RE: Considering To Move Your Business To The Hive Blockchain? Don't. - An Open Letter to @justineh
Your words resonate logic, truth, and facts.
I had past experience with the person you are referring to, she basically told me before Steemit Inc had done nothing in the past 4 years, she thinks everything that can be found on (github.com/steemit) is as easy to develop as buying a lollipop and eat like it was nothing. To expect her to understand advanced concepts related to development and business strategy is a waste of time and a huge mistake if I may say. To be honest, it's already a luxury that you've spent so much time to explain yourself to her.
One of the reasons why I never go to the Hive Discord to discuss the exclusion list is because they put in a few carefully chosen PR agents that truly believe in the cause, no matter what you say, you will get a barrage and a bombardment of repetitive walls of predefined ideas and texts. A fanatic believer does not care whether something is right or wrong, he will continue to defend a set of ideas regardless of the facts or the moral ground. Why? vanity, pride, thirst for power ...
I would strongly suggest that in the future you talk only to people who can reason and make sense, speaking with a fanatic in particular with public relations power will constantly force you to always explain yourself publicly due to the sneaky moves and distortion of reality as shown above.
To this day, I am still trying to decipher why TF has not received support from the closed circle before. You must have done something right all this time, otherwise, you would have already gotten more support from the private club. I know this might be weird, but you can definitely see it as a good sign. You have learned difficult lessons and you have understood really important realities, you have gained invaluable experience and you are now more aware of what awaits you, the price of being independent.
My only regret is that I cannot provide you with more support. I am well aware that Steem is not ideal and needs a lot of work, but for what is not worth it, I am currently working on the construction of several projects, you can certainly count on us to support you in any possible ways.
It's amazing to read a comment from someone who can analyse both sides and draw an opinion based on his own thoughts, who doesn't seek confirmation from someone else. I'm sure you'd be able to defend us, but also criticise us in a civilized manner if that was the case.
I'm not going there to discuss anything anymore for the same reason, there's no debate nor introspection. They defend blindly their cause as if in fear of leaving the comfort, or maybe, people just want to be accepted, to feel they are part of a group. Everyone that I see trying to bring opposition is immediately defeated with words in order to impact, leaving no alternative but defending themselves instead of focussing on the topic. Another tactic is to just be passive and say "well... you can fork the blockchain then... this is decentralized"
There were amazing discussions on how to make governance more secure and better, also discussions on how to create a more sustainable and fair token distribution. Do I have to say it didn't atract any of the names that would be affected by changes on this?
Steem has its problems, but Hive hasn't fixed some of them either.
