i wrote about this some time ago. google is not happy with hive blockchain, other search engines do much better. why, we can speculate and go to conspiracy theories.

i know almost nothing on ranking things on search engines and web development, but we could look at this from other side. if we had some specific name that means that people would find it only if the search for that specific name. now if we manage to move to the first page on just Hive we would get more random people on.
i know that only crypto people use presearch but if you search hive there first thing is info about hive (coingecko info).

on powerdown, i kinda could not care if it went one way or another as i think it would not do much difference. 35-40% of hive is staked and i don't think those that don't stake it now would do it if there was 4 weeks powerdown. maybe i am wrong...
