Eliminating our dependence on CEXes to use Hive as money is a great step forward. However, until we have independent means of accessing Hive the path to that ability is able to be blocked by centralized institutions in the form of ISPs.
I do not disparage atomic swaps. If we cannot guarantee our access to communications, Hive itself is ultimately vulnerable to centralized control, and I will not invest my productive work into such traps again, having once suffered the loss of my life's work through theft by fraud.
Absent mesh networks, or some similar decentralized means of communications that prevents censorship by ISPs and other centralized institutions, it is potentially simply a trap.
Better tasting bait is not a solution to the trap we must solve.
