The world of sales is really strange. People in the modern world are trained to reject the things that they are told. To sell an idea one pretty much let people come to the idea on their own.
This does not mean that HIVE cannot be sold.
If one had a business where people came to the business to learn about crypto; then they would be excited about the platform; since they would feel that they discovered it.
I suspect that a few people are running such businesses. The businesses actively help people with their first posts and help people get their first upvotes.
I remember it took me almost 200 messages to get my first 15 HIVE. So, a business that coaches people in their initial days could make a huge difference.
Companies that introduced people to HIVE and that coached people through the first months of the platform could be both profitable and help the platform achieve mass adoption.
BTW: I actually thought about setting up a business that would introduce people to HIVE, among other things.
