Hive, the Media and App Platform {MAP}. Many things have changed on a deeper level. Preparing Hive for a rocksteady future, like the development team did, that is the best way to go, I think. Kudos!
Had the joy of discovering some dApps recently build on top of Hive, like d.Buzz and there is so much more possible. Hive-engine one day merging with the main blockchain engine. Saves a lot of time.
The amazing tech behind the Hive blockchain is still heavily underestimated. For now that does still not have to be much of an issue. Slowly keep on improving. One day Hive could even speed op from 3 seconds blocks to ... 1?
Ethereum has gas problems, no pun intended, but it is getting constipated. Same with EOS, great those half second blocks, but the CPU costs are locking it down.
The future is partly Instant Token Swaps, also something Hive can do way better than the ones based on Ethereum.
Smart-contracts stored on the blockchain, but running on the client's computer. Things can be improved, watching where the others bite the dust.
Anyway I see a bright future for Hive. Now I just hope the market price will not go up to $ 12, - too soon.
