Thought provoking piece to be sure.

But I can't say I agree with everything. For example:

This means that it is possible for a blockchain such as Ethereum to have over a billion users. This is not what we will see on Hive.

How terribly pessimistic of you! Why doesn't HIVE have that possibility? For starters, it's got THOUSANDS more times the scalability of ETH! Are you the same person who showed me this years ago: https://blocktivity.info/

I could go on and on about the differences starting with the devs, moving on to the community, and finishing with honesty and integrity.

ETH will be dead in 5 years time.

P.S. EOS, on the other hand is a different story and, along with HIVE, will be around forever.
