It was the only logical way to give HIVE a competitive advantage over higher ranked market cap coins.

These other sidechains with their own tokens.. while unpopular opinion, are trying to enrich themselves or their brand of crypto / side-chain / project or whatever and that is fine... But that isn't what the HSC project is about.. It's about bringing more functionality to HIVE as a network and everyone profiting off of what's done via the HSC platform. The market is pretty friggin' clear on what it wants for smart contracts capability and unless we're offering it somehow, we're not even going to sniffed at as a competitive or something worth taking a second look at.

Highly appreciate the support man, quite excited to have looked at the EVM code thanks to binance and realized that something greater than what they built could be achieved with a little ingenuity. Looking to write up the proposal for the HSC development overview today and we'll see where that all takes us in a day or so. Got a fair amount of coding and writing to do today so I'll get back to it.

Have a gooder captain.
