Crypto is the future of money.
Hive is one of the best cryptos.
Until the exchange and anonymous hive accounts come out as ned and dan there is a cloud hanging over it, granted.
But, still one of the best cryptos out there.
There are only 400million hive, those anonymous accounts can't sell them more than once without buying them back at market prices.
I think this will all shake out just fine for the people that persist.
Presuming the world doesn't crash, and go mad max, at which point working gardens will be worth more than money.
Somehow I doubt the rich people will allow the profits to go poof.
They also get the pitchforks and torches in a mad max scenario, so I'm discounting that as an option.

Presuming that we won't go full Looking Backwards and will go And Then There Were None, at least partially, I figure the hive will persist into the foreseeable future.

No doubt brigands set the code in motion, but it is we that will carry it forward.
No reason we can't make it live up to its potential.
Just a matter of persistence.
