It Really Does...Start With 'U'

I have bee absolutely blown away with a post that was written yesterday by @shortsegments ments

So before I go any further, let me HIGHLY suggest that you take a few minutes and read it. I will be dissecting his post tonight and focusing on the big picture that I completely agree with...

The overall idea behind the post was that we are the community behind Hive and we have a responsibility and duty to build this blockchain to the elvels we all know it should be at.

The acronym that stuck out to me was this:

A CURE for Hive

C-comment
U-upvote
R- read peoples stuff , Reblog their stuff and be Real.
E-engage in the first three things and put in some effort.

Let me be the first to say, this is something I agree with and have for years. I truly believe we will make or break Hive because while there are plenty of issues here oin chain....The community is always king!

So we comment more, we upvote more, we actually read the Snaps and posts, and we take our time to engage with others.

This has nothing to do with the DHF. This has nothing to do with what the witnesses do or don't do. And it's most definitely has nothing to do with the price of Hive.

It has to do with us....

Fancy that...Even though in @shortsegments post, he had the U in CURE for upvote, I'd add something else to that letter...

U - Us

U - Use

Us meaning, the community. Once again, regardless of whether or not the DHF is poorly managed. And whether or not the witnesses actually listen to the communuty...We are what matters on Hive. Us, the community!

And how can we make an impact?

We actually USE the blockchain.

Have you seen the incredible things being built on @snapie? On @threespeak ? How about that new @hive-grove faucet game? Not to mention @ecency and their incredible mobile experience...

I mean come on....Stop looking at the price of this stuff, and start seeing what an incredible blockchain platform we have right here. Let's USE this stuff, and make it our true home online!

I can't thank @shortsegments enough for that post yesterday because it really fired me up. The entire concept of being a product of our own product is something I have screamed from the mountain tops for years here, and it's like the no brainer of no brainers.

Use the apps!

Use the blockchain.

And let the community (us) remind the entire internet, that we truly have the greatest blockchain online.
