I loved the article and thx for all your contribution so far. It was wonderfully written and you drove some nice points. I especially liked the one where you imply subtly that Facebook fears competition like HIVE. ;)
On the "HIVE used to be called Steem", i see your point .
How i see it.
Everything that Steem should have been has been moved to HIVE so in a sense HIVE is the continuation of Steem but rebranded. The Steem thats left a useless husk.
