<p><img src="https://markethive.com/uploads/about/images/posted-images/THE%20TRUST%20CRISIS%20IN%20BANKS%20A%20PLUS%20FOR%20CRYPTO%20copy.png" style="height: 361px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>The US banking sector is facing a crisis of trust </strong>following
the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, which has left many Americans,
particularly those without insurance for their deposits, anxiously
trying to determine if their money is safe. A <a href="https://www.bitcoininsider.org/article/209191/more-186-us-banks-well-positioned-collapse-svb-analysis-reveals" target="_blank"><u>recent report found</u></a>
that more the 186 banks, or 5% of all banks in the country, are in
danger of failing. The article outlines the analysis, identifies the
risk factors to watch out for, and explains why investing in
cryptocurrency could be a genuine safe-haven option.</span></span></p>
<p><img src="https://markethive.com/uploads/about/images/posted-images/Screenshot%202023-04-02%20090248.png" style="height: 334px; width: 550px;" /><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Source: <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4387676" target="_blank">SSRN Papers-Full Study</a></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As
the above screenshot shows, the study is titled ‘Monetary Tightening
and US Bank Fragility in 2023; Mark-to-Market Losses and Uninsured
Depositor Runs?’ It was written by four academics from distinguished
universities in the United States on March 13th, 2023. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The
report begins with a brief explanation of why so many US banks are at
risk of going under and pertains to all the assets banks hold on their
balance sheets. These are US bonds (US government debt) and
mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (bundles of mortgages). US Bonds and
MBSs are the safest assets a bank can hold, at least according to
regulators, and why banks tend to invest most of their customers'
deposits in US bonds and MBSs.</span></span></p>
<p><img src="https://markethive.com/uploads/about/images/posted-images/USBonds%20MBS%20INFO.png" style="height: 140px; width: 650px;" /><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Images sourced at <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/difference-between-bills-notes-and-bonds/" target="_blank">Investopedia.com</a></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">These
assets earn interest for the banks and thus make it possible for them
to offer services with low or no fees. However, when interest rates
rise, the value of US bonds and MBSs decreases. The reasons for this are
many, but the main takeaway here is that higher interest rates result
in US bonds and MBSs crashing. If the value of these assets falls too
much, banks can become temporarily insolvent. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This
insolvency is temporary because when US bonds and MBSs mature, meaning
the loan terms end, the bank receives the total value of the underlying
asset. Again, the mechanics of this are many, but just know that US
bonds and MBSs don't lose money if they are held to maturity, and why
banks don't report the losses on US bonds and MBSs when interest rates
rise. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Most
information about losses on debt securities held by banks is immersed
in the glossaries in their SEC filings. It is not considered a
significant problem until that bank has major liquidity issues. It’s
because it's not a loss until they sell, and in the case of US bonds and
MBSs, they won't lose anything if they hold them to maturity. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This
accounting practice is arguably controversial. These so-called
unrealized losses are acceptable if the bank isn't forced to sell any of
these assets at a loss, specifically customer withdrawals. It’s what
happened to SVB and why it sank. However, there is one crucial detail to
keep in mind. 92.5% of SVB's deposits were uninsured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For
context, the FDIC only ensures bank deposits up to $250,000 per
account. Any amount above that is considered uninsured. SVB experienced a
bank run because its uninsured depositors could see that it had many
unrealized losses. This led to speculation that SVB didn't have enough
money to honor all withdrawals. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As
such, this bank run may not have happened if most deposits were
insured, i.e., under $250K per account. SVB had so many uninsured
deposits because the bank provided accounts and banking services
primarily to small and medium-sized <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/y-combinator-s-garry-tan-calls-svb-closure-an-extinction-level-event-for-startups/ar-AA18tK5O" target="_blank"><u>businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs</u></a> in Silicon Valley. These clients typically require lots of cash liquidity to pay their employees, make acquisitions, etc. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Around
$9 trillion of bank deposits in the United States are uninsured,
roughly 50% of all bank deposits. Banks have been happily investing
these uninsured deposits into US bonds and MBSs. The problem is that
interest <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/07/2022-was-the-worst-ever-year-for-us-bonds-how-to-position-for-2023.html" target="_blank"><u>rates have risen</u></a>, and their unrealized losses have proliferated. At the end of 2022, US banks collectively had <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/silicon-valley-bank-collapse-updates-03-13-23/h_b66a4ba532e5b332fb2086bb59b8946c" target="_blank"><u>unrealized losses</u></a> totaling more than $600 billion. Interest rates have risen more since then, so these losses are likely even more prominent now.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In
short, US Banks have lots of unrealized losses and also lots of
uninsured depositors who are concerned that banks can't honor
withdrawals because of these unrealized losses. The authors examined
over 4,000 banks in the study to see which ones were most at risk and
why. </span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Unrealized Losses</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>First, the study highlighted that 42%</strong>
of all bank deposits had been invested into regular MBSs, with another
24% invested in commercial MBSs, i.e., commercial real estate loans, US
bonds, and other asset-backed securities (ABS). The authors then tried
to calculate the unrealized losses on these assets. After crunching the
numbers, the authors found the following, </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“The
median value of banks' unrealized losses is around 9% after marking to
market. The 5% of banks with worse unrealized losses experience asset
decline of around 20%.” </span></span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Note that ‘<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marktomarket.asp" target="_blank"><u>marked to market</u></a>’
means ‘assuming sold today.’ In lay terms, the average American Bank
has unrealized losses of around 10%, and 5% of the most vulnerable banks
have unrealized losses of 20%. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So
if depositors were to rush and withdraw from these banks, they would
get 90% of their money back at the average bank and 80% back at a
vulnerable bank. Not surprisingly, these unrealized losses were the
smallest for <a href="https://www.bis.org/bcbs/gsib/" target="_blank"><u>Global Systemically Important Banks</u></a>
(GSIB), including JPMorgan and Bank of America. GSIBs have less than 5%
of unrealized losses. The average non-GSIB has 10% unrealized losses,
and SVB wasn't even the worst. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The
authors found that more than 11% of US banks had larger unrealized
losses than SVB when it collapsed. They estimate that as many as 500
other banks could have failed based purely on unrealized losses. The
reason why only SVB went down was because of the high number of
uninsured deposits. The authors then provide a series of scenarios to
showcase how uninsured depositors could react to rising interest rates.</span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Uninsured Depositors Waking Up</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>The first scenario assumes</strong>
that the uninsured depositors stick around and wait. The other three
scenarios surmise they withdraw and invest in other assets, which
provides a higher interest rate than a savings account. Understand that
insolvency fears related to unrealized losses aren't the only reason why
uninsured depositors withdraw money from a bank. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The
primary reason why they would do this is that they want to earn a
high-interest rate on their large deposits. This desire for yield
increases as interest rates rise. Unfortunately for the banks, it's hard
for them to provide competitive interest rates on savings accounts
without losing lots of money. This is why many US banks <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/interest-rates-analysis-1.6764143" target="_blank"><u>haven't increased</u></a>
their interest rates on savings accounts, despite interest rates
increasing. They’re making lots of money off their depositors. However,
if they were to raise interest rates on savings accounts, they wouldn't
make nearly as much money. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In
the study, the authors assume that most uninsured depositors are
sleepy, meaning they aren't rushing to withdraw to earn a higher
interest rate elsewhere. However, this is starting to change; besides
the banking crisis, the high-interest rates that are still rising in
other regions tempt those sleepy uninsured depositors into waking up and
moving their money elsewhere. If they do this, banks with large,
unrealized losses will start going under as they won't be able to honor
all withdrawals. </span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">How Many Banks At Risk?</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Naturally, the authors assess</strong>
whether banks have enough assets to honor these upcoming withdrawals
from uninsured depositors. They assume that the FDIC doesn't close down
banks that come under stress, which is significant because the FDIC is
likely to do this if banks start getting squeezed. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The
good news is that all bar two American banks have enough assets to
honor withdrawals from uninsured depositors. The bad news is that the
authors don't specify which two banks are at risk, but they conclude
that this little risk means additional bank runs are unlikely for the
time being. </span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">For Good Measure</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>As an extra,</strong>
the authors analyzed the possibility of what would happen if uninsured
depositors ran. They did a number of simulations of bank runs, from 10%
to 100% of uninsured depositors withdrawing their assets. </span></span></p>
<p><img src="https://markethive.com/uploads/about/images/posted-images/Screenshot%202023-04-05%20110517.png" style="height: 387px; width: 550px;" /><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Source: <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4387676" target="_blank">SSRN Papers-Full Study</a></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">What's concerning is that the ten banks most at risk of experiencing a bank run are large. As the authors cite in the study, </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> “The
risk of run does not only apply to smaller banks. Out of the 10 largest
insolvent banks, 1 has assets above $1 Trillion, 3 have assets above
$200 Billion (but less than $1 Trillion), 3 have assets above $100
Billion (but less than $200 Billion), and the remaining 3 have assets
greater than $50 Billion (but less than $100 Billion).” </span></span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Unfortunately,
the authors don't specify which banks these are but reveal how
sensitive US banks are to bank runs. They concluded that even if just
10% of uninsured depositors withdrew their money from banks, 66 banks
would go under. If 30% of uninsured depositors withdrew their money, 106
banks would go under. If half of all uninsured depositors ran, 186
banks would fail. This underscores that at least a few dozen banks are <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/20/investing/banking-crisis-credit-suisse-first-republic/index.html" target="_blank"><u>at risk of going under</u></a> over the coming months. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This
is ultimately due to the fatal combination of significant unrealized
losses due to rising interest rates and withdrawals from uninsured
depositors seeking higher yields from these rates. The final simulation
was if 100% of uninsured deposits withdrew all their assets from US
banks. They insisted that this simulation is worth doing to assess the
state of the US banking sector. Surprisingly only about half of US banks
would go under. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The
authors then conclude by highlighting that the value of assets held by
US banks is more than $2 trillion lower than what's being reported,
thanks to unrealized losses-based accounting. They reiterate that
hundreds of banks are at risk of going under if uninsured depositors
withdraw. They warned that even small numbers of withdrawals from
uninsured depositors could lead to unrealized losses being realized.
This would lead to more bank runs, evolving into an even bigger banking
crisis than we've seen. They go as far as to suggest regulations to
address this. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For
starters, banks should start changing how they report their unrealized
losses so that bank depositors have a better sense of how underwater
their banks are. Because of the lack of transparency, the authors
manually calculated these unrealized losses using complex maths. The
authors acknowledge that this won't solve the insolvency risks many
banks face, so they recommend that banks be forced to increase their
capital requirements. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This coincides with what Michael Barr, the Fed’s Vice-chair for Supervision, has been busy doing. Michael had been <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/barr20221201a.htm" target="_blank"><u>examining capital requirements</u></a>
for banks before the banking crisis began. Maybe he saw the banking
crisis coming or was preparing to take advantage of it to introduce
regulations. Michael Bar’s <a href="https://au.news.yahoo.com/feds-barr-warns-banks-to-take-careful-and-cautious-approach-to-crypto-205139087.html" target="_blank"><u>anti-crypto speech</u></a>
indicates the second possibility is the most likely. Michael has been
desperate to increase his powers, presumably to consolidate the banking
sector to assist in the rollout of a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thebisvisionthefuturemonetarysystem" target="_blank"><u>central bank digital currency</u></a>. </span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Be Vigilant of The Risk Elements</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Which risk factors should you be aware of</strong>
when analyzing banks? I am not a financial adviser. Still, my research
into this convoluted accounting system revealed that the two main risk
factors are unrealized losses and uninsured deposits. It is at risk if
your bank has many unrealized losses and uninsured deposits. The problem
is that it takes work to estimate these unrealized losses. Moreover,
not all uninsured deposits are prone to flight. Remember that most of
them are required to pay employees at small companies. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Also,
as mentioned above, most banks with many uninsured deposits tend to be
smaller, i.e., not GSIBs. In theory, this makes them inherently riskier
than GSIBs. In practice, though, when a non-GSIB goes under, it gets
acquired by a GSIB. This means your assets could be safer at a small
bank. If you read the article about <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/whathavethebureaucratsplannedtosavebanksinthenextfinancialcrisis" target="_blank"><u>bank bail-ins</u></a>, you'll know that GSIBs can be risky. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">If
a non-GSIB goes under, it gets acquired by a big bank, and customer
deposits are kept, but if a GSIB goes under, customer deposits are used
to bail them out. As recently happened with Credit Suisse and its
takeover by UBS. The arguably political deal required capital from
somewhere to satisfy UBS. According <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/credit-suisses-bail-in-bonds-made-an-easy-target-for-politicians-2a821441" target="_blank"><u>to WSJ</u></a>, the Swiss government was desperate to avoid the appearance that this was a taxpayer-funded bailout.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">GSIBs are also more likely to comply with investment ideologies, like ESG. As discussed in <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/esgawokeideologywreakinghavocasantiesgrhetoricheightens" target="_blank"><u>this article</u></a>,
the Bank of America is one of the big institutions behind the ESG
movement. Some of its affiliates are introducing individual ESG scores
for their customers. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Small
banks may also have challenges because around 80% of commercial real
estate loans come from small banks. In addition to being wrecked by
higher interest rates, commercial real estate is struggling because
people must return to the office. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-return-to-office-rate-rises-above-50-for-first-time-since-pandemic-began-11675285071" target="_blank"><u>50% of office spaces</u></a>
in the US are empty. This means that small banks are at a higher risk
of sitting on larger unrealized losses, which is consistent with the
findings of the study. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">If
that weren't bad enough, these losses would likely increase as time
passes, even if interest rates start coming down because work from home
is probably here to stay. Even if uninsured depositors are less likely
to withdraw from small banks due to the purpose of these deposits, just a
small number of withdrawals could therefore cause severe issues for
small banks. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The
findings of the study suggest this risk is already there. All it takes
is 10% of uninsured deposits to move. In sum, small and big banks come
with their own risks, and it's up to you to decide which risks you'd
instead take. Diversifying your deposits is an option, but the fact that
every bank operates using this fractional reserve model means your
money will never be genuinely risk-free in their coffers. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Cryptocurrency To The Rescue</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>This is where cryptocurrency comes in</strong>.
Cryptocurrencies ostensibly have only one risk: their current price
volatility. There are, of course, risks associated with things like
improperly written code, but the largest and most established
cryptocurrencies have been battle tested every day for over a decade. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Aside
from that, cryptocurrencies are one of the best hedges against the
banking system. When you hold a cryptocurrency, there is no counterparty
risk. That crypto is genuinely yours, and there isn't some greedy
banker going and investing your crypto into a basket of risky,
commercial real estate loans behind your back. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This
characteristic alone makes cryptocurrency valuable. Also,
cryptocurrency lets you send a transaction to whoever you want, whenever
you want, and for however much you want. This is the true definition of
financial freedom, and its importance was fully displayed when Nasdaq <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-bank-shares-that-halted-trading-panic-spreads-1787426" target="_blank"><u>halted the trading</u></a> of bank stocks during the recent banking crisis. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Nobody
can turn off the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange and prevent
people from trading. You will always be able to trade. Take a second to
consider; that blocking transactions, halting trading, and freezing
assets will only become more common as <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thecriticaldistinctionsofcbdcsandcryptocurrenciesyouneedtoknow" target="_blank"><u>CBDCs are rolled out</u></a>.
This will make the financial freedom aspect of cryptocurrency ever more
critical, along with the decentralization that underlies it. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Without
decentralization, crypto's value proposition quickly disappears. That's
why instead of wasting time assessing the unrealized losses and
uninsured deposits of banks, you should learn about what makes a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cryptocurrencydecentralizationwhatdoesittaketobecomefullydecentralizedwhichcryptoprojectsmeetthecriteria" target="_blank"><u>cryptocurrency genuinely decentralized</u></a>.
After all, the days of commercial banks are numbered; the thousands of
existing banks will inevitably consolidate into a handful of mega banks,
and governments will nationalize these mega banks. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Financial
freedom in the traditional financial system will be gone when that
happens. At the same time, economic freedom in the crypto ecosystem will
only continue to grow. By the grace of God, it will rise to the point
that it's capable of accommodating the billions of people who will pull
out of the traditional financial system as it becomes ever more
centralized and ideological. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Both
monetary mechanisms will take years to play out, but it's already clear
that the global financial system is splitting into two structures: free
and sovereign and one that is not. You now have the
once-in-a-millennium opportunity to choose which system to participate
in. It’s critical to make that decision before it's made for you. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/HOW.TO.INCREASE.SPHERE.OF.INFLUENCE.IN.MARKETHIVE/HOW-TO-INCREASE-YOUR-SPHERE-OF-INFLUENCE-IN-MARKETHIVE-copy.png" style="height:361px; width:700px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>We have a lot to be grateful for within Markethive.</strong> It’s like stepping out of the rat race into an oasis of humanity at its best. As an inbound marketing, business-based platform with an inherent entrepreneurial spirit, we have all the tools to get our message out to the whole world. We have a social media interface with a collaborative ethos rarely experienced on legacy social media. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">We are starting to see new integrations in the blogging section in preparation for the customized, more intuitive interface and<strong> <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivethefutureofallmedia" target="_blank">dashboard of Markethive</a></strong> and, of course, the <strong><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thecentralhubofthemarkethiveeconomythewallet" target="_blank">Markethive Wallet</a> </strong>that will facilitate the Merchant accounts for members as well as personal transactions, the Vault, etc. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/HOW.TO.INCREASE.SPHERE.OF.INFLUENCE.IN.MARKETHIVE/Updates-Blog-Interface.png" style="height:463px; width:600px" /><br />
<em>Image: Updated feature above all Blogs</em></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">As shown above, the new-look Blogcasting Hub is located at the top of all blogs in the system. Blogcasting is a term introduced by Markethive and is an enhanced broadcasting system. In the traditional broadcasting sense, only the people who physically subscribe to your blog or newsletter are usually notified of your updates via email. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">With this blogcasting system, your social networks are informed of your blog as and when you publish them. What this means is the potential reach is into the millions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">For example, If I subscribe to your blog and have 20,000 followers across all my social media accounts, and you have 15,000 subscribers each with a similar following, your blogs have now been potentially seen by around 300,000,000 people. These are people who are not directly subscribed to you. It is known as a “reach” and is extremely powerful. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:20px">WP Plugin Article Import</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>When you use the Markethive blogging system,</strong> your content can easily be distributed to your and others’ WordPress sites who subscribe to you. WordPress has been around for years and is a renowned world leader in Blogging platforms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">It will be integrated into the new Page Making system where all member accounts will receive a WordPress site and be assigned an email for both POP email and default website with an option to assign it to your WordPress or Markethive capture page. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Markethive’s “Blogcasting” is an excellent solution to the long-term problem of getting the word out legitimately to people who want to hear what you have to say. Blogging is the purest essence of inbound marketing and the core of what Markethive does. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/HOW.TO.INCREASE.SPHERE.OF.INFLUENCE.IN.MARKETHIVE/content.marketing.png" style="height:551px; width:550px" /><br />

<h2><span style="font-size:20px"><strong>Blog System In Your Storefront Niche</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Markethive has successfully combined all the technical and tactical aspects </strong>and requirements into one system and overcame the obstacles to make blogging a group process. You can mentor your new associates or offer your customers ongoing support through your Storefront Group. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Connecting with them through writing blogs and articles consistently with exciting and relevant information will create an authoritative presence, perhaps meet a customer’s need and provide a solution that maybe can’t be recognized in a short advertising message. It can start conversations and is an excellent way to be invited into the consumers’ hearts and minds. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">It helps us be more human in everything we do and in every engagement. It’s about building relationships and connecting at an authentic and genuine level. The most human company wins, and the technology should be used to help your company be more compassionate, receptive, fascinating, and valuable.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Markethive’s Inbound Marketing platform delivers a blogging system built for the beginner, sophisticated for the intermediate, and a compelling platform that advanced professional bloggers will appreciate. The system is designed to develop a complete blog system effortlessly, and easily set up to be the engine that powers your WordPress blogs. </span></p>

<em>Image: Drop-down menus on Blogging Platform</em></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:20px">Blog Subscribe </span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>The Blog Subscribe feature is where other Markethive members</strong> can subscribe to your blog by checking the status of any medium displayed in the drop-down menu. Other sites are to be added, subject to alignment and collaboration of the parties in question going forward. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">When they subscribe (and the potential is 1000s of them), your blog posts are automatically posted to their newsfeeds, email, and any social media accounts they’ve checked. This provides a downstream of subscribers, fellow entrepreneurs at Markethive, who expose their connections to your message; they lift you, increase your popularity, and build more outstanding branding. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">When your blogs are shared and consequently clicked on, they move up in the search rankings. Your readers will want others to know if you're providing quality content. Of course, the only way to make sure your blogs contribute to your website’s popularity is to create unique content, provide answers for visitors, and then share your blogs wherever you can. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Through the News Feed and Blogcasting Hub, you can promote any products and services globally with a reach into the billions. That is because when people do searches, if the content on your blog is what they are after, they will find you. A very high percentage of the traffic is non-member-related, so many of the people you address on your blog do not even belong to the site.</span></p>
<h2> <br />
<span style="font-size:20px"><strong>Blog Swipe</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>The Markethive blog system allows you to make your content available</strong> to all members when set on Public upon publishing your blog. The other options are privacy, comments, and swiping are to your friends only, or just to members of all the Groups you belong to, or a selection of them or just one (your choice). You can also set it to Private so no one can swipe your blog.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:16px">Why? There are many sound reasons for this.</span></em></p>
<h3><span style="font-size:18px"><strong>Curating: </strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a specific theme. The work involves sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information. Markethive offers features to the groups you create and is the perfect blogging platform. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">The option allows others to reproduce your work with your permission and automatically take an exact copy of your blog to their Markethive Blog System. WordPress plugin enables your blog articles massive syndication to other Markethive members' WordPress blogs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Simply set up a Curating Group for yourself and Swipe the blogs in Markethive as a collection of content you may want to use in your publications. The new Markethive interface will house a newsfeed specifically for curation to intuitively organize and further our reach. </span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="font-size:18px">Proofing: </span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">You may have a group of members who want to edit, add, or rewrite your content. It is an active phenomenon in Markethive, offering mentorship to people keen to learn the art of writing and blogging, advancing their presence. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">You may get critiques when you produce a blog, so I just offer them to swipe it, edit and change it as they see fit, and then let me know. If I like it, I swipe it back. It’s all about perpetual learning and the ability to express yourself within a collaborative culture. <br />
<br />
The ability to swipe a Blog makes it so much easier to get started, and new bloggers go from poorly and rarely produced blog posts to 1 or 2 dynamic and excellent on-topic blog posts daily. In other words, thanks to the collaborative culture and mentorship, Markethive is now churning out a new breed of wonderful and dynamic bloggers. </span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="font-size:18px">Cocktails: </span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">A Markethive feature allows you to create unlimited groups, each with a different cocktail of content curated, aggregated, or from multiple group memberships. So the options to produce unique content for unlimited WordPress blogs controlled from within Markethive are unlimited.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/HOW.TO.INCREASE.SPHERE.OF.INFLUENCE.IN.MARKETHIVE/BLOG.CASTING.png" style="height:398px; width:600px" /><br />

<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:20px">Ecosystem For Entrepreneurs With Respect</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Markethive is blockchain-driven, being integrated on the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/couldsolanabetheanswertodecentralizedsocialmarketnetworks" target="_blank">Solana Blockchain</a>.</strong> The Markethive coin is mined when members utilizing the platform as the system rewards you with the Hivecoin Token for using the platform as intended. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">It’s important to note that excessive non-productive actions and engagement for the sole purpose of accumulating the token are not rewarded. Measures have been put in place for fraudulent behavior, which is considered toxic for the professionalism of the platform. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">With all members' creative content in mind, distributed, peer-to-peer data, communications, broadcasting, and marketing foundation are advantages. With distributed decentralized cloud servers, the likelihood of a data crash, central server failure, hacking, and political unrest is heavily mitigated, delivering an extremely stable platform for each subscriber on their merit.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:20px">Another Advantage Coming</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Blogcasting is a Blogging Broadcasting System</strong> introduced and enhanced by Markethive. When you use the Markethive blogging system, your content can easily be distributed to your and other WordPress sites. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Markethive has also built into the system the ability to register your other social network accounts, with more being added as we move forward with the new interface. You can subscribe to your blogs and others, therefore literally distributing content to a vast reach into the billions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">The added advantage is the Bounty Program that is currently in the works. This means you will be rewarded for registering all your separate accounts through the Markethive platform. Subscribing and following the many Markethive social media accounts will qualify you for the Infinity Bounty Program. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>CEO of Markethive Thomas Prendergast</strong> explains the workings and benefits of the upcoming Infinity Bounty Program. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/MARKETHIVE.FUTURE.OF.ALL.MEDIA/MARKETHIVE-FUTURE-OF-ALL-MEDIA-copy.png" style="height: 361px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Innovations that will change the way we work and interact online. </span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The Markethive Social Market Broadcasting Network</b> becomes more prominent daily as the blockchain-driven ecosystem for entrepreneurs with a non-adversarial, bi-partisan free speech ethic and the collaborative culture we rarely see on social media platforms today. Even the newer acclaimed, free speech platforms are partisan to the left or right and deal with deplatforming and boycotts from payment providers.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It’s widely notorious that the actions of the tech giants have divided nations and are the source of countless societal harms, including rampant censorship, promoting violent extremism, spreading false information, and unfairly stamping out its competition. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Instead of improving the user experience to one that users would welcome, legacy big tech is somewhat distracted by its self-induced problems. It’s now under scrutiny by government policymakers with the overall consensus that something should be done to reign in the centralized power or structurally break up the technocracy. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Facebook is focused on <a href="https://about.fb.com/regulations/" target="_blank"><b>updating the internet</b></a> with new regulations to appease critics and leverage its <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/05/facebook-oversight-board-donald-trump" target="_blank"><b>Oversight Board</b></a> to circumvent this. At the same time, <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-to-fix-big-tech-without-big-government/" target="_blank">Twitter grapples</a> with the idea of integrating a more decentralized approach to the platform, explicitly giving users an algorithmic choice by opening up its news feed to third-party algorithms selected by its users. This could undoubtedly customize the user experience but still be under a central authority. </span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b>Markethive Goes Next Level</b></span></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Known for its <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/evolvingtechnologychallengesthestatusquo" target="_blank">evolutionary and innovative</a> ethos, </b>Markethive continues to expand its decentralized “all-in-one” platform with the development of a unique news feed interface that completely embodies the user experience (UX) in the framework of “don’t make me think.” A concept brought to light by author Steve Krug, a usability expert, cites that usability is fundamentally about human psychology. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The book “<a href="https://sensible.com/dont-make-me-think/" target="_blank"><b>Don’t Make Me Think</b></a>” was first written in 2000 and revised in 2013. Since the turn of the century, technology has changed rapidly, but the principles are the same as before. Something is only usable if an average person can figure out how to use it to achieve an outcome. Krug breaks this down into three laws:</span></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Key Quote</span></b></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“Usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not about technology.</span></span></b></i></p>
<p><br />
<i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">...while technology often changes quickly, people change very slowly.”</span></span></b></i></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Once it is understood how the human brain works, these same insights can continue to be applied even as technology and landscapes evolve. So usability is not just about technology; it’s about understanding how people think and behave to build better things, giving the user a more seamless and more straightforward experience when navigating.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Unlike the social media giants, which only have one primary news feed algorithmically set by the central authorities, Markethive is integrating four news feeds to accommodate the multi-functional platform within the Markethive ecosystem. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The individual feeds are General, Video, Blogging, and Content Curation, and they are all accessible from the main page and can be algorithmically set by the individual user. The scope that Markethive has is enormous as it integrates all the vertical systems of the other platforms under one roof. </span></span></p>

<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>There is nothing out there like Markethive. </b>We are an Inbound Marketing (automated marketing platform) like Marketo, Paragon, and even the wannabee MLM Onpassive platform. We are like Youtube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc., but will be superior to these legacy Web 2 media when we release all the aspects and layout of Markethive 2.0. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We have a dynamic social media interface and growing community with a strong collaborative ethos, with SaaS and broadcasting capabilities already operational. We are not waiting for the launch to access the services; they are already there for you to use to help you facilitate your business and increase your reach and following. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive is enhancing and bringing the platform into the future internet with our new technology and interfaces, but still in keeping with the human touch.

