Hi @alex-rourke
I think I get it.
I see what you see, especially with something like Dash, which is almost as old as Bitcoin, and does everything faster, cheaper, and more private to Bitcoin.
Yet Dash languishes in obscurity.
I think there is only one bitcoin, and while it isn't perfect, it's still bitcoin, so working with Bitcoin makes much more sense then against Bitcoin.
Hive should not repeat the mistakes of all those dead coins Bitcoin Black, Bitcoin Green, Bitcoin Gold, etc
As you have said, many coins have died trying to replace bitcoin.
There is no need for anymore coins to die on that hill.
