I think you are exaggerating with your cult talk.

Each crypto has this tribalism so to speak.

I don't know where hive is going or what is the future for it. I have not claimed it to know. Nobody can tell that... it may be gone in a year. The same goes for Bitcoin.
It also might be up x50 in a year.

What I know is that I have been more than 4 years in crypto, and at the beginning, not on hive/steem ... and this place somehow drag me into the rabit hole. That is certain.

This being said, since you seem to have an objective grasp of reality, please enlight us with your knowledge and perspective and explain what is the future of hive, bitcoin and all thing...
