Hilo
Hilo is a Social Network for blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts and newcomers where you can research, follow along, and interact with friends and influencers. On the Hilo platform, your sensitive data will be owned and controlled by you. Hilo is an inclusive blockchain and crypto-community that synthesizes information, news, public opinion, and supports people in learning about the future of money. Hilo is a platform for beginners, experts, and influencers to share resources and information. Most of our team was lost or overwhelmed when we tried to learn about cryptocurrency. All of the entry level content ended with the same conclusion: blockchain is a revolutionary technology, so get involved. But how could we get started and apply what we read? After making an initial investment through an entry level exchange, the next step was anything but obvious. The online communities where much of the discussion takes place were relatively walled off – as a newcomer or even as an enthusiast, it was hard to break in. So many members of our team had to turn to friends and family who were farther along in the process of teaching themselves. Learning from someone who had been through the process helped expedite our understanding of the cryptocurrency. Luckily for our team, most of us had very knowledgeable friends who could take the time to train us, and who also wanted a community where they keep learning and growing. This is the start of Hilo. Hilo wants to provide scalable access and education for anyone that wants to get involved in cryptocurrencies. Hilo is a platform for productive discussion on all things blockchain, and is inclusive to both beginners and experts. It is a common space where productive conversation is encouraged and misinformation is frowned upon. And it is a place to come and converse during the highs and lows of the crypto market.
