Evidence How Hive Is Changing Lives

Hive is changing lives.

This is something that we often discuss but is this really true? Do We have some examples of the impact we are making?

Fortunately, we have a lot of options to choose from. In this article we will highlight the situation in Nigeria and how Hive is already making an impact there.

We are going to cover some insight provided by one from that country. This is a lesson in how those areas with a low standard of living or ripe for assistance from Hive.

Nigerian Economy

There is little doubt that Nigeria, like much of Africa, has an economy that is stalled. It is lagging much of the Western world. Developing nations tend to face even greater headwinds when the US dollar appreciates. A rising dollar will obliterate their economy.

Many within cryptocurrency talk about helping regions like this. They take to their planes and do a promotion tour of how helps is on the way. This is usually done by founders or public figures tied to a project.

Unfortunately, over time, little changes. This is because after the cameras are turned off, the people leave. Hence, the locals are stuck dealing with the pitfalls of their economy in spite of the grand promises from these people.

To show where the bar is, we look at the minimum wage in Nigeria. This equates to around $38.95 per month (30,000 NGN). This is what an individual earning the minimum in Nigeria gets.

Sadly, this will barely cover a food expense. Hence, any increase off this is of great help.

Here is where Hive enters.

Opportunities To Change Lives

Now that we have a benchmark to work from, what kind of impact can we uncover?

Dealing with the bear market is difficult. However, in spite of this, we can see how there is life changing money available. This is enhances when the barrier is so low.

With Nigeria, according to the minimum wage, we are dealing with approximately $39.

This means that a little over $1 per day can make a huge difference in the income that one is receiving. This level will about double the total.

Here is an example from the article that I use as the basis here.

This is a screenshot of the pending payouts.

According to some rough calculations, this is going to pay out around $8 to the author. There is more than 1/5 the way to topping the monthly minimum wage. This includes no other activity.

Now, let us imagine life in a bull market. What if the value of these votes, in USD, was 5x. This would be equal to the monthly minimum wage in that country.

How many other places within cryptocurrency can make the same claim? Most operate from the perspective of "buy this coin or token". Obviously, without resources, this is not possible.

With Hive, we have a different delivery mechanism.

Just The Start

The key to all of this is feeding the local economies. Whether we are discussing Venezuela, Cuba, Nigeria, or any other developing nation, with Hive, there is the ability to direct financial resources into those economies. This, over time, can have a major impact.

We see the early stages of this in Sucre, VZ. This is a region that started a grassroots movement where Hive coins became a medium of exchange. With HBD, they are using this U.S. dollar denominated asset to pay for goods and services. This is a major step forward.

What ends up happening is parts of these local economies are linked to the overall Hive economy. As that grows in value, the tentacles start to reach these areas.

One of the things we discussed over the last few years is the development of financial services tied to Hive. This will be enormous when we consider areas as we are describing. Being unbanked (or underbanked) entails a great deal more than just not having a bank account. It also means that people are cut off from financial services that are necessary to grow businesses and, thus, economies.

Hive can solve that.

The first stage is to get money flowing into these areas. This can occur simply through activity on Hive.

A second step is for the locals to take initiative of starting to get the Hive coins, especially HBD, utilized as a medium of exchange. We are seeing this in Sucre and the green sprouts in a few other areas.

Our third wave comes when some of the Hive based assets are eligible for financial services such as loans. We can see the value of some of these growing to the point where one can collateralize. This could provide the money required to expand operations and build businesses.

Another piece comes from having funding mechanisms built. Loans are one thing but the big change comes in the form of venture capital. On Hive, there will come a day when we each can be a venture capitalist. As the value of the different projects grows, that can be accessed (through liquid tokens tied to it most likely) and used to fund even more projects.

This is how the baseline keeps growing.

While this is applicable in Tokyo, New York, or London, we know those areas have services that work fairly well. What we are building certainly will be a supplement to what is taking place. It will not be the primary source for a while.

The same is not true for parts of Nigeria. Hive based financial services could be the prominent source of funding for that town or village. People all over the world could become the VC money to help them start up different projects.

Here we see evidence of how Hive is already changing lives and the potential for the future.

This is what is going to cause Hive to explode.

Amazing information.

Thank you 😊

This is just the beginning. Hive has a bright future to change the live of many across the country. We are just starting

Bonds, and loans, are starting to look like smteees!™ at this point.
How long have you been asking for them?
5 years?
And the answer you get is maybe this fork, maybe the next fork 2+ years from now?
I'll believe it when I see it, atp.

Soon.™
Smdh.

If not for greed and selfish interest, the minimum wage would have been of such value. Do you know the minimum wage is just for working class not even for those who aren't working.

Hive has done much and will continue to do. I came across a hive borehole project, I believe with time more lives will be changed.

I've never seen like it. Imagine a capital of 56k PHP plus earning a 115.46% return in a bear market. That to me has been unparalleled, at least as far as my experience is concerned since the day I entered the stock market.

Just wondering if it is fine to share poetical and storytelling versions of Hive articles to Web 2.0 platforms.

I think my Facebook friends would be more curious to read your article in a poem:

In Nigeria's economy, stalled and in need,
Hive emerges as the solution, indeed.
Cryptocurrency promises, often hollow,
But Hive stays true, bringing hope to follow.

In Tokyo, New York, or London's domain,
Hive is a supplement, not the main.
But for parts of Nigeria, it's the key,
Changing lives, potential to set free.

Hive's evidence is clear, lives transformed,
With a vision for the future, steadfast and warmed.
Through financial services, funding, and more,
Hive's impact reaches the world's shore.

The question is, how many people are ready to embrace hive? It is true that the minimum wages in Nigeria right now are equivalent to $38, but it doesn't mean people survive on that. Many had to resort to another adventure to get funds to make a living. The meaning wages as you called it is just the basic salary the workers collect.

How will Hive be of help ? Hive is not even listed in many exchanges. How will people from developing nations embrace hives ? It is good to know that HBD is stable coin and people can leverage that to save their money so that it won't diminish over time.

By doing what they do in Sucre Venezuela and making shops that accept hive or HBD in exchange for an item. You grow food and instead of taking payment in naira you take payment in Hive or HBD when you sell it at a market. It’s just the medium of exchange.

This is a very good idea and k wish we can embrace this too in Nigeria.
