I'm old enough to remember when Facebook was just for college kids & nobody cared about it. I also recall some time later when it suddenly became an overnight sensation and everyone wanted to join the new social media thing.
There are many similarities in how Hive has been building for years now, but hasn't yet hit the point where it explodes on the scene & people start saying, "Have you heard about this new Hive thing yet?"
I completely agree with your vision of how our blockchain home will eventually look. Few will be able to look at our rock solid foundation, with only bare-bones framework and partially walls so far & see the potential Taj Mahal being created. But those that do will be very happy they did.
That's too funny, I remember too when you had to be in college just to sign up. Now it's mostly those same kids who are now parents and it's more for adults now than college kids. Pretty cool to take a step back and see how these web 2 social apps began and ended, lots to learn.
