Seven years as an early adopter of a disruptive, financial technology teaches you much, depending on the notes taken. As my current projects line up with the establishment of a token, I hope I might impart the following ideas to the team, audiences online, centralized exchanges and many more.

Products must serve a purpose to blockchain users. Since people flock towards the most useful products, vaporware will not weather the storm. Value explains my blockchain of choice for seven years, HIVE, for example. What will builders create in the future? I hope we build, at least, a system where people develop their own solutions, with the help of blockchains.

Blockchain Solutions for Economic Challenges

Without the intersection of value, developments like blockchains would not command so much attentions. A precise result from the marriage of money and the Internet, the very value of money and work faces presently a unique revolution.

I write, blog, then thanks to readers like you, value returns to me without intermediaries. The hope is my team appreciates a perspective centered on easy-to-use, understand and valuable services and products for people.

Is It Practical? An Important Function for Good Products

The metaphor feels awkward initially, but a Coindesk article suggests good crypto products impact people like elevators. People are afraid of change, so build something that helps them move through life easily and quickly- something next to what they do or need already. It's true. You either build something global, individual, or context-specific, but it doesn't have to be rocket science. No one really cares how it's made or provided- elevators, music boxes, nicks and bobs. They just want it to work.

What's more, people with greater needs play less. You think Haitian people want to go to market and exchange with depreciating gourdes? Maybe a trading bot makes sense to an average gambler at his mother's place- but I see people with needs for less fees at Western Union and Money Gram.

Value Over Technicals

The writer doesn't mean to disparage or rewrite another man's article. I am concerned with creating value by spreading information in an intelligent, creative way. You think I give a hoot about block finality or the feasibility of 20% APY? People are making the trade of the century with Solana, a man in jail is telling the guards to buy it!

So, if you're building and it doesn't help people accomplish what they need and you cannot explain it? Don't bother. Now, will a bull market make you feel like you've built the next iPhone? Certainly. Greed and fear drive these periods which makes the motive all the more imperative: underpromise, overdeliver.

Thus, the author repeats: if you can make it effective and simple, you can chill.

Make It Human, Make Us Confident

Now, maybe the metaphor works, as I dismissed what elevators represent: human touch and fostering faith. I came at a time when elevator operators did not work anymore, so that's why I'll say this metaphor didn't really hit. When you add in that casual elevator music serves to add to the overall experience of skipping the stairs, the point hits its mark.

The way to overcoming resistance to NFT's, crypto, Bitcoin and blockchain will not come out in this article. Sorry. But the process and discussion of information helps formulate real, tangible ideas. Potential is one thing, but the perseverance to turn a decent conversation into a product takes more. Blockchain doesn't turn people because of the Layer 0, 1, 2 conversation. 20% savings rates means something, though. Add value to people's lives.

I think as a founder, writer, and guy who likes cheeseburgers I live with trust. I trust I won't find a finger in my food at Wendy's. I trust people reading and leaving comments take the time to comprehend the piece and respond. I trust that I might make a community of my followers a healthy windfall by following my well-worded marketing and communication strategy. Will people buy my token? Yes. Will people believe in the project, brand, vision and mission? I trust.

I also trust HIVE makes a damn good example of everything the information presented discusses.

HIVE: A Blockchain Solution Alleviating Economic Issues

I mention marginalized populations to highlight that, the first-world problems current crypto products supports, will not advance the space. A trading bot, an AI image and text generator are just flavors-of-the-month, flashes in Blue Diamond-brand cooking pans.

A project like HIVE, with the potential to alleviate economic pressures through effort, already makes more sense than 80% of the crypto tokens on CoinMarketCap. Yet 20% of the people in the space are aware of it, and maybe 20% or less of that population even uses it.

Yet, I know enterprising people from countries around the world leveraging the successor of the idea behind the STEEM token.

Most Impacted People Make The Best Users

I don't need pretty prose to describe the difficult economic situation citizens of Nigeria currently face. The cost of gas did a 3x. Inflation's up 30%, and food prices higher, thanks to an increase of 35%. Matters making it worse include this tough reality: people are making the same money they did in 2019 largely.

These specific challenges reinforce to me that people like making tokens and projects have a responsibility and role to make something meaningful to everyone, especially folks around the world.

Specific Challenges in Nigeria

Nigeria's specific challenges, the rising petrol and food prices might not have a product or service that directly relates. I don't immediately think any projects can combat the plunge in Naira's value. Inflation makes the cost of imported goods higher, what's more. Maybe citizens could exchange their currency for HBD to take advantage of the savings rate, but what else?

Many can't offer an answer. I hope my team considers the tougher questions when we get together.

The consideration of HIVE as a solution for economic pressures asks for more consideration, but I write to prove the point in the pudding, on the blockchain. The best demonstration of HIVE's potential as economic asset as users leverage their content for monetary value, would be to grow a decent war chest with the platform's applications.

I think I'm excited to build a user-friendly blockchain product, but worried that people around me and their commitment to certain standards. I hope I conveyed some of my vision, concerns and hopes through these thoughts.
