Very important question, thank you for asking!
We decided for Aspire, because of our partners Michael Terpin and Jim Blasko, who are the founders of Aspire and the main investors and now shareholders of NFT Studios. They are very influential in the blockchain world and their network will be a major advantage of ChiFiBots. We will be the flagship apps on Aspire, with NFT Studios and ChiFiBots, building the infrastructure for everything to come afterwards there.
How that exactly translates into success for HIVE is nothing I can answer directly, only indirectly: We love HIVE, we are here for the past 5 years. We will not abandon HIVE to build somewhere else and turn our back on our roots.
So in order to achieve the greatest value for both Aspire and HIVE, we will look into ways to build bridges on many levels. Leveraging community on HIVE, through 1UP but potentially also with our own ChiFiBots tribe. Creating tools for HIVE like an NFT market place that crosses not just between Aspire and HIVE but also other blockchains. Using HIVE accounts to create Aspire wallets and play directly via your HIVE login on Aspire. Giving first access, like with this campaign, to the HIVE users.
Honestly, there is much work in front of us to put that all into a proper vision and realize it along the way. How exactly it will play out, we don't know yet. But the HIVE community will be the first to know!

Excellent, thanks @flauwy, this is really helpful in providing context. Definitely looking forward to seeing some bridges and links between the two blockchains but providing seamless logins and first access to HIVE users seems like a huge win for both communities. Hope it all goes well for you all!
A way to bridge Keychain and Aspire would be pretty epic!
