Man I am Jealous of you being able to attend #hivefest and appreciate your candid thoughts on your take aways.

After 8 years on the chain, it was great to finally be able to be there in person. I can only recommend the experience :-).

The benefits and value of a global, consistently-expanding network of invested individuals will add up like the challenges and become a beacon in the attention economy phase of the internet.

That's very well said. What makes us hivians different is that we are invested in the chain. Not only financially speaking but also emotionally I believe. I don't care what people are doing on other chains, but I care about what happens on hive. Even if Hive isn't growing as fast as we would like, this identification with the platform is worth a lot and we only need to open the way to other people and let them build the same link with hive. In my opinion, it's a matter of critical mass until hive can really expand quickly. So until then we go on doing what we like here ;-)

I have added you as a witness.

Thanks a lot. It's very much appreciated :-)
