Short form has its place but when I think of the time I invested in Twitter back in 2007-2010 and what happened subsequently ie the horrible place it is now, I'm much less interested in spending my time like that.

InLeo are overly invested in a particular business model - almost the inverse of the alternative opportunities Hive presents and you were talking about in your post.

The good thiing is that there are so many options on Hive and I guess one of the benefits of Threads is that we get away from the dreadful clash over "quality" posts, whatever they are.

I've done thousands of Tweets, but hardly use it now. I was also active on identica that is gone now. At least our Hive content will live on.

My only concern with InLeo is whether they stay on Hive. I have thought the same about Splinterlands. I would rather have these projects on the chain even if I am not into them.

We know that quality is relative and that some posts will earn regardless. If Hive did scale up then rewards would be spread much thinner. With millions of users they would probably earn a lot less $HIVE than we do, but then the value could go up. I am curious to see what could happen, but there's little sign of the growth we need.

Interestingly, growth in holding crypto currency doubled in the UK in the year to June 2023, and doubled the year before that, too, so now about 10% of the population, just under 5m people, hold a small amount of crypto - mostly around £100 - including allowing for the proportion of the population who are digitally excluded. The next report is due this month and I'm interested to see what it says.

On the other hand, there are 21,000 blockchains/currencies out there, so a lot of competition for a still very small audience.

In the workshops last week, one of the mind blowing things was that block chains are "printing currencies out of no where" and this was cited as possible one of the reasons why there was a lack of confidence in it. I did point out that the Bank of England also prints money out of thin air with nothing backing it and I'm hoping they all went off to check that after the session.

Having done the workshops, I have a bit more of an idea what to include in session, which was helpful.

Most of us don't really understand how money works, but crypto does get over-hyped. People are tempted by potential quick profits. I just don't see anything else offering what Hive does as an alternative to the social companies that most people don't actually like. You would think that at least some crypto communities would get involved or are they purely focused on one particular coin?
