I maintain that getting people using Hive is one of the best things we can do to connect global communities together in a real way. Unfortunately, there are all kinds of half baked theories about crypto that have people resistant to it (e.g. it's the devil's work - when really it's an improvement over databases that the naysayers happily use every day).

The silicon valley grid is designed to give the impression that the world thinks a certain way (through censoring dissenters). The isolation of COVID19 for many people on the censored internet just increases this perception.
