Hello all,
It's been a long time I have posted and this will be my last post on Steem. I have been keeping track of Steem in the background and it saddens me to see how one person with money could ruin Steem. But at the same time he initiated a movement that showed how united the Steemians (soon to be Hives? Bees?) can be.
Justin was a bringer of the inevitable
And he made it easier for us to tackle one of the biggest issues since Steem was created, power was centralized around Steemit, the company, because they mined a large enough stake to be able to single handedly to vote witnesses in the top 21 at that time. For a blockchain like most centralized bodies, this can work if the people holders are honest and work for the better good of the people, but as we saw once it turns 180 degrees, things can be fucked up in no time by the power holders. Luckily, blockchain technology has given people the choice to go their own way, and make their own rules for those who want to follow. So for that we can thank Justin by making the choice much easier.
New rules in Hive
As you guys know I like to think about the future. With Steemit the company gone, who also held power in development and funding dapps, one must wonder how the community will have to provide for those two, the rules for development and for Hive entrepreneurs have changed. How will they be funded? Luckily for development we have the community proposal funds, so that wouldn't be much of a problem, only when the funds are not enough. But I have faith the Hive will think of something great.
Entrepreneurs on Hive
I am excited about two big challenges for entrepreneurs
- Now that there is no Steemit Inc. to give out delegation for dapp initial dapp funding the entrepreneurs have to turn to the community
This means that entrepreneurs have to work harder on communicating and keep giving updates. On the one side, this makes it harder for entrepreneurs
as we have seen more often, some just do not like to post often. However, like in the "real" world this has to be done too. And what good
is a project if the team can not communicate it well to the community. - Dapps need to be tailored to community's actual need. In the past entrepreneurs were incentived to look at both. First people tried to get some
initial supports from the community, but when it came to making the ideas they would initially think of if Steemit inc. would like the idea.
Now dapps have to be liked by the majority of the Hive in order to succeed. This means dapps will be talored more to the liking of the
community.
The developments for entrepreneurs is what I am most excited about. There are a few in interesting things to point out about this though.
- Without a structured team to steer a clear way for a blockchain, like we see for platforms such as ethereum and eos. Will the community
be able to take on the role? Will the community work effectively as a Hive? Or will we see the great division like we see in Bitcoin communities.
In the past a Steem hardfork seemed almost impossible and now we had one a matter of a month's time.
What ever will happen these are exciting times for Hive and for blockchain in general.
Use thy voice carefully
We have entered decentralization
Lots of love,

@cryptocurator Hey mate! Yea I hope you have been doing well!
Thank you, I have been busy with rl stuff and it's been going well, so that is keeping me busy. But lately with the our dear friend corona, I have more time on my hands, so we'll see.
Thank you for dropping an greeting after a long time :)
Awesome to see you here and around! I hope we can create a new culture and collaborative environment here, and would love to do something with you one way or the other.
@fredrikaa hey man thanks, I have been occasionally checking in. Now I have more time on my hands, so if I come back I will definitely hit you up :)
The removal of the ninja-mine makes it tempting though. I think this chian will need people like you to be an example of how to be a value creator on the Hive chain and engage in healthy collaboration.
Good luck on this chain and maybe see you around :)
Love it. We need representative for witnesses and for the community.
Long live the hive!!!
