I apologize, but I couldn't get through your entire post. I get it, you don't like ethereum. But our opinion doesn't matter - if you want to succeed, you have to build a product that developers and users want. The reality is that developers and users use ethereum and bitcoin, nothing comes even close.
While Ethereum 1.x has plenty of limitations, It also has incredible technology built on top of it. Zero-knowledge rollups are, in my opinion, the greatest innovation in crypto since bitcoin invented the blockchain, and far exceeds anything Hive can offer. Not to mention the innovations Ethereum 2.0 brings to the table in the coming years.
My biggest problem with your post, however, is that you completely ignored EOS. Like I keep saying, it's basically an improved Hive. Everything you point out as advantages for Hive are even more amplified on EOS. Yet, no one uses EOS. EOS has realized what I have been saying, and are focusing massively on Ethereum interoperability and EVM compatibility. So are Polkadot, Cardano, Tron, and every other PoS chain. The days of "bitcoin killers" and "ethereum killers" were over in 2017, the only way to survive in 2020 and beyond is to become bitcoin and ethereum enhancers. There's a reason why every top 20 chain is focusing on ethereum interoperability, while absolutely no one wants to use Hive. It doesn't matter if you don't care about price, it's an accurate reflection of investors' confidence in a chain, and currently there is none in Hive.
Look, I'm deliberately being aggressive here because I want to see Hive succeed. For the last 4 years, all my constructive criticism has fallen on deaf ears. There's been negligible progress since 2017. I'm sure how you can see this makes one frustrated? So I'm making a last ditch attempt to make people wake up, accept Hive's glaring flaws, and completely overhaul the platform with a new concept to build something sustainable. I have mentioned some ideas in this OP and over the last several years, so I will not belabour my points.
With that, I'll wish you all the best. I hope you and other witnesses do some self-reflection and swiftly move to overhaul the system. I hope Hive works out.
