I stand by the idea that it's just inherently unworkable. The argument was that 'Hive' isn't a corporation in and of itself and so there should be no promotion by design since nobody owns it. or more, promotion should happen by the community just existing. Ergo, no promotion
Actually, Hive does have a "marketing department" via the DHF. It funds millions in promos like the Rally cars and the wells in Africa. It’s not that promotion is missing; it’s decentralized. Is the issue the type of promo, or just that it hasn't created the buy-pressure yet?
I think this isn't really the same thing; to make a business, one has to take great risk and with great capital. DHF is more a fundraiser. Very few are using their own capital, and nobody is finding outside investors for mainstream appeal, as far as I'm aware
