What gladdens my heart is knowing that some people in developing countries, are actually able to SURVIVE on Hive.
Parts of Africa have a mobile payments system. Get a cheap smartphone, begin posting about village life, and now Hive becomes a lifeline for a family.
I believe that is where the future growth will come from. The pittance that we see here, is feeding people all around the world.
Some of them are really amazing people too. I've made a bunch of friends from Nigeria and Venezuela just in passing and now Indonesia, through our language exchange community.
My passion for Hive comes from the potential for it to give opportunities to people in remote areas and artists/creators who don't want to work for big companies
