Did the Steem Community Just Leave Steem?? What You Need to Know About the Hive Blockchain
Hi Steem Family! (or should I say Hive Fam?)
It has sure been an eventful evening with the news of the Steem Community forking the chain to basically say "bye felicia" to Tron and create a decentralized eco-system that better lines up with the communities values.
In this video, I break everything down and explain what just happened and what people can expect. I discuss the following topics:
How will Hive be different than Steem?
The Hive airdrop and who will receive tokens.
What will happen to the price of steem?
Will the Steem blockchain an Steemit still continue to operate?
How is Hive going to be more decentralized than the current Steem blockchain?
A full breakdown of what happened from a technical perspective and why various dApps and UI's built on steem will need to decide which chain they want to operate in the next few days.
This video was filmed as breaking news right after the announcement was released. It is very possible that depending upon when you watch this video... new information will be available.
Like I said in the video, I rarely say this - but please do subscribe if you found this video helpful. I plan to continue making educational videos about the developments on the Steem blockchain in addition to tutorial videos on Hive. If you'd like to see more content like that, be sure to follow along so you don't miss it! 💕
XO, Lea

GO HIVE! Loved your video I also read the recent posting about it and I'm All In my friend, well done! Upped and resteemed👍💪✊🐝🐝🐝
hahah OMG I love that bee :D
aww thanks Karen! I love that you already have a Hive bitmoji ready to go!! haha
Hahaha he is fun to ride the HIVE wave on lol!
Love it, Karen :)
Really well done video and coverage of the Fork.
Thank you so much guys! It's going to be a crazy week!
I don't imagine steempeak will point at the Hive chain.
They'll have to roll out a new URL. Hivepeak, I'd guess.
My big concern is that we bring as many accounts over as possible. Big tent.
hmm yeah rebranding will likely be a big headache for them. Steem Monsters did it pretty successfully when they changed to Splinterlands. Rebranding is never easy, but over time it works out.
it's surely going to be difficult choice
If steempeak would point towards hive chain, then many of current users would feel abandoned and left out.

They've clarified.
Thanks for sharing Coruscate, that's a fast update/summary on the situation! Perfect for sharing.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you sharing! ❤️
for sure more less things are changing all the time. Hive could be good thing going. Since with many new things on Steemit and Steem. Yes seems to be a bad image if the original group behind steemit are going to Hive, might as well all leave and try something new. Thanks so much for sharing. Perhaps Hive offer a new beginning. Always great work!!!
aww thank you for the kind words! It will be interesting to see how this all plays out!
A semi-technical question when I may? The answer might be in the video but I will ask first and check later :)
What will happen with all the image data stored on Steemit controlled cloud hosting and the links from the Hive based articles?
I presume that:
Thanks!
Ps: fully upvoted, resteemed, the question asked through https://hive.blog/hive-100421/@coruscate/acwmtxdz
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I am actually not sure about your questions - and so I'm hoping someone else can jump in and help out. Perhaps if your content was posted through a dapp like appics or Dtube - your content would remain the same and visible on there- but your "main page" will be blank and start to fill up as you post on hive.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I will post the question elsewhere too. And try to formulate it better.
It's an exciting time for many good and not so good reasons ...
Good luck and keep on producing these great videos :)
Aww thank you!
awesome video! subscribed :)
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼
Will Hive Communities have customizable URLs?
I doubt that's a top priority for them right now. I have a whole list of things i'd like to see done to make communities better - that being one of them. haha I hope that once the dust settles with all of this, the hive developers will start looking at improvements like that.
Yeah probably not. I agree. Thanks.