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Technology has advanced with Blockchain, and Crypto is becoming ubiquitous, giving rise to the decentralized, privacy, and autonomy components of social media. Something that the established dinosaurs would find near impossible to integrate at its highest level. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive has not only enjoyed longevity, but it can also <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/firstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmediagiantblockchaincryptoproject" target="_blank"><b>integrate cutting-edge and unique systems</b></a>. It is next-level, delivering every function and aspect available, fitting for the entrepreneur, business, and corporation. A clean design, not cluttered, intuitive for easy navigation, and simple to carry out tasks for all users on every level is crucial for website stickiness and the overall success of our entrepreneurial users.<br />
<br />
<b> As quoted by CEO and Founder of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast,</b></span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“We are making major changes right now to the entire layout and aspects of the system. It’s a new look, with better navigation and an improved alert system. We are rebuilding the page-making system to be intuitive, inspired by <a href="https://www.leadpages.com/" target="_blank">Leadpages</a>, all in preparation for the Wallet. </span></span></b></i></p>
<p><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">All accounts (free and paid) will receive an email and a WordPress site integrated into the Markethive Page Making system. The domain for this will be hive.garden and all members will be assigned their username@hive.garden for POP email and username.hive.garden for your default website where you will have the option to have WordPress or a Markethive capture page assigned.</span></span></b></i></p>
<p><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Understand this major uplifting has been in the works for several months, and we are close to its completion. We have already launched <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivebuildingapowerfulepicecosystem" target="_blank">The Boost and The Wheel Of Fortune</a>. The Premium Upgrade will launch once the wallet is integrated and the ability to upgrade to Entrepreneur One will not be available.”</span></span></b></i></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br />
</p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The current Entrepreneur One members</b> will continue to enjoy the benefits of the upgrade, including receiving a 1/10th ILP for every year their subscription is active for up to ten years.

<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><b><span style="font-size: 18px;">The New Main Page Interface Explained</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The following images are a basic mockup or draft,</b> subject to enhancements, to give you an idea of how the new main page will look with the various news feeds and menus. It is definitely something to look forward to upon its integration. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/MARKETHIVE.FUTURE.OF.ALL.MEDIA/NEWS-FEED-INTRO-ALERTS-CONTROL.png" style="height: 600px; width: 600px;" /><br />
<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>Example of Main Page Interface </i></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The format is horizontal, not vertical,</b> like many other websites making it more readable and less time-consuming in terms of navigation. The vertical side menus will be removed, along with the busy text in the blue bar. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">At the top of the main page are the Super Banners. This is prime real estate and specifically for Markethive, the company. Anyone else inside or outside of Markethive wanting to place a banner there will pay top dollar. The real estate below the blue bar is for the markethive community and placement of their banners.</span></span></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Multiple Pulldown Menus </span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Multiple pull-down menus will be replacing</b> the side menus on the main news feed page and the profile page. These are now accessible on one page on the blue bar under Settings, Shopping Cart, and the Notifications bell icon also named Alerts Control. This allows you to configure the blue alerts bar and provides a click menu navigation. In other words, you choose what icons you would like to display. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">All the settings displayed that could only be accessed on the left of the profile page are now accessed on the main interface, including general profile page settings, payments, Vault, ILP purchases, login account, social accounts, and hive ranking. This makes it a lot easier to navigate and is much more intuitive. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">There is also a pull-down menu under Shopping Cart that displays the status of your cart (whether it’s empty or has items pending in it). </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The shopping cart menu takes you to the Markethive store and the Advertising services strictly for the Markethive Press Release program, the Boost, social network broadcasting, digital banner advertising, and video advertising. You will find these services in this pull-down menu as they are introduced. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A series of upgrades will also be displayed under the shopping cart. Currently, there is the E1 upgrade and upcoming Premium Upgrade to be integrated upon the launch of our internal wallet. There will ultimately be multiple levels of premium upgrades which will all be located in the shopping cart pull-down menu. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For the purpose of this article, the image below displays all pull-down menus opened and can be accessed by clicking on their respective icon. </span></span></p>

<b><span style="font-size: 18px;">Combined News Feed - The New Innovation</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Now for the pièce de résistance and Markethive’s claim to fame.</b> The combined news feed interface is a first in the social media environment. It includes the four primary feeds being the general Newsfeed, Blog, Video, and Curation feed. </span></span></p>
<p><i><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So what’s the big deal about a news feed?</span></span></i></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The news feed is the heart and lungs of Markethive, and everything around it is the bones or structure of Markethive. It all starts at the center, being the newsfeeds and works outwards and is the dashboard or control center, where every aspect of Markethive is easily accessible. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The combined pulldown menu also includes the Groups feed, Campaigns, Games, Store, and Email feed, which you can set algorithmically. You choose what and who you want to see in your combined news feed. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">You can choose only to see what you’ve posted, select by geo-location, friends, Tube feed, Blog feed, Group feed, etc. You can access these configuration tools in the tray just above the HTML editor, housing the stats tools, tracking devices, posting tools, sorting and filtering tools, editing, and upload tools. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2022/MARKETHIVE.FUTURE.OF.ALL.MEDIA/COMBINED-NEWS-FEED-UPDATED.png" style="height: 600px; width: 600px;" /><br />

<b>Upgraded associates will be able to post in a news feed</b> with the ability to stylize text (<b>bold</b>, <i>italics</i>, </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">text size</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">,</span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> font type</span></span><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">, <span style="color: #2980b9;"><u><b>hyperlinks</b></u></span>) add embed videos and images, similar to the current blog editor. This will make your posts more dynamic and exciting.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Whatever task you do, you will access it from the combined feed pull-down menu. For example, if you want to upload a video in the Tube Feed, it will open up the tool page for you to upload it. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">You do not leave the main page for any task you perform. This is where you access all your interfaces. E.g., The video upload interface, the blogging platform, the curation control panel, etc. You will be able to add, edit and monitor everything you do right from the main page. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Whatever you choose to see in your combined feed will be displayed: Videos from the Tube Feed, Blogs, Capture Pages, Groups feed, General postings, everything will be displayed on the page. <br />

<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Beauty Of Markethive </span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Everything is at your fingertips on this one page</b>, making it very intuitive and mobile-friendly. The dynamics will change completely, and you won’t have to navigate individual pages within the Markethive system. All configuration, filtering, and searching are done from the combined news feed interface. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The new interface will be instantaneous and straightforward to post any content remotely, whether blogs, videos, or general newsfeed posts. Markethive will be infiltrating every corner of the internet universe and become a household name. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The whole interface is streamlined and purposely created horizontally with minimal to no advertising, so it is not overwhelming for the average and new user. So many websites, blogs, and digital media articles are cluttered with vertical side columns and advertisements, making it annoying and virtually impossible to read or comment on the site. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://markethive.com/marcoferrari" target="_blank"><b>Markethive</b></a> has always been a pioneer and ahead of the curve, initiating a social network before social media became a thing, <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/historyandtimelineofdigitalmarketingonline" target="_blank"><b>starting with</b> <b>Veretekk</b></a> in the nineties.

there have been heated debates of late with some claiming it will still

the tech is still relatively centralized, slow, and unable to reach mass
adoption. </span></span></p>

<h2><br />
<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Cryptocurrencies have many use cases. </strong>Some act as a store of value, others power blockchain to make it possible to create trustless digital contracts and permissionless decentralized applications.

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Each of these use cases requires a particular set of blockchain attributes and economic incentives.

This next-generation social market media is poised in the wings, and when the time is right, it will emerge as a shining light to lift people up and bring financial sovereignty and hope in this gloomy and uncertain world. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The video platform, conference rooms, the unique four specific news feeds currently in development, and many other projects and incentives add to the credibility and need for an ecosystem in the social media and digital marketing space. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">In 2018, Markethive released its coin, with the ticker symbol of MHV that enabled the distribution of the coin to the members within the Markethive system by way of infinity airdrops and subsequently a micropayment faucet. The coin is currently in the process of being labeled with a new name, HiveCoin, with the ticker symbol HVC. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Now in the final stages of BETA, Markethive will officially launch with the release of its first wallet developed from scratch to service the community’s needs. This is Markethive’s internal web wallet, with the end goal of a wallet app accessible from your smartphone (external wallet) that includes built-in messaging, news feeds, e-commerce, conference rooms, etc., with the highest security measures. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Meanwhile, the growing user base is accumulating their native coins, Hivecoin (HVC), in anticipation of the release when they transact using HVC within the Markethive system and externally.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/FIRST.IN.DECENTRALIZED.SOCIAL.MARKET.MEDIA/HVC-ON-ETH-BLOCKCHAIN-INFOGRAPHIC.png" style="height:875px; width:700px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Sets The Markethive Coin (HVC) Apart?</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive platform enables</strong> the users to earn HiveCoin cryptocurrency with everything they do and are paid for their loyalty. <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveupdatesandintegrations" target="_blank"><strong>The Vault</strong></a> is an innovative concept that allows Markethive members to stake their coins, similar to a bank account. The more coins held in your vault, the higher the micropayments received, and then there’s the monthly interest paid to you based on the number of coins in your coin clip.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The company issues these micropayments, incentives, and rewards, not just the users, which is commonplace and the only form of payment in other crypto-based platforms. However, Markethive has a tipping protocol the people can utilize and substitutes the like button. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It isn’t only a social media network or inbound marketing platform; it lends itself to the cottage industry concept allowing members to monetize the various initiatives Markethive is developing, starting the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/bannerimpressionsexchangereview" target="_blank"><strong>Banner Impressions Exchange</strong></a>. It’s also where entrepreneurs can facilitate and promote their personal businesses to a built-in audience as well as a springboard to the far regions of the internet. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">In Markethive’s all-encompassing ecosystem, the objective of the Markethive coin (HVC) is to be utilized as a form of payment rather than just selling it (pump and dump scenario). This gives a purpose and actual use case for HVC, equalizing the velocity and increasing coin value. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Bitcoin has established itself as a store of value that affects the value of most other altcoins, albeit positively or negatively at any given time. However, if a coin or project’s use case and utility are credible, it can result in a parabolic shift, increasing in price, without riding on Bitcoin’s coattails. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive Blockchain </strong></span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Markethive is currently situated</strong> on the Ethereum Blockchain while in BETA. However, Markethive aims to utilize a 3rd generation Blockchain developed by <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanosolvingproblemsthethreeelements" target="_blank"><strong>Cardano</strong></a> and<a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/elrondtakingblockchainandcryptotothenextlevel" target="_blank"><strong> Elrond</strong></a>. These Blockchain protocols have the advanced capabilities to produce the distributed database system Markethive requires. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">This ensures that all data that the extensive user base inherently creates in a social media environment is decentralized and safely integrated and stored on the blockchain, including all forms of content, videos, images, etc.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It is considered a mammoth task for a blockchain and not conducive for an established social media platform like Facebook with its trillions upon trillions of data already in its system. Markethive conceived and initiated this blockchain protocol, making it easier to integrate. We just had to wait for the right technology to surface. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Thanks to <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/evolvingtechnologychallengesthestatusquo" target="_blank"><strong>technology evolution</strong></a>, the Markethive social market network’s ability to build a massive database management blockchain can only be done on a 3rd generation blockchain platform like Cardano or Elrond. The Markethive blockchain will be forked off the 3rd generation blockchain, with HVC being a native token, a fungible multi-asset token. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Native tokens represent value and act as an accounting unit, which can be used for payments and transactions and sent to an exchange address. Native means that these tokens are supported by the main chain’s accounting ledger without the need for additional smart contracts, as the ledger features built-in support to track ownership and transfer of more than one type of asset.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Ethereum blockchain issues tokens through a custom coded smart contract, which issues a non-native token. This token won't have all the advantages of Ethereum, and you have to pay for smart contract execution every time you move your token. This is why people complain about Ethereum fees being so high. It's not very efficient, leaving the door open for human error when coding smart contracts.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The low cost in transactional fees and the increased throughput into the thousands make the Cardano and Elrond blockchains a favorite in future generation blockchains. A sustainable, scalable financial operating system is becoming a reality. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">HiveCoin And ILP Smart Contracts - The Markethive Ecosystem</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/theincentivizedloanprogramilpapowerfulwaytospreadthewealth" target="_blank">ILP smart contracts</a></strong> that the entrepreneurs have recognized as valuable and acquired will work seamlessly in the background on the Markethive blockchain forked off a 3rd generation blockchain. At the same time, the HiveCoin (HVC) will be used as a medium of exchange and will continually be circulating, earned, and accumulated by users within the Markethive economy.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It allows us to be completely decentralized financially with complete autonomy and protection of our intellectual property, ascertaining a viable and comprehensive ecosystem. This bodes exceptionally well for the Markethive ecosystem and benefits all participating in it. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Essentially the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thehumanisticvaluesofcardanoandmarkethiveadivinesynergism" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive ecosystem</strong></a> will have its own financial operating system within the new global financial operating system or future of internet money envisioned by the architects of the emerging technology, strides ahead of the initial technology of Bitcoin and Ethereum. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Markethive’s vision is a fully decentralized social network inbound marketing platform</strong> integrated and operated on a massively distributed database system, the internal giant blockchain, controlled by a smaller external blockchain Markethive’s Dapp wallet will utilize. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">This is a very advanced technology Markethive is integrating at which no other platform is doing or will attempt to do. It is a vast undertaking and needs to be done right so security is not compromised, on all levels, hence the methodical and time-consuming approach. Markethive is incomparable to any other media platform and, although touted it that couldn’t be done, is 90% done. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It’s about looking after the community, the products and projects, the use, and the utility. Getting it right, being clever and evolutionary will pay huge dividends in the mid to long term for everyone in the ecosystem. Markethive is always focused on where we are going and why we are going there in the mission, giving economic sovereignty and identity to all, especially those that don’t have it. </span></span></p>

<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Markethive started out as a sophisticated inbound marketing platform</b> with a social media interface harvesting a robust collaborative culture. The entrepreneurs of the Markethive community have been using the free system and tools, promoting their businesses, and branding themselves across the internet with much success. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With the advent of Blockchain technologies, Markethive set its path on an unprecedented journey of combining marketing, social media, digital broadcasting, e-commerce, gamification, etc., with cryptocurrency and decentralized Blockchain, distributed ledger technology. An ongoing project of massive proportion to deliver sovereignty, financial and self, and freedom of self-expression for all equitably, without bias. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive is a Vision from the Divine Source. Its mission is to fill the vacuum for the world's entrepreneurs - To empower and enrich the lives of every individual on every level across the globe. And the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/whowilltriumphinthesedarktimesmarkethiveanendtimesproject" target="_blank"><b>timing couldn’t be more perfect</b></a> as we witness the soul-less destruction, tyranny, and surveillance of humanity gift wrapped and delivered to us as protection and for our own good. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>We are building an ecosystem,</b> and there’s an absolute need and use for our coin (HVC) for everything we do; therefore, the potential for the open market to accept and embrace HiveCoin is very promising.

<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Wallet In Final Draft Mode</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The Markethive web wallet is in the final draft mode and has various functionalities. It’s currently being built on Ethereum and is a mechanism that has been developed from scratch to service the needs of the community. This is Markethive’s internal wallet, with the end goal of a wallet app accessible from your smartphone (external wallet) that includes built-in messaging, news feeds, e-commerce, and security measures. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Notably, active Entrepreneur One members will be the first phase of receiving the initial internal wallet upon release. It’s also important to note that the Entrepreneur One membership will no longer be available when the wallet launches. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">If you're considering taking advantage of all the benefits of the E1 upgrade for $100 monthly, which includes 1/10 of an ILP per year, go to the Membership Upgrade tab on your home page.

<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Vault Has A New Home</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Apart from documenting your reports,</b> history, balances, and transfers of HVC, ETH, and other top altcoins, the Markethive wallet will display a live chart tracking the progress of the HVC value in real-time. Your HiveCoin balance total is shown, including the HVC you have staked, which means what you have deposited into the Vault and rewards you with additional HVC also displayed, thereby increasing your portfolio. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The wallet also houses the Vault, which displays your Markethive Credits, subscriptions, and statements. The Vault, already in operation within the Markethive back office, is where you currently purchase Markethive Credits to pay for your subscriptions and various services; however, all the functions of the Vault are being upgraded and are accessible in the wallet, so it’s fundamentally a <b>comprehensive economic center for the Hive</b>.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>The image below is a mock-up of the internal wallet to get an idea of what’s coming. </i><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVE.UPDATES.INTEGRATIONS/Screenshot-2021-11-16-085339.jpg" style="height: 448px; width: 700px;" /></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Are Markethive Credits?</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>A Markethive Credit is similar to a <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stablecoin.asp" target="_blank">stable coin</a></b> and is what generates all of the activity. One Markethive Credit = $1usd. These credits can be purchased through the Vault section of the wallet via Bitcoin, Ethereum, credit/debit card, or Paypal. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">You can pay for anything through the Vault such as the Banner Advertising Impressions, the Boost, Press Releases, and Sponsored Articles, gaming activities, and more as these services are implemented and introduced into the Markethive system.<br />
Your Vault credit can be used to buy ILPs and future upgrades that will unlock extra services and incentives. These will follow once the wallet is launched. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Better Than A Bank Account</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Utilizing the Vault by having an ongoing threshold</b> balance of Markethive Credits can be very lucrative. In other words, keeping a certain amount in the Vault above your monthly commitments (subscriptions) that are debited will award you compound interest paid in HVC of up to 5% and deposited directly into your CoinClip or Wallet. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">How Is the Interest Calculated?</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Markethive releases coins into the market,</b> in contrast to mining, via Airdrops, Bounties, Faucets, or Micropayments. Keeping a designated threshold of Markethive credits in the Vault is a form of staking. Staking generates interest, meaning you are paid additional HVC based on how many coins you hold and your other activities in Markethive.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Your Hive Rank score adds to your daily interest and can be a significant multiplier. Your CoinClip Score is determined by the spread of earned and current balance of HVC. Essentially, if you send coins out of the system, you lower your score for staking. If you bring coins into the system, you increase your score. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">ILPs count as coins, so buying ILPs can significantly increase your staking rewards. Upgrading your membership adds to your staking interest, and logging in every day is rewarded with an additional interest increase.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Transferring any chosen amount of HiveCoin, HVC, from your wallet into the Vault for a set time period (e.g., 30 days) will earn interest also. Essentially, you are staking those delegated coins, and the higher the balance of staked coins, the more interest earned. You can choose to keep it in the vault and accumulate or transfer it to your wallet for transactional purposes. </span></span></p>

<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>Image source: <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/financials/cryptocurrency-stocks/what-is-staking/" target="_blank">Fool.com What Is Crypto Staking</a></i></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Is Staking In The World Of Crypto? </span></b></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Staking is a way to put your crypto to work and earn rewards on it. Staking in general crypto terms is how many of the cryptocurrency blockchain projects verify their transactions, allowing participants to earn rewards on their holdings. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Staking simply stands for holding a delegated amount of cryptocurrency in your wallet for a fixed period and is integral to the Proof of Stake protocol and a way of supporting the blockchain of a cryptocurrency in which you’ve invested.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Staking is available with cryptocurrencies that use the proof-of-stake model to process payments. This is a more energy-efficient alternative to the proof-of-work model, which requires mining devices that use computing power to solve mathematical equations.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVE.UPDATES.INTEGRATIONS/STAKING-THE-MARKETHIVE-WAY-copy.png" style="height: 310px; width: 600px;" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Staking - The Markethive Way</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>In the case of the Markethive,</b> the Vault section of your wallet is where you can stake the coins you hold and is an easy and passive way to earn income. The rewards and interest that one gains from staking vary depending on the length of the time, the amount of HVC staked, and Hive Ranking. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Because Markethive includes the Markethive Credit threshold balance in its staking protocol, it would be advantageous for you to keep it above the threshold along with an increasing Hive Rank enabling you to earn the maximum amount of interest. The Vault will notify you if you go below the threshold. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">By buying or earning HiveCoin and banking it in the Vault, you are essentially burning the coin, and it is a good thing, as <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/howdoesmarkethivecreatetokenvelocityupdated" target="_blank"><b>explained in this article</b></a> on how Markethive creates coin velocity. There are many ways to <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/strategiesusedtoincreasecryptomarketvalueandthentheresthemarkethiveway" target="_blank"><b>burn crypto coins</b></a> which is advantageous to the wealth and health of the currency. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In this instance, to burn the HiveCoin means pulling the coin out of the marketplace and staking or holding it in the Vault, so there’s less supply. The less supply, the greater the demand, which in turn increases the price of the coin. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So there are three types of currency in Markethive. The HiveCoin, (HVC), the ILP Tokens, and the Markethive Credits. And remember that the Markethive Credits are always equivalent to $1usd of which you buy products and services. Keep in mind the more you use the vault, the higher the interest rate. The more you use the system, the higher the interest rate. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The four facets scored for stake interest are Hive Rank, Coin Clip score, Loyalty Level, and Attendance Bonus as illustrated in the schematic below. Also, total interest is paid on both your vault balance and coin clip, or wallet balance, and the interest on this combined total is paid at the end of each month. </span></span></p>

CEO of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast, reported in a recent email to all in the Markethive community, </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b><i><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“The wallet is in its final draft and design. How long this can take is still to be determined, but we already have a working wallet. When the interface is completed, then we will announce the wallet to be released. I don’t easily get excited, but this has me rather anxious as this is a major milestone of the many milestones we have reached.”</span></span></i></b></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Meanwhile, Two New Systems Implemented </span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Two other vital upgrades were accomplished this week: </span></span></p>
<ol>
<li><b><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">New registration and login system. </span></span></b></li>
<li><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive support ticket portal. </span></span></b></li>
</ol>
<p><br />
<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><b>Markethive’s registration and login system</b></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> is now owned and operated by Markethive. This is important as we now do not have to rely or depend upon 3rd parties such as Oneall Login API Services. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">You choose which email networks you would like to log in with, and the ability to log in with your domain email will be integrated. When logging in with the new system for the first time, enter your email or username. The system will recognize you have an account and send an email with a link to log in initially.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Once logged in, go to Login Networks in your settings and add the other networks displayed. There will be more added as we move forward. </span></span></p>
<p><br />

<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The social networks you have linked to your Markethive account</b> are now for remote broadcasting only with the added advantage of the bounty program that is in the works. This means you will be rewarded for registering all your separate accounts through the Markethive platform and by subscribing and following the many Markethive social media accounts will qualify you for the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/socialnetworksetupandregistrationpaysyou" target="_blank"><b>Infinity Bounty Program</b></a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><b>Markethive Ticket Support is now active.</b></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> This system enhances personalization, keeps records and information on all tickets you generate. You can upload documents and prioritize your queries, streamlining the support process. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ticket support can be found at the far right on the blue bar on the Home page. Fine-tuning to this system is still required, so your feedback when using the ticket support will be much appreciated. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Now, our Telegram Support Channel can become a support for the Markethive community. It will be a place where people can ask questions or seek assistance from other Markethive associates about anything they may need help with—Eg., uploading a video, etc. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">These two new implementations make Markethive a more independent force, galvanizing its armor protecting its community from the oligarchs’ control and oppressive antics where many have fallen victim. <a href="https://markethive.com/marcoferrari" target="_blank"><b>Markethive</b></a> <b>- A sanctuary from the world chaos and storm that is brewing with intensity. </b></span></span></p>

