Intro
Thanks for this post, as the content and the comments are informative about the failures and instructive about a way forward.
Perhpas you struck a nerve
The 133 comments would suggest to me that you struck a nerve, and after reading them, it is a diverse bunch of viewpoints.
The comments and my business
Personally, I read the posts and comments because I have run a business on Hive for over a year, and I thought a token would help the business with publicity and possibly credibility. I thought those were not good reasons to have a token, and that credibility would come from running the business correctly, while publicity would come from Ads and word of mouth recommnedations.
My self reflection
I now reflect on some other investment and dividend token, and feel they have done things differently, and better, with a token.
I feel that way because with more education and research I could have used the same energy I used to build the business, consurrently to build the token. I think the token adds something to this niche, security. I think, for example; not exclusively of course, there are other tokens, but the Bro token gives people security that my business doesn't. If you buy the BRO token you are still relying on the creators of BRO token to send you your dividend, and you are still relying on their honestly, and credibility. But if it doesn't work out, you sell the token. I think with my program, if it doesn't work out you have nothing.
I cold be wrong, and there most likely be other reasons less complex or more complex, but I am trying to step outside my own bias towards myself and my program, and see what differences exist.
I think the simplicity and lack of distribution issues and tokenomics issues for such dividend tokens are nice also, because I and possibly the fact that you can simply sell your BRO token on Hive Engine, and the founders can simply buy back your Token when you want to leave. Thus perhaps your investment has liquidity in way that my refunds don't.
Although I thought the simplicity of my refund was easy, you invest Leo and your Leo is refunded. But perception is key and point of view limits me there.
Then again with better marketing perhaps a business would overcome these difference.
But I think forming a token would perhaps give me another advantage, it would be a start to a community identity, and I think that Community idea is forming in my mind now, as a community bnigger then my business, but pperhaps a community of people building businesses on hive, and a place where they could exchange ideas about what works for businesses, and potentially business tokenomics.
A new idea, perhaps a new community
There are many singular communities of worth while businesses and tokens on Hive, but I know of no community that focuses on bringing them together in one place, where they can all be viewed, compared and perhaps they can grow/evolve/merge... the possibilities are endless.
I am an idea person...
You post has made me think, and develop an idea for something new, which could be bigger and better, potentially then what I have created before; multiple sinular programs, based on unique ideas, which I thought were profitable. I think a community where those ideas are shared and put under the microscope such as it could be said, would be more unique and more helpful towards the longterm goal of utilizing our collective energies better to move forward.
And now the hard part...
