Ok please use the words "in the world" or "in the whole world" or similar in the future ;), then you will not have problems with the truth...
About Hive, what you describe will never happen. The game theory is very strong in Hive, stronger then you know... the top 20 witnesses makes like ~$8000 per month last time I calculated and it cost only a fraction to run a node... many many people are emotionally invested in the chain, a part of their life story... even if the chain broke down (which will never happen) then a new group could spin up a new chain with the history of hive/steem in it...
"Hive" is forever... you believe in fairy tales, probably made from top witnesses to argue for higher pay lol so simple it is.... game theory is stronger then fairy tales
Ok, noted about the terminology ;)
As for the game theory - it's just a theory ;) needs proofs. I've heard fairy tales from the top witnesses mostly about Steem quick death and Hive rising after the hardfork but none of them proved true
I think I floated away from the topic sorry about that. And thanks for the upvote, I'll check LasseCash community
I guess many others waited to see how the Hive will work, before actually switch to it.
