Maximalists seem to have their heads in the sand when it comes to other use cases besides money, as well as the feasibility of implementing those use cases in the Bitcoin code. Just not gonna happen for most crypto use cases.
Decentralized social media has huge potential value. Bitcoin developers are highly unlikely to try to implement social media on the BTC blockchain, at least for the foreseeable future. Which means if you want immutable social media content it has to be on a separate blockchain. Which is what we have here.
All we need now is an easy way to convert Hive to BTC from frontends, and it becomes a layer 2 solution. Could something like OpenSeed make this possible?
