Fascinating analysis on Hive and Web 3.0 in general. It has made me think about creating unique value in these platforms. The example of Amazon and the flywheel effect is a crucial point. However, here comes my somewhat controversial perspective: aren't we putting too much emphasis on replicating past models of success in a rapidly changing world? Web 3.0 should not simply be an improved version of Web 2.0.
I believe that true innovation will come from breaking with the established, not from following an existing model, however successful it may have been. Perhaps we are failing to see the potential of Web 3.0 because we are too busy adapting old formulas to a new paradigm. Web 3.0 needs to go beyond simply being a platform with more users or a better network effect. It should be about creating something radically different, something we can't fully imagine.
