@blocktrades put together a post that announced the formation of a new blockchain called Hive. It is put together by community developers (30 or more) and will be a fork of Steem.
In this video I discuss what I know about it and how things are going to unfold.
Here is the Blocktrades announcement:

If the new chain needs introductory/explainer videos or graphic design, I will try to contribute as best as I can!!! I just got a new job but it's part time so there's some flexibility.
Hive is a perfect name. Mess with the hive and you get stung lol
Hive! I love it!! Lets go!!
And how are we gonna call the users?
Bees?
lol we should use all the different bee-terms instead of fish-terms like we do now.
etc.
Hivers ? Hiveites ... Hiveans Hive hiveians ?
The race is on. Who's going to be the Queen bee?
Exciting times indeed @taskmaster4450! I am cautiously optimistic!
I am in for the complete decentralization and the money will follow.
Hopefully most current Steem Apps migrates to Hive.
Thanks for sharing this our way
I have a feeling many will @joetunex. The developers who put this together, many of them are the ones behind the apps so there will be at least a handful that migrate.

The branding is interesting to me... I think of how steam is used on bee hives to subdue them temporarily. I wonder if the creators made that connection, but it's a VERY interesting one!
I thought it was smoke and not steam that was used.
Ohhhh dang you're right, shows how little I know about bees...
Okay, so now smoke.io is antithetical to hive haha... :D
We prove again that we are as decentralized as it gets. What ever the word in the blockchain space about DPOS, people who aren't insiders, don't know why we voted for the witnesses. I always trusted them more, but i had never expected things to play out this way. That stake that was supposed to get funneled back into the Steem(hive) blockchain should still be acquired by the community in a law suit? After all that happened, i'd say we, the hive are better off without tron !
There is a newish blockchain called Uhive
Which is a great concept.
But, Hive is a great name and I'm onboard, obviously.
I got a question, if the new blokchain is hive, what domain will be used as hive.com and hive.org are taken.
I am not sure what they are going with. Hive.io maybe?
Or perhaps we will just used Steempeak, Steemleo, and other tribes that want to be involved as they are redirected to the new chain.
Maybe there is no main site, @sames, like there was with Steemit.com. Front ends are up to the individual developers who want to build them.

Yeah that does make some sense. And not having a main strong domain can prevent centralization of a central figure.
Yeah! I’m singing Kumbayah and locking arms too!!!

Things just keep getting more interesting!
The streaming of 3speak does not work well today, but I read the post and I am very excited.
Awesome summary of the happenings! Is there a fol date yet?
Roadmap with more details due out tomorrow or the day after.

This. Is. Exciting.
I've got some hopes for the new chain, and I'm excited to see how everything develops from here.
I like It
This is great news.... I am ready to go.
Big wakeup call. Didn't appreciate how powerful and important everyone having a voice is until JS threatened to throw it all down the drain.
The witness setup was not perfect by any means. But now all subtleties of coming to an accurate and fair community consensus have been gutted in favor of just meeting the shocking bare minimum of "the top witnesses should not be straw yesmen to a single corporate interest".
Summary:
In this video, the speaker discusses the recent announcement of the fork from Steam into a new blockchain called Hive. The Hive blockchain is being developed by over 30 developers and is intended to be a more cost-effective platform to operate. All historical data from Steam accounts will be maintained on Hive, with a one-for-one airdrop for Steam holders except for the ninja mine stake. The new initiative aims to decentralize the blockchain further, utilizing community expertise for growth and development. The speaker emphasizes the strength of the community and its ability to navigate challenges, expressing excitement for the future of decentralization.
Detailed Article:
The video opens with the speaker, Task, introducing the topic of the recent announcement about the fork from Steam to a new blockchain named Hive. This initiative was revealed in a personal post, likely from Blocktrades, indicating that Steam is undergoing a transformation into Hive. The development of Hive involves a sizeable team of over 30 developers, focusing on creating a more cost-effective blockchain platform.
Task highlights that all historical data of user accounts will be retained on Hive, ensuring a seamless transition for existing Steam holders. However, the ninja mine stake will not be included in the airdrop, a decision made by the blockchain developers. This move towards Hive is positioned as a community-driven initiative, emphasizing decentralization and community participation in the project's growth.
The speaker notes that while the developers have the technical expertise to implement the new blockchain, community involvement will be crucial for its expansion. Task acknowledges the diverse skill sets within the community, including marketing, technical, artistic, and business backgrounds, all of which can contribute to the development of Hive.
The discussion moves on to address the anticipated changes in the governance structure of the blockchain, indicating a shift towards a more decentralized model. Task emphasizes the importance of community support in this transition, citing the lack of backing for Justin Sun from both developers and applications on Steam.
Furthermore, the speaker mentions key applications like Steampeak, Steamleo, Actifit, and tribes like Deep Horn and Splinterlands that are expected to transfer to Hive, ensuring continuity for users. Task underscores the significance of community resilience in overcoming challenges, highlighting the community's united front against threats to decentralization.
In conclusion, Task expresses strong optimism for the future of the Hive blockchain, citing the robust community support as a driving force behind its success. The video closes on a positive note, emphasizing the community's dedication to decentralization and their collective journey towards a more inclusive and decentralized ecosystem.
