According to this data, we are top 3 in terms of global adaption and it’s at its prime these days. I’ll expand on that later but as a basic knowledge, we are the 4th most populous country on earth. Yet, sometimes it feels like we’re all invisible. Truth is, there are people like me all around here, we just never really say that we’re from this archipelago nation. We exist in every crypto space all around as well & perhaps you’ve seen us in some communities all around.

There’s always one thing I wondered. We have this thriving market and every year, the country especially in Bali hosts crypto conferences and hackathons, you name it. But the word Hive is quite unheard of. Hive is currently listed in two biggest exchanges in the country, Indodax and Toko Crypto, which recently got its license from the country. Hive is also taxed that adds another layer of protection. While some of you disagree with how the government runs it, if you’re Indonesian, you’re basically doxxed and taxed for any of your crypto holdings.

In the past, blockchain and cryptocurrency were all gray. These days, it’s widely accepted and conversations about it aren't really something new. Unfortunately, most of it and most of the crypto adoption around here is mostly centered around DEFI, NFT and gaming.

For me, all I see is just an untapped market that needs to know more about Hive and how communities all around here could help them empower their lives and even help them channel their passion. That’s where I think we could have a more diverse Indonesian crowd to hive.

Although, I personally do not subscribe to country-based ideas, I prefer it to introduce this space along this way

“ Look, here’s a new technology, a new place for all of you to explore with its massive possibilities and that is relevant to their expertise or even hobby. You can come to this space, we’ll welcome you openly, you can find yourself or leave the very next day. It’s all freedom here and do whatever you want with the information I’ve tried to pass on”

I come from the creative corner of Hive and that’s where I want to fill in, bringing people who have a background in creative writing, journalism and copywriters to check out Hive. I’ve seen so many benefits by cross-bridging these people. When you bring the people that know basic SEO, it could also increase not just their visibility in search engines but also our visibility all around.

For all of my journey here, I heard complaints, failed stories, drama — you name it. I heard and saw it all. I do not want to bring those into my life nor this community. It’s why I never really took an approach up until today where now it’s prime to bring Hive to the surface all around here. Why keep this amazing community hidden? The rules are also in favor of blockchain adoption too and Gen Z, are also more open minded when it comes to the switch of Web2 to Web3.

The other day, I voiced out some of my frustration that I feel like things haven’t been really fun lately and I do want to find fresher content to read and fresher voice, where these new people could engage and offer their voice. Today, I was doing a little meet up with people that I’ll be collaborating with. They are not just individual but a non-profit organization focusing on writers.

One of the teams from @menulisid has an account here as well, @silvercrown1. I onboarded him a while ago and go check him out, I do expect him to be even more active after this 😀

We do want to find common ground and it’s really all new to them. So it took a bit to explain everything. I do use Medium as a comparison since the target audience is mostly writers or soon-to-be professional writers, or want to explore the possibility of becoming a writer. It’s a whole lot easier to comprehend. I also showed them how their writing could be so well-indexed on Google and even rank higher compared to other websites that talk about the same thing.

Most importantly, I am going to need your help and I'd appreciate it!

I’ve talked to @shanibeer about my ideas since ours somehow overlaps and would be happy to collaborate at some point with The InkWell community as well. I am open to any collaboration and happy to work with anyone!

Let me know if you have any advice & ideas
