No CEO or gatekeepers
One of the things I believe other chains have over us are clear leadership and vision. I am not saying we need a CEO but our "leadership" is largely not leading, happy behind the curtain, without any unified idea of where Hive is going which means the community doesn't know where Hive is going and that in turn means when Hive is communicated outside to interested parties, it is described as a blogging platform.

This means DeSo, Rally, etc will get the attention and we will continue to languish, happy in the knowledge that they might be happy with their major exchanges and high valuations but they don't realize we have the best technology.
