They said that this bull market fundamentals matter and that crypto projects with heavy fundamentals will thrive, leaving shitcoins in the gutter. The reality, now that we're probably half way into this bull market, is that fundamentals don't matter that much and DOGE is a pure example of that. It's Marketing, shilling and any type of exposure that drives prices up.

Hive is superior to Dogecoin from any perspective one might look at it and still DOGE is a top 5 crypto, surpassing USDT on marketcap while HIVE is spot 260 on coingecko. It's such a pity and quite painful to look at it that low on charts. We can't say that we don't have a working project in here, a matter of fact we have quite a hell of a project.

The only thing it misses right now imho, from an apps portfolio perspective, is a microblogging app that was promised by Khal(@khaleelkazi) for quite a while. Once that thing is out, there's not much you would want from Hive. You have blogging dedicated apps, video streaming ones, DeFi in the form of CUB Finance, fast and cost free transactions and so on.

Still, we're not in top 5 and we should be. DOGE doesn't deserve that spot at all. It has however probably bigger and more tied community and it has something that Hive and previously Steem have always lacked of, and that's marketing. It might be involuntarily as I don't think anyone paid Elon Musk to shill DOGE, but still has it. Even Torum gets in the news once in a while.

We have basically zero marketing going on for Hive. I have been sharing my posts on twitter before #posh was a thing, many of you are doing the same, we've been commenting all over twitter shilling our blockchain, but still... position 260 on coingecko. We've not become a Mecca for content creators and neither for investors.

We've probably had the wrong approach and we need to get more aggressive and steal the show rather than earn it. I haven't checked that DHF for a while, but I bet no marketing proposal has been voted. The way I see it, so far that fund has been used to sponsor some circle jerking groups and nothing more. I don't want to enter any polemics but that's how I see it.

I'm a simple minded man and the marketing that I'd like to see for Hive is quite basic, but highly efficient in my opinion. I'd start with paid adds on twitter, than I'll go and bribe some crypto outlets to dedicate a few articles once every two weeks or so to our blockchain. I would reach out to famous youtubers such as @cryptodaily and ask for an interview or a small presentation of the project.

We need influential entities with plenty of followers to talk about us and bring us under the spotlight. No matter how many projects and dapps are going to be created on Hive, if we're the only ones that know about them and use them, we can't say we're progressing, but rather living inside a tight circle. Once we get some exposure those apps will get it as well.

I consider marketing being vital for any business's success and Hive to some extent is a business to. I've seen that in the business that I've been part for about two years. The ones with the most recommendations and positive reviews on google would get the most clients from the online space. Marketing and any type of exposure is vital.

The bull market is in full swing and it's such a pity not to be in the spotlight when we have a project that good. I don't know about you, but I'd definitely pay out of my own pocket for proper marketing for Hive. I care about and I love this project too much not to do that. Hive should be at least a top 50 project, at least...

Thanks for attention, Adrian
