It is an interesting subject. Cryptocurrencies seems as the maximum representation os free market capitalism, the ideal system without State regulation... However, Hive it's something else, it involves a community of users, of humans.
Some time ago I wrote a post comparing Hive with Proudhon's ideas of a mutualist anarchy. Mutualism involves cooperatives, autonomous communitys, etc. Proudhon talks about a "bank of the people", maybe a little bit similar to DAOs.
