At the beginning I had mixed feelings when we forked out from Steem, I thought power comes from unity
It does and that is exactly what happened. The people who originally got together to develop Hive were united in their views. This has followed to the community.
People thought there was a split at the time when the unity was among those who has the capabilities to move things forward.
Well... It turned out some people are still more interested in centralisation than decentralization. Tempted with the idea of "big money" coming into play. There comes brake of this unity, it's sad indeed, but might be better in terms of future, another failure point has been eliminated.
Of course this might be seen as demaging but for now I see community is only stronger and more cosolidated. IMO real growth will come with next boom at cryptomarkets. And there is full agree on my side, unity at the core of project is untouched. This brings optimism
