Hive may never "take off" but it has been the place I feel most comfortable writing or responding to another person's writing. My social media is a joke that isn't funny. Sometimes Hive is funny. As a crypto, it is as good a base to work with than any other. It's more decentralized than most, but has a form of governance. I do like the idea and hopium, but I do have a life and Hive is more of a temporary distraction and sometimes a log of what's going in IRL. But even IRL it is difficult to keep on swimming. Even basic things like finishing my taxes are being put off too long. Maybe we think about things too much and need some king of easy three word slogan to get us back in the game.
