Hive right now is positioned as one of the prime blockchain protocols fostering true decentralization and relevant, community focused tech.
You could say that at this time there are also a number of other projects that are either "connected" to Hive via ex-community members like Koinos, have some connection through a common original pre-fork founder like Bitshares or examples like Telos... you can even go as far as WAX or EOS.... that also try to foster similar principles.
If they achieve it or not as well as we do on Hive or how successful (or not) they are is besides the point.
In crypto, collabs aren't an uncommon thing. Just look at Chainlink, Cosmos, Cardano...
From interoperability, crosschain communication, to oracle services, cross chain transfers, pure marketing collaborations, bridges, etc.
Is there any value at all in fostering collaboration or is crypto, even in the case where relative ideological closeness can be observed, still purely a tribal affair where we are "clawing" for every single investor, every drop of liquidity, and therefor collaboration being entirely pointless and ultimately self defeating?
Just something to ponder really.. Im not proposing anything nor do I think it would realistically work. I know in which direction im personally leaning.
The image above is something that some might recall that watched one film from 2008.
Any marketing guys reading this might understand why I'm referring to it.
