RE: CUBdefi.com milestone reached
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It comes down to audience man. Leo jumped into the yield game with only a tiny amount of users knowing about it.
The other issue is Hive projects suffer from hermit syndrome. People in here tell each other how good their tribe is... some go to Twitter, and tell each other again how good things in Hive are. Then they repeat it again on discord... but again to themselves only.
Crypto is digital and digital is an internet thing, but it's not magic. You got to spread that information out and do it aggressively. Specially if you're only just starting out.
Leo was on the right path wanting to create a microbloging platform to entice the Twitter world. That was smart. The fact it's now pushed to next year shows however, what a very difficult thing to achieve that is.
So I believe Leo didn't pursue it because a cryptwitter might bring users but no instant dollar value. Jumping into BSC was the temptation that they ran with thinking that doing that would bring users and dollars instantly.
Well... that was a gamble.
Maybe it did bring money for some that jumped in early but now majority are wounded. And as I pointed out, that's because the audience was too small. Which shows that sometimes there's rules that MUST BE FOLLOWED with things that aim for sustainability.
YOU MUST ACQUIRE AN AUDIENCE, before you shoot for grand results.
Mainstream shows that again and again. Even twitter, which is actually operating at a loss, is slow at working out how to monetize because making sure that your audience stays attentive means your big plans need that audience to also want to be a part of that.
Because then if your plan doesn't work out or you don't deliver on your promises, doubt spreads silently and people begin to question your ability for achieving what your put down on paper.
As you said though, you won't get a direct answer from anyone else. Definitely not from Leo or the people that continue to pretend nothing is wrong. I'm that guy that people call "a troll" or "negative hater" but I challenge anyone to find flaw in my analysis.
TL;DR?
Here: In one image.
A peek early when everything was new and shiny but without aggressive marketing and an underlying method to growing your audience. The fall is almost inevitable.
We all make mistakes but when we learn from them we become better. So is KINGDOMS better? Or just repeating the same mistake? Leo stats show under 1000 monthly users is the audience and Leo claims they won't market until they have more users. Where's the logic?
Anyway I'm not even in them CUB funny farms. But I really think Leo have let down their community. Poor fools saying that they'll hold their pennies until 2025 HOPING for success is disheartening.
LOYALTY IS BLIND.
Not seeing you as a troll based on that reply :-) - I know haters and trolls (but just judging you from your comment which has valid points).
Agree on that by 100%:
It is the ongoing issue of no real #marketing around the #Hive ecosystem - know there is an agency doing sth - no idea on results though. I work in that area professionally (done marketing for WAVES platform as an example - they have a stronger community but also struggle with the usual blockchain problem towards manstream). And Hive is too tiny, can not comment on LEO leaders as I am not that active in here to be honest. Thanks for hinting, appreciated.

Well then that's why you see the logic, because you know the importance of achieving attention through marketing. I'm curious too on the reach that lordbutterfly's proposal will achieve. It's good to see a professional approach after endless go-no-where 'twitter madness' campaigns.
Update: he just posted and it's looking promising.
The funny thing about Hive and it's tribe initiatives is that literally NOBODY is critical. Because people don't want to risk getting blacklisted or shunned by the community. Resulting in no upvotes and maybe downvotes!
The likelihood of low level members criticizing also is low because they don't get taken seriously. The clear rule here is "you got to have a name and money in your wallet". The funny thing about that then is.. those that do put in money.. and gain status.. no longer express their opinion truthfully, because they have committed money so they themselves don't want to know or talk about the negatives. Or upset the other cool kids that have now accepted them.
Annd then the worker class.. well who gives a shit about them true.
PRODUCE YOUR CONTENT FOOLS SO WE MONEY MEN CAN EXTRACT REWARDS FROM IT.
It's a funny game this. Which is why I like to watch and comment on how things develop. This whole blockchain thing is very interesting. I like WAVES also and agree with you that they're a solid project which is positioned a lot better than Hive.
I think this chain has great potential too but lacks aggressive identities, marketing campaigns, and development that can push and give it some true recognition in the world of crypto.
Anyway I like Leo and used to believe they wanted more than just money gains but as I said their focus is only for yields now. That's a shame. RolandThomas used to make a point often that it was not about the money and that he really wants to develop the dream of finance for the unfortunate.
Turned out, unfortunately, that it's those very people that put up money and are now holding onto hope that they made the right move.
GET BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MISSION LEO!
This should be a post by itself. As a newcomer to the HIVE ecosystem I can totally see what you're saying, there's not much word about either CUB, HIVE or LEO outside of its own circle, the need for a bigger user base is evident.
