Hive - The Blockchain for Web 3.0

in #hive5 years ago

As most of you can probably relate, it's been a rough couple of weeks.

Not only did we have to fight for our blockchain against a hostile takeover by he, who shall not be named.

Our global economy is also on the brink of collapse, a pandemic is rolling over the world and BTC is crashing like there's no tomorrow.

What a time to be alive, eh?

Well, the darkest nights produce the brighest stars.

And I can honestly say that the past couple of weeks, while being very exhausting, brought out massive positive changes.

Working on solutions

Over the last month, ever since the acquisition of Steemit Inc, I've been a part of many individuals working on solutions to save our blockchain from a hostile takeover.

The Steemit Inc ninjamine has always been a major risk inside this ecosystem, but over the last couple of weeks, it became obvious that this risk to our decentralised governance was unbearable, and that the only real solution would be to find away to move forward without this baggage.

Working out a solution was far from easy. It was quite difficult and there were many many hours spent discussing about names, brands, goals, ideals and everything else relevant to a solution.

In the end, the consensus was formed around a fork with the name: Hive

Hive - The Blockchain for Web 3.0

In the next couple of days, I'm going to publish another post going deeper into my thought process around Hive and what this means to Steem, etc.

But for now, I just wanted to get out a quick statement, since I've been deeply involved with Hive. And I'm excited that the news is finally out and to see that so many members of this community, that grew quite dear to my heart over the last couple of years, are in support of Hive. (not nec. against Steem, but simply in support of Hive).

Hive.io

The biggest reason why I'm so excited about Hive, is the fact that this community has so many great developers & contributors, and we're now able to create a home for all of us, without a ninjamine.

And while I'm not a blockchain developer, I learned a lot while developing various project on/for Steem. Hence, it was only obvious for me that I wanted to develop the new website:

Once Hive is actually running in the near future, there will be a lot more on the website to see, but for now, it's minimalistic and simple!

With this said:

Much love to all of you!

Steem will always live on, regardless of the branding.

Take care of yourself & Hive/Steem on!

I’m all in because of the community and the the developers. But.....I love the branding too!

Super excited about the move and my bags have been packed and ready to go for weeks!

I love the branding very much too!

Hive is Web 5.0 ;)

I was very excited to see the announcement. I knew you all were working on something behind the scenes when things went quiet! Can't wait to move forward and see what's possible without a massive ninjamined stake holding us back.

Good choice of name/branding ~ HIVE, it gives me the impression that a "hardworking" are beeezy working and building for a better future.

My support goes to the Hive Blockchain! cheers!

Ohhhhh my. This are VERY BIG NEWS. Can wait to see the steem community migrate and start sharing the content there :) do we get to know which dapps are also migrating or you guys still not revealing that?

Like Appics you mean?

Plot twist: Ned knew this was going to happen and that we would be able to fulfill his vision only on a fork of steem...

I wonder what he is thinking right now?

He is probably secretly proud of us :D HIVE5

All this is all part of the adventure. We'll have to come up with some new terminology. The balance of power will shift with the other whales having more influence than before. Some of the bigger accounts are malicious, but taking their stake away may be considered unacceptable.

Anyway, I shall do what I can to help Hive become what Steem could have been.

Unavoidably, we will bring some baggage along, but I'm glad there is an attempt to limit the transference of hostile stake over to Hive. Either way, it's preferable to the alternative in my view.

Awesome @therealwolf, looking forward to Hive and seeing the promise of decentralization fulfilled. I'm certain the larger part of the Steem community is with you, especially the more consistent ones that make the daily effort to make this be a real community. Thanks for your hard work and looking forward to updates!
