I do wonder if Hive will be around in 30 years, because if it ever vanishes that will be a lot of work lost since I don't really believe in cross-posting. But, I think that's a big reason why it's value will only to continue to rise.

Dang. It's really crazy to try to imagine that long of a timeline when it comes to crypto. It's difficult enough for me to think where we will be in 5 years, let alone decades.

I have a feeling that no project with a meaningful-sized community will "vanish," but all the chains will likely be very easy to instantly swap between. So, if all users migrate to other chains from one token... well, it may be a hard-forked version of what we have now that we're using. Maybe there will be 50 different versions of HIVE that fork off different ways, hah. In that case, we'd still have everything preserved, but "somewhere else."

I'm doing ok, still fighting... I don't have nearly the capacity for blogging the way I used to but I hope to keep it going and documenting things like this.

Keep fighting the good fight, my friend.

On Deep Dream I think my username is Andrew Bouknight, I assume you must use the paid version - is that worth it?

Yeah, I support them on Patreon to be able to process more and higher-quality images. For me it's worth it since I use it frequently for posting on HIVE and also for thumbnail images on YT, etc... and I like to patronize the tech since I see a lot of promise in it.

However, if you just set some of your Dreams to "public" and get enough "upvotes"... your energy capacity will go up a lot even on a free account. People get 500 upvotes per 24 hours so... whatever you post I'll give it a +1 haha!
