If Hive split did not happen, my crypto experience would likely have ended.
I think there would be many similar - maybe me too. At least from a posting perspective. I might still invest, but likely only into BTC and Eth.
The entertainment value of Hive is only one aspect of the block chain, and long term I do believe that the value of other aspects of Hive Block Chain will have a positive effect for me.
What I am hoping for is a multi-pronged system where people can choose their experience and still have plenty of options to explore further if they want.
