In Time (movie) - Made me think of Hive...

I watched the movie "In Time" featuring Justin Timberlake, the other night.

The movie itself was OK but the concept was really clever and gave me much food for thought... 🍿

It was basically set in the future where folk live until they're 25 years old as normal and then a clock clicks on on their 25th birthday with one year of life left.

The only way to extend your life is to earn (or steal) it.

So you'd earn say x amount of hours for a day's work and then on the flip side, you'd use your time to pay for stuff eg a cup of coffee costs say 4 minutes and this gets deducted from your 'clock'.

It was a vivid depiction of how TIME IS MONEY.

It also showed how inequalities of time (wealth) arise. So, in the movie, folk in the ghettos typically only have a few hours left on their clock at any one time. Living day to day. Or hour to hour.. ⏳

Meanwhile, in the richer areas, folk had several years or 100s or even thousands of years on their clock. And so they often tried to hide their clock that was glowing brightly on their wrist for fear of being mugged or killed for their time.

And this led me to think about Hive.

Here on Hive, our wallets are publicly available for anyone to check out and snoop.

With prices at less than 30c, this isn't really a big problem. But for those with a decent stake, prices of £5+ might become more sensitive and risky for prying eyes 👀...

I might be over thinking it but I am optimistic about the future price of Hive. And so, on this basis, don't be surprised if I take steps to power down a large proportion of my current stake and shift it to stake in some alt account(s).

Don't worry. I'm not leaving. I won't be gone.
