Well, if that someone claims to be new to Steem, when he might be the alt of some longterm bigshot.. it is indeed.

Transparency should be treated high, especially here :)

No excuse for the 8888 Softfork though..
Except that it is the best thing that could happen for Hive. Making it clear that things are going South for Steem.

Hive is subject to the exact issues Steem is suffering. The only difference is that Hive is currently administered by a cabal of whales that don't want to do such stupid things with their stake.

That could change at any moment. Hive is no more secure than Steem. It's literally just Steem with the founder's stake stuffed into the HPS instead of sold to Sun Yuchen.
