You are quite right that these are two very serious, respected and experienced people in blockchain who are noticing the huge potential of Hive.
I met and debated Charles a couple of years ago in Tel Aviv. His intellectual rigour with regard to cryptography and computer science is very impressive.
Did you win the debate or was it a draw?

I actually posted about it in one of my earliest posts on this blockchain.

I think it was a draw but he gave me a nickname. :-)
So if we call you The Miner, you will respond? LOL

Since then I've become much more familiar with the benefits of PoS, but the whole Justin Sun episode proved my point re PoS vulnerability (maybe he is a Chinese government agent).
PoS, especially DPOS like Hive, is great for DApps and social media but not for the ultimate security of funds which require capital and energy intensive mining (ie Bitcoin).
So for serious money call me The Miner.
For everything else I'm a Hiver.