What's The Difference?<div id="post-thumb"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/SHITCOINS.vs.CRYPTO.SCAMS/SHITCOINS-CRYPTO-SCAMS-copy.png" style="height:1px; width:1px" /></div>
<h1 style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:28px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Shitcoins vs Crypto Scams. What’s The Difference? </span></span></strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/SHITCOINS.vs.CRYPTO.SCAMS/SHITCOINS-CRYPTO-SCAMS-copy.png" style="height:361px; width:700px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>There are many types of scams</strong> society has fallen victim to that have been around for decades. Charity scams, <a href="https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2004/jan/01/sons-scam/" target="_blank"><strong>insurance scams, et al</strong></a>. are all too common, and they are more rampant than ever now we have the internet. And as technology emerges, anyone can simply create a crypto token which opens a pandora’s box of newly defined crypto chaos. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The cryptocurrency market has exploded since the inception of Bitcoin, with 1000s of alternative coins now listed on various exchanges. Many have earned the respect of the crypto community by applying actual use-cases with developing technologies. While prominent cryptocurrency coins display transparency, genuine utility and serve a purpose for a decentralized application or an associated blockchain, many altcoins hold no real value. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">These coins are referred to as shitcoins and have no discernable purpose, and they are often targeted towards less experienced people in an effort to exploit them. The term shitcoin is commonly used for a copy or clone of another well-known crypto, or it can be a brand new project. It’s very much based on personal opinion. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">But are all shitcoins crypto scams? Not necessarily. There are inconspicuous scams out there orchestrated by greedy evil-doers hiding behind the guise of benevolence and charity and taking advantage of the crypto craze and people’s naivety of the nascent crypto industry. I’ll touch on that later with an example. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Importantly, any crypto with no meaningful purpose and often no genuine demand for the coin, whatever value it may generate depends on pure speculation and is considered a precarious investment. Shitcoins are digital currencies that people believe to be valuable simply because they exist. Centered around hype and shills, they are very prone to pump and dumps and rarely recover. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The crypto projects that rely on paid shills to pump their coin or token should be viewed with immense suspicion. Why should they feel the need to create an artificial perception of demand? Does that mean that there is no genuine organic interest in the project?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>On a side note;</strong> If you’re not familiar with the terminology in this article relating to the crypto industry, <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/breakthecryptolanguagebarriercryptolingodefined" target="_blank">here is a breakdown of the most common crypto lingo</a>.</span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">How Easy Is It To Identify A Shitcoin?</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>It is often easy to identify</strong> a shitcoin because many follow a specific pattern. When a shitcoin is first launched, the token may attract some interest, but its price remains relatively low. The low price attracts newbie investors naively thinking they’ve invested in the “next Bitcoin,” further validated by a high-profile influencer backing it for whatever reason.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">As interest peaks and investors jump in, prices spike quickly. This is almost always followed by the price tanking. The sharp fall in price is caused by investors selling their coins to profit from short-term gains. Usually, these pump and dump schemes are dominated by only a few “insiders” who really know the price dynamics and know when to sell to profit. The process is often associated with shitcoins and can leave many retail investors stuck with worthless tokens.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/SHITCOINS.vs.CRYPTO.SCAMS/CRYPTO-COINS-copy.png" style="height:310px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Is The Most Obvious Sign?</span></span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The most obvious sign of a shitcoin is a lack of a well-defined function. </span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://bitcoin.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Bitcoin</strong></a> was built for a decentralized payment network where financial transactions are secure, trustless, and censorship-resistant. It is now classed as the store of value for cryptocurrencies.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://ethereum.org/en/" target="_blank"><strong>Ether</strong></a>, the coin native to the Ethereum blockchain, is used to validate transactions and secure the network. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://www.binance.com/en/bnb" target="_blank"><strong>Binance Coin</strong></a>, the token native to the Binance Exchange, reduces fees on the Binance platform and powers the associated Binance Chain blockchain.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://cardano.org/" target="_blank"><strong>ADA</strong></a>, the native coin to the Cardano blockchain, is used to further develop applications, Defi, smart contracts, scalability, and interoperability. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://markethive.com/marcoferrari" target="_blank"><strong>Hivecoin</strong></a>, Markethive’s native currency, is used to power a decentralized social media and multi-dimensional marketing platform, sovereign from the social media and tech oligopoly. </span></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Shitcoins do not have such clearly defined purposes.</span></span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Discerning a shitcoin is more straightforward when looking into the background development and associated project (if one exists). </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Is the project a copy of an already-known cryptocurrency platform? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Does the project have an associated whitepaper? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Is the whitepaper copied from a different project? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Does the whitepaper reveal in-depth details on the technical implementation? Or is it just hyped up with promises and emotive images?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Is there a clearly defined and credible road map?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Is it raising money through an ICO based on the promise of a good return but lacking product, demo, or code? </span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">If there are contentious answers to any of these questions, the cryptocurrency could well be a shitcoin. A whitepaper is intended to be the technical details behind a project. It is not supposed to be an easy read. When a whitepaper is overly visual and lacks technical solutions, consider that a red flag. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Numerous examples of projects have developed a cryptocurrency for something that really did not need one at all. Let’s not forget that the future value of a utility token will come from its actual use.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/SHITCOINS.vs.CRYPTO.SCAMS/SHITCOINS-copy.png" style="height:310px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Three Widely Known Shitcoins</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Although subjective,</strong> here are some of the more well-known shitcoins within the cryptocurrency market:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/" target="_blank"><strong>Dogecoin</strong></a> (DOGE). This meme-based cryptocurrency was designed around a comical picture of a Shiba Inu dog called Doge. The coin was initially created as a joke. Much of the coin's popularity has been the result of influencer encouragement and hype.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/shiba-inu" target="_blank"><strong>Shiba Inu</strong></a> (SHIB). Following Dogecoin's success, SHIB was developed as a token simply named after the Shiba Inu dog breed. It serves no purpose and is not associated with any blockchain or decentralized application. The maximum supply of tokens was set at one quadrillion.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/safemoon/" target="_blank"><strong>Safemoon</strong></a> (SAFEMOON). Safemoon is a Ponzi-inspired coin that punishes holders for selling. Holders are charged an additional fee by the network when they sell, which is distributed to other holders. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">As I previously mentioned, it is so easy to generate a token for any reason. <em>This video shows you what to do, or should I say what not to do, for the sake of the future of crypto and for humanity. </em></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The presenter also gives you his take on Safemoon and its ICO, which may be why certain authorities have outlawed ICO’s. Initial Coin Offerings are predominantly unregulated and have been the vehicle for scams and fraud. Consequently, the SEC has deemed them as securities and restricts unaccredited investors from participating. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BGul38vjlGk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Crypto Scams Can Be Difficult To Recognize </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>With technology, many projects</strong> can look legitimate at face value, so it’s easy to fall for their narrative as many unsuspecting people have done only to find they’ve been scammed with no recourse. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Crypto scams have sky-rocketed, and it doesn’t help when popular social media influencers get involved claiming to be ambassadors for the cause. Playing on people’s emotions and goodwill makes the charity sector a sitting duck for crypto scams. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">One such example was the “Save The Kids” project, and unfortunately, many didn’t see the red flags and were fooled into investing their hard-earned money into this scam. There are many scams out there, but this one takes the cake for me. The video below explains it all. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t-W9vw2hpaU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Finally...</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>There is a critical shortage</strong> of quality information about cryptocurrency, with only a handful of proven experts that can explain cryptocurrency and how it genuinely works in simple terms. There are millions of people desperate for more information to benefit from this developing industry which gives the opportunists a platform and immense power to shill and cook up crypto scams that can last for months or years. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Scammers and shills take advantage of this narrow flow of information, purporting to be crypto gurus, and mislead or fool people looking for answers with their narrative, which by enlarge is speculative, even erroneous. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Shitcoins are risky investments that most cryptocurrency enthusiasts should avoid. For investors who love risk and know what they’re doing, shitcoins may present an opportunity to make somewhat large but short-term profits. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">And outright scams? Well, tread very carefully. Do your research before committing. Who is behind the project? Are they credible? Have they been involved in any questionable projects in the past? How long have they been involved in the blockchain space? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">With experience comes knowledge and wisdom. As the saying goes,<span style="color:#e74c3c"> <em><strong>“Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me." </strong></em></span></span></span></p>

<h1 style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:20px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Since DEXs are permissionless, no one checks your identity</span></strong></span></h1>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/DEX.DEFI.NEW.FINANCIAL.SYSTEM/DEX-DEFI-NEW-FINANCIAL-SYSTEM-copy.png" style="height:361px; width:700px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>DeFi (Decentralized Finance) </strong> is a term used to cover various components and activities, including Decentralized crypto Exchanges or DEXs which are at the cutting edge of DEFI. The rapidly evolving market of the DEX allows peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions without the need for an intermediary. </span></span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">DeFi - A New Financial System</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>DeFi is a system by which financial products</strong> become available on a public decentralized blockchain network. That makes them open to anyone to use, rather than going through middlemen like banks, brokerages, and even centralized crypto exchanges.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Unlike the legacy financial institutions and centralized crypto exchanges (CEXs), the KYC/AML (<strong><a href="https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/know-your-customer" target="_blank">Know Your Customer</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/anti-money-laundering" target="_blank">Anti-Money Laundering</a></strong>) protocol. These are usually government-issued ID, Social Security number, or proof of address. They are not necessary with the DeFi protocol and are welcomed by those concerned about their privacy and who cannot access valid documents.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">More specifically, DeFi operates in a decentralized environment on public and permissionless blockchains, making it possible for buyers, sellers, lenders, and borrowers to interact peer to peer and use services encoded into open-source software protocols and smart contracts rather than a company or institution facilitating a transaction.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Historically, intermediaries have been the central hub acting as agents and brokers of trust, providing liquidity and security. Over the last century, the massive failings of this system, resulting in tumbling economies and the onset of a global recession, revealed a major flaw in the architecture. With the emerging technology, we can see a glimpse of a new financial services infrastructure. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Decentralized finance uses technology to disintermediate centralized models and provides financial services on a global scale to anyone regardless of ethnicity, age, or cultural identity. It also gives users more control over their money through personal wallets and trading services that expressly cater to the individual, not institutions. </span></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><em>Source: <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges" target="_blank">https://www.coingecko.com/</a></em></span></span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Is A Centralized Exchange? (CEX) </span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Since the inception of Bitcoin,</strong> coin exchanges were fundamental as the vehicle to connect buyers with sellers. These exchanges are centralized and facilitate every aspect of digital trading. On most CEXs, you must deposit fiat or cryptocurrency into an exchange-held crypto wallet before making trades. In the world of digital assets, this is called on-ramping (as opposed to off-ramping, when you withdraw and convert your crypto to fiat).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Although you can transfer your crypto to an external crypto wallet (non-custodial wallet), many users leave it in their custodial wallet managed by the exchange, so essentially you give up control of your crypto. You don’t own the private keys to your funds, which means that you ask the exchange to sign a transaction on your behalf when you withdraw. You need to trust the exchange with your money. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Notably, in Sept. 2020, centralized exchanges accounted for approximately 95% of the crypto trading volume. CEXs function as trusted intermediaries in trades and often act as <a href="https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/what-is-crypto-custody" target="_blank"><strong>custodians</strong></a> by storing and protecting your <a href="https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/glossary#private-key" target="_blank"><strong>private keys</strong></a>, and therefore your funds. Along with the cost of your independence, centralized exchanges have their challenges. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">They reside in specific geographic locations and are subject to stringent regulations. A recent example of this is Binance, which was <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/109766/uk-fca-bans-crypto-exchange-binance" target="_blank"><strong>banned from undertaking</strong></a> any regulated activity in the UK. Any centralized exchange can place limits and restrictions on its customer’s actions, and some have been the target of malicious attackers, hacks, and fraud. Overall, they are arguably centralized bottlenecks that stand in contrast to cryptocurrency’s open, decentralized ethos.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Centralized entities have dominated the field of crypto exchanges and are now more than ever at the behest of regulatory authorities. You know, the ones we are trying to separate ourselves from. But with the continuous evolution of technologies, decentralized exchanges are emerging as an alternative. </span></span></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Decentralized Exchange Approach (DEX)</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>DEX platforms use a different approach</strong> when facilitating the buying and selling of cryptocurrency. With no intermediary organization to clear transactions, DEXs leverage the functionality of self-executing <a href="https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/crypto-smart-contracts-explained" target="_blank"><strong>smart contracts</strong></a>. Their backend exists on a blockchain, and as DEXs are non-custodial, no entity takes custody of your funds or control of your private keys. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Since DEXs are permissionless, no one checks your identity. All you need is a cryptocurrency wallet. However, some DEXs are partially run by a central authority, so there are some legal requirements that need to be adhered to. In some cases, if the <strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-decentralized-exchanges-dex#toc-off-chain-order-books" target="_blank">order book</a></strong> is centralized, the host must remain compliant.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">DEXs have become more prominent today, with over 85 exchanges listed on Coingecko, offering advantages that impact custody of digital assets, diversity, transactional trust, investor privacy, and trading fees. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Are The Advantages Of A DEX?</span></span></strong></h2>
<h3><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Custody - No counterparty risk</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The primary appeal of decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges is that they don’t hold customers’ funds. Being non-custodial also means you don’t relinquish control of private keys to transact. You have an external wallet that interacts with DEXs instead, where trades self-execute through smart contracts. </span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">This eliminates counterparty risk and breaches like the <a href="https://www.wired.com/2014/03/bitcoin-exchange/" target="_blank"><strong>Mt. Gox hack</strong></a> in 2014 and, more recently, the <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/hack-binance-cryptocurrency-exchange/" target="_blank"><strong>Binance hack</strong></a> that has put users’ funds at risk and exposed sensitive personal information.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size:16px">Diversity</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Currently, there are over 9,000 cryptocurrencies on the market. CEXs choose the cryptocurrencies they list and generally only list those that meet the requirements. These are adequate trading activity, prevalence, and effective security standards to ensure profitability and legal compliance. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Altcoins that aren’t listed on centralized exchanges can still be traded freely on DEXs, where peer-to-peer transactions can occur without high trading volumes. This provides a broader opportunity for engagement in digital assets and enhances financial inclusion.</span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Trustless Transactions </span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">On CEXs, every transaction is overseen and recorded by a central authority, the exchange itself. Through smart contracts, DEXs execute trades and record them to the blockchain, enabling trustless transactions. This means that the system is run autonomously by the blockchain protocol’s underlying technical architecture and consensus mechanism. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Decentralized exchanges are distributed across a vast network of computers and governed by their stakeholders. Anyone can become a stakeholder in a crypto DEX, share in its evolution, and benefit financially from its growth. There are numerous elements foundational to the trustless nature of blockchain networks, including immutability, decentralization, transparency, censorship resistance, and neutrality.</span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Privacy</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Investors and Traders using decentralized exchanges don’t need to disclose their private keys because wallets are held externally, and the DEX is not liable for the funds. For the same reason, users aren’t typically required to complete KYC and AML procedures when using DEXs. </span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Lower Fees </span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Decentralized exchanges have no intermediary and function through the use of self-executing smart contracts. Therefore, DEXs like Uniswap charge a lower fee of around 0.3%. Although these fees fluctuate in response to the network utilization, they remain far lower than the costs incurred on centralized alternatives.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Overcoming Obstacles</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Over recent years, many decentralized exchanges have emerged and have experienced some obstacles, including limited scalability, throughput, liquidity, and usability. However, DeFi and DEX are still in the infant stages with ongoing innovation in the technology, iterating on previous attempts to streamline the user experience. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Ethereum-based DEXs have seen increasing momentum and user adoption. New combinations of cutting-edge technology are helping later generation blockchains overcome the perceived shortcomings of earlier implementations. Cardano’s 3rd generation blockchain, DeFi platform, and <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanoblockchaintotaketheleadinscalabilitywithhydra" target="_blank"><strong>Hydra technology</strong></a> will address the obstacles mentioned above.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The whole point of decentralized finance is to build financial services separate from the traditional financial and political system.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Interestingly, Cointelegraph <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-reportedly-contracts-blockchain-analytics-firm-to-monitor-defi-industry" target="_blank"><strong>recently reported</strong></a> the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission is very keen on understanding what is happening in the smart contract-based digital asset and DeFi landscape. Hester Peirce, Commissioner of the SEC, has warned of rampant “shadow-centralization” within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Dubbed the crypto mom, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-mom-true-decentralization-is-the-only-thing-that-will-save-defi-projects" target="_blank"><strong>Pierce believes</strong></a> that DeFi founders need to ensure complete decentralization from launch to bypass financial regulation. </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><span style="color:#c0392b"><em><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">“If you want to be decentralized, you really need to be decentralized, and that is going to then put you in a different category from the perspective of regulators because that’s just not something that we’ve dealt with before.”</span></span></em></span></strong></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Future Of DeFi And Crypto Exchanges </span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>DeFi will minimize the power</strong> from large centralized organizations and put it in the hands of the open-source community and individuals. It allows for a more open financial system preventing censorship and discrimination worldwide. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Decentralized exchanges are a solution and valid alternative to centralized entities. Through on-chain smart contracts, DEXs provide a trustless method of connecting buyers and sellers and offer new precedents of equitable involvement and governance for stakeholders.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">No banks or corporate exchanges are required. While a board of directors runs banks, DEXs are run by the “customers” themselves. With increasing momentum, we will witness a ramping up of innovation in technology throughout the entire industry. The <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/evolvingtechnologychallengesthestatusquo" target="_blank"><strong>evolution of technology</strong></a> will challenge the status quo and heavily align with the ethos of self-sovereignty.</span></span></p>

<h1 style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:26px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Stimulus Payments - How Much Went Into Bitcoin? </span></span></strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/STIMULUS-PAYMENTS-AND-CRYPTO-copy.png" style="height:361px; width:700px" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:22px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What About Altcoins? Surprising Results </span></span></strong></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Last year, we saw governments </strong>across the globe dole out billions of dollars to their citizens in an attempt to offset some of the economic impacts of the pandemic lockdowns. While that money was intended for food and rent, some of it managed to find its way into the crypto market. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">This has led many to wonder just how big of an impact all those stimulus checks, otherwise labeled Economic Impact Payments (EIP), have had on the crypto market. The United States Federal Reserve has also been wondering the same thing, so they recently published a study with surprising results and even more surprising regulatory recommendations. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The study was conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank Of Cleveland, specifically, which is one of the 12 Regional Banks which collectively make up the Federal Reserve System in the United States. The Federal Reserve is the privately held independent entity within the US government which issues federal reserve notes, also known as US Dollars. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"> The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland differs from the other Fed branches in that it is the only one that handles collections for the US Department of the treasury. In other words, they provide the payment system that the US government uses to collect taxes and pay back government debt. This seems to include any payments made by individuals or institutions to the US government. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland also supports the treasury's objective of expanding the use of digital products and payment services across the federal government, as quoted on their website. It’s not surprising that many of its constituents are interested in crypto. Two of them recently released the study, <a href="https://www.clevelandfed.org/en/newsroom-and-events/publications/working-papers/2021-working-papers/wp-2113-impact-of-covid19-stimulus-checks-on-retail-trading-in-bitcoin.aspx" target="_blank"><strong>Uncovering Retail Trading in Bitcoin the Impact of COVID-19 Stimulus Checks</strong></a>. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/FED-WORKING-PAPER.png" style="height:500px; width:556px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">In contrast to academic studies, this Fed study is technically a working paper that is circulated among all Federal Reserve officials to discuss, according to the second page of the paper. So with all this context in mind, let's take a look.</span></span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">First Section Of The Study</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>The first section of the Fed's stimulus</strong> study lays the groundwork for the entire paper. It starts by noting that the Fed was inspired to analyze the effects of stimulus checks on the crypto market after <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/coinbase-sees-1200-deposits-peak-following-first-us-stimulus-package-distribution/" target="_blank"><strong>data released</strong></a> by Coinbase, CEO Brian Armstrong in mid-April of 2020, featuring an image which shows that there's a massive spike in buy orders and deposits on Coinbase in the $1,200 range. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/Screenshot-2021-08-22-100800.jpg" style="height:399px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Who Was Eligible?</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>As explained in the second section</strong> of the Fed study, every adult in the United States that earns less than $75K per year was eligible to receive a no-strings-attached stimulus payment for $1,200. Those making between $75K and $99K per year were still eligible to receive some, but this amount approaches zero as their income approaches the upper-income limit.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Given that the median salary in the United States is only around $36k, the vast majority of adults were eligible to receive some <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/helicopter-drop.asp" target="_blank"><strong>helicopter money</strong></a>, and seven out of ten received their Economic Impact Payment (EIP) by the end of May 2020. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">This totaled nearly $270 billion, which was just 10% of the over $2 trillion the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CARES_Act" target="_blank"><strong>CARES Act</strong></a> eventually pumped into the US economy. Around that time, both the stock market and the crypto Market accelerated their recoveries from the massive crash in early March, which is believed to have been caused by the World Health Organization's announcement that a pandemic was indeed upon us.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Interestingly, the rally out of the slump began long before the EIPs started being sent out. The Fed believes that the mere announcement of monetary measures was enough to jump-start the recovery in asset markets. Although there have been two more rounds of stimulus payments since last year, the Fed's working paper only focuses on the first round of stimulus, which went out in March of 2020.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Methods Used To Determine Effect</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The third section of the FED study details the methods they used to determine how much of an effect the stimulus checks from last spring had on the price of Bitcoin. First, the Fed took trading data from<a href="https://www.kaiko.com/" target="_blank"><strong> Kaiko</strong></a>, a crypto data research company, about BTC buy orders on 26 cryptocurrency exchanges between January 1st and June 5th, 2020. Then they identified any buy orders at the $1,200 range and divided the initial time frame into two periods, January 1st to April 9th, and April 9th to June 5th.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">They did this because the first round of stimulus checks was sent out on April 9th, and the remainder were distributed in the weeks that followed. Logically, the Fed predicted that there would be more $1,200 BTC buy orders between April and June than between January and April. The number of these orders could then estimate how much of that money was invested into Bitcoin. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It stands to reason there are many confounding variables like multiple price points besides the $1200, where retail investors only invested a portion of their stimulus checks. They pointed out people with children are unlikely to invest in speculative assets. They highlighted the fact that most cryptocurrency investors tend to be young and single, among other variables. Still, overall the Fed actually did a pretty good job of accounting for most of them. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Significant Findings</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>The 4th, 5th, and 6th sections</strong> of the Fed study reveal results for their various hypotheses in detail; however, how the last findings related to the impact of the EIPs on the price of Bitcoin are nowhere close to the magnitude that you'd expect. Of the nearly 270 billion dollars of stimulus money sent out to Americans, only about $58 million found its way into Bitcoin between April 9th and June 5th. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Now, this might sound like a lot, but it's barely enough to push up the price of BTC by 5% on a single cryptocurrency exchange, much less the entire crypto market. According to the Fed, stimulus payments only accounted for 3.8% of BTC trades by number and 0.7% of trades by value during that time. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">In terms of the actual price, all the buy orders they analyzed, $1200, $1000, $600, $500, and $100, only managed to push up the price of Bitcoin by 0.22% between April 9th and June 5th. When you isolate the $1,200 payments, that BTC price pump drops to just 0.05%. So it just goes to show you that there are much bigger things that move the crypto market.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Main Takeaways</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>The last section of the Fed’s stimulus study</strong> lays out a few conclusions and some regulatory recommendations for future stimulus programs. The main takeaway is that only 0.02% of all stimulus checks were spent on bitcoin: Ascertaining that,</span></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">“Policymakers should not be concerned about money being diverted to cryptocurrency markets when considering similar economic relief programs in the future.” </span></span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It’s good news they came to this conclusion, but these findings are only pertaining to BTC. Bitcoin is just one of many cryptocurrencies that make up the crypto market and, these days, doesn't account for the majority share by market cap. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What About Altcoins? </span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>It's possible that some</strong> of last year's stimulus money ended up in altcoins, and arguably the amount is probably more significant than the $58 million that went into Bitcoin. Considerable evidence for this is a study <a href="https://blog.coinbase.com/around-the-block-6-bitcoins-dominance-alongside-coinbase-customer-behavior-the-coming-dex-c9d952ec6170" target="_blank"><strong>conducted by Coinbase</strong></a> in May 2020 which found that 40% of retail investors buy altcoins instead of Bitcoin, and more than half of those who purchase Bitcoin buy altcoins eventually. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/Screenshot-2021-08-23-093114.jpg" style="height:464px; width:534px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">As shown in the chart above, the Coinbase study indicates a whopping 76% of crypto investors ultimately put their money into altcoins. Unlike BTC, which requires tens of millions of dollars to change its price on any given day, it’s often the case that even just a few hundred thousand dollars is more than enough to move an altcoin up or down by double-digit percentages. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Bitcoin does carry the flag for the crypto space universally, as the store of value for all cryptos, much like gold was when it backed fiat currency. However, although some retail investors cut their teeth with Bitcoin, they are branching into other assets with prominent use-cases that provide differentiated services. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Therefore stimulus-driven investing could have had a significant impact on the price of select altcoins while having a negligible effect on Bitcoins price. Cardano’s ADA has soared over the past few months, holding firm in the dip of many cryptos, including Bitcoin. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/Screenshot-2021-08-22-093214.jpg" style="height:373px; width:600px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Further evidence for stimulus-driven altcoin investing was the Bitcoin dominance chart when there was a significant dip in Bitcoin dominance in April, which is precisely when the bulk of those stimulus payments were sent out. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Correlation certainly doesn't equal causation, but it's pretty clear that the average retail investor of today realizes the importance and utility some altcoins have with <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/isthemacromovinginfavorofaltcoins" target="_blank"><strong>emerging technology</strong></a>, providing much-needed solutions to issues that have arisen within the industry and externally. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Of all the crypto reports and studies out there, this one is probably the most significant. Besides the fact that the United States Federal Reserve conducted it, it underscores just how small of an effect retail money has on the price of Bitcoin. To move a trillion-dollar asset, you need trillions of dollars, and that's something the average person doesn't have. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">There are golden opportunities in the altcoin market the average retail investor can afford.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 36px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Are Content Entrepreneurs In 2021? </span></b></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/CONTENT-ENTREPRENEURS-copy.png" style="height: 361px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 26px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Who Are They? Where Do They Live? How Do They Make Money? </span></span></h1>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Do you remember what was happening</b> on the internet at the turn of the century? Cast your mind back to the Dot.Com era when web blogging first became a thing. Initially named Weblog, it was a new avenue for many writers, aspiring or seasoned, that had opened up. The internet was hungry for content, and many who grasped the opportunity could mark their territory, gather a significant audience, and monetize their creative work—a virtual land of opportunity for anyone connected to the internet. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">These days, some would argue that the blogging gold rush has all but dried up in terms of monetization or even generating an audience. Given the enormous amount of content accessible today, it would seem much more difficult to reach a level of success as a prominent, self-sustaining writer in any niche. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But the truth is, in today's climate, the art of the wordsmith has never been more critical, particularly in digital business and marketing. The art of writers and content creators puts ideas and information of any business into consumers’ eyes, ears, and hands. Without the nuances of this art, the best products and services won’t stand out, be discovered, or connect with the right customers and clients. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/ARTISITC-VISION-STRATEGIES-copy-1.png" style="height: 361px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Succeeding as a content entrepreneur takes time, patience, and a business mindset. The advantage of a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/serialinnovatorsholdalltheacesthedifferentdimensionsofinnovationexplained" target="_blank"><b>platform with the technology</b></a> and a community that supports the artists and their right to express themselves and facilitates the monetization aspect is a great place to start for aspiring content creators, B2C and B2B bloggers. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Online business owners must be aware that failure to adjust to <a href="https://seotribunal.com/blog/blogging-statistics/" target="_blank"><b>new trends</b></a> will impede the likelihood of consumers ever seeing their content, resulting in loss of business or even collapse. What we see now is a rise of content entrepreneurs, culminating their art with a hybrid of creativity, strategy, and technology. Combining strategic, artistic vision with existing and emerging technologies helps people turn fleeting interactions into genuine connections. </span></span></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Food For Thought</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>If you’re a nervous newbie</b> in the content marketing space and think that everything has already been said or written about, just perform your own research and add your point of view. Writing content that changes the world exists in the world, not in your mind.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In the words of <a href="https://copyblogger.com/its-all-my-fault/" target="_blank"><b>Brian Clark</b></a>, </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“The way you become a writer, and eventually a great writer, is to write. If the desire to write isn’t there, you’re going to have to learn to work well with creative writers to execute on your strategic vision.”</span></span></b></i></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A good rule of thumb for when you’re choosing one of your many ideas to write about is; <i><b>If it has even the slightest possibility of helping someone, give it a try.</b></i></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/BLOG-AdobeStock_113022143.jpeg" style="height: 274px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I came across a recent study conducted by The Tilt. It’s the first of its kind regarding content entrepreneurs and looks at what defines them, how they grow their audience and monetize content, and what it takes to be successful. These people do not “hustle”; instead, they are serious entrepreneurs building niche audiences—a group of serious business owners who have found a new way to build a business.</span></span></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Are Content Entrepreneurs?</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The Tilt quoted</b> that content entrepreneurs (CEs) make money by turning valuable and interesting content into revenue streams. Some are solopreneurs making a comfortable income based on sharing their unique expertise with a niche audience. Others are powering high-growth content ventures that employ many. All are part of a new movement of professionals pursuing work on their own terms.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Content entrepreneurs span all age groups, industries, and channels, not just the viral young influencers on Tik Tok, which seems to be the stereotype. For the most part, a CEs success isn't based on a viral hit or a massive audience. Founder of The Tilt, and facilitator of the research, <a href="https://www.joepulizzi.com/" target="_blank"><b>Joe Pulizzi</b></a>, cites. <i>“Just don’t call them influencers; content entrepreneurs are building businesses.”</i></span></span></p>
<p><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Content entrepreneurs are the people driving the creator economy. Yet, few truly understand them.</span></span></b></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Content entrepreneurs have a singular focus: growing their audience by filling a particular informational need. And by doing this well, they can “monetize” that audience. They are building something akin to a media company. </span></span></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">A Unique Group Of People </span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>With over 1400 entrepreneurs surveyed,</b> the research concluded that CEs fully supporting themselves are most likely Gen X or Boomers. The split between full-time and part-time was roughly 50:50. Younger entrepreneurs were more likely to treat content creation as a side gig. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/Screenshot-2021-08-14-122117.png" style="height: 315px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Full-time CEs are significantly more likely to be financially successful with a median investment of $10,000, and 75% are funding their content businesses with personal savings. Very few seek capital from venture capitalists or angel investors. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Most content entrepreneurs use no single revenue tactic for monetization; the most common are advertising and sponsored content, membership fees, online courses, events, and speaking fees. Revenue is derived from a combination of these monetization channels and, more recently, cryptocurrency rewards by blockchain-driven platforms like;</span></span></p>

