The good ole days. Isn't it amazing how quickly things can change in blockchain and cryptocurrency. That was only a couple of years ago and Hive great by amazing leaps. The same is true for SpkNetwork which is now running a decentralized node system. Wait until we see what happens over the next year.
Money attacks are difficult to withstand but Hive did it. Whether it is from someone like Sunny Boi or Wall Street, we have to prepare the same. Having dedicated block producers is a good starting point. We also have strong coin distribution. This is something the likes of Ethereum cannot claim.
One of the biggest shifts was moving that stake to a DAO, which helps with funding developers. Also, look at the advancement of HBD, Hive's algorithmic stablecoin. Who would have guessed at the potential that was bringing to the table at that time.
We are much better off today then when we were looking to have the AMA between those two.
