I read the posts from @dalz and ETH scaling looks like it'll take some time. I think 'too big to fail' part comes mainly from Dapps. No other platforms has so many great Dapps and developers working on them.

What happened should be considered as 'another bump in the road'.

Yes. But history of how people have acted should be kept in mind. It doesn't hurt to be skeptical in this space. With enough Dapps and active community I can't see how Hive will fail. It's more about how far Hive can move forward and get marketshare :)
