RE: Are Both The Hive Blockchain And The Steem Blockchain Merging?

in #hive4 years ago

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.

Sort:  

Steempeak operated for some period of time as jarvie and asgarth thought appropriate and then they deprecated their service for the steem blockchain.
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.