</ul>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For those who operate their content business full time, the survey found that the median annual revenue was $50K. Experience is a factor in achieving higher income. The median revenue for content entrepreneurs in business four to seven years was $100K, while those in it for longer than seven years saw a median revenue of $125K.</span></span></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">How Do CEs Grow Their Audience?</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/seostrategyin2020focusoncontentandlinks" target="_blank"><b>Search engine optimization</b></a> (SEO) is the only audience-growth tactic cited by more than half (56%) of the content entrepreneurs. Hashtags came in second, cited by 48%. Partnerships with creators or entrepreneurs came in third (44%), followed closely by social media advertising (43%).</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/Screenshot-2021-08-14-121954.png" style="height: 589px; width: 600px;" /></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Freedom And Independence - The Top Motivator </span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The assumption that content entrepreneurs</b> turn a hobby into a business and pursue their passion while working does describe some. However, the overwhelming consensus of 86% of solopreneurs and 89% of micropreneurs is that CEs seek independence as the priority and can control their careers. They want to work on their terms at a time and place they determine. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Almost nine out of ten of all content entrepreneurs agree they became content entrepreneurs<i> “to achieve financial freedom on my own terms.”</i> They are abandoning the traditional pathways to success and building an entirely new model for professional work. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/Screenshot-2021-08-14-131005.png" style="height: 473px; width: 600px;" /></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Content entrepreneurs are fierce independents, discarding the traditional college education in favor of on-the-job training. 85% of respondents believe a college degree is not required to succeed as a CE. 95% say they can operate their content business anywhere that has reliable internet. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The study also revealed that Covid-19 generated a new cohort of content entrepreneurs. More than half (54%) of those who launched their business in the last year was influenced by the pandemic. </span></span></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Next Level Independence</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The survey revealed a lack of awareness and appreciation among the respondents regarding issues that could thwart long-term content business success, like deplatforming and losing their audience. Many content entrepreneurs are relying on third-party platforms; the recent survey indicated that they use Facebook (76%), Instagram (66%), LinkedIn (60%), Twitter (51%), and YouTube (47%).</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The above platforms mediate the relationship between creator and consumer and control at least some of the content entrepreneur’s business. Since these tech giants are for-profit businesses, their goal is to make money for their owners, not the creators. They can change the rules any time they want to make a more profitable business regardless of the impact on creators. They can even use insights from the CE’s audience to develop competing products and services. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A new breed of CEs is eliminating or reducing the intermediary relationship with these platforms, finding ways to reach their audience directly rather than relying on third-party channels and ad revenues. They’re taking “independence” to the next level. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As <a href="https://www.podchaser.com/creators/amanda-mcloughlin-107a4S1yMq" target="_blank"><b>Amanda McLoughlin</b></a>, creator and chief executive of the podcast collective Multitude, explains, </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“Audiences are powerful, and creators don’t need anyone’s permission to build one of their own or to ask them for support. As media companies continue to consolidate, our relationship with our audience and the autonomy of owning our work are more valuable than ever.” </span></span></b></i></span></p>

<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Markethive - Giving CEs Back Their Freedom And Autonomy On One Comprehensive Platform</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>One platform that has addressed</b> the issues of deplatforming and lack of control or autonomy over an entrepreneur’s livelihood is Markethive. A <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/giantblockchaincryptoprojectfirstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmedia" target="_blank"><b>blockchain-driven ecosystem</b></a> for entrepreneurs allows individuals to own their work autonomously and generate a substantial income without intermediaries.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It’s like having your own site with the advantages of Storefronts with POS shopping carts and access to the analytics and insights from your audience and customers. As a Markethive Entrepreneur, you are not beholden to the whims and rule changes of large social and tech platforms (e.g., algorithm changes, arbitrary blocking, and withholding of data). </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">CEs at Markethive can leverage new monetization strategies and emerging opportunities such as digital media aggregation and curation, the press release, and sponsored article platform that offer more control and much healthier margins. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive has a built-in social media interface where you already have an engaged, interested audience and target market. The Blog Subscribe, and <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivebloggingplatformwhatmakesitoutstanding" target="_blank"><b>blogcasting feature</b></a> that remotely broadcasts out to all other social media is a great way to expand your audience and increase reach. The unique <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivesnewinterfaceaninitialoverviewillustrated" target="_blank"><b>combined news feed interface</b></a> currently in development will make it that much more compelling.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive has two engines (subscriber and traffic) driving it and simultaneously bringing millions of entrepreneurs into this safe haven, the central hub, and gateway to the internet universe. <a href="https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/markethive.com#trafficstats" target="_blank"><b>Alexa</b></a> and <a href="https://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/markethive.com/" target="_blank"><b>WorthOfWeb</b></a> measure both the subscriber and traffic engines’ speed and power, and in the case of Markethive, they are growing daily in an exponential fashion.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/WHAT.ARE.CONTENT.ENTREPRENEURS.IN.2021/traffic.subscriptions.membership.png" style="height: 449px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With its two major engines at the helm and secondary engines such as the Hivecoin and exchange and all cottage businesses within Markethive, reaching out to all other platforms is fundamentally the core; the epicenter where we all work in collaboration, ensuring everyone’s success. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">According to The Tilt, CEs are the most powerful engine fueling growth and change within the creator economy movement, and they’ve only just begun. Markethive nurtures the content entrepreneur and delivers a ‘state of the art platform’ to you, but it is your company. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://markethive.com/" target="_blank"><b>Markethive</b></a> has been built for the community and brings self-sovereignty, privacy, autonomy to every individual with a genuine opportunity to be in control of your future, peace of mind, fulfilling your potential, creating wealth, and being able to prosper in so many ways.

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/A.NEW.INTERNET.THWARTS.CENTRALIZED.ENTITIES/NEW-INTERNET-DECENTRALIZATION-copy.png" style="height: 361px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 22px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Decentralization Empowering People</span></b></span></i></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>We live in an increasingly interconnected</b> world with 4.66 billion people connected via the internet. We pay each other, share data, and communicate with each other within seconds. This is all seemingly wonderful, but the truth is we are not connected with each other. Instead, we are connected to centralized multinational companies and data merchants we are forced to trust with everything we do.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It’s a scary reality that most people are living in today; however, decentralization is the future. The transition from centralized platforms to decentralized ones is going to be the most profound and disruptive change we’ll ever see in our lives.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Is Decentralization?</span></b></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In short, it is the transfer of control and decision-making from a centralized entity, an individual, organization, government, or company to a distributed network. Decentralized networks reduce the level of trust that people have to place in each other and significantly reduce the ability of any centralized entity to exert authority or control over that Network.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">One of the most well-known examples of decentralization is cryptocurrency. This feature is the key reason why it's so valued amongst the crypto community and tech Geeks. No single entity can stop you from transferring Bitcoin to another person. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">However, there are numerous examples of people who have had their bank accounts shut down because they bought Bitcoin. So it seems any given bank can dictate what its customers can or cannot do with their money. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Earlier this year, HSBC in the UK is just one example of a centralized entity <a href="https://currency.com/hsbc-blocks-cryptocurrency-transfers" target="_blank"><b>banning all crypto transactions</b></a> using their debit or credit cards. They did it because they can and obviously don’t like crypto. That, in a nutshell, is the problem with centralization and demonstrates how easy it is to ban, confiscate, and shut off those systems at will. </span></span></p>

<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">No Longer A Luxury But A Utility </span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The internet plays a massive role</b> in our lives today, with a vast majority tapped into social media platforms. Facebook currently has 2.6 billion users who seem to be oblivious to its dictatorial and underlying agendas. Also, buying goods and services online has become commonplace and a preferred option in many cases, which is a bit of a worry in such centralized environments. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Centralized social media platforms are fundamentally gilded cages controlled by a CEO not only heavily incentivized to generate stellar earning reports for its shareholders but wields a judgemental partisan approach limiting free speech and liberties of the users’. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For years now, the tech giants have been data harvesting our personal details. They are notorious for de-platforming anyone who doesn’t agree or is not compliant with their overzealous ruling. So, essentially we have lost access to content and have no control over our data or how it’s used, which could <a href="https://gizmodo.com/how-facebook-outs-sex-workers-1818861596" target="_blank"><b>endanger many people’s lives and privacy</b></a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Our data is controlled by these data barons, which is very much a security and privacy concern. One of the biggest data barons of them all is Equifax, and in 2017, they suffered one of the most significant <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-41192163" target="_blank"><b>data breaches</b></a> ever. Hackers stole the personal information of 143 million U.S. customers that included data, like Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and in some cases, driving licenses. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">All the information needed to commit identity fraud and is one of the most egregious frauds in existence. The fraudsters can acquire a credit card in the name of a stolen identity and destroy their credit rating. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The fact that centralized businesses own the algorithmic black box is kind of creepy, and for some people, it could lead to harassment, stalking and could actually be a matter of life or death. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">All that is particularly significant when we consider that we're living in an age where personal data can be weaponized against people. Are these platforms now so big that they are utility and not a luxury that can be just switched off at their discretion?</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Internet Centralization Runs Deep</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Internet centralization</b> runs very deep with the likes of internet tech giants such as Amazon Web Services, Alibaba, Microsoft, etc. AWS alone hosts over 9 million websites that they can virtually “play God” with and have done earlier this year by <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws" target="_blank"><b>withdrawing its services</b></a> and support from an upcoming alternative platform promoting free speech. Under the guise of violating AWS terms of service, it is arguably a politicized judgment call that can incapacitate companies and their users, their right to communicate their beliefs. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Of course, there’s the issue of outages where it was touted that AWS in North Virginia temporarily “<a href="https://money.cnn.com/2017/02/28/technology/amazon-web-services-outages/?iid=EL" target="_blank"><b>broke the internet</b></a>,” affecting Downtector.com, impacting websites, cloud storage, encryption, and content delivery, leaving many in a spin, some thought the end was coming.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/downdetector/status/836660704702705664" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/A.NEW.INTERNET.THWARTS.CENTRALIZED.ENTITIES/DOWNDETECTOR.png" style="height: 491px; width: 550px;" /></a></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">To illustrate another critical flaw with a centralized internet is that so-called authorities could censor the internet or suppress democratic protests by switching off the internet in their country. It has actually happened in Egypt during the <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2016/1/25/arab-spring-anniversary-when-egypt-cut-the-internet" target="_blank"><b>Arab Spring protests</b></a> in 2011 and was used more recently during the <a href="https://www.cityam.com/myanmar-cuts-off-internet-amid-anti-coup-protests/" target="_blank"><b>military coup in Myanmar</b></a> in February this year. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Dawn Of Web 3</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>What we are experiencing</b> is all part of Web 2 and defined as the majority of today’s most-used internet platforms are controlled by only a handful of powerful companies, which profit from the data users generate. The next phase of the internet is one in which the users’ take back control from the centralized corporations. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Known as Web 3, it’s a decentralized version of the internet and essentially a way for individuals to use it without giving up their privacy and valuable data. With the utilization of Blockchain technology, no single entity can gain control as the network is distributed across many different nodes. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Also, money is native to the internet, so instead of relying on traditional financial infrastructures like banks and all the restrictions that come with them, people can transact quickly globally and in a permissionless manner via cryptocurrencies. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/A.NEW.INTERNET.THWARTS.CENTRALIZED.ENTITIES/A-RECIPROCAL-BLESSING-copy2.png" style="width: 700px;" /></p>
<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Decentralized Social Media Emerging</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>A few companies are working hard</b> to make Web 3 a reality. A pioneer in the social media and marketing realm is <a href="https://markethive.com/" target="_blank"><b>Markethive</b></a>. The company has <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveastepaheadoftyrannicalbigtech" target="_blank"><b>successfully bypassed</b></a> the centralized web services, like AWS and Microsoft, and operates on their own cloud system. Markethive is working on expanding its clouds, called Mining Hives, throughout the world.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This means all data pertaining to Markethive and its users will not be stored on servers owned and controlled by a centralized entity. Instead, it is a distributed database on the Markethive Blockchain with no single point of failure and no internet disruption or censoring by the likes of dictatorial authorities who may decide to shut off the internet. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With the recent news of the U.S. Senate’s proposal to onerously <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/cryptocurrency-surveillance-provision-buried-infrastructure-bill-disaster-digital" target="_blank"><b>regulate the crypto industry</b></a>, which will stifle the United States, the importance of decentralization has escalated. It shows that the government views crypto as a real threat and, of course, another way to refill its coffers. This bombshell has the crypto industry in an uproar, with U.S. companies moving offshore to more crypto-friendly countries. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">To protect all Markethive associates and continue to build the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/giantblockchaincryptoprojectfirstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmedia" target="_blank"><b>entrepreneurial ecosystem</b></a> to bring financial and self-sovereignty, Markethive is in the process of building a new offshore corporation for launching its decentralized exchange (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/dexs-could-see-demand-boost-as-regulators-target-centralized-exchanges" target="_blank"><b>DEX</b></a>) and wallet. This Web 3 development is an inspiring and timely milestone that should be ready by September this year. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It is a Godsend and a blessing to have a social media and inbound marketing platform empower its community, integrating Blockchain and cryptocurrency in a decentralized environment to circumvent the ‘powers that be” in this ever-darkening world. Markethive will play a prominent role in the re-invention of the social media space to preserve and nurture the entrepreneurial spirit. </span></span></p>

<h1 style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:36px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Markethive Launches the Boost</span></span></strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVE.BOOST.RELEASE.ARTICLE/MARKETHIVE-LAUNCHED-THE-BOOST-BEE-copy.png" style="height:361px; width:700px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:26px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Time to “Release The Boost” Unleash the Marketing Beast In All Of Us!</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Now that we’ve got the Markethive Donation <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivebuildingapowerfulepicecosystem" target="_blank">Wheel of Fortune</a> spinning</strong>, giving away valuable prizes with every spin, it’s time to release The Boost. This launch is just the beginning of Markethive’s proprietary portfolio of advertising services. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Fashioned from the Facebook Boost system, the Markethive Boost is a foundational inclusion and fundamental to the Markethive ecosystem. The service will “boost” your marketing efforts to every subscriber in the Markethive community with enormous potential to increase your brand awareness, conversions, and engagement. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Facebook Organic Reach Declining </span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Since 2014, Facebook’s organic reach </strong>has been declining, with a more significant dip in organic reach in 2018 due to a considerable change in its news feed algorithm. Facebook started to shift ranking, focusing on delivering more posts from friends and family to any FB news feed.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The new algorithm didn’t bode well for marketers and businesses. As a result, marketing content had to take a back seat to content from friends and family - a value that Facebook says it originally had and that it's trying to return to. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Consequently, a Facebook Page only has a 2% reach. Additionally, Facebook says you should assume organic reach will eventually <a href="https://adage.com/article/digital/brands-organic-facebook-reach-crashed-october/292004/" target="_blank"><strong>arrive at zero</strong></a>. So, if you really want to reach your target audience on Facebook, you’ll need to supplement your organic efforts with some paid advertising. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVE.BOOST.RELEASE.ARTICLE/Screenshot-2021-07-25-180319.png" style="height:295px; width:572px" /><br />
<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><em>Image: <a href="https://www.agorapulse.com/blog/boost-post-facebook-advertising/" target="_blank">Agorapulse</a></em></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Hence, the boosted post feature, which is opined by many as a design to funnel money from your bank account into Facebook’s coffers swiftly and consistently. And still, your publication will only reach a small percentage of your friends. Audience targeting options are limited and not designed to help you create a well-optimized campaign. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Granted, the more you pay, the higher the estimated reach, which can cost thousands. The average is $1000; however, this will only give you access to your friends and subscribers of your page. These are people that you have already worked for or even paid to have in your sphere of influence.</span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Facebook Analogy</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Think of it like this: </strong>Imagine you have invited a large number of your friends for a banquet. Typically, you would mix with everyone much like a cocktail party setting before being seated at the table. However, at a Facebook dinner party, you must remain seated. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">You start a conversation, but only the four people closest to you at the table hear you. The guests further down the table don’t. The Facebook Boost would have you pay $1000 to include a few more to listen to what you're saying, but not all of them. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The next time you host a dinner party, you need to pay to have a few more people hear you. Ten of them may be your friends that you couldn’t speak to before and six that already heard you at the last party. So you still are unable to get your message across to the entire table and probably never will. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">And you definitely will not be able to put your message on the loudspeaker at the front of your house to speak to the people barbequing in their backyard. In other words, you can never go outside the boundaries of your groups, pages, friends, or colleagues. Even within the boundaries, your message will not reach your audience in total. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVE.BOOST.RELEASE.ARTICLE/THE.BOOST_.LOGO_.BLOG_.BANNER.png" style="height:98px; width:700px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Sets Markethive Apart? </span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive standard news feed already</strong> allows your posts to reach all your friends’ news feeds, always organically. That’s 100%. There is no algorithm preventing your posts from being seen by all your friends and group members. No shadow banning or 3rd party deciding what you should and should not see. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">And now, with the Markethive Boost service, you also have a PA system to communicate with the entire membership, not just your friends and associates. If they like your message and subscribe to you, you are then publishing to their sphere of influence and social networks.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Markethive Boost will always be considerably less expensive than other similar systems out there. Initially, the Boost will allow you to post on every member’s news feed for one flat fee for free members and a discounted fee for upgraded Entrepreneur One and Premium members. The standard BOOST prices will be $200 for free members and $100 for upgraded members.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">As the Markethive Boost evolves, it will become layered to the level you want it delivered, including different prices to deliver via hashtags, keywords, most active, number of friends, etc. This allows you to customize and target your audience to build brand awareness, increase leads, drive sales, and promote overall business growth. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Also, Entrepreneur One upgrades will be able to offer a free boost to new signups and members with our code generator. You simply choose a block of “BOOSTS,” pay for them, then distribute them as incentives to join Markethive or Members who accept your invitation to join your groups or make store purchases. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVE.BOOST.RELEASE.ARTICLE/THE.BOOST_.png" style="height:400px; width:400px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Introductory Offer</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Right now, though, for a limited time,</strong> in line with the release of The Boost, you can take advantage of the special introductory of only $20 to send your message into the News Feed of the entire Markethive membership. The offer will be for 30 days and is available for all members of every level. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The whole Markethive Boost concept will enable aspiring entrepreneurs to meet their marketing goals with the knowledge and satisfaction that their message reaches far beyond the scope outlined in Facebook for a lot less cost. Furthermore, you have a like-minded, receptive audience of business professionals and entrepreneurs.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">After all, <a href="https://markethive.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive</strong></a> is an ecosystem for entrepreneurs providing a valuable automated marketing platform, commerce portals with a social network where users can learn, engage, and expand markets. We’ll let Facebook get back to its family and friends’ focus while the next generation social market network transcends with putting the needs of entrepreneurs, companies, and marketers first. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong><em>Come to this Sunday’s meeting and see The Boost in action. Also, CEO and Founder of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast, will randomly give coins, banner impressions, Free Spins (In the Wheel Of Fortune), and a free Boost to a few lucky attendees. Be there!</em></strong></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><em>Note; A “BEE” coin is a fractional unit of the Hivecoin. Like the Satoshi is to Bitcoin, it takes 100,000,000 BEEs to make one Hivecoin. </em> </span></span></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Boost Explained (coming next)</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Have you ever noticed </strong>when creating a post for your business on your Facebook Page, you constantly get prompts to increase traffic to your post by purchasing a Boost Package? The concept is a good idea; however, the number of viewers that actually see your post is questionable. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Facebook algorithms are notorious for being manipulated. The reality is that even after spending time and money to build a large following with a Facebook Page, the news feed posts are only posting to less than 1% of your followers. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Facebook Boosts cost as much as $1000 to post your News Feed post to a maximum of about 500-700 members even if you have 1,000s of Page followers. There is much room for improvement as Facebook Boost posts are limited in their reach and are too expensive for most aspiring entrepreneurs.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">For instance, at the time of this writing, Markethive’s Facebook page has about 10,000 followers. When we post to the News Feed, only around 1% of the members are reached (for example, our post was only available on the news feed of 141 people). However, Facebook is quick to alert us a boost is available. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MH.EPIC.ECOSYSTEM.WOF.BOOST.INTRO/REACHED.BOOST_.AVAILABLE.NOTICE.png" style="height:81px; width:608px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">However, for $1000, Facebook will publish our Newsfeed post to an additional 5,000 over seven days of our 10,000 followers.</span></span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MH.EPIC.ECOSYSTEM.WOF.BOOST.INTRO/BOOST.PROPOSED.COST_.FACEBOOK.BUDGET.png" style="height:321px; width:600px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Facebook’s algorithms greatly reduce the number of friends who see your posts and significantly limit your marketing efforts to your followers. Even with the Boost, it’s not ideal and can run into thousands of dollars. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">There are <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/allabouttheboost" target="_blank"><strong>pros and cons</strong></a> to Facebook Boost, but arguably, Facebook is not designed for marketers or aspiring entrepreneurs, nor does it have their best interests at heart. The coming Markethive Boost system is designed to give the entrepreneur a very distinct advantage within our ecosystem. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Markethive Boost Difference</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive Boost will not be prone</strong> to algorithmic manipulation and will allow you to Boost outside your boundaries as well for a fraction of the cost. As the Markethive Boost evolves, it will become layered to the level you want it delivered (different prices to deliver via hashtags, keywords, most active, number of friends, etc. (But not via private navigation). </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Initially, the Boost will allow you to post on every member’s News Feed for one flat fee for free members and a discounted fee for upgraded Entrepreneur One and Premium members. The standard BOOST prices will be $100 for free members and $50 for upgraded members; however, for the launch, Markethive will offer a first 30 day special that all members may make one Boost post for $20 “All levels.” </span></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Stay tuned for the big release. </span></span></em></p>

<h1 style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:26px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">MARKETHIVE BLOCKCHAIN AND CARDANO’S PRESENCE ON A GLOBAL SCALE</span></strong></span></h1>

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>While the Markethive Social Market Network continues</strong> to work very closely with Cardano with its integration to the Cardano Blockchain, a lot is happening with the many other facets of Cardano and IOG to further establish their presence in this evolving world of technology. Its technology can assist in a new redistribution of power and give people greater freedom, bringing the world together with a more equitable landscape. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">As we anticipate the imminent rollout of Markethive’s multifunction <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivesnewinterfaceaninitialoverviewillustrated" target="_blank"><strong>news feed interface</strong></a>, gamification platform, and migration to the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanoblockchaintotaketheleadinscalabilitywithhydra" target="_blank"><strong>Cardano blockchain</strong></a>, I will outline some of the amazing initiatives IOG has set into motion; with the announcement of a historical event and the recognition, Cardano has received of late. This is all wonderfully exciting news putting Cardano at the forefront as one of the fastest-growing, most stable, most mature, and systematic cryptocurrency projects.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BLOCKCHAIN.CONSOLIDATION.CARDANO.PARTNERS/Screenshot-2021-07-11-113231.png" style="height:198px; width:700px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Is IOG? </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Input Output Global</strong>, otherwise known as Input Output Hong Kong (<a href="https://iohk.io/" target="_blank"><strong>IOHK</strong></a>), is a research and development company committed to using the peer-to-peer innovations of blockchain to build accessible financial services for all. The company was founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood. IOHK is an engineering company that builds cryptocurrencies and blockchains for academic institutions, government entities, and corporations for the Cardano blockchain.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The first is the Alonzo project, which is essential for Markethive’s smart contracts and many other companies committed to utilizing Cardano services.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BLOCKCHAIN.CONSOLIDATION.CARDANO.PARTNERS/Screenshot-2021-07-09-131646.png" style="height:395px; width:700px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Alonzo Roadmap</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>The Alonzo roadmap</strong> consists of a testnet and is essential for implementing smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain. The different stages of the Alonzo roadmap are color-coded, with Alonzo Blue being the first testnet phase. The initial phase has been deemed very successful, and the Alonzo White phase is set to run by this coming week. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">This stage allows a broader net of testers with the overall goal to integrate the off-chain components within the new stable environment, including the wallet backend. This will also enable partners to test their scripts in a live setting and run for approximately two to four weeks.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BLOCKCHAIN.CONSOLIDATION.CARDANO.PARTNERS/ALONZO-ROADMAP.png" style="height:225px; width:800px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Alonzo Purple is the third main stage before the main net when the testnet becomes public. All pioneers and partners start working on their projects, so there will be a step up in users from every stakeholder group load testing the network. This will also see the integration of <a href="https://daedaluswallet.io/en/flight/" target="_blank"><strong>Daedalus flight wallet</strong></a> and the big exchanges. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Alonzo Red and Black are a minor factor and can be summarized as a “tidying up” of everything before the mainnet launch. IOG is close to the <a href="https://github.com/cardano-foundation/docs-cardano-org/blob/main/explore-cardano/what-is-a-hard-fork-combinator.md" target="_blank"><strong>hard fork combinator</strong></a> at this stage, bringing the <a href="https://roadmap.cardano.org/en/goguen/" target="_blank"><strong>Goguen smart contract phase</strong></a> to Cardano.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">There's enormous commercial interest, traction, and community effort with Cardano and evident with Alonso Blue, soon to be White. It is also evident with independent projects and how fast they're moving. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">With the launch of <a href="https://emurgo.io/blog/what-is-the-future-of-the-cardano-blockchain-after-the-mary-hard-fork" target="_blank"><strong>Mary</strong></a> earlier this year, Cardano already has enormous traction with tens of thousands of NFT assets issued, worth over $10 million that have been sold. It also brings native assets to the Cardano test network and allows developers to create custom tokens or migrate unique existing projects to Cardano like <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/giantblockchaincryptoprojectfirstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmedia" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive Hivecoin</strong></a> and <a href="https://medium.com/@thefractalcrypto/cardano-singularitynet-partnership-trillions-in-marketcap-bcd78e44e9d4" target="_blank"><strong>SingularityNET AGIX</strong></a> and are very much aligned with Cardano and Charles Hoskinson’s long-term vision.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Charles Hoskinson Meet Grace </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><a href="https://singularity.net/" target="_blank"><strong>Singularity.net</strong></a> is a decentralized global AI marketplace and, together with Hanson Robotics, has created a platform where the world of biotech meets that of AI and robotics. Their vision is to facilitate human-like robots as medical assistants to meet patient health care needs initially in aged care—the <a href="https://awakening.health/" target="_blank"><strong>Awakening.Health project</strong></a> is on a mission to cure the pains of the medical system and deliver services at a low cost, and helping patients worldwide. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Meet Grace, the medical assistant robot;</strong> she is named Grace as it means Divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification. Watch the video below. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">So there is simply no end to Cardano’s technology and scope, and ability to integrate all aspects of life. Cardano has also seen a tripling in the population size of the community network since last year and a lot of value accumulation as well. Cardano is the number one stake network in the entire cryptocurrency space, with a lot of excitement, activity, and genuine interest in the overall mission of Cardano. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>There is also a lot of institutional interest,</strong> and recently Grayscale Investments, the world’s largest crypto asset manager, added Cardano’s ADA to their Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund portfolio. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">According to <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/07/02/2257158/0/en/Grayscale-Digital-Large-Cap-Fund-Announces-Quarterly-Rebalancing-of-Fund.html" target="_blank"><strong>this report</strong></a>, Grayscale has adjusted the Fund’s portfolio by selling specific amounts of the existing Fund Components in proportion to their respective weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase Cardano (ADA).

