All of the issues you talk about with EOS, Hive does not have
We don't have vote-selling either, exchanges don't vote because of the long lock-up, and large stakeholders don't vote in witnesses that offer kickbacks; we vote in the best. We vote the best because our tokens are locked for so long; a measly little kickback is nothing compared to the millions of tokens I have locked for so long.
Also, we are not here for the money. Justin Sun's marketing campaign was akin to that of Xerxes, "we give you exchanges, liquidity, and pumped prices!" Our community had just suffered a 3-year bear market; Ned was nowhere to be seen, the token price in the dumps and some billionaire comes and says, hey guys, let's go to the moon! We did not bend the knee; we are here because we want censorship-resistance away from the state. I'm not sure there is a tougher, more decentralized network out there than Hive. If you try to take us over, we fork you, dump the former token and power upon the other chain.
And we have had people bark up Hives tree about regulators, but who are you going to mail on Hive? No one owns it. The largest hodler here is 100% anon and has like 3% of the stake. We have a robust middle class. There isn't any person that has the power to do anything on this chain, esp if it was hostile. Hive reacts very much to hostile takeovers; we come out of the woodworks.
So I like what we have here, you can improve the technology, but you can't just flip a switch and improve the community. A community must be earned, and Hive has many battle stripes.
All very good observations. Strength and unity of community is key. The tech is almost secondary.
Indeed, a community aligned to certain principles is high valuable. What about pursuing again a Constitution? do you still think that a blockchain should have a constitution ?
We have a dan larimer pedigree chain eosio called telos made by douglas horn who helped co found a living xanadu constitution here https://telos.net look at explore and telos amend and download SQRL wallet to see the telos constition https://SQRLwallet.io
Becaudr of my proposal and generous support ffrom @dapperd Telos airdropped some telos to 16 000 pre hive fork steem accounts with https://steem-engine.net u may have some already
Actually this strong middle class has proven to be super important. If there are so many people who are kind of rich, it's hard to bribe them or supress them without global coordination and spending lot of money to track their real IDs. This layers 0 stuff makes me wonder if Hive can be bigger than EOS.
The (semi-)centralization of EOS is its Achilles's heel. It's easy to come after just few stakeholders and devs. Even the 13 week power down is probably one of the greatest features about Hive. It really force people to be in it for the long term.
I think people undervalue how important distribution is in DPOS, I'm pretty sure Hive is one of the best distributed currencies out there, closest competition would probably be dogecoin.
You think? What about BAT, PRE and PI? Am certain these tokens are in more hands then HIVE. Just a little observation 😉
Sure, but I don't mean amount of different hands, I mean stake distributed widely to as many as possibly based on existing active accounts.
Sure, I understand. Didn't look into the coins I mentioned regarding voting rights ie the stake you talk about.
Just a guess, but I'd say that more than a few people are here for the money. If not, why does the question When moon? seem to be asked so often?
I am here for the money, but only if we keep our principles. I sold all my steem as soon as I could.
And you shall be rewarded in blockchain heaven my son .
Hah https://getwombat.io prepare with wombat Telos and EOS wallet
Agree, I think the majority is here for the money. Maybe not the true hardcore HIVE-ers, they continue using HIVE regardless of HIVE value at the exchanges. We've seen a drop of usage as lig as we see a drop of HIVE value. That in itself says enough.
THE KING IS DEAD
LONG LIVE THE KING

UPON GALACTIC CONVERGENCE THE UNIVERSAL STARGATE SYSTEM WILL RISE LIKE A GAME OF BACKWARDS TENET DOMINOS AND DAN LARIMERS MANY ALTERNATE SELVES WILL FLY IN IN THE TELOS BLACK TRIANGLE CRAFT THROUGH PORTALS
THE TELOS.net BLOCKCHAIN WITH APPICS WILL RISE TO ASCENSION AND TAKE THE EOS MARKETCAP. WE WILL ALL be airdropped PBTC on TELOS and EOS and given https://getwombat.io wallets and create our own eosio tokens for every steemian on https://telos.alcor.exchange
