Tbh I think you give him WAY too much credit. Considering the recent developments w hive, they seem to have a fairly decent game plan; however, I would not consider it one that Justin could work to disrupt.
They have devs and exchanges willing to support but, personally, don't think this thing is over by a longshot.
At this point, I have relegated myself to being a fly on the wall and observing. I had taken a more active stance against Sun before everybody else but was largely ignored / dismissed. Not that it would have changed anything.
