What if Hive Became as Big as YouTube or Facebook Right Now?

Hi everyone, been a while since I shared a blog. I'm a little over a month old on Hive and probably still have a lot to learn. Some of my friends keep complimenting me about my achievements and how fast I'm growing on this platform and I always respond with "I believe in the powerful future of this platform".

I've got awesome mentors like @melinda010100 and @taskmaster4450le explain the potential of Hive and why especially with Taskmaster, I learned a lot about the potential of Web3 for the future.

So Hive is super awesome today and has so many benefits but I simply can't help but wonder exactly how it would look like if it was as big as YouTube and Facebook today.

First of all I can imagine the enormous number of members and communities that would have to exist on the platform with let's say a billion plus users. There would definitely be way more investors, obviously that would mean the Hive token itself would have a much higher value which means much more value on curation of author blogs.

I'm tempted to think of how a popular person's blog would look like on Hive at that point. I stand to be corrected but I'm thinking there's a cap of $100,000 on the curation value a blog can make, I saw it somewhere and would definitely love clarification on that.

People try their very best on platforms like YouTube because some authors literally make hundreds of thousands of dollars on one video content they make. I think it would not be strange if that was the level Hive was on.

I'm pretty sure people have made huge money from normal Web2 blogs and so this is definitely a possibility on Hive. Don't get me wrong though it ain't all about the money. I can imagine how many more Hive projects would exist and to think of all this happening under "Decentralization".

I actually do hope if this has to happen, the governments of the world don't find sneaky ways to take control it as they've always been trying to do to virtually everything that exists.

To be honest, thinking of a scenario where Hive becomes as big as YouTube or Facebook is definitely mind-boggling because it comes with huge benefits.

The interesting thing is that unlike YouTube and Facebook, Hive is fully decentralized and also Web 3. Defining Web 3 in my own words is just going to be three words actually; "The Next Internet". So this would mean that we would finally have a huge global platform that is not controlled by some billionaire business person, I don't even think I've ever seen that before in my life, hehehe.

The benefits of Web3, Hive getting as huge as these giant platforms is almost uncountable guys.

So if you ask why TheRingMaster works so hard on a daily basis to grow, it's because I've seen the potential of this platform in the future and would definitely love to be part of it.

I remember some years back being very active on my Facebook page. To be honest, I barely made some real good friends. Most people never really paid attention to the making friends part, the deep connection wasn't really there. It was mostly about liking the next funny entertainment video or the next celebrity everyone is following. It wasn't exactly a community.

I guess this is why Hive is seen as a community. I really feel the difference between Hive and the other platforms and just can't help to wonder how it would look like if it actually had a billion users.

I wonder if we're ready to handle a billion users though?

How many witnesses do you think we would need? How many communities that a niche based and generic and country based would have to exist to handle 1 billion users.

And obviously one of the most important questions would probably have to be, if the curators to creators will be enough for at least most author's blogs to get the recognition and attention and value it deserves. I guess these may be the questions to ask if we wonder about Hive getting as big as a billion plus users.

I'm very enthusiastic about the future of this platform and although I've heard a few times that the platform is yet still in the early stages, it's doing pretty well for early stages.

I would definitely love to get your opinions on what Hive would look like if it was as big as YouTube and Facebook or if Hive had a billion plus users?

Thanks for the time guys, hope you enjoyed this brief blog friends.
