Hive clocked 3 a few days ago and the community took time to celebrate, reflect on the journey so far and anticipate what is ahead. The one thing which the bulk of community members agree on is that we are nowhere we should be even though progress has been made, and that there is a lot more in store for this platform to come in the future in terms of growth and development.

Three years is not short time for any business or project, and the majority of startups often fail within the first five years. Hive has not really followed the traditional startup definition or approach as it continues to grow rather slowly, prioritizing development at a rapid pace instead. Yet at three we are right in the middle of the survival task, and it really does pay to envisage the future in order to properly conduct ourselves accordingly.

If we didn't see a future in the project for instance, am sure many would not be so heavily vested in it. People invest crazy amounts of time and money just to keep this place moving in the right direction. I can only imagine how a large Whale for instance might have been feeling during the time we experienced our lowest price fall, or how someone like Tarazkp for instance who has only missed a handful of days posting since inception would feel if the project had gone south.

I've talked about the future severally, and I'll restate the opinion that Hive has a very bright future in the tech space. We have the potential to make critical inroads into mainstream crypto financing, gaming and content creation in a way that will potentially set the trend for the future. This article isn't about what is to come though, but what has been achieved so far.

Hive is Impact

We may not have as many millionaires as some other crypto projects, but few can boast of having been as impactful as this platform over the years. In terms of reach, Hive has been able to provide succor to people from all over the World either via rewards from their activity, content creation or charity donations. Hive especially stands out amongst its crypto contemporaries for its accessibility and long term focus that generates returns over a sustained period of time.

We also have a go-to platform for crypto news and innovation thanks to this chain. This of course is taken for granted until one compares the information given from Hive exposure to the information scattered all over the crypto space. It is an edge beyond simply earning tokens, and we'll likely hear more stories of how this platform managed to transform fortunes by virtue of information. Hive has created a platform for magic to happen. People recognize this and are actively working to build and invest in the future.
