RE: Token price of Steem or Hive would determine where the community goes
You voted for Justin’s sock puppets.
Steem and Hive cost almost nothing to run. High token price didn’t bring about mass adoption even when the price was incredibly high. Fuck the exchanges, fuck speculation. Grassroots adoption, community and the core value of decentralization and censorship resistance are everything.
I voted for witnesses from both camps. I am neutral. I have been here for over 3 years, seen many come and go. At the end of the day, people self-interest always run into confusion to that of the community. If you think the flags and the "who powering down" was bad on Steem, wait until you get on a chain where finances become an issue.
For your info, there been about 10 noble Steem clones, usually 6 months is their period and then it folds, when witnesses have to pay bills and developers need to take care of their expenses its going to be a nightmare. No one from Hive has put a financial plan in place, decentralization and the ethos of it only sounds good until you have your own self-interest to take care of.
I don't.
I know there have been and still are several Steem forks.
Did you know that after MIRA it costs about $20 a month to run a full node? That's a frickin' cable subscription. The network effect of the current user base and all the apps, some of which people pay money to use (Splinterlands) is worth vastly more than that.
All the forks you're talking about were created years ago. The core community was always on Steem. Now Steem will die because everyone, including the largest stakeholder, Justin Sun will dump it. See you on Hive.
