I have nothing against forks. They ultimately create competition for the lead of a project, which will push both sides to work harder.

BCH brought a needed improvement to the procol. Their mempool is looking better than BTC. We now know that if BTC doesn't use the improvement, it's because some BTC maximalists want to keep the fees high. It also brought out a truth.

What did HIVE do? It's just a rebranding and a coin-wipe... The tech is exactly the same, I don't see any new users (only the same old ones coming back to syphon $100/month). Blue became red, STEEM became HIVE, SBD became HBD.

Would anyone have used BCH if it was a perfect copy of Bitcoin just with a different name and a nice domain (bitcoin.com)? No.

So why is it working with Hive? Because people in this community have an average IQ of 80 and can get very easily manipulated through the proof-of-brain rewards mechanism. Under normal circumstances, everyone would be saying what I'm saying: that forks shouldn't be touching private property assets, and everyone would be ignoring Hive.

Now tell me, without any racist or political reason, why it was necessary to fork?
