What drew me first to Steemit, and then to the Hive fork after the Justin Sun mess, was the idea of a place where what I write is much more censorship-resistant than it was on sites like Facebook. I never thought of it as a token to get rich quick. I want the promised longevity of a blockchain, not a flash-in-the-pan pump-and-dump shitcoin. I think Hive is worth focusing on the long term plan.
Yea... I do think HIVE is treated like a poopcoin by many users... which to me is unfortunate.
