RE: Hive is Bitcoin's future sidechain.

in #hive3 years ago (edited)

Both Bitcoin and Hive can't scale to a level of Instagram, or Facebook. Bitcoin definitely can't. The former Steem developers told us flat out that Steem can't scale to the level we want. So I imagine that Hive can't either without some form of advancement in blockchain. Hive can scale to millions of users but not the same level as Instagram or Facebook. And well Bitcoin is just useless when it comes to scalability even with lightning network you would never be able to build a social network on BTC. It's just not going to happen. I have nothing against Hive or Bitcoin, but if you want a large social network to scale we need better advancements in technology. Which is going to come from people like Cardano's Charles Hoskinson. Free speech is also only just one of the issues plaguing social media companies. There's other things that need to be looked at like information distribution and helping users discern what is real and fake.
