RE: The HIVE Titanic is Sinking as the Honeymoon Begins to Wind Down
The closer we get to the end of that 13 weeks power down period, the clearer the real horizon will become for everyone.
People will probably only believe it once they see it. Can't blame them though. The force of repetition was immense during the days of the HF, people were overloaded with the same information over and over. (Almost) everyone seemed to agree, while in fact it were the same bunch of people agreeing with the same bunch of people, on every post.
(De)centralization was never the real problem with Steemit. People being more money oriented than social oriented was and is. Hive is not doing better in that department.
That said, if people are really happy with Hive, then be happy with Hive. Spread that love to others, stay away from trolling others who feel the same way, just about another platform.
Bring a spark to what you love.
I couldn't agree with you more; and I have made similar arguments in my posts. They have only transferred their mindset from Steem to HIVE.
As for the 13-week Power Down, I'm already seeing funds moving in both directions, but there is more HIVE going to STEEM. People are not waiting for 13 weeks to pass because they are taking advantage of the price of HIVE being close to STEEM before the HIVE token tanks. STEEM is also having more funds coming in from the new Witnesses. Remember that part of a Witness' responsibility is to keep the SBD at $1, which the HIVE High Council failed to do when they were here, and are failing to do with the HBD.
