A fish and a bird can date and marry. But where did they live?
Maybe because I'm so recent, a little over a year old, this proposal completely confused me.
The question that comes to mind is: how did they cohabitate?
Regarding the Steem vs. HIVE war, you know better than I do. Blurt appears to be a HIVE graveyard—users disappointed mainly by downvotes (an important tool against abusers and greedy people). How would everyone get a seat at the table?
What HIVE needs is a good visual identity and a consistent marketing plan to attract new users.
Then, there must be support and assistance for these new users (as OCD does in its integration plan. But there must be more OCDs).
Think of it as a multi poster. Someone could still hang out on HIVE be unaware the other app even exists. This would have cohesive game theory and even the people coming to it wouldn't necessarily have initial knowledge of what STEEM, Blurt, and HIVE are. HIVE hasn't been marketed in a large way. There have been some grass roots initiatives which have been really good but we aren't brining in the masses. There have been moments when we have. Jerry Banfield's STEEM marketing campaigns from 2017/2018 and Splinterlands onboarding a ton of users last cycle.
I agree with you there needs to be a consistent marketing plan that is fresh and new. This is what this will provide. A lot of chains try to do a rebrand. We don't need to do any of that or change anything on the protocol level. This will ride on top and provide extra rewards, extra functionality, and be marketed. Community members here could use it and tap into that or not.