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Nearly three decades ago,</strong> the Internet enabled us to improve our lives with the availability and accessibility of information; however, it’s had its problems. As a result, tech giants have enormous power today where we have had to trust these companies leading to abuse of that trust.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Blockchain technology projects like <a href="https://cardano.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Cardano</strong></a> and the <a href="https://markethive.com/"><strong>Markethive social market network</strong></a> will bring a new wave of technological disruption on the trust level. They are helping to solve the issues we have in social media and the legacy financial system today. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The technological revolution will redefine the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract" target="_blank"><strong>social contract</strong></a>. It happened with the introduction of the internet, and now it’s happening again because of blockchain. It will give people more power and control over their lives.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Technology is the tool that needs to be adopted by the people. For things to change, the revolution must take place at the social level. Technology alone will not bring about change in society for us. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">All who see the bigger picture of what <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thehumanisticvaluesofcardanoandmarkethiveadivinesynergism" target="_blank"><strong>Cardano and Markethive</strong></a> and many other collaborating partners are doing to connect and unite the world, decentralizing and offering financial, self-sovereignty, and identity, will join us in creating a force for good, liberty, and freedom. </span></span></p>

<h1 style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:36px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">BREAK THE CRYPTO LANGUAGE BARRIER - Crypto Lingo Defined</span></span></h1>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/BREAK-THE-CRYPTO-LANGUAGE-BARRIER-copy.png" style="height:361px; width:700px" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:20px">How familiar are you with the ever-evolving crypto phraseology?</span></span></strong></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Have you ever come across a crypto </strong>meme but have no idea what it means? We also see crypto-related news dominating just about every medium on the internet, with cryptocurrency and the technology behind it becoming more prevalent in our global society. But there’s a bit of a language barrier regarding the terms used, and it’s growing as new terminology is invented. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Considering the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/giantblockchaincryptoprojectfirstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmedia" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive social market network</strong></a> has its Hivecoin as an integral factor at the core of its ecosystem and a source of income for its community, understanding the crypto-specific terms when introducing your referrals to your crypto interests is a good idea and a sign of your expertise, especially to those who haven't dipped their toe into the crypto world as yet. These people are called “no-coiners.” </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">So let's define some of the more popular terms, what they mean, and where they originated. Many of you may already know the crypto vernacular, but as I found while researching, there is much more to them. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/HODL-copy.png" style="height:283px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Hold On For Dear Life - HODL</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>I’ll start with the most common</strong> cryptocurrency term, HODL, which is considered the acronym for “Hold On For Dear Life” and has become one of the core philosophies of cryptocurrency investing. HODL means holding on to your cryptocurrency for the long term and paying no attention to the short-term price action. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The truth is HODL was first introduced on the Bitcointalk forum in December 2013, when user GameKyuubi, with a few whiskeys under his belt, posted about missing the top of Bitcoin’s first bull run. He misspelled the word “holding,” so the post titled “I AM HODLING” quickly became a meme with respondents saying that they too would be HODLing their Bitcoin instead of actively trading it.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-02-090935.png" style="height:234px; width:600px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The people that HODL are called HODlers, and some intend to hold on to their Bitcoin until a single BTC is worth millions of dollars. Other HODlers intend to HODL until cryptocurrency becomes the new financial standard with Bitcoin as a global store of value. Therefore, see the fiat exchange rate of cryptocurrencies as irrelevant. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">By contrast, people who can't handle huge swings to the upside or downside and sell instead are referred to as “weak hands.” Most of the weak hands are retail investors who are new to cryptocurrency. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Hodlers have no interest in the volatility and prognostication of pundits. They simply hodl, which helps them to counteract two common destructive tendencies: FOMO (fear of missing out), which can lead to buying high, and FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), which can lead to selling low, which is occasionally referred to as SODLing. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">HODL is most often used when the price of Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency suddenly drops or spikes. So when someone asks if you are selling your crypto when it reaches all-time highs, politely but firmly say that you are hodling. This may leave that person feeling some FOMO.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-01-104201.png" style="height:407px; width:700px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Fear Of Missing Out - FOMO</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>FOMO is short for “Fear Of Missing Out,” </strong>and in the context of crypto, FOMO is what you feel when you see the price of a coin or token that you don’t have in your portfolio reaching new ATH, which is an acronym for all-time highs.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Interestingly, FOMO is technically classed as social anxiety identified in 1996 by marketing strategist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out" target="_blank"><strong>Dr. Dan Herman</strong></a>. It wasn't until 2004 that FOMO was coined by venture capitalist and author Patrick J. McGinnis, who subsequently popularized it in an op-ed he published while studying at the Harvard Kennedy business school. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">If you've ever seen those Facebook ads that tell you there's a limited time to buy any given product, that's FOMO marketing. <a href="https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2014/07/29/fomo-history/" target="_blank"><strong>According to McGinnis</strong></a>, the only thing worse than FOMO is FOBO, or “Fear Of a Better Option.” FOBO is more relevant to no-coiners as it refers to waiting for something better to come along.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-01-110940.png" style="height:369px; width:693px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Widespread FOMO is also considered by many to be the <a href="https://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundamental/article/special_report/2019/02/05/Market-cycle-phases.html" target="_blank"><strong>second last stage</strong></a> of a bull market cycle which is why you see a lot of discussion around retail and institutional FOMO when talking about what's going to drive Bitcoin to its all-time highs. Some believe that measuring this FOMO is how you can time the top of a bull market.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Fear Doubt And Uncertainty - FUD</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>The opposite of FOMO is FUD</strong> which is the abbreviation of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. FUD is pretty self-explanatory; it's what you feel when you see the crypto market crashing or see a viral news article about how Bitcoin is dead. People who spread FUD are referred to as fraudsters and of which the corporate media has been guilty. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-02-103104.png" style="height:210px; width:600px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">In contrast to FOMO, FUD is not social anxiety but a propaganda tactic used exclusively in sales and marketing. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt" target="_blank"><strong>Wikipedia notes</strong></a> that FUD is used most in “disinformation related to software, hardware, and technology industries.” </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It was popularized in the 1970s and first used in its common current technology-related meaning by the prominent computer architect <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Amdahl" target="_blank"><strong>Gene Amdahl</strong></a> in 1975 after he left IBM to found his own company, Amdahl Corp.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">“FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering Amdahl products.”</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It makes you wonder what IBM is saying about crypto behind closed doors while shilling their centralized blockchains to hypnotized investors. Some people believe that big banks and tech giants sponsor a fair chunk of the cryptocurrency FUD you see in the news.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">So the next time your no-coiner friend sends you another mainstream article talking about how cryptocurrency is going to be banned by U.S. Regulators, you can tell them that it's nothing more than FUD. A good indicator of this is that if whales and institutions are still buying despite the news, there's no real cause for concern. There are also many free online<a href="https://ig.com/en/trading-strategies/10-trading-indicators-every-trader-should-know-190604" target="_blank"><strong> trading indicators</strong></a> to use to follow the trends.</span></span></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Hopium</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>It’s essential to back up</strong> your beliefs about a cryptocurrency using solid facts and statistics; otherwise, you may be at risk of becoming a hopium addict. Hopium is an addiction to false hopes and is a blend of the two words “hope” and “opium.” It’s used to describe a fictional drug to help one stay hopeful in times of stress. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The term has been used among stock market investors to describe market investors who hold on to failing investments out of false hope, and more recently by Bitcoin investors in a similar way. Hopium was first used in December of 2010 by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge" target="_blank"><strong>Zero Hedge’s Tyler Durden</strong></a>, who published an article criticizing Goldman Sachs for an opinion on the economy. In the piece, Durden uses the term "hopium" to describe Goldman's outlook as one based on false hope.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It has since been used in many <a href="https://thegreatrecession.info/blog/hopium-floats/" target="_blank"><strong>investment articles</strong></a> and became a viral meme of Pepe the frog hooked to an oxygen tank labeled “hopium.” Hopium memes grew in popularity due to the 2020 US Election alongside another closely related portmanteau, “copium.” </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/HOPIUM.png" style="height:234px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Copium</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Copium is a blend of the words</strong> “cope” and “opium.” A user of the <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Copium" target="_blank"><strong>Urban Dictionary</strong></a> defined copium as “a metaphorical opiate inhaled when faced with loss, failure or defeat, especially in sports, politics and other tribal settings. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Although the earliest known use of the word was by rap artist Keak Da Sneak in his 2003 album titled Copium, in 2019, it has become a popular meme with Pepe, the frog and used in various instances as a reaction to any given situation.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-03-104307.png" style="height:185px; width:644px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Shitcoin</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Co-host of Unhashed Podcast, </strong>Ruben Somsen, is credited with defining what a shitcoin tweeting a shitcoin is “a coin that can be predicted to go to zero because of its flawed fundamentals, its creators and adopters deny all criticism and focus heavily on misleading marketing in order to extract maximum value from new “investors,” saddling them with the inevitable losses.”</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-03-112115.png" style="height:246px; width:500px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-01-080925.png" style="float:right; height:350px; width:220px" /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Shitcoin was first used in November 2010 by Bitcoin talk user Gavin Andresen. He predicted and quoted that <em>“if Bitcoin really takes off, I can see a lot of get-rich-quick imitators coming on the scene”</em> and notes that shitcoin as being one of these imitator coins.<br />
<br />
There are actually two literal shitcoins listed on Etherscan as ERC 20 tokens. Also, the <a href="https://help.ftx.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027668812-Index-Calculation" target="_blank"><strong>FTX cryptocurrency exchange</strong></a> offers numerous shitcoin index tokens that allow you to “long” or “short” a basket of 58 altcoins. However, some may not agree with all the tokens listed.<br />
<br />
According to the <a href="https://shitcoingraveyard.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Shitcoin Graveyard</strong></a>, all shit coins are destined to become either dead coins or zombie coins. A dead coin is defined as a cryptocurrency project that its team has abandoned, has less than $100 of trading volume per day, and no longer has a functioning website. <br />
<br />
Zombie coins are basically dead coins with relatively high trading volume. Keep in mind that the trading volume you see on many zombie coins is probably fake, especially if it's happening on lesser-known exchanges. It's also worth noting that a cryptocurrency can still be profitable even if it is a shitcoin; just be wary of the risks of investing in these sorts of projects.<br />

<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">REKT</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>REKT (or rekt) </strong>is internet slang for “wrecked,” meaning severely damaged or utterly destroyed and ruined. The term is usually used among the online gaming community describing a player (or team) that was defeated in an embarrassing or silly way. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Specifically, when used in the crypto community, rekt often refers to a person who has experienced heavy financial loss due to a wrong trade investment. The term can also refer to the cryptocurrency itself that nosedived in price or a market that dropped significantly, e.g., “the market is rekt.” </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It is, however, worth noting that being REKT and truly losing money are quite different since rekt assets can bounce back. For example, back in early 2018, Bitcoin was rekt, yet it bounced back by year's end in 2020, reaching a new all-time high.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/Screenshot-2021-07-04-135538.png" style="height:277px; width:600px" /><br />

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Shill</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Shill has become a popular</strong> term in the crypto space and refers to a person who will promote a particular cryptocurrency, typically using baseless information, for their personal gain. Many crypto projects assign bounties for influencers who “shill” their crypto. A “Shiller” encourages others to invest in a cryptocurrency so that the interest grows, and people buy it, and the price of the coin or token increases. <br />
<br />
The word “shill” didn’t originate in the crypto world. It is commonly used by casinos where collaborators (shillers) are given a stack of chips to play so that the other gamblers don’t have to feel alone in losing.<br />
<br />
Shillers are often seen as fraudsters; however, what constitutes a shill is of personal opinion. Sometimes, we can see the use of shilling when a person makes damaging, occasionally false accusations about a specific cryptocurrency. A Shiller may want a competing crypto to fail so that theirs becomes more valuable. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/PUM-AND-DUMP.png" style="height:336px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Pump And Dump</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>A “pump-and-dump” strategy</strong> is a form of market manipulation that has been around long before cryptocurrencies existed. “Pump” happens when a coin or token’s attention and demand in the market goes up, leading to a price increase. Then, everyone “dumps” the cryptocurrency and sells, coupled with a spread of negative emotions towards it. This will result in big waves in the crypto’s value.<br />
<br />
Like FUD, pump and dump is another tactic they use to manipulate the sentiments of the crypto market. In many cases, traders artificially inflate the price of cryptocurrencies with the hope of making a quick profit at the expense of other investors. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">A simple rule of thumb to avoid pump-and-dump schemes is that you should never listen to one particular influencer’s opinions about investment decisions or price predictions. Instead, take in as many different views as you can, do your own research (DYOR). Always verify and validate market news and information. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BREAK.THE.CRYPTO.LANGUAGE.BARRIER/AIRDROPS.png" style="height:274px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Airdrops</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Airdrop has become a central feature</strong> of the cryptocurrency space. It refers to the practice of crypto projects giving away free tokens to the public. This can lead to an increase in the project’s publicity and token circulation. It then gets more people trading it when it lists on an exchange. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">As a marketing strategy, it raises awareness for their offering among the crypto community and generates initial buzz around a crypto project. This creates a win-win scenario because the crypto project gets low-cost (or free) marketing about their project, and you get free crypto tokens. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">An example of a crypto project doing airdrops is <a href="https://markethive.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive</strong></a>, the next generation social market network, with its infinity <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveairdropsandmicropaymentsexplained" target="_blank"><strong>airdrops and micropayments</strong></a>. As a member of the Markethive community, whenever you refer someone, you currently receive 500 Hivecoin. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Also, your referral receives an equal amount upon joining. Once qualified, a member continues to receive micropayments allowing the ability to accumulate coins. Among many other of Markethive’s initiatives, this ultimately creates an entire ecosystem. </span></span></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">In Closing</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>There you have it. </strong>Just some of the key crypto slang terms, and you’re likely to come across many more, along with new words and acronyms that will find their way into the crypto world as the industry evolves. To check out a few more, visit <a href="https://cryptocurrencyfacts.com/a-quick-guide-to-cryptocurrency-terms/" target="_blank"><strong>cryptocurrencyfacts.com</strong></a>. Cryptocurrency slang is a handy thing to know, and knowing where all these terms came from really highlights just how far the crypto asset class has come. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">HODL is really much more than some whacky acronym that is bandied about. It's symbolic of the sort of mindset and grit you need to have to brave the volatile crypto market. I’m sure we’ve all had weak hands at some point, nor are we immune to FOMO or FUD, but if we keep our head down and focus on the fundamentals, we’ll rise above it. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">There is a saying that goes:</span></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:16px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">"Where focus goes, energy flows."</span></strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">If you are focusing on the "crazy" daily fall in your portfolio, it will throw you off and consume you. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">If you decide to focus on the fantastic ways cryptocurrency is transforming our world, you will be content in your investment decisions. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">I hope that being familiar with these terms will help you educate others about cryptocurrency. Of course, knowing the history and law behind them will make the explanation of these terms that much more interesting to your no-coiner friends. </span></span></p>

<h2 style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:28px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">An innovation that is set to change the way we work and interact online. </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive Social Market Broadcasting Network</strong> becomes more prominent daily as the blockchain-driven ecosystem for entrepreneurs with a non-adversarial, bi-partisan free speech ethic and the collaborative culture we rarely see on social media platforms today. Even the newer acclaimed free speech platforms are partisan to the left or right and deal with deplatforming and boycotts from payment providers.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It’s widely notorious that the actions of the tech giants have divided nations and are the source of countless societal harms, including rampant censorship, promoting violent extremism, spreading false information, and unfairly stamping out its competition. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Instead of improving the user experience to one that users would welcome, legacy big tech is somewhat distracted by its self-induced problems. It’s now under scrutiny by government policymakers with the overall consensus that something should be done to reign in the centralized power or structurally break up the technocracy. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">To circumvent this, Facebook is focused on <a href="https://about.fb.com/regulations/" target="_blank"><strong>updating the internet</strong></a> with new regulations to appease critics and leverage its new <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/05/facebook-oversight-board-donald-trump" target="_blank"><strong>Oversight Board</strong></a>, while <strong><a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-to-fix-big-tech-without-big-government/" target="_blank">Twitter grapples</a> </strong>at the idea of integrating a more decentralized approach to the platform, specifically giving users an algorithmic choice by opening up its news feed to third party algorithms selected by its users, which could undoubtedly customize the user experience, but still be under a central authority. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Markethive Goes Next Level</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Known for its <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/evolvingtechnologychallengesthestatusquo" target="_blank">evolutionary and innovative ethos</a></strong>, Markethive continues to expand its decentralized “all-in-one” platform with the development of a unique news feed interface that completely embodies the user experience (UX) in the framework of “don’t make me think.” A concept brought to light by author Steve Krug, a usability expert, cites that usability is fundamentally about human psychology. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The book “<a href="https://sensible.com/dont-make-me-think/" target="_blank"><strong>Don’t Make Me Think</strong></a>” was first written in 2000 and revised in 2013. Since the turn of the century, technology has changed rapidly. Yet, the principles in the book remain the same because something is only considered usable if an average person can figure out how to use it to achieve an outcome without it being more trouble than it’s worth. Krug breaks this down into three laws as shown in this infographic below:</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/MARKETHIVES.NEW.INTERFACE.ILLUSTRATED/USABILITY-PRINCIPLES-AND-GUIDELINES.png" style="height:588px; width:700px" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Key Quote</span></span></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000099"><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">“Usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not about technology<br />
...while technology often changes quickly, people change very slowly.”</span></span></strong></em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Once it is understood how the human brain works, these same insights can continue to be applied even as technology and landscapes evolve. So usability is not just about technology; it’s about understanding how people think and behave to build better things, giving the user a more seamless and more straightforward experience when navigating.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Unlike the social media giants, which only have one primary news feed that is algorithmically set by the central authorities, Markethive is introducing four news feeds to accommodate the multi-functional platform within the Markethive ecosystem. The individual feeds are General, Video, Blogging, and Content Curation. They are all accessible from the main page and can be algorithmically set by the individual user. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The scope that Markethive has is enormous as it integrates all the vertical systems of the other platforms under one roof. </span></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Social + Video + Blogging + Marketing + Curation + Broadcasting = Markethive. </span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It’s a monumental project that can be overwhelming for the average person. It’s no wonder social media platforms are predominantly single-function and centralized. Technology has advanced with Blockchain, and Crypto is becoming ubiquitous and gives rise to the decentralized, privacy, and autonomy components of social media. Something that the established dinosaurs would find near impossible to integrate at its highest level. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Enter Markethive, and although it has enjoyed longevity, it can <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/giantblockchaincryptoprojectfirstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmedia" target="_blank"><strong>integrate cutting-edge and unique systems</strong></a>. It is next-level, delivering every function and aspect available, fitting for the entrepreneur, business, and corporation. A clean design, not cluttered, intuitive for easy navigation, and simple to carry out tasks for all users on every level is crucial for website stickiness and the overall success of our entrepreneurial users.</span></span></p>

It is definitely something to look forward to upon its integration. </span></span></em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong> As quoted by CEO and Founder of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast,</strong></span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000099"><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">“We are making major changes right now to the entire layout and aspects of the system.

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The format is horizontal, not vertical, </strong>like many other websites making it more readable and less time-consuming in terms of navigation. The vertical side menus are gone, along with the busy text in the blue bar. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">At the top of the main page are the Super Banners. This is prime real estate and specifically for Markethive, the company. There are currently three banners to be displayed in this space;</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Wheel Of Fortune</span></span></strong></li>

</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Anyone else inside or outside of Markethive wanting to place a banner there will pay top dollar. <br />
The real estate below the blue bar is for the markethive community and placement of their banners.</span></span></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">This feature is for Entrepreneur one upgrades only, so the X will only be visible to upgraded accounts.

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Multiple Pulldown Menus </span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Multiple pull-down menus will be replacing</strong> the side menus on the main news feed page and the profile page. These are now all accessible on one page on the blue bar under Settings, Shopping Cart, and the Notifications bell icon also named Alerts Control. This allows you to configure the blue alerts bar and provides click menu navigation. <span style="color:#000000">In other words, you choose what icons you would like to display. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">All the settings displayed that could only be accessed on the left of the profile page are now accessed on the main interface, including general profile page settings, payments, Vault, ILP purchases, login account, social accounts, and hive ranking. This makes it a lot easier to navigate and is much more intuitive. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">There is also a pull-down menu under Shopping Cart that displays the status of your cart (whether it’s empty or has items pending in it). </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The shopping cart menu takes you to the Markethive store and the Advertising services, which are strictly for the Markethive Press Release program, the Boost, social network broadcasting, digital banner advertising, and video advertising. As these services are introduced, you will find them in this pull-down menu. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">A series of upgrades will also be displayed under the shopping cart. Currently, there is the E1 upgrade and soon to be added the Apprentice Upgrade, which will be renamed the Premium Upgrade. There will ultimately be multiple levels of premium upgrades which will all be located in the shopping cart pull-down menu. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">For the purpose of this article, the image below displays all pull-down menus opened and can be accessed by clicking on their respective icon. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Now for the pièce de résistance and Markethive’s claim to fame</strong>. The combined news feed interface is a first in the social media environment. It includes the four primary feeds being the general Newsfeed, Blog, Video, and Curation feed. </span></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">So what’s the big deal about a news feed?</span></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The news feed is the heart and lungs of Markethive. Everything around it is the bones or structure of Markethive. It all starts at the center, being the newsfeeds and works outwards and is the dashboard or control center, where every aspect of Markethive is easily accessible. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The combined pulldown menu also includes the Groups feed, Campaigns, Games, Store, and Email feed which can also be set algorithmically by you. You choose what and who you want to see in your combined news feed. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">You can choose only to see what you’ve posted, select by geo-location, friends, Tube feed, Blog feed, Group feed, etc. You can access these configuration tools in the tray just above the HTML editor, housing the stats tools, tracking devices, posting tools, sorting and filtering tools, editing, and upload tools. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Whatever task you do, you will access it from the combined feed pull-down menu. For example, if you want to upload a video in the Tube Feed, it will open up the tool page for you to upload it. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">You do not leave the main page for any task you perform. This is where you access all your interfaces. E.g., The video upload interface, the blogging platform, the curation control panel, etc. You will be able to add, edit and monitor everything you do right from the main page. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Whatever you choose to see in your combined feed will be displayed: Videos from the Tube Feed, Blogs, Capture Pages, Groups feed, General postings, everything will be displayed on the page. </span></span></p>

Each post generates a permalink that will show when the post is broadcasted to other social media sites, displaying the profile page with a summary of the post. Clicking on the Permalink below any post in the news feed will open up a lightbox of the post as illustrated in the image below.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#000000">A lightbox is a window overlay that appears over a webpage, blocking some of the content and dimming and disabling the rest of the background. This ensures a site visitor cannot interact with other content on the website until they take action — either by clicking a button, filling out the popup, or exiting out of it.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#000000">The comments are also displayed in the permalink lightbox.

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#000000">Clicking on the permalink also allows the viewer to peruse your other posts. You can tip on the newsfeed post and on the permalink lightbox of the post. To comment, you click on Comments on the post which will open up the permalink lightbox. The timestamp displayed next to the permalink will show the hour, day, month, and year. No more wondering what year the post was posted! </span></span></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Are you new to crypto? </strong>Or have you been blindly dabbling in the crypto market, getting caught up in hype or<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out" target="_blank"><strong> FOMO</strong></a>, and not understanding the pitfalls? We’ve all experienced some form of loss, be it falling for a scam or even something as fundamental as entering the wrong address in a crypto transaction.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">We can be forgiven for any type of mistake or misguided decision we may have fallen victim to; after all, it is a relatively new industry. But the crypto landscape has now got twelve years of experience under its belt, pundits and enthusiasts have learned (albeit the hard way for some), and the industry has evolved. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">According to the <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=39_dy7TJD2o" target="_blank"><strong>Coin Bureau </strong></a>Guy, known for his research and impartial tutorials of all things crypto, including the traps and snags of the cryptocurrency world, for the purpose of this article, I have chosen eight of the most common and catastrophic mistakes the majority of crypto users tend to make.

