It is all very interesting to read.
Hive is just about to turn 2, so that is a big deal, we are still quite young and, since breaking from Steem, it has fractured some of the user base.
I feel, that we need another year or so to develop and make a bigger name for the chain and define what it does. Larger projects that launch on HIVE will, but also, drama - free development and growth will help. I do see that happening. New tools and ways to develop on hive come every darn day and that is so cool!
What I would love to see, are developers making Unity 3d, or Unreal plugins that can interact with HIVE directly., This means developers will have a simple way to make use of hive.
Also marketing... I thought there was a big marketing proposal that was funded.. but I guess it did not go well?
Yes we are still young, very fair point, lots of money available for development so hopefully we'll see some real progress next couple of years.
There was a marketing proposal, true, but I know what you mean, it does seem a bit muted.
