I am more hopeful than optimistic about Hive. That will change if they fix the Witness Selection/retention system, if not, then it will just be another steem. If you have not looked over at @ionomy and read about their air drop, you might want to hold off on powering up until you do read it. Drop one seemed to go pretty good for a few.
I do not think that things will settle down on Steem for at least another two months if even then. To much and to many odd happenings.
I do not ahve a very large account, but I am powering down 2000 steem which I will move to Hive, still plan on leaving about 800 in steem to vote and as a just in case place thing if things do improve or if someone rescues steem. But it seems like steem is bound for the chopping block. I know Hive could end up that way also, but there seems to be much more hope of things working out.
Rumor control has it that steemmonsters may be trying to make the move, and that an equivalent Steem-Engine will be built on Hive. SMT's were almost done being tested on Steem, and there is some meandering chat and talk about transitioning it into a Hive Media Token (HMT).
So in conclusion, hold it liquid until you read @ionomy post.
I appreciate the input, thank you. Going to go and look for the post now.
