Surely you are looking for information about what is Hive and how it relates to social media, in this post I will explain what is Hive and its ecosystem in a simplified way.

Hive is a Blockchain with a decentralized protocol that has an ecosystem of social networks, games, and database applications among many other things. Hive also owns its own cryptocurrencies, mainly the Hive coin.

Hive also aims to overcome the gaps in mainstream adoption and inclusion in blockchain technology and content publishing by improving its accessibility. It leverages the coined Proof of Brain concept by distributing a fraction of inflation to content creators and consumers. To earn without investment, individuals engage in a wide range of activities. These include blogging, participating in discussions, curating others, building and engaging with dapps, gaming and more; they are limited only by their own imagination to encourage decentralization of the system. All content is always available on the blockchain and retains its original integrity.

That’s a snippet from Hive’s white paper where they basically explain to us about how it works.

Why be part of Hive?

Because you would be joining the Blockchain world and the social media ecosystem where decentralization and data protection are sought.
