Is Hive the Real Deal??

in #hive4 years ago (edited)

I was on Steem in 2018 and it was sad to watch it die. But it's dead, right? And Hive is alive. Or so it seems.

I still need to be convinced that the issues Steem had won't just happen again on Hive. Anyone have a summary of the changes of the past few years? What makes Hive different than 2017-18 Steem?

@HivePeople wanted me to tag them. I'm acsguy on twitter.

same circle jerk but not under communist rule

it's hard to sum up all the changes, but on Hive, you can't power up instantly and vote for witnesses. This prevents things like Justin Sun getting huge exchanges to overthrow governance. The main things to consider with Hive are these: Ned Scott, who was not only a moron, but a bad business person, is no longer part of Hive. He is gone, gone gone! He sold out to JS and showed his true colors. Hive also has a decentralized Fund, which was never on Steem. Hive has a real chance at making things right, as long as we all pitch in do our part, speak up when things go wrong, etc.
