I've only briefly used EOS so I'm not in a position to make an informed decision on the platform as a whole. First glance it seemed unnecessarily complex even for a tech-brain type like me but perhaps this could boil down to GUI design on the page I was using to interact with EOS. Not entirely sure.

Hive beats BTC at 2 things. Transaction speed and scalability. Remember having to wait 10 minutes or even up to hours in some cases to move BTC around for whatever reason? Pepperridge farm remembers.

The EOS project looks interesting but the way they seemed to favour playing by the govt rulebook and were asking for KYC for example for their blog platform makes me suspicious somewhat. I get why they'd play ball with the US govt but not sure how many crypto heads are going to willingly start acceptin things like KYC at every turn in order to use something.. Have in the past been completely turned off of otherwise solid platforms due to them trying to force KYC compliance.. Hates it.

Investors confidence is key to high market caps you figure? More of a "price rise due to FOMO" player myself as it seems a large majority of money playing in the crypto ecosystem are short term speculative HODL plans rather than multi year buy and holds.

Totally hear ya man. As a developer I share some of the frustration when I see certain things being done or neglected but in the end unless I'm willing to pull up my bootstraps and go fix issues I see within my power it's simply wasted emotion.

Not sure what needs overhauled besides the DPOS for me personally.. top 20 should be expanded to top 100 with witness vote decay in order to provide a level of dynamic and input required governance of the chain.. Although having a top 100 would make updating 5x more a nightmare than it is now.

Have a good night captain. Thank you for speaking your mind and playing devils advocate.