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Everyone who “gets it” </strong>envisions crypto as the next sovereign financial operating system, and <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thehumanisticvaluesofcardanoandmarkethiveadivinesynergism" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive</strong></a> and <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanoblockchaintotaketheleadinscalabilitywithhydra" target="_blank"><strong>Cardano</strong></a>, are on a mission to do just that. The way it is now, the objective of many users in crypto is to make money and improve their financial situation. That is a great objective and one we all have; however, it isn’t a plan or strategy.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">A strategy is vital as it will keep you informed about your investing decisions in a relatively consistent and pre-programmed way. Two of the main approaches to consider are either <a href="https://www.ig.com/au/cryptocurrency-trading/how-to-trade-cryptocurrency" target="_blank"><strong>Trading</strong></a> which requires some technical analysis and knowledge of the markets. It curbs you from making quick and sometimes emotional decisions when trading particular coins. The other is <a href="https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Hodl" target="_blank"><strong>Hodling</strong></a>;</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">More often, newbies starting out prefer to hold their crypto in a safe wallet. Hodling your chosen crypto will set you up for more long-term gains. Deviating from well-thought-out plans most often result in loss and heartbreak, as confusing changes can make it more challenging to know why your investments are not going according to plan. </span></span></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">2 - Choosing The Wrong Exchange</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>So many have lost</strong> all their funds by simply choosing an exchange which turned out to be a scam. As the crypto market is still deemed the wild west, there are 100s of new exchanges springing up, with some having very questionable business practices. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">There are many legitimate exchanges out there, and a little research to find a safe and trustworthy exchange is needed and will pay off in the long run. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It is becoming more apparent that the paid ads on crypto new sites are not impartial. Checking the forums at <a href="https://www.reddit.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Reddit</strong></a> or <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/" target="_blank"><strong>BitcoinTalk</strong></a> can be an excellent way to see if there are worrisome trends regarding an exchange. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">You need to make sure the exchange has the coins or tokens you want to trade. You can find this information on either <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" target="_blank"><strong>CoinMarketCap</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en" target="_blank"><strong>CoinGecko</strong></a>. They are all easily verifiable on these sites. Also, verify that the exchange allows your country’s currency. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Another thing to consider is if the exchange has restrictive policies for withdrawal procedures and if the interface is user-friendly. And watch out for those fees - From the trading fees to the deposit and withdrawal fees, they can vary and be quite expensive and certainly add up over time. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">3 - Not Securely Storing Your Crypto</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>There are many stories</strong> with unfortunate outcomes simply because crypto newbies chose to hodl and store all their coins on an exchange. It’s been notoriously easy to hack an exchange resulting in enormous losses for the exchange and customers. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Having a small amount in an exchange is ok, but for people with large portfolios, <a href="https://youtu.be/_t3Brlb0qzQ" target="_blank"><strong>hardware wallets</strong></a> are recommended and are the safest way to keep your coins from remote attacks by hackers. This is predominantly for crypto enthusiasts who want to hodl their diverse range of altcoins and, of course, for the Bitcoin pioneers that were smart enough to gather their BTC all those years ago. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Crypto projects built on their own blockchain will have their own wallet apps, which can be considered safe to Hodl and transact. Like ADA on the Cardano Blockchain, ERC20 on the Ethereum Blockchain, and Hivecoin on the Markethive Blockchain. Another big plus for hodlers is that staking is also available via these apps.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It’s crucial to make regular backups of all your seed words on paper. You will also want to make sure that you have backups of exchange passwords and two-factor authentication seeds.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><br />

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"> Are you aware that when activating your two-factor authentication, there is a backup code to reset your two-factor connection if you lose your phone? The only other way to reconnect to a new phone is a complicated and arduous verification process through the exchange. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">So be sure to write down all the codes and phrases in the order they are given to you, and keep them hidden in a safe location. (Don't be like me and forget where you put them :D) Some have even opted to store them in a safe deposit box, especially those with large portfolios. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"> 5 - Sending Funds To Wrong Address </span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Sending crypto to a crypto exchange</strong> on an unsupported blockchain is one of the most common mistakes. Too many newbies send funds to the wrong address as they do not check whether that particular crypto is listed on the exchange. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">You always need to make sure that you are sending that crypto to the correctly supported chain. There are also distinct differences in the address of the various cryptocurrencies. Once the funds have been sent to the address, it cannot be recovered in most cases. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>For example,</strong> Ethereum: prefix is <em>0x32Be3</em>, and Bitcoin: begins with the number <em>1, 3, or bc1</em>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Cardano has three types of addresses - Icarus-style: Starts with <em>Ae2</em>, Daedalus-style: Starts with <em>DdzFF</em>, and the Shelly Era begins with <em>addr1</em>. Notably, Daedalus shows an error message if you input an address that is not valid (for instance, when using an address from a different network.)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">It is advised to make a test transaction with a smaller amount to ensure that all is working correctly and that it is being picked up on the other end. </span></span></p>

Also, don’t disclose the name of your wallet or where you have your hard wallet stored. There have also been cases of people asking for help on forums revealing their worth. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Many brag about their good fortune showing screenshots of their wallet balances on social media. It’s surprising how much information can be gleaned from your social media profiles by potential scammers.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Not a good idea - No one needs to know how much you have or where you have it, and when you do this, you open yourself up to a robbery or worse.

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>The most common mistake</strong> of them all is falling for a scam. We’ve all been there. But despite how far the crypto industry has evolved, there are still many scams infesting the crypto space. They range from Ponzi schemes to giveaways, pump and dumps to phishing attacks, and that’s another whole other article which I haven't written yet, or you can cut to the chase and <a href="https://youtu.be/AFhSf0l_aQQ" target="_blank"><strong>watch this</strong></a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Some are blatant and can be spotted easily; others are more subtle and can be very convincing. Like everything else, scammers are evolving and adapting and have even conned people who think they have a handle on these scams and are immune to them. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">All these scams follow are similar modus operandi. They all appeal to either greed or your fear and expect you to make a quick decision without thinking things through, and of course, there will always be newbies that are oblivious or walk around with rose-colored glasses that will be ripe for the picking. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Not DYOR is one of the most fundamental pitfalls</strong> people tend to make and the most underrated investment edge. Most rely on tips from others which can lead to disastrous results. DYOR enables you to take ownership over your investment decisions, and just maybe, you will uncover those <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivemakinghistoryinsocialmarketmediaandblockchain" target="_blank"><strong>hidden gems</strong></a> quietly coming up through the ranks. It also improves your long-term education in the crypto landscape. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Watching interviews with the founders and CEOs of a cryptocurrency project is an excellent way to understand and measure its potential. Also, reading a company’s blog is usually sufficient to get a sense of being true to its word, transparency, and where the project is headed. Checking out the white paper and road map to see if milestones are being met is also a must. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">To be considered a sound investment, a cryptocurrency must have the following criteria;</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The project has a real-world use case or one that solves a real-world problem. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The use case is easy for the average person to understand and see where the value is.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The project has a functioning product that has seen decent adoption. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">The crypto must have robust <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-tokenomics" target="_blank"><strong>tokenomics</strong></a> and <a href="https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/allocation" target="_blank"><strong>token allocations</strong></a>.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Also, the market cap of at least a few hundred million dollars with good exchange support and ample trading volume once a coin is listed on reputable exchanges. Be mindful, however, that the coins in circulation are distributed across the community, and not held by the founders or a few large investors only. This is generally a red flag. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Notably, given the various utility and technological advancements of Smart contract coins, they are an extremely viable prospect going forward. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Tread carefully with coins that have no purpose for utility. Dogecoin, for example, was created out of a meme as a joke by two guys, Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.

<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><em>“The original intent was a parody of all the serious clone coins that were trying so hard to differentiate themselves, but all seemed the same”</em>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com.au/dogecoin-go-back-down-right-now-price-livee-billy-markus-2021-4?r=US&IR=T" target="_blank"><strong>Marcus said</strong></a>. He added that it is one of the most volatile assets on the market. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Community is integral to a project, and although the community has grown with Dogecoin, it seems the main thrust is the novelty and the power of social media and endorsements. Having no genuine use-case gives rise to pump and dumps and chronic manipulation. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Elon Musk, a recent Doge fan, advocating and tweeting about the clone coin, resulted in a parabolic shift in the price. Since the <a href="https://gizmodo.com/this-is-the-elon-musk-dogecoin-moment-the-fanboys-were-1846855598" target="_blank"><strong>SNL parody</strong></a> featuring Elon Musk, the coin tanked, revealing the volatility and manipulation whales and celebrities can invoke. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Charles Hoskinson, CEO of Cardano, spoke about <a href="https://youtu.be/rM9DWe3-glg" target="_blank"><strong>Doge in a recent video</strong></a> and his concerns for legalities and enforcement that can negatively affect the crypto industry due to market mania. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">One of the founders of Dogecoin, Jackson Palmer, left the project, <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/9kng57/dogecoin-my-joke-cryptocurrency-hit-2-billion-jackson-palmer-opinion" target="_blank"><strong>citing his concerns</strong></a> about the space being overrun by opportunists looking to make a buck rather than people investing in evolving the technology.</span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">The Bigger Picture</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>It’s crucial to take a step back</strong> and look at the bigger picture. The cryptocurrency market is still relatively new and has a lot of growth to come. Most of us have missed the Bitcoin bullet train of ten years ago, but there are <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/giantblockchaincryptoprojectfirstin100decentralizedsocialmarketmedia" target="_blank"><strong>gems out there</strong></a> going the extra mile, staying a step ahead and constantly evolving with emerging technology, addressing real-world issues that will give you a good return on your investment and make a sustainable, long-standing difference in the global economy. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Not just for the fun of it, but for the good and well-being of all humanity and securing a sustainable and prosperous future. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Cryptocurrencies have many use cases.</strong> Some act as a store of value, others power <strong>blockchain</strong> to make it possible to create trustless digital contracts and permissionless decentralized applications. Some cryptocurrencies are pegged to fiat currency allowing for stable transfers of value, and some underpin protocols that offer decentralized data storage and video streaming. </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Each of these use cases requires a particular set of blockchain attributes and economic incentives. Many say that there is no single cryptocurrency project that can do it all; however, there is one that comes very close in a field that has been, for the most part, put in the too-hard basket by the majority. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><br />

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Who Dares Wins </span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Markethive is a monolithic blockchain project</strong> currently operating as a social network, an entire inbound marketing platform with email, blogging, and digital media capabilities that broadcast to the vast internet. It’s a complete <em>Market Network</em> and the first of its kind. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Markethive is predominantly a free system where users can access a platform that can cost more than $2,500 offered by other marketing platforms. There are, of course, upgrades that open up more tools and monetization opportunities, the first being the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveentrepreneuroneupgradeexplained"><strong>Entrepreneur One Loyalty Program</strong></a>, and coming soon is the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivesapprenticeplatformexplainedblog" target="_blank"><strong>Apprentice membership</strong></a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The many domains Markethive has, and it's autonomous cloud systems that ensure its sovereignty and longevity make it untouchable and immune from the tech giants’ rule and biased agender. But can still remotely infiltrate the social media platforms and reach the multitudes either locked in or looking for an <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/theenginepowerofmarkethive" target="_blank"><strong>alternative meritocratic medium</strong></a>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">In other words, wherever you go, Markethive is there, anywhere and everywhere, delivering its message via its community of entrepreneurs to a far-reaching audience. This next-generation social market media is poised in the wings, and when the time is right, it will emerge as a shining light to lift people up and bring financial sovereignty and hope in this gloomy and uncertain world. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The video platform, conference rooms, and the unique four specific news feeds currently in development, and many other projects and incentives add to the credibility and need for an ecosystem in the social media and digital marketing space. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Now in the final stages of BETA, Markethive will officially launch with the release of its first <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/kycwalletmhvyourquestionsanswered" target="_blank"><strong>crypto exchange wallet</strong></a>, which is basically a portal to the many coin exchanges MHV will be listed on, and is close at hand. (Not to be confused with our <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/themarkethivewalletappcomingsoon" target="_blank"><strong>Dapp multi-functional wallet</strong></a> in development). </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Meanwhile, the growing user base is accumulating their Markethive Coins (MHV) in anticipation of the release when they will be able to transact using MHV within the Markethive system and externally.</span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What Sets MHV Apart?</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The Markethive platform</strong> enables the users to earn MHV cryptocurrency with everything they do on the platform and are also paid for their loyalty. <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/themarkethivevaultunlockyourpotential" target="_blank"><strong>The Vault</strong></a> is an innovative concept that allows <strong>Markethive</strong> members to stake their coins, similar to a bank account. The more coins held in your vault the higher the micropayments received, and then there’s the monthly interest paid to you based on the number of coins in your coin clip.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The company issues these micropayments, incentives, and rewards, not just the users, which is commonplace and the only form of payment in other crypto-based platforms. However, Markethive does have a tipping protocol the people can utilize if they wish and substitutes the like button. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It isn’t only a social media network or inbound marketing platform; it lends itself to the cottage industry concept allowing members to monetize the various initiatives <em>Markethive</em> is developing, starting the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/bannerimpressionsexchangereview" target="_blank"><strong>Banner Impressions Exchange</strong></a>. It’s also where entrepreneurs can facilitate and promote their personal businesses to a built-in audience as well as a springboard to the far regions of the internet. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">In Markethive’s all-encompassing ecosystem, the objective for the Markethive Coin (MHV) is to be utilized as a form of payment rather than just selling it (pump and dump scenario). This gives a purpose and real use case for MHV, equalizing the velocity, and increasing coin value. </span></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Bitcoin has established itself as a store of value that affects the value of most other altcoins, albeit positively or negatively at any given time. However, if a coin or project’s use case and utility are credible, it can result in a parabolic shift, increasing in price, without riding on Bitcoin’s coattails. </span></span></em></p>

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Markethive Blockchain On Cardano Platform</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Recently, Markethive decided</strong> to migrate to the Cardano Blockchain platform from the Ethereum platform for several reasons <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanoblockchaintotaketheleadinscalabilitywithhydra" target="_blank"><strong>explained in the article</strong></a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The <em>Cardano blockchain</em> platform enables Markethive the advanced capabilities to produce the distributed database system that Markethive needs to ensure all data that the extensive user base inherently creates in a social media environment are safely integrated and stored on the blockchain. This includes all forms of content, videos, images, etc.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">A mammoth task for a blockchain, and also not conducive for an established social media platform like Facebook with its trillions upon trillions of data already in its system. Markethive conceived and initiated this blockchain protocol from the ground up making it easier to integrate. We just had to wait for the right technology to surface. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Thanks to <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/evolvingtechnologychallengesthestatusquo" target="_blank"><strong>technology evolution</strong></a>, the Markethive social market network’s ability to build a massive database management blockchain can only be done on a 3rd generation blockchain platform like Cardano. Fundamentally, the Markethive blockchain will be forked off the <strong>Cardano blockchain</strong>, with MHV being a native token which is a fungible multi-asset token. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Native tokens represent value and act as an accounting unit, which can be used for payments and transactions and sent to an exchange address. Native means that these tokens are supported by the Cardano accounting ledger without the need for additional smart contracts, as the ledger features built-in support to track ownership and transfer of more than one type of asset.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/GIANT.BLOCKCHAIN.CRYPTO.PROJECT/FIRST-CLASS-CITIZEN.png" style="height:311px; width:600px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Markethive Coin - A First-Class Citizen</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Cardano’s <a href="https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/04/08/smart-contracts-%E2%80%93-here-we-come/" target="_blank">Mary Hard Fork</a>,</strong> conducted on March 1st, 2021, saw the introduction of native assets to the Cardano Blockchain. This means MHV can be built into the blockchain ledger the same way Cardano’s native token, ADA, makes MHV a first-class citizen. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">In other words, MHV will receive the full benefits of the Cardano blockchain, such as the same level of safety and security as ADA itself and eventually a governance system as it rolls out.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The first-class citizen approach will mean Cardano’s multi-currency ledger will give much more autonomy to any token(s) made on the blockchain. They won’t be another cookie-cutter token like the ERC-20 token.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">This design will make it easier for tokens built on Cardano to be listed on exchanges as they will be able to prove a greater degree of independence than ERC-20 tokens. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The protocol also allows multiple native assets within the same transaction, unlike Ethereum, where it is only possible to send one ERC-20 token at a time. You will also be able to use native assets to pay transaction fees made possible by the recently announced <a href="https://iohk.io/blog/posts/2021/02/25/babel-fees/" target="_blank"><strong>Babel Fees mechanism</strong></a> currently in development. By contrast, you need ETH to send any ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Ethereum blockchain issues tokens through a custom coded smart contract, which issues a non-native token. This token won't have all the advantages of Ethereum, and you have to pay for smart contract execution every time you move your token. This is why people complain about Ethereum fees being so high. It's not very efficient, leaving the door open for human error when coding smart contracts.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The low cost in transactional fees and the increased throughput into the thousands make Cardano blockchain a favorite in future generation blockchains. A sustainable, scalable financial operating system is becoming a reality. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">MHV Remains The Same As It Ever Was</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>It’s important to understand</strong> that the Markethive coin remains the same and will not affect any current or future operations of the Markethive system. You still keep your MHV coins you are accumulating. It's the blockchain technology behind Markethive that is changing for the better. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/theincentivizedloanprogramilpapowerfulwaytospreadthewealth" target="_blank"><strong>ILP smart contracts</strong></a> that some entrepreneurs in Markethive have recognized the value of and acquired will work seamlessly in the background on the Markethive blockchain forked off Cardano, all the while the MHV will be used as a medium of exchange and will continually be circulating, earned and accumulated by users within the Markethive economy.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It allows us to be completely decentralized financially with complete autonomy and protection of our intellectual property, ascertaining a viable and comprehensive ecosystem. This bodes exceptionally well for the Markethive ecosystem and will benefit all who participate in it. Essentially the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thehumanisticvaluesofcardanoandmarkethiveadivinesynergism"><strong>Markethive ecosystem</strong></a> will have its own financial operating system within the new global financial operating system envisioned by Cardano. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">This is a very advanced technology Markethive is integrating at which no other platform is doing or will attempt to do. It is a vast undertaking and needs to be done right so security is not compromised, on all levels, hence the methodical and time-consuming approach. Markethive is incomparable to any other media platform and although touted it that couldn’t be done, is, in fact, 90% done. </span></span></p>

<h1><b>Markethive | KYC, WALLET, MHVcoin - Your Questions Answered</b></h1>
<p><img height="330" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MARKETHIVE.ARTICLES/KYC.MHV.WALLET.EXPLAINED/KYC-MHV-WALLET-EXPLAINED-1.png" width="640" /></p>
<p><br />
<b>As we move closer</b> to one of the most significant milestones of Markethive yet, I would like to touch on a few topics that the more recent members of Markethive may not know or be aware of. Questions and queries are continuously being asked about subjects relating to <b>KYC</b>, the value of our coin (<b>MHV</b>), and exchanges. </p>
<p>Below, I explain some critical factors and clear up some misinformation and assumed expectations of a few that may have been misled. </p>
<p><img height="256" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MARKETHIVE.ARTICLES/KYC.MHV.WALLET.EXPLAINED/MH-LOGIN-KYC-MHV-1.png" width="640" /></p>
<h2><br />
<b>What Is KYC? (Know Your Customer)</b></h2>
<p><b>"Know Your Customer" (KYC)</b> refers to detailed and authenticated information required by banks and financial institutions and first introduced in the 1990s. Today it's applied to a wide range of business sectors, especially online businesses.</p>
<p>According to Wikipedia, Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process of a business verifying its clients' identity. <i>KYC</i> policies mandated by regulators globally are becoming progressively essential to prevent identity theft fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. </p>
<p>The process was once a simple one but now becoming an expensive nightmare for organizations and their customers due to compliance costs and the increasingly long time to complete the customer onboarding process.</p>
<p>As more companies begin to intensify their customer identification security policies, technology has provided us with biometrics for KYC management. The use of biometric identification management technology for accurate customer identity verification has proven to deliver efficiency and convenience for organizations and comply with government regulations to prevent identity theft and money laundering. </p>
<p>Biometrics use intrinsic data, allowing for immutable identification and verification of people, and is fast and straightforward. Like face recognition and fingerprints, this inherent data is the way to go when accessing wallet apps on smartphones. </p>
<h2><br />
<b>The Genesis Of MHV Revisited </b></h2>
<p><b>Let's revisit </b>for a moment a little bit of the history with the Markethive Coin. Established in 2018 with the micropayments faucet system released in January 2019 into the Markethive system. In March 2019, Markethive took the next step and listed <i>MHV</i> onto its first exchange, Raisex.io, and was subsequently listed on <a href="https://coinranking.com/" target="_blank"><b>coinranking.com</b></a>, a cryptocurrency information site. </p>
<p>However, it wasn't long after the raisex exchange collapsed, but MHV is still listed on the Coinranking info site. Coinranking insists on keeping MHV recorded while Markethive moves forward to establish MHV on more high profile coin exchanges. Coinranking will then show MHV as listed on these alternate exchanges, and the actual value of <b>MHV coin</b> will be realized.</p>
<h2><br />
<b>The Value Of MHV</b></h2>
<p><b>Right now, MHV's</b> price is coinciding and fluctuating with the price of Bitcoin and, as explained above, is a failed report of a dead exchange, <b>so for the benefit of the newer members</b>, it's currently not listed on a live exchange to date. The value of MHV can not be officially determined until our wallet is released and the exchanges we will be listed on have achieved equilibrium. In other words, demand and supply are considered to be in a steady-state.<br />
<br />
Currently, MHV can only be utilized internally with the Banner Impressions Exchange (BIX), whereby you can purchase impressions with MHV. Or if a Markethive Associate offers a product or service accepting MHV as payment. There will be many services and products (such as The Blast, to be released soon) that you will be able to purchase with MHV and only with MHV, including ILPs. It's what an ecosystem is all about. </p>
<p>When the Markethive multi-purpose wallet is rolled out, along with the exchanges, Markethive will be listing its coin on (to be announced) will mean you can buy and sell MHV, thereby creating equilibrium and value in a free and open market. </p>

<h2><br />
<b>What Are You Waiting For?</b></h2>
<p><b>Every savvy online entrepreneur</b> knows that when it comes to technology, setting a deadline or an actual date for the release can be misleading and is difficult due to its complex nature; however, we can project a timeline. The Markethive Wallet and exchanges are on the table, ready for release when the timing is right, as there are numerous facets to consider. </p>
<p>Instead of waiting to join Markethive until the wallet is released or proven, join now and be ready. A growing number of social media users and marketers are fed up with the likes of mainstream social media with their dubious agendas and the tyranny it continues to dish out. Also, paying way too much for access to expensive SaaS marketing platforms. </p>
<p>All should embrace Markethive and accumulate as many MHV as possible before its debut on the worldwide free market. It's close and will be an opportunity for long-term prosperity, so you won't want to miss out. </p>
<p>First, receive the MHV coin airdrop for just joining Markethive. Next, refer three people to activate your <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethive-embraces-crypto-faucet-technology--everyone-benefits" target="_blank"><b>micropayments</b></a> and earn MHV for every activity you perform on the Markethive platform after that. </p>
<p>That's a great start; then, by taking the time to learn how the blockchain-driven social media and inbound marketing market network works, you will be busy, having fun in the collaborative, free-thinking environment while earning income! </p>
<p>Instead of giving away your content and hard work to the social media platforms that make money off you, why not have the platform pay you? That's what you get from Markethive, along with all the tools you need to build your business and acquire a brand presence. </p>

<h2><b> A Visionary's Life's Work With A Mission At Markethive</b></h2>
<p><b>CE0 & Founder of Markethive, <a href="https://markethive.com/marketing" target="_blank">Thomas Prendergast</a>,</b> a passionate Entrepreneur by nature, declared,</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i><b> "I'm put on this earth to empower and bring prosperity to every living soul with a purpose. Even if that purpose is only to be free from the shackles of the Social Media tyranny we all face, this is a new era with the evolution of technology. It is the next generation of Social Media and Market Networks." </b></i></p>
</blockquote>
<p><br />
Mr. Prendergast added,</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i><b>"I am fully committed to building the members of Markethive into huge success stories. This is my way of helping make this world a little bit brighter and helping the struggling entrepreneur to have a lot more advantages to reach their goals".</b></i></p>
</blockquote>
<h2><br />
<br />
<b>The Release Of The Wallet Will Be In Stages</b></h2>
<p>The wallet will be released in four phases: (The first phase is projected to roll out sometime this month.)</p>
<p><b>Phase 1: </b>The Entrepreneur One associates will have access to their wallets with no limits on transactions or the number of MHV coins per day. </p>
<p><b>Phase 2:</b> The Apprentice Membership associates wallets, limited transactions - to be advised </p>
<p><b>Phase 3:</b> Activated free members wallets, limited transactions - 1 MHV coin per day</p>
<p><b>Phase 4:</b> Entry-level free members wallets, limited transactions - 0.1 MHV coin per day. </p>
<p><b>All members will be required to submit and be approved via a KYC process (Know Your Customer.) For free members, that will incur a cost of US$20. </b></p>
<p><i>The above schedule is subject to change and is required to protect Markethive and its coin from shills and pump and dump scenarios. </i></p>
<p>Markethive is an ecosystem for entrepreneurs, not a pump and dump, like so many speculative coins on the market, with numerous failing miserably due to the lack of protocol and integrity. </p>
<p> </p>
<h2><b>The Apprentice Program And The Unleashing Of Markethive</b></h2>
<p><b>The Apprentice Program </b>is just about there, ready to be integrated into the Markethive system, which means free members can go to the next level at a minimal cost and have access to more services and be ready for the Phase 2 wallet release. </p>
<p>The Apprentice membership is for the masses, aspiring entrepreneurs, and marketers looking to earn an income in a meritocratic and sovereign environment. <br />
<br />
Markethive's multidimensional wallet is a POS wallet, a Mining Wallet (through MH faucet systems and Bounty Program), a private KYC/AML authentication provider, and a secured messaging system - ALL IN ONE.<br />
This multidimensional wallet will not only preserve, protect and grow your coins through a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/themarkethivevaultunlockyourpotential" target="_blank"><b>Proof of Stake function</b></a>, but it will also provide you 100% control of your private KYC/AML (<a href="https://www.ipqualityscore.com/articles/view/43/what-is-kyc-verification-guide-everything-you-need-to-know" target="_blank"><b>Know Your Customer/ Anti-Money Laundering</b></a>) information. It is also a secure messaging portal. </p>
<p><i>This multi-functional wallet is part of Markethive's proprietary Intellectual Property. </i></p>
<p>Within the local and app-based wallet, you will store MHV coins and other top coins like BTC, ETH, etc. You will also be able to upload your KYC documents into your device and only release a READ ONLY view of them at authentication time, with your approval; 100% under your control. </p>
<p>Markethive will never store your private information; an authentication code will be held in Markethive's Blockchain. The secure messaging portal will also be integrated into Markethive's cloud ecosystem and take full advantage of the groups and folder technology.</p>

