Hello,
My dear Hivers, please don't laugh at my post title because this is not a joke at all. I'm writing this post for giving answers to one of my #facebook friends also for you all too. Some days ago one of my Facebook friends asked me a question in where I will create my account, in #HIVE or #STEEM. I believe that each and every HIVE user knows the answer to this question. A very simple question for us, who are working with HIVE from the beginning. But this is not a very simple question for a person who has no account in HIVE or STEEM Blockchain. About more than one month ago we never faced such kind of question from those people who are interested to create an account in a Blockchain-based social media platform.
The HIVE is a very new platform, the age of HIVE Blockchain is not more than two months, on the other hand, STEEM already has a great reputation as the first Blockchain-based Social Media Platform and the age of STEEM Blockchain more than four years. In those time STEEM was able to achieve great SEO ranking in Google and STEEM has a lot of and Powerful SEO tools. When a new user searching for "How to I can earn by creating content" or "how to I can earn by blogging", They will get #STEEM first if they search for a similar website then they will get #HIVE. Then this is very common where I will create my account in STEEM or HIVE. I hope my post title will help those people who are interested to create an account in Blockchain-Based Social Media Platform.
STEEM OR HIVE:
STEEM or HIVE this confusion can remove giving the answer to the question What is the difference between STEEM and HIVE. In the view of technology, STEEM & HIVE will present similarity for interested people. Both platforms are built on Blockchain Technology. In both platforms interested people can create their new accounts, they can create their own blogs and they can post from their blogs and they will get the reward for their content by the same mechanism upvote. Both two platform they can be a part of each and every community and they can post their content from their subscribed community blog. Both platforms have the same configured wallet system. Both platforms have two coins for STEEM, STEEM & SBD, and For HIVE, HIVE & HBD. In both platforms, upvote value depends on staking token Power. SP for STEEM and HP for HIVE. Both have witness voting facilities and both have lots of Dapps.
Now the question is there why anyone chooses STEEM or HIVE or Both. Let me clear the confusion. Technically STEEM & HIVE is the same type platform but there has a lot of differences between HIVE and STEEM. Your time is really valuable for you and your time always generate value for you. Invest your time in there from where you can get a proper output in present and in future. HIVE may be a clone of STEEM but HIVE is not STEEM at all. STEEM is STEEM and HIVE is HIVE. There has no connection between these two platforms. If you are a movie lover you can download the same movie from various sites, but the download speed of those sides might be different and the picture quality of Movie can be a difference. Similarly, the mechanism of STEEM and HIVE Could be similar but there have a lot of differences between STEEM and HIVE.
The history of the HIVE blockchain is the first and most crucial difference between these two platforms. The power of decentralization is the based formation of HIVE Blockchain. There has no censorship of HIVE blockchain and this quality makes HIVE better than STEEM. Once STEEM has also decentralized than the people of the great community never realized to launch another platform, when 
The Censorship, Blockchain & Community can't stay together, Decentralization, Blockchain & the community is the perfect combination and very stronger than any kind of web 2 types that means a centralized website. In Hive, you will get the ultimate freedom for creating your content. But in STEEM it depends. In HIVE your wallet is safe and secure forever but in STEEM questionable.
The development of STEEM Blockchain Seems to be quite, but the development of the HIVE blockchain is running and it will be running for a very long time because the fund for development is decentralized. It funded by HIVE users. STEEM development has become centralized. For a blockchain-based Social Media platform, the witness is everything and witness are the voice of each and every user. STEEM have some puppet witness but HIVE has a very strong witness list and our asset is very safe to them.
After a great #hostiletakeover HIVE was born, the maximum number of STEEM users migrated to HIVE. They just leave STEEM forever. Most powerful and popular people on STEEM blockchain just leave STEEM forever they dedicatedly working for the development of HIVE Blockchain. Maybe Sometimes they just long in on STEEM because they have a lot of assets on STEEM Blockchain. When they will able to withdraw their all assets form STEEM Blockchain after that they will never log in on STEEM by mistake.
In a word, there has no bright future on STEEM Blockchain. You can create your account on STEEM Blockchain but you will not get as much support as HIVE in STEEM. Investing your time on STEEM is really valueless. Because the HIVE is much better than STEEM and you have a very bright future in HIVE Blockchain.
I hope my message is very clear for you, hope there is no more confusion for choosing HIVE or STEEM. Just forget about the STEEM, STEEM was but HIVE is and Will. So without any hesitation, just onboarding on HIVE Blockchain-based Social Media Platform and Be a proud member of HIVE.
Thanks for reading.
