They aren't issues NOW because this is just not big enough to be a bother to both gov and bigtech. That's the goal though no? So then logic will ultimate mean there's a storm coming that people here aren't ready for. The entire crypto sphere really.
Without a doubt, I agree with you 100% on this. There is something coming that people are not prepared for, both within the crypto world and outside. However, focusing upon that, few realize the force that we are going to be butting up against. Power is not something anyone give up freely and there is a lot of it held by a handful of poeple.
Government is a problem, but then again so is big tech. That is the first battle that we see forming. Who will win that is anyone's guess but with the way these tech companies are acting, I think they know the field is in their favor. They usurp any single government since national boundaries do not apply to them.
As for the point you bring up about Hive and the different components, I also agree with you. There is a lot that still needs attention. Simply having a blockchain doesnt make anything decentralized. We still have URLs that can be zapped, images stored on cloud which is run by a few companies, and even an internet access that is controlled by a few companies.
Even the DeFi world, mostly housed on Ethereum, could pretty much be obliterated by Amazon since a great many of the apps are actually housed on AWS.
Yes there is still a lot of building to be done. Hive can pop to great heights and still be a rounding error on the Internet. An explosion to 100K users (which is likely a 10x) is still nothing online. With Facebook entering the fray with their Diem token, that is a new target. Is this a sign of Zuckerberg's confidence that he is above the governments? Perhaps. Sure they pulled back a bit after the resistance in Europe but that did nothing to stop his march forward. I feel this will put a new target out there in addition to Bitcoin.
Something like Hive, even at 100K users (or even a million) still is under the radar. It will be a few years before even the hybrid financial system of Defi with centralized, traditional apps over the top of them becomes mainstream. Social media, gaming and things like that could change quickly but, again, compared to EA sports, there is still a ton to do.
