than Meta

Have to say, great commentary on Metaverse attempts by so-called "Meta" (They will always be Facebook, to me. The company that has made hundreds of billions of dollars off selling its users data to advertisers.

What originally drew me to Hive was the simplicity of its design, and it had all the basic functions that Facebook had 15 years ago, but with one big exception: NO KYC.

KYC is a deathtrap for privacy and anonymity. It's also counterintuitive to what cryptography is supposed to provide for us as individuals online.

We saw the failure that was Diem. The pieces got sold to Silvergate Financial for pennies on the dollar. Facebook lost money just TRYING to develop a digital currency with a ton of massive multinational centralized corporations - and it failed miserably.

No one wants a facebook coin. Facebook Marketplace has already done generational damage to the second-hand retail market. I grew up with places like eBay, Craigslist, and even Amazon in it's earlier days. Facebook was created using DARPA money to gather information on literally everyone they could convince to join.

I've largely been a ghost online since 2017, you won't find any pictures of my face, you won't see my mouth moving with a voice coming out of it, I take privacy very seriously, and Hive fulfills those interests by providing a stable platform upon which to build, as evidenced by the over 100 DApps (including my favorite, LeoFinance).

Metaverses, in their current form, are all centralized, and that's the antithesis to cryptocurrency, in my view. They should be called Centraverses, it's more accurate anyway.
