There are some solutions in the form of guest accounts or lite accounts which would be a quite robust layer 2 solutions and could scale infinitely. They cant come fast enough.
Yes for sure that sounds like a good idea for Hive but it would also come down to the specific implementation and overall user experience. If it's more of a band-aid than a fix then it might not be the right approach. Without knowing what their plans are I wouldn't want to speculate too much. In either case, I suppose a band-aid would be better than nothing if it allows people to easily start using Hive without KYC.
Having partners in this space is a must. Connections are extremely valuable. Any negative rivalry would be ill-advised.
Agree 1000%
I cant comment before I see it but I sincerely hope its not a band-aid
