I've written before (on the old chain) on the metric of understanding 'Blockchain Value', simply by assessing the actual traffic/activity on the chain. We know that a lot of chains have a great deal of bot activity, but I think we can all agree that this was much less on the Steem blockchain (or was it?). However, I've seen that since the hard fork of the Hive chain, the activity on Steem has (as you would expect it!) taken a MASSIVE beating. Dropping from around 5th position to 15. This isn't good news for Steem as a chain, a community, or an investment. What do you think? Is this death toll for the chain? I'll be observing this list eagerly over the next few weeks whilst I make my mind up about the future of Steem as I think that there is still a future for it.
Data below is from the excellent Block'tivity.
Interesting, the only problem is that there is no corresponding rise of Hive on that list. Or is it somewhere further down?
It isn't yet on the list, I suspect it would be way down if it was even being tracked by the site yet
If you take away all Bernie's spam comments, it'll drop to 50th.
Haha, i didn't consider Bernie. Christ, what the hell was that all about.
Cannot wait for the moment when we outperform the old chain in activity. I am expecting it to happen very soon. Hive is already beating Steem in price, currently worth almost double the price of Steem :)
