Although a shitty name at that
Hive is actually a pretty okay name, I think. I can't imagine Hive having being called something else. In fact, I think Hive is a much better name than Steemit. The name Hive sort of symbolises a comunity (Bee Hive). I don't know what the hell Steemit symbolises. Lol
This was a very insightful read, man.
Although, I've seen many people mention that CZ helped Sun enforce the hostile takeover, I don't really understand how he helped him.
Yes it's not a shitty name per se, but it's generic. We have another "HIVE" out there and this makes it bad for marketing and identification. But, I guess at that time the name symbolized the unity and resilience of the community.
CZ was pals with Sun allowed Sun access to people's Sun so he could install his own socket witnesses
Interesting. So like you'd have your steem on Binance but you couldn't get access to it?