<br />
<br />
<b>Culture Of Integrity</b></h2>
<p><b>What we are building here</b> in Markethive is a culture of integrity, eliminating duplicate or fake accounts and hackers. Furthermore, as Markethive is built on the Blockchain it's not centralized information. </p>
<p>Once the system has verified you, your information is placed in your wallet, and only you receive the Key to that wallet. It belongs to you, and no one else has access to your information or <b>MHV</b> coins you accumulate by using the platform, including Markethive - the company. </p>
<p>When Markethive implements the wallets, the KYC protocol will be mandatory for every member. In the past, for any company, it was commonplace for us to scan and upload a utility bill, passport, or drivers' license when asked for verification. Organizations in the online world now require a much more verifiable course of action.</p>
<p>A photo with you holding your drivers' license or some form of identity card and a signed piece of paper with Markethive with the date written on it next to your face is a foolproof way to authenticate. It will secure your identity, account, and any transactions you administer within the Markethive system. </p>
<p>A video stating who you are may be implemented and will be another level to the whole KYC process, ensuring your peace of mind and Markethive. </p>
<h2><br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b></h2>
<p><b>Implementing live </b>and recorded video calls while scanning and comparing photo ID (govt identity cards, passport, utility bill, and bank statements) between you and Markethive adds a verification level. When combined with the SMS code and Social Networked OAUTH that was executed when first registering to the Markethive Network, delivers a real person, not a clone or a fake sock puppet. </p>
<p>This more in-depth KYC protocol is a step up from web 2.0. It is the next generation where privacy, security, and autonomy are of the utmost priority, with Markethive leading the way on its mission to deliver a Social Market Network of the highest integrity. </p>
<p>There's still time to upgrade to <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveentrepreneuroneupgradeexplained" target="_blank"><b>Entrepreneur One</b></a> and be privy to the complete Markethive system that can be described as a cottage industry with money machines that champions everything else out there. You will be one of Markethive's early adopters and have a rare opportunity to cement your future of self-sovereignty. </p>
<p><i><b>Come with us as we make our way through the final stages of BETA, building the foundation and on the road to realizing the full potential of Markethive and you. </b></i></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>Evolution </b></span></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>is the operative word</b> poignant to every living thing and inanimate object on the planet. One of the fastest evolving elements I’ve seen in my lifetime is in the field of technology. We’ve seen more growth and emergence in technology in the last 100 years than in all the centuries leading up to today, and it’s accelerating. It has undoubtedly created a faster pace, more convenient, and comfortable lifestyle. The one thing that is still around is the age-old oligarchal type monopolies, wielding their clout, but for how long? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Digital technology stems from divine inspiration. When used correctly for the betterment of humanity, it is a beautiful thing; however, we’ve all been subject to nefarious activity driven by greed, power, and control. Like everything else, technology must evolve, or it becomes obsolete eventually. The issues that have manifested and become problematic give rise to emerging technologies to counter them. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Since the dawn of the internet, we have seen a consistent evolution in technology. One example is Yahoo back in 1994, providing a web portal, search engine with related services including email, finance, video sharing, etc. Then the MySpace social network came on the scene in 2005, surpassing Yahoo and even Google in 2006. But in 2009, MySpace was overtaken by Facebook globally. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Falling From Grace</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>Complacency or the attitude</b> of “too big to fail” can often be the demise of a successful organization. Ongoing research and development is a must to stay at the forefront. I also believe a company’s values, ethics, and purpose for the higher good play a prominent role, especially in the current circumstances being experienced worldwide. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Many may think that Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and a few others are here to stay as they have a dominant position in the market; however, it’ll be because they improve technology and evolve if they remain. Being number one in the market is not automatic, nor is it free. It takes money to develop technologies along with marketing to retain users. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">That might seem doable for these tech giants, but what of their underlying agendas and motivations? Can or will a conglomerate evolve spiritually and humanistically? Or have they fallen into the ego trap giving them a false sense of security? Will they survive in a world of enlightened human beings? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">History tells us that competitors, at some level, can overtake large organizations, and now it is more critical than ever that people feel safe, secure, and free from the violations that have become so commonplace in the online space. Evolution on every level is the key to survival in the world of digital technologies. Evolution is not static; it is a dynamic process. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Evolution in the technological world is fast becoming a revolution; A battle between good and evil, a tug of war between humility and ego drive. It may have been enough to surpass the top dog with only better technology in the past, but now it’s crunch time. The advent of the third millennium gives rise to the evolution of the human spirit, and altruistic motives need to be present in the next tech giant. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Getting back to the technology side of things, users also desire the best in available technology. In the context of the digital world, people expect everything to happen in seconds and be very cheap, if not completely free. There’s also the need to have fewer entrance barriers, the better. It must be readily available, reliable, and user-friendly, and now we can add privacy, autonomy, and free speech to the list of needs that are fundamental human rights. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The status quo of social and digital media, even marketing platforms, leaves a lot to be desired. Can they evolve in order to keep their top position? Are they in too deep and unable or unwilling to implement emerging technologies such as decentralized blockchain? </span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Ecosystems Are Evolutionary</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>Evolution is a must</b> and a natural process, and it’s no different when it comes to digital media. A few attempts have been made at creating an alternative to the tech giants that currently monopolize the online environment with cancel culture being the new order. We presently see a balkanization with many linear platforms in the mix. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Just as the planet is an entire and complete ecosystem, we are now experiencing ecosystems in technology. This is an evolution in itself and is required if a platform is to be sustainable. <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/blockchainknowledgeispowerwisdomispowerwithapurpose" target="_blank"><b>Blockchain</b></a> and crypto technology has made it possible for an innovative company or platform to develop a system from the ground up, which will solve many controversial issues plaguing social media today. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">At the forefront is <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/serialinnovatorsholdalltheacesthedifferentdimensionsofinnovationexplained" target="_blank"><b>Markethive</b></a>, a complete ecosystem for the online user, be it social, professional, inbound marketing, commercial, artistic, or entrepreneurs from all walks of life, where every individual is empowered financially, professionally, and personally. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveastepaheadoftyrannicalbigtech" target="_blank"><b>Markethive, the Social Market Broadcasting Network</b></a>, is constantly evolving, providing creative solutions and a sanctuary from the chaos of the internet. Blockchain technology has made it possible for Markethive to become the first completely decentralized social network, giving it the edge over technologies and systems of previous generations, including humanitarian values so desperately needed right now. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Evolution of Money</span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>Paper money and coins</b> are not the only money we use today. Money has evolved into a digital form using internet banking for transferring money and credit or debit cards. More and more people are using the internet for their banking needs. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The banks are notorious for working at a snail’s pace and are not the best information technology innovators, so they evolve slowly. The trust factor has also become precarious. This has brought forth an evolution in decentralized blockchain technology that has a real potential to disrupt traditional banking, digital or otherwise. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Cryptocurrency technologies can disrupt financial services, with the probability of becoming money and a store of value. Further technical development and evolution will see this happen to rival legacy banking and fiat currency with its hyperinflation. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">From a technological standpoint, money needs to evolve. The development of technologies needs to be a dynamic process, but the monetary base can and should be static. That means assets used as a store of value necessitate a fixed or predictable number of units. A predictable inflation rate is required with money when used as units of account and means of exchange. The inflation rate should be kept very low, and theoretically, it could even be at zero. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Cryptocurrency Evolution </span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>Cryptocurrency technology </b>must continue to evolve to become a viable alternative to traditional banking. There are now thousands of altcoins in the crypto space, many created by opportunists jumping on the bandwagon with no real purpose. They generate a coin for the sake of a coin with nothing substantial underpinning it. The outcome is a static one gaining no real value because their utility is limited or non-existent due to lack of development and foresight. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Even Bitcoin has not evolved. Its progress in technology is plodding. Although we see much more awareness within the community now, even institutions invest in Bitcoin; it has its drawbacks and issues. It is not as decentralized as many think or expect. The PoW (Proof of Work) team behind Bitcoin is at odds with each other when issues arise. This stunts growth and evolution. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">However, Bitcoin is becoming an established store of value, and people are reluctant to tamper with it for fear of breaking anything. So it sits there, recognized as being the first crypto, allowing others to evolve, addressing the problems, finding solutions, and making it an all-around better experience for users. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Bitcoin doesn’t have smart contracts and probably never will have. Ethereum came out with a smart contract protocol that is now experiencing bugs and human error in their PoW system. People have lost money as it has severe security issues and now very high gas (transaction) fees. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The smart contract concept is very sound but needs to evolve and be better executed. Ethereum has realized this and declared it would integrate a PoS protocol. This is a huge undertaking and will take time, so of course, no timeline has been given as yet, to when this will take place. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Bitcoin and Ethereum are not the be-all and end-all of cryptocurrency and smart contracts; it’s just the beginning. Evolution is in full swing with Cardano, having identified the issues that have manifested, working <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanothe3rdgenerationblockchain" target="_blank"><b>methodically, scientifically, and philosophically </b></a>to create a fully decentralized blockchain PoS (Proof of Stake) platform and also become a better alternative to traditional banks or make them more fair and transparent. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Evolution Of Decentralization</span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>But it’s not only about smart contracts.</b> It’s also about the evolution of the quality of decentralization. Blockchain is the technology; decentralization is the movement. Relying on the PoW protocol is becoming doubtful and expensive! PoS allows for a more decentralized and scalable network. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Let’s be honest. The current most extensive networks Bitcoin and Ethereum have costly fees. Expensive fees kill the usability of networks. Maybe it’s tolerable to pay a high fee when you use Bitcoin as a store of value and only make one transaction a month. We need to be able to afford to transact anytime, all the time, if we want a proper global payment system. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Just the other day, I sent $10 worth of Bitcoin and paid more than double that in fees! We can have a global decentralized network with cheap and fast transactions. It is a natural evolution of technologies: no magic, just pure math and science.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://cardano.org/" target="_blank"><b>Cardano</b></a> can be thought of as a kind of insurance that can and is building a fully decentralized, stable, and scalable network regardless of what will happen with Bitcoin.<br />
What About The Environment?<br />
How much thought has gone into the impact on the global environment? We see the environmental impact of PoW (Proof of Work) like Bitcoin and other altcoins that use this model which consumes massive amounts of electricity. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Why? Because this type of consensus mechanism needs an excessive amount of computational power with hardware devices that are expensive to buy and more expensive to run. The cryptographic algorithm that the miners must solve is complicated, and the power consumption used by Bitcoin recently estimated is more than that of the whole of Argentina. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">And what type of electricity are they using? Will they continue with fossil fuels, or will they commandeer renewable energy resources? Either way, it leads to unfathomable repercussions. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="https://cbeci.org/" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/EVOLVING.TECH.CHALLENGES.STATUS.QUO/Screenshot-2021-04-05-113741.png" style="height: 492px; width: 600px;" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">According <a href="https://cbeci.org/cbeci/comparisons" target="_blank"><b>to this site</b></a>, a single transaction of bitcoin has the same carbon footprint as 680,000 Visa transactions or 51,210 hours of watching YouTube.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Not only is PoW considered unhealthy for the environment, but it also slows down the rate of cryptocurrency adoption in the real world, as electricity bills can only be paid with fiat currency. There are also scalability issues as Bitcoin can only process seven transactions per second, and Ethereum comes in second place, transacting at only fifteen.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Bitcoin advocates have clearly expressed that they believe any environmental costs induced by mining Bitcoin via PoW are worth the broader implications it could have on society. Evolution in technology will prove there does not need to be any type of trade-off between cryptocurrency and the environment. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">This is where the PoS (Proof of Stake) method comes into play. The cost-effectiveness is extensive compared with PoW. It guarantees that much less electricity is used to mine cryptocurrency and verify transactions. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Furthermore, the speed and number of transactions (scalability) increase thousandfold making it a<a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanoblockchaintotaketheleadinscalabilitywithhydra" target="_blank"><b> far better option</b></a> for mainstream adoption. The <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardano-solving-problems-the-three-elements" target="_blank"><b>Cardano blockchain platform</b></a> has effectively solved the three elements of the scalability issue: Throughput (Transactions per second), Network, and Data scaling. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/thehumanisticvaluesofcardanoandmarkethiveadivinesynergism" target="_blank"><b>Markethive, now deploying the Cardano blockchain ecosystem</b></a>, also plans to establish many mining hives distributed globally. This will create a massive surplus in electricity and be built on 100% green energy that supports the core distributed decentralized data-based systems using dWave computers, which utilizes the advanced theoretical technology of multiple parallel universes. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Centralization Issues</span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>These powerful computational devices</b> are known as ASICs and have resulted in centralized organizations pooling their resources to buy thousands of devices that generate the highest mining power to more efficiently solve the cryptographic sum first (confirms and validates transactions). The winner gets a reward paid in Bitcoin.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The PoW system has proven to be unfair as the average individual has no chance of ever participating or competing to win the mining reward. The PoS (Proof of Stake) model prevents groups of people from joining forces to dominate the network. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Proof of Stake system essentially allows the community to contribute by buying any number of coins (although there is usually a minimum required) and holding them in a dedicated wallet. It freezes the coins where they are used to stake the network. PoS still uses a cryptographic algorithm; however, it uses a different process to confirm transactions and reach consensus.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The PoW model requires all of its miners to solve a complex equation, and the winner is usually the person or group with the most powerful and quantity of hardware. The PoS model randomly chooses the winner based on the amount they have staked. There are no block rewards; however, they get paid the transaction fee, which is determined by how much they’ve staked.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">With PoS, there is no need for expensive hardware or high electricity costs. It’s proven to be faster, and you can simply mine from a typical laptop. So, of course, this negates any centralization issues making it a more fair and equitable system for all. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>In its purest essence,</b> technological evolution is brought about by innovative ideas and creative visions sourced from divine consciousness.

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The first mover doesn’t necessarily secure its top spot in the marketplace, nor is it the best.

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">As I mentioned earlier, this millennium brings to light the humanitarian, spiritual element.

<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><b><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanoblockchaintotaketheleadinscalabilitywithhydra" target="_blank">Cardano</a> and <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivemakinghistoryinsocialmarketmediaandblockchain" target="_blank">Markethive</a></b></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> - Two systems of the next generation on the rise, making their mark on so many levels. They will eclipse big tech disrupting the monopolizing status quo that the populace has come to accept and is part of their daily lives. As the monopolies conspire on who or what they will boycott or cancel out next, Markethive and Cardano have secured themselves in a position where the oligarchs cannot manipulate them. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive, the social market network, and Cardano, the blockchain technology company, are congruent in many areas. Apart from both being blockchain projects, the spiritual, humanitarian aspect is a major common denominator with the synergistic purpose of manifesting personal and financial sovereignty, delivering freedom and connectivity to emerging countries, aligning them globally. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The blockchain projects and cryptocurrencies that have endured the “crypto winter” of 2018/19 are not the scams associated with the industry’s early days and are now positioning themselves to deliver ecosystems that are unique and evolutionary. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Both Cardano and Markethive have watched other blockchain projects follow the more Silicon Valley approach of <i>“move fast and break things,”</i> resulting in subsequent issues with security and scalability. Cardano’s prominent team has taken a notably academic and philosophical approach publishing <a href="https://iohk.io/en/research/library/" target="_blank"><b>102 peer-reviewed papers</b></a>, and <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/transferofwealthinplaycryptocurrencyupholdfinancialandselfsovereignty" target="_blank"><b>Markethive’s approach</b></a> is an innovative, holistic and evolutionary one. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Both companies are of Divine inspiration and a massive undertaking building a solid foundation for the sustainable long-term growth of sovereign ecosystems empowering societies bringing the people of the world together equitably. </span></span></p>

<h2><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 20px;">CARDANO ECOSYSTEM - Crypto ADA</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Blockchain And Defi Network</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b><a href="https://cardano.org/" target="_blank">Cardano</a> is wholly human-centered</b>, with its ultimate mission to bring innovation and scientific-based technology, creating an ecosystem that is balanced, sustainable, and focused on the needs of its users. With the numerous applications Blockchain has, Cardano’s decentralized technology enables digital payments, smart contracts, food traceability, etc., all the technology necessary for systematic change. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">One of the aspects that the Founder and CEO of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, is passionate about is using Cardano to unleash the potential of people in emerging countries. There are approximately 3 billion people “unbanked” who cannot access the infrastructures and institutions many of us take for granted. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cardano is taking its decentralized technology beyond Africa into other developing countries of South America and Asia in the food supply chain and Defi (Decentralized Finance). Charles says this technology has no owner and no central point of failure, and no one in control. Instead, it is a global infrastructure that uses the same infrastructure no matter how rich or poor you are.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A peer-to-peer lending protocol is one project of Cardano that will see a merger of markets in Ethiopia and other places with Defi. Micro banks cater to people with no bank accounts but are internet-enabled with increasing access to smartphones, building wealth, and desperately needing to globalize. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Companies and individuals that get into this Defi ecosystem are the first movers in these marketplaces that will enable Africa and other places to grow and thrive in this new economy that is honest, fair, and transparent. <i>A soulful Charles Hoskinson explains more in the video below. </i> </span></span></p>

<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Decentralization With Good Governance</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Blockchain is the enabling technology, but decentralization is the movement. Cardano is aiming to be the most decentralized platform in the world and is achieving its goal. It’s currently ranked number 5 on <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/"><b>coinmarketcap.com</b></a> and 71% of Cardano’s ADA token in circulation, with a total market capitalization of $38.7 billion at the time of this writing. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cardano has launched support for smart contracts as part of its <a href="https://roadmap.cardano.org/en/goguen/" target="_blank"><b>‘Goguen’ era</b></a>, a time when decentralization and solutions to increase trust have ostensibly never been more crucial in modern history.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">One of the reasons Charles Hoskinson ceased to work with Ethereum was a dispute over its governance structure. Cardano’s framework intends to - <i><b>marginalize none and give power to all</b></i> - through a system that incentivizes participation by individuals, and votes are immutably recorded. Hoskinson has prominently said that Cardano “will be 100 times more decentralized than Bitcoin.” </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Charles Hoskinson doesn’t dwell on price or get caught up in the short term. He says it’s more to do with the principles, vision, and a high-level goal to move from high-level to something to create real value for your token. If you have that, then the price works itself out. </span></span></p>
<p><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As Charles Hoskinson stated,</span></span></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><i><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">“There is a higher purpose and more meaning than digits on a computer screen.

<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The Markethive platform is not only a forum for free speech on a social media front but also inbound marketing, saas, blogging, email, video, and media broadcasting network built on Blockchain with its <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethive-coin-mhv-to-become-the-premier-consumer-blockchain-coin" target="_blank"><b>consumer cryptocurrency coin</b></a> (MHV). </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Wholly independent, the monolithic Markethive Network encompasses all facets of social media, inbound marketing, and digital media, making it the only platform to fully embrace an attainable sovereign income for all associates, particularly those in developing countries. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As the Markethive community grows, we see an influx of souls from all walks of life experiencing the latest aftermath of a declining economy in the so-called “real world” of governments and bureaucracy. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">A True Decentralized Social Network</span></b></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Markethive is a global company that caters to everyone.</b> We are not specific to any national identity. We have no agenda, no left or right that invokes radicalization. Markethive is a meritocracy whose heart and soul are freedom, liberty, financial sovereignty, and entrepreneurialism. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Markethive is unique with its <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/theenginepowerofmarkethive" target="_blank"><b>cottage industry concept and driven by two engines</b></a> that work simultaneously, bringing in the masses who aspire to be entrepreneurial and out from under the tyrannical pressures. Markethive runs on a decentralized network and is expanding continuously, facilitated by a dedicated team of engineers with CTO, Douglas Yates at the helm. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With Markethive’s migration to the Cardano blockchain, we’ll soon see the release of the Markethive <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/kycwalletmhvyourquestionsanswered" target="_blank"><b>multi-dimensional wallet</b></a> and MHV listed on significant coin exchanges. Then we’ll see the floodgates open. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">All the while, Markethive’s focus is to stay at the forefront of emerging technology, introducing unique and better solutions, enhancing all users’ experience, and who are the lifeblood of our entrepreneurial infrastructure. Markethive’s goal is to enrich the lives of people and humanity on every level. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Just like Cardano, where the community will direct governance, Markethive is for the people, built by the people and of the people. This rules out the inequitable and autocratic power of the few at the top and cultivates a harmonious, more transparent environment. </span></span></p>

<p><br />
<b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Founder and CEO of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast said,</span></span></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">“I got goosebumps when I became aware that Charles Hoskinson of Cardano’s passion was to bring economic sanity, stability, and entrepreneurial wealth to Africa.

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Creating And Facilitating Change In The World</span></b></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Markethive and Cardano</b> are here to create change, revive humanitarian values, working in synergy for all to have the freedom and autonomy to realize the goals, dreams, and life purpose of all individuals globally. The freedom to deviate from being just a cog in the wheel, to work, and be part of the legacy that has indoctrinated us from a young age and enslaved us to the system that looks at people as commodities and a lifestyle viewed as safe and predictable, but in essence, is restricted and soul-crushing. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The world has changed, and the point of this technology is to change how society, organizations, and companies work. How we think and make decisions, what we value, to enable people to monetize things they never thought were monetizable. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/HUMANISTIC.VALUES,CARDANO.MARKETHIVE/FREEDOM-OF-EXPRESSION-1.png" style="height: 361px; width: 700px;" /></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cardano’s blockchain can facilitate Markethive in building distributed database clouds that are controlled by the blockchain. This will enable us to develop and issue downloadable wallets apart from the exchange wallet that will be made available as the first of Markethive’s wallet integration. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It will also give us the ability to produce the type of blockchain that no social network has achieved; simply because social media platforms have so much data in terms of video, images, and content, previous blockchain generations can’t accommodate. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">You could fundamentally change the incentives behind passions and give people the means they need to pursue the things they love. What Markethive and Cardano are fundamentally doing is allowing the broader community to wake up every day and autonomously work for a cryptocurrency, knowing you are part of something much bigger where every individual can attain freedom of expression and financial sovereignty.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">People are paid to have opinions and their passions, whatever they might be; art, psychology, science, engineering, writing, or marketing, to name a few, now have the opportunity with the systems Cardano is constructing. The many diverse platforms, hubs, and portals Markethive has and will be integrating bring your work or passion to the forefront in a liberated and equitable online world. This is the mandate of Charles Hoskinson of Cardano and Thomas Prendergast of Markethive to change the world. A match made in Heaven. </span></span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Understanding The Metrics And Strategies Of Marketing </span></strong></span></h2>
<p><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>There are many facets to <a href="https://markethive.com/marcoferrari" target="_blank">Markethive</a></strong>
- It is a complete Market Network and broadcasting platform with a
Social Media interface. It has everything you need to succeed in
whatever you do online, including the potential of extra revenue made
available to Entrepreneur One (E1) associates through the first of many
upcoming money machines - <strong>The Banner Impressions Exchange</strong>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">It
is a concept and unprecedented innovation where Markethive returns 100%
of the ad-revenue into your pocket. There have been 20+ years of high
energy poured into Markethive. This is a Divine inspiration and places
all of the members of Markethive first and foremost. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">It’s been almost a year since the launch of the <em>Banner Impressions Exchange</em> (BIX), with many seeing great results on both fronts.</span></span></p>
<ol><li><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Selling impressions on the exchange.</span></span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Banner advertising campaigns</span></span></strong></li></ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Still,
many are still unfamiliar with the strategies of metrics and the unique
system Markethive offers by sharing its significant and ever-increasing
traffic with the community. Given that it’s coming up to the first
anniversary of BIX, I thought it appropriate to revise and update the
Banner Impressions Exchange features and benefits and how you can
maximize your marketing efforts by understanding the metrics.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br />
<img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BIX.STRATEGIES.METRICS/BIX-PLATFORM1.png" style="height: 521px; width: 600px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Markethive Banner Impressions Exchange (BIX) Overview</span></span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The Banner Impressions Exchange</strong>
is a system that delivers to the media buyer a transparent value for
their impressions in an exchange-type environment. This ensures open
market principles, allowing anyone who wants to advertise their banners
on all of Markethive’s domains to buy impressions from the exchange,
similar to purchasing coins in a coin exchange. The market sets the
price. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This
means that the CPM (Cost Per Mille = 1000 impressions) you pay is based
on the market setting the price based on demand, effectiveness, and
availability. This also means third-party sites can join the <em>Markethive Banner Impressions Exchange</em>
to put their impressions up for sale based on the same principle of
supply and demand and the free market driving the value accordingly.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The BIX is part of the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveentrepreneuroneupgradeexplained" target="_blank"><strong>Entrepreneur One Upgrade</strong></a>
arsenal, where an equal share of impressions derived from Markethive’s
massive traffic is allocated to each E1 member every month. An E1
member can create a Banner Ad business within the Markethive system by
reselling their impressions on the exchange for any member of Markethive
to purchase. If you do not need to use them yourself, why not sell
them? </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveentrepreneuroneupgradeexplained" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BIX.STRATEGIES.METRICS/E1-Opportunity-Tools.png" style="height: 323px; width: 600px;" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Furthermore,
the remaining impressions allocated for any given month are rolled over
to the following month. This means that if they are not assigned to a
particular banner advertisement or sold to a buyer within the current
month, they can be used the next month along with the new allocation of
impressions. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">However,
the end goal is to utilize this commodity by either placing your
banners on prime real estate or on-selling them to someone who wants to
use them. It’s not practical to hoard your supply of impressions - they
are a limited resource to an ever-expanding market. The demand is going
to continue to increase.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Forms
of payment for impressions can vary and are at the seller’s discretion;
however, choosing MHV, Markethive Coin, as the transaction process is
straightforward, as payments are automated within the system. The other
methods such as BTC, ETH, Paypal, and others are done manually and need
to be managed by the seller.</span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Understanding The Different Metrics</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Many randomly post</strong>
advertisements hoping they bring results without knowing the statistics
of the process. Sorting out the data produced by an online advertising
campaign can be an intimidating task, especially if you’re new to online
advertising. If you’re a marketer, you will have heard of the
terminology used to measure online ad campaign statistics. Still, it’s
not always clear or understood how they are differentiated and why all
metrics are equally important. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Many
understand the importance of social media engagement; however, when it
comes to strategy, it’s critical to know the difference between the key
terms or metrics that are frequently used, as it will help you make
sense of your campaign statistics. It’s all about accurately measuring
your data to know what’s working and identifying areas where you can
increase your efforts or improve on your content where it’s not working
so well. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Identifying The Fundamentals Of Metrics </span></strong></span></h2>
<h3><u><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Reach</span></strong></span></u></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Reach
is the total number of unique people who can see your ad or content. If
1000 people in total have seen your ad, that means your ad’s reach is
1000.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The advantage of having accounts on various social media platforms and a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivebloggingplatformwhatmakesitoutstanding" target="_blank"><strong>central system</strong></a>
that allows you to broadcast your blog or advertisement to those
individual platforms have the potential to increase your reach into the
millions. Markethive, with its proprietary blogcasting system, is the
springboard and gives you the ability to create massive reach, which is
exponential and very powerful. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">For
example, If I subscribe to your blog and have 20,000 followers across
all my social media accounts, and you have 15,000 subscribers, each with
a similar following, your blogs have now been potentially seen by
around 300,000,000 people, by-enlarge are not directly subscribed to
you. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Every
time you publish a blog with Markethive as the core platform, that
article is posted to hundreds, even thousands of social network news
feeds and WordPress sites. </span></span></p>
<h3> </h3>
<h3><u><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Impressions </span></strong></span></u></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Impressions
are the number of times your content or advertisement is delivered and
displayed on any given website or page. Let’s say that your ad from the
previous example above popped up on those people’s screens a total of
3000 times. That means the number of impressions used for that ad is
3000.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Impressions
are where your online advertising begins, and most likely where you
will see the highest numbers as an impression is generated every time a
web page is loaded and potentially viewed. It’s important to note that
just because the banner was displayed doesn’t guarantee the visitor saw
it. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">It’s
a bit like driving past a billboard on the side of the road, the ad is
displayed continuously, but it doesn’t mean that you took any notice of
it. So, in a sense, every car that passes the billboard would represent
an impression, as the potential for the ad to be viewed is there but no
guarantee that every driver saw it.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Impressions
are typically used for displaying banner advertisements across the
internet on any site that allows this type of advertising. This comes at
a cost that varies across the board and is usually set by the
management of the company website. <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cryptoadnetworksovercomingtheadversitiesofanascentindustry" target="_blank"><strong>See some comparisons here. </strong></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This
protocol has now been preceded by a new unprecedented system, as
Markethive, the social market network and ecosystem for entrepreneurs,
has developed a Banner Impressions Exchange (BIX). It is advertising as a
non-fungible token built into an exchange.</span></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Are Impressions Important For Your Business?</span></span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Yes,
they are the very foundation of the advertising process. They are
essential for branding campaigns. Awareness is created from impressions,
and continuing to drive impressions will be crucial to brand success.
Increased impressions will lead to increased engagement and community
size.</span></span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Impressions are the “eyes” that see your ad. It could be as little as a three-second scroll in some cases.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Reach/Engagements involve some kind of interaction, usually. But the impression comes first.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Lastly, clicks or actions are the most important. That is where your leads, and ultimately, your sales come to fruition.</span></span></li></ul>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">You
can’t have reach or clicks without impressions first. Without
impressions, which is the availability to view, there would be no
clicks.</span></span></strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<h3><u><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Clicks </span></strong></span></u></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Clicks
are usually seen as the most important step in the online advertising
process, as a click means you have an interested visitor and a potential
sale. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">A
click is recorded when a visitor clicks on your banner, takes them to
your website, where a lead is captured, or the possibility of a sale.
But when it comes to clicks, relative to impressions, you need the
impressions to generate a click, and since not every person who views
your banner (which is counted as an impression) will click on it, you
will always have more impressions than clicks. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This
ratio of clicks to impressions is measured by what’s known as the
click-through rate (CTR). To calculate CTR, simply divide the number of
clicks by the number of impressions.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">For
example, if your banner received 1,000 impressions and, out of that,
you got 25 clicks, you would have a 2.5% CTR. The rule of thumb is that a
banner with a high CTR effectively grabs a visitor’s attention, while a
low CTR banner means that you may need to tweak something about the
banner image or ad text to harvest more clicks, hopefully.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Your
ideal ad click-through rate takes time to determine. It’s not the same
for everyone, and the average CTR also depends on such factors as your
industry and keywords and how competitive they are.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Based on the internal data of <a href="https://www.wordstream.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Wordstream</strong></a>,
they’ve determined that the average CTR across all industries in Google
Ads is 1.91% on the search network and 0.35% on the display network.
The graphic below shows the variation in the average click-through rate
for twenty different industries.</span></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px;"><u><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Conversions </span></strong></u></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Conversions are the ultimate goal and end-result that every marketer sets out to accomplish.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Generating
conversions means that the purpose of the advertisement/banner has been
achieved. The term conversion covers a broad spectrum of actions,
including capturing a lead, making a sale, or just having a visitor
download an ebook or whitepaper. It’s good to measure the effectiveness
of any campaign by determining how many conversions are achieved to how
many dollars are spent. This calculates your return on investment
(ROI). </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">All Metrics Are Equally Important</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>When you’re analyzing your campaign data</strong>,
it’s not a good idea to draw conclusions based upon only one metric.
You always need to consider how each metric relates to the other. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">For
example, (1) you may have an ad with an exceptionally high CTR but a
disheartening conversion rate. Conversely, (2) you may have an ad that
gets very few clicks, but it almost always converts when it does. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The
first scenario is not ideal because you’ll spend a lot of money on
clicks but have little to show for it, especially if you’re using
pay-per-click (PPC). The second scenario is not okay either because you
won’t be able to scale that campaign to any significant size properly.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">One
of the most reliable ways to determine where best to channel your
resources is by using a metric known as “Profit per Impression” (PPI).
This metric takes both the beginning being impressions and ending being
conversions or (profit) points of the advertising process. It uses them
to determine the ultimate viability of an ad campaign. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This is particularly helpful when participating in Markethive’s <a href="https://markethive.com/marcoferrari/page/markethivebannerimpressionsexchange" target="_blank"><strong>Banner Impressions Exchange</strong></a>,
where you can purchase impressions for your Banner Ad Campaigns and
view the detailed statistics of any given active banner in your BIX
section of Markethive. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BIX.STRATEGIES.METRICS/Screenshot-2021-03-09-150622.png" style="height: 481px; width: 600px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">How Do You Calculate PPI? (Profit Per Impressions)</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The way to calculate PPI</strong>
is to simply find out how much profit (not revenue) you generated from a
campaign and then divide that by the number of ad impressions it took
to produce that profit. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">For
example, if it took a total of 90,000 impressions to produce $20,000 in
profits, then your PPI would be $0.22 ($20,000 divided by 90,000
impressions). This enables you to see how well your banners perform
after all costs have been covered. Campaigns with high PPIs will
ultimately be the best candidates for scaling and growth.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">By
keeping the Profit per Impression (PPI) metric in mind gives you more
confidence, and you will be more clear as to which ads will ultimately
generate the most profit for your advertising campaign.</span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Another Factor To Consider - The Rule Of 7 - What Is It?</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The Rule of 7 is a marketing principle</strong>
that states that your prospects need to come across your offer at least
seven times before they notice it and start to take action. Your
prospects can be exposed to your offer significantly more than seven
times, but they need to see it at least seven times.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This
helps them remember you amongst an overwhelming amount of marketing
messages, other information or clutter, and positions you to get better
results from your marketing efforts. It’s not just about banners -
social media and digital marketing require a thoughtful content strategy
approach. This is accomplished by sharing content, interacting with
people, and targeting ads to people interested in what you sell.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Socially-savvy companies like <a href="https://markethive.com/marcoferrari" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive</strong></a> have the <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/theenginepowerofmarkethive" target="_blank"><strong>best of both worlds</strong></a>
when it comes to marketing your business. It has the social newsfeed
and specific storefront groups, inbound marketing tools, and now the
banner impressions exchange. This gives you the ability to engage with
prospects at every level of the buying process, as it’s been proven that
the more positive contact you have, the easier it is to develop and
sustain relationships and ultimately attain more sales. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/BIX.STRATEGIES.METRICS/RULE-OF-7.png" style="height: 329px; width: 600px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What Can Marketers Do To Capitalize On The Rule Of 7?</span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>So if the Rule of 7 involves</strong> encouraging repeat interactions with prospects, how do you do this?</span></span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Have
a very clear idea of who your customers are. Develop a plan to make
yourself visible amongst your target customers and know where they hang
out or which websites they visit. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Make quality and consistent use of Banner Advertising on high-profile sites with lots of relevant traffic.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Have a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/howcanyouimproveonyourmarketingefforts" target="_blank"><strong>content marketing</strong></a>
plan that gets your prospects to notice you, so you need to provide
content they perceive to add value. Your blogs or articles should start
conversations and prompt people to want to find out more about you and
your product, so make sure you have the necessary calls to action to
lead them to where you want them to go. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Amplify your content into social media. Ideally, your content will get you some SEO visibility, but <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivebloggingplatformwhatmakesitoutstanding" target="_blank"><strong>broadcasting your content</strong></a> to the various social media channels will increase your reach. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Have an <strong><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethiveemailsystempowerfulreliableandethical" target="_blank">email nurture campaign</a></strong>.
Don’t think of email as an opportunity to make sales. Think of it as a
way to help and nurture your prospects and customers. Drive email
opt-ins by offering helpful free content so that they can subscribe.</span></span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">With
these initiatives in place, you will start to develop a level of
visibility that will mean your prospects are being more frequently
exposed to your brand. This can all be achieved and facilitated within
the Markethive Platform utilizing its comprehensive range of marketing
tools. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The
result will be an increase in brand searches, increasing the number of
inquiries, leading to a rise in sales. Don’t expect overnight results;
this requires a consistent, long-term effort.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">You
need to have a bigger picture view to see how all these metrics and
systems with all their different moving parts work together, especially
when it comes to valuing impressions, clicks, and conversions. The best
way to understand how these factors work together and track your results
is to test and tweak your marketing campaigns continually. </span></span></p>

