Thanks for writing this post and some of the points you said are valid and true.

I have been with this community for almost 4 years and took a year break and then again 3 months break again recently. And I can certainly relate to some of the points you raised in your post.

I truly believe that there is immense value in fresh new ideas to take hive to the next level. At the same time, I can understand why people can be defensive. Because our community was so unlucky in many ways (Dan Larimer exit and Ned selling his stake to Justin that lead to the hard fork) and many of them put their heart and soul to build the ecosystem with little reward.

We got to see obstacles as the way to move forward with our personal life and also with Hive.

I truly hope Hive could get somebody from the ETH community or Cardano community to comment, frankly getting these leaders might be hard, but there are enough less well-known people in those communities who are happy to give their take on this chain.

This is something in our control and we can try our very best to make something happen that empowers decentralization and crypto adoptoion.
