Sometimes, change is not something we choose, it is forced upon us by circumstances we have no control over.

I remind myself of this: Although we have a "loss" here, the creation of — and migration to — HIVE may end up representing a true watershed moment in the history of decentralization as a concept: A group of independent minded people proved that it is possible to take on a type of "big korporate" entity and leave them with little more than a pile of useless rubble. Steem is... very little, without its community.
