My response to @theycallmedan's initiative about what Hive means to me.
In this episode of the LEO Show, I covered my thoughts on Hive now and in the future. I gave a few of the reasons as to why I believe Hive can achieve the mission of being the gateway to crypto that Steem was always meant to be, but didn't have the means and motivation to accomplish.
A Clean Slate.
I’ve been on Steem for over 3 years. To me, Hive is the Steem communities process of shedding the deadweight of Steemit, Inc., Ned and the false promises that he continued to send our way.
I think the Steem community & blockchain had always been reliant on Steemit, Inc. to spearhead not only development itself, but development costs and project scopes. With a decentralized autonomous funding mechanism, Hive’s potential to innovate is exponentially greater than Steem ever was under centralized leadership.
This is the most passionate group of people that I have ever met. It’s also a group of extremely intelligent and talented people who can get shit done. Look no further than the creation of Hive for proof of that.
To me, Hive is the best of what Steem had to offer — community, passion and creativity.
Steem was held down by the deadweight of its centralized dictator creator: Ned & Steemit. After Steemit was taken over by someone even worse and became Justin & Steemit, the tides changed for the worse. Now that we are free of both, I think Hive has kept the best of what Steem had to offer and left most of the negatives behind.
There’s still debate. There’s still in-fighting.. but that’s the result of passion. Everyone has a vision for Hive and Hive means something that is slightly different to each individual who calls it their “digital home”. This combined with the fact that we have a format that allows everyone to have a voice and a say in where the ship goes (i.e. the Decentralized Autonomous Funding mechanism) is what makes Hive so special.
