Hive vs Steem, how community owned network can be better than privately owned

[Ucy]

Hive is a decentralized cryptocurrency network, a fork of Steem(Steemit), that priorize on blogging or posting. It also has alot of other things built on top of it, such as decentralized exchanges, stores, games, fitness platform (rewards people to keep fit), etc

The network started after a takeover of steemit by an individual. Steemit users weren't so happy about the takeover/sales, they protested, probably hoping to have it reversed but nothing happened, and they ended up creating Hive from the steem network around 2020 or so.  [It's important to let you know that if you created an account on steemit before the split, you can simply import it on Hive and possibly enjoy the benefit of owning an equal amount of coins and other assets you owned on steem]

I rejoined Hive network early last year after abandoning it to focus more on bitcointalk, and was impressed how far they have gone. It's an example of how a network own by a community can be better than the individually owned if the members are determined to make it work, rewarding their hardwork and determination. It seems there is strong enthusiasm to develop whatever useful project that can work on the network.

By the way, the price of Hive seems to be performing really better than steem lately. I noticed they were almost thesame last year, and the members have to be informed why the price wasn't doing so well,  that, plus other factors helped the price to eventually shoot up, almost doubling the price of steem at some point.

Hive is a place to be if you love to trade between USD backed coin and other crypto like Hive, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc, free of charge (for Hive/USD swap), at really fast transaction (about 3secs) while controlling your keys and coins.

interesting discussion. i've been using a move-to-earn fitness app for a few months now, and the community aspect is a huge driver. it feels more sustainable when users are genuinely invested in the platform's health, not just a company's profits. i know one project in this space has grown to over 300k users, which shows there's real demand for models that reward participation. the principles here definitely apply—when the community benefits, engagement and network strength seem to follow.
