So tother day i was trying to imagine what life would turn like if:
Everyone who dislikes #Steemit now decides to use it, but as well as Hive.
So, they make content in Hive, but then just copy that content directly to Steemit. If they set up a Hive-type community in Steemit, they can start to control where money goes. But if they are not successful, they still have each other in the Hive world.
But, everyone on Steemit could, or is, doing the same thing?. Except, language barriers probably causing some issue sometimes.
However, the type of people on one side might be "more powerful" than the other side.
e.g. there are countries so big with many people, but there are small countries just as powerful as the big ones. Should a fight happen online, it needs "lazy" countries, e/g, people who can sit on the computers or wifi all day - how quick until the big rich-but-poor countries can't survive, how long before hive could gobble up steemit again?
