Some of you may be shocked at the title of this article here of mine. However, this question has been bewildering me for a substantial period of time, and I am seeking an answer for it. Back when I first signed up for a Hive account, PeakD.com was a part of the Hive blockchain and only a part of the Hive blockchain. The Steem blockchain had its own version of it known as SteemPeak.com. Well, for some time now, whenever I have attempted to go to SteemPeak.com, I get this one screen that advises me that SteemPeak.com has upgraded to PeakD.com.
Now, I am very very confused. I already have a PeakD channel connected to my Hive account. Whenever I publish an article on my Hive-Blog channel, it appears on my PeakD channel also. As a matter of fact, I always go to my PeakD channel after publishing an article on my Hive-Blog channel so that I may add two additional tags to the eight tags that I have already typed below my article. Today I published an article on my Steemit channel after having published nothing there for two years. I was curious to find out whether that article automatically got duplicated onto my PeakD channel, but it didn't.
Could somebody tell me how my PeakD channel would work if I have both a Steem account and a Hive account that I wish to use in conjuction with it? It appears that my PeakD channel only works in conjunction with my Hive-Blog channel and that I would not be able to access my Steem, Steem Power or Steem Dollars from my PeakD channel. My Hive cryptocurrency shows up on my PeakD channel instead of my Steem cryptocurrency. Therefore, I figured that much out. How can both the Steem blockchain and the Hive blockchain share the PeakD.com writing sub-platform if they are supposed to be two different blockchains? Something just doesn't fit the picture here. It's almost like having Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office at the same time. It simply doesn't make any sense to me at all. How is it possible?
Is there a way that I can use my PeakD channel in conjunction with both my Hive account and my Steem account without messing either account up? Somehow it doesn't seem possible, and I find it very unfair. I'm so confused.
Could somebody explain all of this to me in my comments section below? Any responses to this article here of mine would be greatly appreciated. The only thing that comes to mind for me is that the Hive blockchain and the Steem blockchain are planning to merge together as one blockchain. This possibility has me greatly concerned, because it means that the Hive blockchain could start using advertisements to fund its existence. Advertisements are usually the first sign of censorship, which is so not good.

Nobody on hive wants anything to do with
steem, they stole millions of dollars from our largest whales, and some others.I got nipped at the api.
I could't see my own posts without the direct url.
So, what you have seen is peakd redirecting you to the hive.
Hive.blog, ecency.com, leofinance.com, dpoll.io, d.buzz, and dozens of others are all front ends that post to the same chain.
Post on one and view on all the others.
Totally normal.
If people are typing "www.steempeak.com" in their address bar at the top of their computer screen and they're being redirected to PeakD.com, something strange has to be going on with that Justin Sun. As far as I understand, the Hive blockchain has always been in control of the PeakD.com website. Once someone signs up for a PeakD channel, they're signing up for a Hive account. Could it be that the Steem blockchain is on the cusp of collapse and this is the way that Justin Sun is letting the world know? It would seem highly unlikely that the Hive blockchain and the Steem blockchain would share a website (PeakD.com) like that. It would almost be like HBO and Showtime sharing their customer databases with each other. A lot of features that the Steem blockchain used to have no longer exist. They don't have their chatroom feature anymore, and their Steemd.com feature has been down for a lengthy period of time. On the Quora forum, some people have even commented that they don't think that the Steem writing platform will survive for very much longer. On the other hand, if Justin Sun wanted to purchase the Hive blockchain, he would not be able to do so, would he? That is, if enough people on Hive were to object to it? Because I know that the minute that advertisements get displayed on the Hive writing platform, censorship is going to be everywhere on the blockchain. I've read complaints on the Internet about the Steem writing platform imposing censorship already, and I knew it was going to happen once advertisements showed up on that writing platform. In any event, may the Hive writing platform avoid the same gloomy fate as the Steem writing platform.
Steempeak operated for some period of time as jarvie and asgarth thought appropriate and then they deprecated their service for the
steemblockchain.Now there is only hive/peakd and the steem url sends folks here.
Jsun has nothing coming from hive.
He can buy all he wants and when it is discovered to be him we just fork away, again.
Taking our profits from his buy in with us.
Hive will be what we make of it.
If we don't like the way things are going, we can only buy more to change it.
Or, we can #steemicide and rant and rave about how we are leaving but never actually leave.
Up to us.
I think we are doing better than ever.
This next hardfork might get us some attention.
Maybe the movie they are making will break us out.
In any event, we solve too many problems to not persist, imo.
At the end of the day, I guess that nobody is getting rich on the Steem blockchain except for Justin Sun.
I think some of the Venezuelans are doing ok.
I doubt he can find buyers for steem.
He likely supports the price with his own buying.
