How long have you been here? Until last year the Steem blockchain was stifled by players who are no longer valid and the platform has grown by leaps and bounds since the fork.
LeoFinance has been rolling out big stuff and has more coming down the pike.
Splinterlands will have a land expansion and a DAO sometime this year, maybe next year on the DAO, and a new governance token with a 5 year roadmap.
Dcity just launched an update and I think Exode has been talking about something being ready soon.
I think everything seems to more or less be going great.
2017 and yes those are all outside influences not the HIVE core devs. That's my point here. The Hive core devs don't seem to really be advancing the chain instead it's all outside projects doing the real lifting around here.
Ah, but I see a lot of stuff going on in the DHF, and HF25(?) is just around the corner, isn’t it? Who do you feel is slacking and in which particular regard? I don’t keep up with individuals for this purpose so I have a lot to learn.
