I agree with most of what you said. It is still the same people, it is still the same technology and it is still the same mindset. However, I still expect different result. Well some can say that's insanity, others can say it is hope.

When I started on steem, I have no idea at one point in time I will be within top 50 of steem stake holder. Before the JS episode started, I never did a single power down. I was the last person to start the power down in steem within the people I know.

In hive, I plan to do the same. I plan to never power down. Why? Because I am willing to wait 5 years for my bamboo shoot.

I used to not come out and talk much. Now I do. I have been told lately that I perhaps talk too much and quite clueless on recent developments. I will let others decide on that. But what I have learned lately, that if you don't talk, someone else will. That someone else may or may not be as qualified as you. Stage is usually not left empty. So you better make your thinking visible, otherwise other will grab that opportunity and turn the boat whichever way they want.
