I agree with you for the most part. Hive is the only chain I'm on every day. The only chain that has an application I use everyday.
Hive certainly has a lot going for it. But it does have some problems too.
The main problem I see is the lack of smart-contracts. Or smart media tokens SMT as they were referred to back in the Steen days. Yeah we have Hive Engine, but from my understanding there's some differences between the two.
The drama and split with Steem didn't help much either.
And I still have a big problem with the 13 week power down too. No other chain does this. And the security argument is complete BS.
The frontend could also use some modernization. It hasn't changed in years. It looks and feels super outdated to me.
Regardless, Hive is very undervalued imo. It's one of the coins I'm planning on stocking up for awhile.
That some difference is that the printing of new tokens on HE is entirely determined by one person - Khal in the case of LEO - TBH it was great that he refunded us all that LEO from from the first WLEO 'hacking' incident - but that should also have set people's alarm bells ringing - he was only able to do that so efficiently because he's the sole issuer of the token.
Had that been Hive, you'd need 20 people agree to it, well 17.
It's why I hold back on shilling LEO and bashing Hive like some people do - Hive is 17 times as secure as LEO.
Someone can kidnap Khal and force him to forward the entire unprinted LEO fund to their account, they can't do that with one of the Hive witnesses.
Not that I want to give anyone any ideas. But that's the way it is.
