Everything is going down, oil looks like a literal shitcoin, yet bitcoin is stable and hive had a 4x pump in a matter of hours! Crazy times we live in, right?
Anyways, this is not the point of this post.
It's been a few days now since I have been following how HIVE is doing on Alexa. In case you don't know, Alexa is one of the best online tools to check how popular a website is. It has its problems and it's not 100 % accurate and can even be manipulated to an extent.
Generally though it will give you a good idea of how a website is doing. Not perfect, but good. The lower the ranking a website has, the better. For example google has a ranking of 1 #

As for Hive, it has been on the rise since day 1, jumping a couple of thousands positions everyday. Yesterday, it passed the 100.000 mark and today it's sitting comfy at around #94.000:

For comparison, here's Steemit, which has been in a continuous downfall for more than two years now:

And if you take a better look in the screenshots above, you will notice that Hive has already a much better ranking in the US market, which at least from a financial perspective is probably the most important one! Also, HIVE ranks much better in other rankings, like time spent on site:
Imo, it won't be long before Hive surpasses Steemit. The reasons are many. Essentially steem has no devs at the moment. Most dapps have already migrated or are about to migrate. Even steemhunt, which is a steem-exclusive app has been dumping like crazy and it won't be long before it's pool of leechers will stop using it because it just won't be worth it. Many steemians are simply shitposting memes (like me) or copy pasting old posts to milk whatever is left of the dieing cow while keeping their "good" content for HIVE. Cool initiatives like posh which bring plenty of new traffic are now HIVE exclusive too. Not to mention that everybody is on a full power down, lol.
And most importantly, all the positive energy is here. Same for the potential for growth, from "simple stuff", like new exchanges (like the recent addition to HUOBI) to blockchain apps and games to whatever.
If we hit 40 cents by being just a top 100.000 site during a totally uncertain corona infested market, someone can only imagine what Hive could reach in a bullish market!
Honestly, it turns out that Justin was a true blessing. I literally love the guy. I would even fuck him and I am not gay.
We have been released by the burdens of the premine and the incompetence of Ned & friends. And in return we got something better and also some free steem shitcoins to sell and buy whatever. Yeah, ned's hair will be missed but I think I can live with that!
What more could you ask?
