@denmarkguy @nonameslefttouse - I've given up on the economic aspect. I use this place because I like some of the people here - you two included, and for some reason people gives more complex and interesting feedback here. It is also more diverse than other decentralised networks...
And for crypto... I don't know anymore. It has become a bit of a tragedy I think. As you write Denmarkguy it should be used as payment for work, not wild pyramidshemes, and smartery
I admit I'm in a similar situation. I enjoy the talks a lot. Met a lot of interesting people. Couldn't find that anywhere else.
And we are using this as a payment system for work, but the culture and common practices don't allow for it to extend outside. Therefore it won't make money. I enjoy the challenge of trying to change that. Probably won't get anywhere. lol
Things change and I just tag along and see where it leads. Neither a crash, nor utopia I guess.
Thanks for stopping by @katharsisdrill, always nice to "see" you!
I remember ending up here because I got so fed up and tired with the external world's (specifically Facebook) outright mean and combative attitudes in the wake of the 2016 US Presidential election. Like you, I found people here to give much more respectful and intelligent commentary. And so, I decided to "put my tent" here, as it were.
The economic aspect has become minimal for me. I'll let my HP balance build... and maybe in ten more years it will have enough value for Mrs. Denmarguy and I to buy an RV and travel around America for a while. Or not. I'm not attached.
Yea, I just pump up the Hivepower like you - then at least I can give some good upvotes.
