What is the value of a Hive post? We've talked about this interesting topic a few times and I think there is a general consensus on the platform that our platform produces and is one of the major drivers of value in the crypto space. That said, the explosion of information and digitisation has certainly amplified something that started off with the coming of industrialization; wealth without enterprise.
It is possible these days to have Billionaires or at least multi millionaires who create nothing and simply fall into wealth. Before that was left exclusively to those lucky people who won the lottery. These days it seems like there are better chances of creating wealth without value than there are of doing the same with some real value attached. They are certainly interesting food for thought that leaves the majority of us resigned to the system.
Many people for instance are all too happy to jump aboard the train. I mean, why do genuine backbreakin, value adding work when there's the option of an easy route for potentially exponential results? I am not against getting lucky as I am firmly on that potential list but I do worry we may be creating something that may come back to bite us in the future. without a doubt crypto has exacerbated the issue and we have people with no skills or talents dreaming of obscene wealth.
There is another angle I potentially see things from though. Perhaps those who do get lucky can lead the creation of enterprise with their new found wealth. However the results so far doesn't inspire much confidence. Those who stumble into wealth casually tend to look for other casual means of expanding that wealth. We may have embraced the idea of the markets but value should never be thrown into the background.
