RE: The Slow Death Of Steem/Steemit

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Reintegrating STEEM with HIVE would be an extremely interesting experiment ... a reverse hardfork.

HIVE is a better currency while STEEM is a better brand. Getting the brand back would improve the HIVE ecosystem.

I disagree. STEEMIT has nothing HIVE needs, whatever brand they had is tainted IMO.

I agree but I'd use the word "toxic" rather than "tainted". What happened is permanent on the blockchain. There is no cleaning it up so it will always be poisoned. We became something different with Hive. The Steem brand needs to end and begin as something different.

Toxic is fine by me...

The taint of the SteemIt brand still affects HIVE. Notably, it keeps HIVE from getting the press the platform deserves. So, even though SteemIt has relatively little to offer, reducing the negative impact of SteemIt will help improve the overall ecosystem.

I'm intrigued by the prospect of this.

If Justin Sun is looking to just dump it for pennies on the dollar, then the Hive DHF should make an offer.

Even just to get the valuable steemit.com domain and make that a Hive front-end.

Would make everything right in the world again :)

I don't think so. Hive has done too well on it's own to reconnect with a broken and regretful "ex", unless we did it for a gimmick, in order to basically just rebrand with a different name and theme.

Turn the whole thing into a mockery of the STEEM/HIVE fork with half the community trying to get back together with STEEM, while the others run in the other direction to live free from all that nonsense. :D
