Your BTC analogy is illogical because the ACTUAL MONEY is in BTC so you forking it just means you took a copy of the code.

Thanks for proving my point. Steem is an irrelevant fork of the code which is exactly what I was getting at. You're doing all the work for me at this stage.

Point was you're simply saying this thing Hive is legendary when nearly 5 years have shown the basic system here is definitely not. If this is so great as is then the price now would be getting scooped up in large amounts.

If the token price had been trading flat between 10-20 cents for the last five years then you might be right, but once again you allow the current situation to massively cloud your judgement.

When Hive goes x100 over the next year I'm going to circle back and see what you are saying then. Then when it crashes into the mountain again you'll be right back at it. Flip flop flip flop flip flop. Pick a lane and drive.

You're riding the emotional roller coaster of token price just like 90% of the other people on this network. The worst part is the absolute denial of reality. We would not be having this conversation if Hive was trading at $1 right now. There are multiple reasons why we are trading at this level, and none of those reasons have anything to do with fundamental values or developments.

This network might be 5 years old, but the Hive token is less than a year old, and every token was airdropped on to people who held Steem. Perhaps you need a lesson in the tokenomics of airdrops to figure out why the price is struggling right now. Wait and see what happens when Bitcoin goes into mega-bubble mode and money is overflowing everywhere and everyone is researching projects to invest in and on-chain fees skyrocket to $100+. You'll see soon enough. "This network sucks because speculators aren't FOMOing" is not a valid argument at this time. Try again next year.
