Exactly. Dont say i said it, lol, but naming our blockchain Hive was a mistake.
Not much we can do about it now except fight hard to exceed Hive blockchain technologies in the supremacy in exposure.
In the example of Vegeta. It can be done.

We could bite the bullet and rebrand. The longer we wait, the more confusion and more expensive in terms of lost mindshare when we do finally rebrand.
It might not be so hard to get consensus if we do come up with a good brand, witnesses sometimes just go with the flow when someone makes a coherent plan and enough people get behind it.
Yeah, i thought about that. Once @blocktrades figures out SMTs and when we will make strides there it would be a definite maybe.
Im positive most investors arent averse to rebranding.
But wed need massive change. Massive effort on achieving consensus on what we want to do.
What we want Hive to be. Its not just about changing the name.
We still carry Steem baggage. Wed need a clear focus on one thing that is a game changer.
Im thinking plug and play BSC, ETH, Solana competitor that requires 0 coding skill. And i mean 0.
A child coming in creating their own dapp and token. We have been, kind of set up for it, but never came to fruition with @ned.
We have stuff in place. Stuff people understand. Subreddits in communities. Blogging, gaming. etc.
You want people being able to create an account with a phone number verification, click 5 times and they have a BSC, ETH type token ready to go with current Hive proof of brain.
That is my hope. Making crypto so accessible that a nun can create a worship token, a kindergartener can create a hello Kitty token.
Thats where i see Hive.
Im just throwing out ideas as i write this but making something STUPIDLY (and i mean stupidly) easy to access is what i feel can take us to the top.
As I was tagged here, I'll respond briefly.
I think there's no real brand confusion of significance between the two names. The fact that the OP knows it'll be a surprise and spends so much time telling people here about that company pretty much says it all, IMO. I've worked in cryptocurrency for years and wasn't aware of them prior to the launch of Hive.
I have laughed at a couple people who were seriously concerned about the trademark claim, because I have a fair amount of experience in this area, and I never thought there was anything to be concerned about with that regard.
Nor do I think that the choice of the name "Hive" has any real positive or negative impact on Hive's success. The biggest issue I've seen is a few people on chain who keep complaining about it and whatever time someone else spends replying about it. I know that won't be a popular opinion with them, but that's how I feel about it. The time spent could be much more profitably focused on external marketing, in my opinion.
As a side note, I do agree that what does need to be done is focus on making Hive the most attractive platform for blockchain-based software development and marketing that aspect of it.
There is a branding issue. But its more on the side of their company asserting the name that doesnt really justify their niche.
I gave an example of the Vegeta condiment vs Vegeta anime. That is a true problem that has been even discussed in our news.
Thats not saying that we cant battle it.
Thats nonsense. It really is. If anything "Hive Blockchain technolgies" is in the wrong here for misleading their investors.
But i still have to mention the example of "No Mans Sky" (a videogame) that was sued by "Sky" the media conglomerate over use of "Sky" (as if they own the sky) in their effort to get them to change the name. It failed spectacularly. Giving credence to our position that any trademark dispute over "Hive" is ridiculous.
haha. Come on. I comment less than you do. Things are set up for tomorrow. I need some time to speak my mind. Share some ideas i might have. :)
I might be lying there. But im not lying by much. 😄
To clarify, since I could see it might be misunderstood since I was replying to you, I wasn't really classifying you in this group.
