I have to tell you I can imagine how you must feel. You more than anyone else I've seen have put your heart and soul into Steem. I'm sorry this all went down the way it did. It did hurt a little to convert my Steem to Hive but I am ready to move on. I know that's easier for me to say that it is for you as I have been disengaged from Steem for so long.
If you plan to eventually convert all your Steem to Hive I might suggest doing the conversion weekly as you get your powerdowns paid out. That way you may reduce the risk by dollar cost averaging through it. I think Hive has a much better chance of going up than Steem.
If you are considering alternative investments I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are good.