We have a lot going on now; it’s thrilling that Markethive is coming out of BETA with this launch. The innovative visions and tireless work of the Founders’ are coming to fruition for all of us. </span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size:18px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Apprentice Upgrade Illustrated </span></strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Apprentice Program will include everything stated below. <em>This is the first and basic draft, so there might be a few additions and maybe subject to change, but this is primarily the features. </em></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>1.<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"> </span></span></strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>The first is the large wallet transfer/transactions.</strong> There's no limit for the Entrepreneur One member; however, the Apprentice Program will be the second-largest wallet transfer. So the number of MHV coins that you will be able to transfer out with this <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/kycwalletmhvyourquestionsanswered" target="_blank"><strong>wallet</strong></a> will be substantial. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>2.</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px"> </span><strong>You will enjoy a matching bonus</strong> when you refer new members, just like the Entrepreneur One has a matching bonus. This consists of a 100% matching bonus on the first three that sign up with you, which is 50% more than a free member, and then 25% on each subsequent sign-up for the duration of your active membership.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">For example, if the new sign-ups airdrop is 100 MHV, you're going to get 25 coins for as long as you are active in the Apprentice upgrade. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>3. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>You get the full inbound marketing system.</strong> All the features and functions will be available, except for the email broadcasting system, which is limited. You will be able to email your associates (sign-ups) and your group members, but not your friends you have accumulated on Markethive; that is only available to Entrepreneur One associates. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>4.</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px"> </span><strong>You will have access to full data on the first 16 visitors</strong>. This includes their other social media accounts, phone number, and email address. This means you'll get access to the first 16 people who visit your Markethive profile and be able to see who they are. You can contact and reach out to them because they are obviously interested in you, as they came to see you.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>5.</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px"><strong> </strong></span><strong>Access to a friend’s “Friends List”</strong> giving you access to your friends’ list, similar to LinkedIn and Facebook.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">6. </span></strong></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px"> </span><strong>Automatic video and blog posts</strong> to the news feed. Coming very soon is the four different types of newsfeed that are four different types of feeds. As an Apprentice Upgrade, you will have access to the first three.</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">First is the general newsfeed, similar to a Twitter/Facebook type of feed.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The second is the blogging system, so your blogs will be displayed in that feed. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The third is the video feed where you can upload organic videos to the Markethive Video Channel and your videos from 3rd party video platforms. All your videos you upload will be shown in your video newsfeed. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The fourth newsfeed is the curation newsfeed which is limited to <strong>Entrepreneur One members only.</strong> </span></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px">7.<span style="font-size:14px"> </span></span><span style="font-size:14px">Increased Limits On your Video Uploads</span></span><span style="font-size:14px">.</span> </strong></span></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Notably, with YouTube, you need to be qualified to be able to upload unlimited videos. If you do not pass their qualifications, they limit the size of your video uploads. As an Apprentice Upgrade, there is no limit to the size, length, or number of videos you can upload.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>8. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>10% Discounts on Services,</strong> such as Press Releases, Banner Impressions rebate, Boost, Video Ads, etc. E1’s get more discount; however, free members will need to negotiate with either Entrepreneur One or Apprentice level and pay them to acquire any of these services or purchase them at full price from Markethive, the company. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>9. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Upgrade activities interest (staking) on <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/themarkethivevaultunlockyourpotential" target="_blank">the Vault</a>.</strong> As an Apprentice Upgrade, you will receive an increase in micropayments for all your activities in Markethive. Plus, any MHV you hold in the Vault will be paid interest. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>10. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>KYC (Know Your Customer).</strong><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong> </strong></span></span>All Apprentice level and Entrepreneur One associates will have a blue verification checkmark on their profile. So your <strong><a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/kycwalletmhvyourquestionsanswered" target="_blank">KYC verification</a></strong> steps will be a lot easier to do as an upgrade than they would be if you were a free member.</span></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">11. </span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Newsfeed Rich Text Formatting.</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"> You will be able to highlight with bold, italics, or underline in your newsfeeds as an Apprentice Upgrade. This makes your posts stand out a lot more. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>12. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Fully Functioning Storefronts.</strong><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong> </strong></span></span>It is also known as Groups but with the added advantage of monetizing it with capture pages, custom Splash pages, videos, co-ops, shopping carts, etc. You create a complete campaign with a capture page that lands on the splash page built into the group. Essentially, this is a Storefront where people can visit and buy your products listed via your shopping cart.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">So you can essentially turn your group into a landing page that also gives you the ability to communicate with those in that storefront group, much like a forum. It really is an innovation that takes the whole thing and turns it into a turnkey Marketing System.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">A free membership gets the group, but you’re getting a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/whatsinstoreatmarkethive" target="_blank"><strong>storefront</strong></a> when you upgrade to Apprentice or Entrepreneur One.</span></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">13. </span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Group/Storefront posts in profile feed option</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">. So whenever you post in your group newsfeed, you have the opportunity to post into your profile feed automatically.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>14. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Full Video Channel System</strong> is a full YouTube-like video system where followers, friends, and associates can subscribe to your channel. They can comment on your videos, and all the features on YouTube will also be in the myhive.tube video system. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The other great thing about the full video channel system is that as an Upgrade, the system will ask if you have accounts on other video platforms whenever you upload your video. (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, Facebook, Twitter) You'll be able to link to all of these 3rd party video platforms. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">So you upload your videos into Markethive, which will also upload your thumbnail to those videos and remotely publish out to all the other video accounts that you may have so you get extensive video distribution.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">It’s worth noting that when videos are posted on another platform, only a snippet of the video can be viewed. To watch the whole video, users will be directed back to the Markethive platform. This is a huge advantage considering YouTube’s predilection to censorship.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>15. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Full Conference Room Channel.</strong> All members will have access to Markethive’s free conference rooms; however, they will be limited according to your membership level. Free members will have two seats (you and a guest). Apprentice will have ten seats, and the Entrepreneur One Upgrade will have unlimited seats. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Our conference room system is integrated into inbound marketing, calendars, and timers, making it a very sophisticated system.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>16. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Bookmark Newsfeed Management.</strong> If there are posts in the news feed that you like or want to remember, you will be able to bookmark them if you’re going to reference them again, creating easy access to them in the future. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>17. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Self Deleting Posts (Set timer option)</strong> Like Snapchat, you will be able to send a message to someone or make a post, then set a timer for it to self-delete. This is an excellent option if you have a message or post that is time-sensitive. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>18. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Send Messages to anyone in Markethive.</strong> (Limited to (?) per month) The number of people you can message is still yet to be determined. However, as an upgrade, you will be able to message any member, no matter their level. If you see their profile page or a post they did, you can send a message to them. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Once this feature is in place, nobody else can send messages to anybody unless their first level friends.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>19. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><strong>Markethive sub-ROKU Channel.</strong> <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/introducingmarkethivetvnowliveonrokuandamazonfiretv" target="_blank"><strong>Markethive already has a Roku Channel</strong></a>, and we can build Roku sub-channels into it. What this means is, as an Apprentice or E1, you will be able to have your own sub-channel, which will be named, yourusername.markethive. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">So when you upload a video into Markethive, you can designate to upload it as well to your Roku sub-channel. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">So there you have it. This is an impressive menu of options for the Apprentice Loyalty Upgrade, which can be paid in part using MHV along with BTC or credit/debit card. The subscription prices are not set in stone as yet; however, if you attended Sunday’s meeting or viewed the recording, you would have seen the mock-up of the various plan options proposal pictured below. The MHV is based on the value of one penny in the image. However, the coin price will fluctuate when listed on the exchanges, so the amount of MHV will be adjusted accordingly. </span></span></p>

<h2><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Cardano Blockchain - The Fastest System On Earth</span></span></b></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>As a follow-up to my last two articles explaining</b>, Cardano is a <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardanothe3rdgenerationblockchain" target="_blank"><b>3rd generation blockchain</b></a> that started as a project in 2015 and launched in 2017, focusing <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/cardano-solving-problems-the-three-elements" target="_blank"><b>on three elements</b></a>. Cardano has made great strides since then. The team’s aspirations are now coming to fruition in 2021, solving some critical problems, one being scalability, which has become very apparent with the 1st generation, Bitcoin, and 2nd generation blockchain, Ethereum, in the last five years. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cardano’s key features are the academic and scientific philosophy behind it. The team consisting of engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and business professionals has published over 90 whitepapers for the technology. With a well-defined roadmap, the <b>Cardano</b> network is known for its ingrained security, scalability, and interoperability. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Previous generation blockchains suffer from bottlenecks that essentially limit the amount of throughput they can handle. Proof of this can be seen in the fluctuating BTC and ETH transaction times over the years, making them an inefficient choice for global-scale mass use. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">When the Cardano blockchain was first tested in 2017, it could process around 257 transactions per second (TPS). To put that into perspective, today, Bitcoin can only process 7 TPS and Ethereum a little higher at 25 TPS. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>Cardano</i> is built and a comparison to VISA as a competitor and a theoretical goalpost. Currently, VISA’s transactions per second are approximately 2,000 TPS which is unreachable in the blockchain world. Particularly with Proof of Work protocols that can only reach into the tens. Proof of Stake (POS) networks can deliver a few hundred. However, with the introduction of Cardano’s Ouroboros Hydra solution, it is now looking at more than 1 million TPS.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With this new groundbreaking technology in PoS scalability, the Hydra, the Cardano blockchain can become a real alternative to current fiat currency and payment systems for their <a href="https://cardano.org/what-is-ada/" target="_blank"><b>Native ADA token</b></a> and other altcoins and ecosystems with all the necessary building blocks to be a potent fintech disruptor. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://markethive.net/wp-content/uploads/MH.ARTICLES.2021/CARDANO.BLOCKCHAIN.HYDRA/HYDRAAdobeStock_214222000-1024x512.jpeg" style="height: 300px; width: 600px;" /><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><i>The body of Hydra is like the mainchain. Hydra can have more heads. Every head can process 1,000 TPS.</i></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">What is Cardano's Hydra? </span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson</b>, explained in the video below recorded in March 2020 that Hydra is a Layer 2 scaling solution implemented over Cardano's Proof of Stake protocol while fitting "very well with the Pool staking model.” It implements state channels that enable the fast processing of payments and smart contracts beyond the blockchain (off-chain). </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Simulations have shown that each "Hydra head" can currently process about 1,000 transactions per second (TPS). With 1,000 stacking pools, each of which processes 1,000 TPS, Cardano could achieve a throughput of up to one million transactions per second.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Hoskinson further emphasized that each "Hydra head" will reach the so-called "Fast Finality,” which means that the irreversibility of a transaction can be done almost in real-time, as commonly used in a <a href="https://ohk.io/en/research/library/papers/ouroboros-bfta-simple-byzantine-fault-tolerant-consensus-protocol/" target="_blank"><b>Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)</b></a> protocol. Thanks to the "Fast Finality" and the high transaction speed, even micro-transactions will become possible. </span></span></p>
<p><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Hoskinson also said.</span></span></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><b><i><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">“A serious disadvantage present in current layer-two state channel protocols is that existing layer-one smart contract infrastructure and contract code cannot be reused off-chain without change. In this paper, we introduce Hydra, an isomorphic multi-party state channel. Hydra simplifies off-chain protocol and contract development by directly adopting the layer-one smart contract system. We present the onchain contracts to open and close Hydra heads (our isomorphic state channels) and a novel off-chain protocol for the fast evolution of heads.”</span></i></b></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fmq28tYtXqs" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Put more simply, data from the blockchain is loaded into Hydra, and participants can make transactions or run smart contracts in the Hydra. Once their job is finished, they close the Hydra, and the final state is updated in the blockchain. As multiple hydra ‘heads’ can be created, it allows fast and cheap parallel processing.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Hydra will enable high scalability, which is imperative for greater adoption of cryptocurrencies, not just for faster transactions; Hydra can also execute smart contracts so developers can easily build Dapps and utilize micropayments, voting, among other things. Hydra will ensure low latency and minimal storage of data per node.</span></span></p>

<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Cardano’s PoS consensus mechanism,</b> called Ouroboros, also reduces energy cost compared to PoW. It also provides provable security guarantees with transactions and seamless execution of smart contracts with Hydra’s <a href="https://iohk.io/en/research/library/papers/the-extended-utxo-model/" target="_blank"><b>Extended-UTxO model</b></a>.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With the current setup of Ethereum (PoW) and Cardano (PoS), Cardano appears much more robust than Ethereum in terms of TPS. Ethereum also lags due to its problems with expensive gas fees when it comes to transaction costs.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The recent bull runs resulted in ETH and other Ethereum blockchain tokens experiencing extremely high gas (transaction) fees due to network congestion, therefore discouraging retail investors from being involved. </span></span></p>

<span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><i><span style="font-size: 12px;">Comparison Chart between Cardano Native Tokens and Ethereum ERC-20</span></i></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Cardano Native Token Design Distinction - A Unique Selling Proposition (USP)</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The <a href="https://roadmap.cardano.org/en/goguen/" target="_blank">Goguen Era</a>,</b> just one of the many phases of the <a href="https://roadmap.cardano.org/en/" target="_blank"><b>Cardano roadmap</b></a>, is set to launch in March 2021 allows more comprehensive interoperability with existing smart contracts, regardless of the different coding language used to develop them initially. Goguen enables smart contracts to be written in different languages, whereas Ethereum smart contracts use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidity" target="_blank"><b>Solidity</b></a> only. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cardano also applied the Goguen native token upgrade, known as the Mary upgrade, to Cardano’s testnet, which transforms the blockchain into a multi-asset network similar to Ethereum. Still, design differences set it apart, which opens up various and differing business use-cases with high-scale enterprises.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With the well-thought-out and tested infrastructure, <i>Cardano</i> is poised to capture a diverse and completely different market share than Ethereum; areas such as national-level identity solutions, back-end financial infrastructure, and robust enterprise use cases like decentralized social media.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A significant difference is that there are no execution fees charged to the user in conjunction with a token smart contract on Ethereum. (Gas fees) </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Smart contracts on Ethereum are also vulnerable to human error, fraud, and other risks associated with Ethereum design protocols that require conversion between the two layers. The two layers’ scripting language is significantly different, and Solidity cannot work with the second layer, so conversion is necessary. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Native Tokens on Cardano are forged on-chain with both layers using the same scripting system, so no conversion is needed. The opportunity to siphon funds through a smart contract is eliminated.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Hinrich Pfeifer of the Cardano Foundation said,</span></span></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">“User-defined native tokens on Cardano use the same underlying token logic as the Cardano blockchain itself. Cardano’s scripting language does not have fixed-size integers, and the ledger itself tracks token movements and handles the token logic.”</span></b></i></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In other words, according to Charles Hoskinson, organizations with cryptocurrency assets are treated as first-class citizens; they are treated the same way as Cardano treats ADA, their own crypto, whereas, in Ethereum, you’re a second-class citizen. ETHER is treated differently from smart contacts. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This first-class citizen approach means your assets will have the same governance access, layer two portfolio access, and the same infrastructure that ADA itself has. Also, more effortless listing experiences, more comfortable wallet experience, better user experience, faster transactions, lower transaction costs, and the list goes on. <br />

<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The next tech social media, marketing, and broadcasting giant, Markethive</b>, has also moved to the Cardano blockchain from Ethereum. The Markethive Coin, MHV, about to be launched on principled exchanges, is now a Native token on Cardano’s isomorphic multiparty state system instead of an ERC-20. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Given the enormous <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/markethivesreferralprogramexplained" target="_blank"><b>transaction activity</b></a> and data involved, along with the<b> <a href="https://markethive.com/group/marketingdept/blog/theincentivizedloanprogramilpapowerfulwaytospreadthewealth" target="_blank">ILP assets</a></b> in Markethive, it makes perfect sense to migrate to a completely decentralized system that will handle throughput, stability, and interoperability with ease. </span></span></p>
<p><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">CEO and Founder of Markethive, <a href="https://markethive.com/marketing" target="_blank">Thomas Prendergast</a>, says,</span></span></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“The MHV coin was originally produced (8,888,888,888) according to the ERC20 guidelines from Ethereum about 1.5 years ago. The coin in Markethive has been kept in Markethive operating separate from the ERC20 on our own paper blockchain until we released the wallet. Recent trends have revealed the ERC20’s security risks, privacy risks, and even worse, the cost to transact (gas) has skyrocketed.</span></span></b></i></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As we determined that the ERC20 was not for us and before we opened up to the exchanges as an ERC20, we decided to find other options.

<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">After contacting him, CTO of Markethive, Douglas Yates, determined that to convert to Cardano was the perfect decision, and so this now opens the door for us to launch onto the exchanges as a Cardano-based Markethive coin.”</span></span></b></i></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This is excellent news for Markethive; It means much smaller transaction fees, greater security, faster application speeds. It means our entire system will be stronger, quicker, and secure.</span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Cardano’s Terminology Of Native Tokens </span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The terms 'coin' and 'token'</b> are often used in the crypto world. Sometimes, these terms are interchangeable, sometimes not. A 'token' can also be a type of umbrella term that encompasses all digital assets.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It is worth noting that <a href="https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2020/12/08/native-tokens-on-cardano/" target="_blank"><b>Cardano's approach</b></a> to tokenization is as unique as the ledger itself, so here's some terminology to help understand Cardano’s native tokens framework.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>In Goguen/Cardano:</b></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A token is defined as the representation of an asset stored on the Cardano blockchain.</span></span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">An asset is anything that can be quantified.</span></span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A token bundle is a representation of multiple tokens.</span></span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Native refers to token logic running on the Cardano ledger rather than using smart contracts.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><b>Native tokens on Cardano</b></span></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ethereum requires custom code for user-defined tokens to be supported on the chain. It adds a layer of complexity, cost (gas is needed to pay for the execution of the code), and inefficiency since token code for both standards is replicated and adapted, rather than part of the system itself. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This is an inherent weakness of the Ethereum chain because it leaves room for human error. Custom code, if done carelessly, can introduce bugs that could potentially lead to significant financial loss. In one particularly <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/08/cryptocurrency-300m-dollars-stolen-bug-ether" target="_blank"><b>infamous incident</b></a>, software bugs led to the loss of ether worth $300m. The Cardano approach aims to prevent such catastrophic errors.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Cardano supports user-defined tokens natively, without the need for custom code, through the native tokens framework. Native tokens is an accounting system defined as part of the cryptocurrency ledger and enables tokens to be transacted with (tracked, sent, and received.) This eliminates the need to use custom code or costly smart contracts. In short, native tokens remove the unnecessary layer of expensive complexity and inherent inefficiency found in the Ethereum chain.</span></span></p>
<h2><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">The Heart Behind The Technology</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>The Creator and CEO of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson,</b> is passionate about his work and mission to change the world’s financial system. To build a true financial operating system for the planet; for the unbanked, giving open, fair, and free economic identity to those lacking, along with dozens of companies and millions of community members.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In a recent video update, Charles stated, </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><i><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“We are on a path to Destiny. Everything we do is lining up to take us to that particular reality. Those are the billions of users that not only will enrich the network and make it something worthwhile but will change the entire fabric of how the world works and make it fairer, more just, and more transparent. Every bit of commercial progress we make as a company, as a protocol, as a community towards that end, makes me incredibly happy.”</span></span></b></i></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Slow And Steady Wins The Race</span></b></span></h2>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>It has been a gradual process for Cardano</b> because they do real science, write real protocols, perpetually testing every aspect of this unique project. This protocol is necessary to avoid the traps many Silicon Valley startups, and the like have experienced. Move fast, break things and burden the world with their costly mistakes. Many have fundamental and architectural issues that have caused their demise or non-event. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Because of all the hard work, philosophical and scientific approach, Cardano’s progress has expedited and now a force and on track, having built the best Proof of Stake protocol with a brilliant path to evolve that protocol to keep up with emerging technology. </span></span></p>
<p><span face="Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Charles Hoskinson and the Cardano team are one of integrity, empathy, and compassion with a philosophy that is congruent with Markethive. We, at Markethive, welcome Cardano and are excited to be collaborating and joining forces to help make the world a better place. One of freedom and sovereignty in the social media and financial spheres creating an all-encompassing ecosystem for humanity. </span></span></p>
