Hive is "The New Silent Revolution", Not Bitcoin...

Bitcoin is probably the best thing that happened to humanity in such a long time, but the Bitcoin maxis are probably the most annoying "cult members" of all times. Michael Saylor included...

I have unfollowed this guy on Twitter for a long time now because I don't believe his narrative that there's no second best. It doesn't even make sense, it's like saying that all that matters in crypto is Bitcoin and the rest is mere dust on an unpaved road.

I agree that many crypto projects out there are pure crap, but not all of them. Hive, as many of you have acknowledged already is a unicorn. Some of us in here don't even realize how lucky we are to have found such a unicorn and be able to ride to the moon, almost for free ;).

So, #Bitcoin is hope for #Africa. This one came out from the account of Michael Saylor himself, retweeted to my feed and it is a "promotional video" for Bitcoin and the role it plays in the "underground economy of Africa". Well, it's not that underground as in underground, but I guess you got the gist of it.

Long story short, Africa has the most fragmented banking, payment and currency system in the world, over 50% of the citizens are unbanked, there are electricity and internet blackouts and almost any simple financial task, like sending money between countries, is sluggish as hell and it has to go through "the hands of government".

Inflation is also an issue for the continent and when you have kids on a beach in Africa thanking Satoshi Nakamoto for creating Bitcoin you start to think: either these guys are so awakened and are truly benefiting from Bitcoin or that guy Saylor paid them to be in his clip. If it is his to start with. It's a supposition...

OK. The question that I would like to address right now to all of these Maxis "acting in Africa" right now is: where is all that Bitcoin that the Africans are supposedly using coming from and are they all aware of the lightning network when making transfers? Cuz if they don't they're gonna probably find themselves paying more for some tiny BTC transfers than they would by using the damn banks...

You see, Bitcoin is great, it's probably, if not certainly the safest blockchain out there. If it weren't for Bitcoin probably no other blockchain would exist, but Bitcoin is slow... and doesn't do a good job as a payments system unless one uses the Lightning network. From what I heard there's this thing called Taro which will "take Bitcoin to the next level".

Taro is a proposed protocol that will allow the issuance of digital assets on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Taro assets can be fungible currencies such as stablecoins, or non-fungible, unique tokens such as NFTs or collectibles.
Taro assets can be transferred over the Bitcoin network, or instantly, at low cost and more privately over the Lightning Network.

I wanna see that first, though... But let's get back to my question a few paragraphs above: where does this Bitcoin that these people in Africa are supposed to be using instead of cash comes from? Is anyone going to airdrop them free money? I doubt that. Saylor is too greedy motherfucker to do that.

So, how can these people gain access to "free crypto money"? Through Hive, of course. The blockchain is "the true silent revolution". Only someone who's been poor can truly understand poverty and for some Africans, being able to make a dollar or two a day from content creation and whatever on Hive, really means something.

Some might call these individuals leeches, as I was called as well a few weeks ago, cuz they usually can't afford to power up and all they do is sell their earned HIVE, but such individuals(the phony calling such people leaches) don't understand the basic concept of diversity.

Anyway, the idea is that Hive, unlike Bitcoin, is free to use. You can basically create yourself an account for free by using @leofinance leoinfra for example, start engaging with the community, putting out content, and earn HIVE tokens and L2 tokens as well by just interacting with the blockchain. And with these tokens, you can buy food, help the community, travel, and whatever.

With Hive you can start from scratch and get to a point where you can basically earn your living with this thing. I doubt there are enough faucets out there that can give you free Bitcoin so you can live off of these sats that you earn online. You can do that with Hive though, trust me ;). When LEO rebounds some will be able to make a living in Africa just by posting content on #threads. Mark my words.

By no means do I intend to bash Bitcoin with my shitpost here, but the way I see it, Hive is the new silent revolution, not Bitcoin. If the world would find out about Hive and its tokenomics, it would instantly claim a top 10 spot.

What do you think, is Hive better than Bitcoin?

Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
