Making Hive merch over the years and wearing it has been one of the most pleasurable aspects of my Hive blockchain experience, in particular t-shirts and hoodies. It is not just clothing to wear while unsupervised. It is a symbol of a movement, a lifestyle, and a powerful technology that connects people all over our incredible planet. I have enjoyed every second I spent designing and printing these shirts and representing Hive in different communities and events.
What I find remarkable is how many different times Hive clothing will spark conversations wherever I am. When I wear a Hive shirt to the local market, at a Hive MeetUp, or at a big event, there is always someone who will notice the design and message on the shirt. People want to ask what Hive is and how we use it and in short tell me why I am so excited about Hive. This is my opportunity to share my story, have a discussion about the power of decentralisation, enthuse others to check out Hive, and extend an invitation into the Hive community.
Every printed t-shirt is a chance for outreach and education. It makes me happy to know that a simple t-shirt can advocate and represent a global movement. This motivates me to keep producing and sharing. The more we wear and display Hive, we communicate to the world that there are different and better ways to connect, create, and support one another. I look forward to producing more and representing Hive, to leave a footprint wherever I flit about.
