I totally agree... Hive Blockchain is pure dope, and i love it because i can write down my Splinterlands journey... i actually got my Hive account after i purchase the Summoner's SpellBook!
I am using Brave as well and the rest, well... in my case it's all about gaming...
Strange to see all this happening when today was well the El Salvador major switch to BTC...like you mention i think there are way to many coincidences to think that this is just casual!
Thanks a lot for the feedback... really appreciated.
