Even though Hive and Lightning are similar in terms of payments, Bitcoin still has its secure Layer 1 on which everything is based. No state in the world can muster the energy to attack this layer. To me, all coins that work with PoS are shitcoins. Hive is for me one of the few exceptions besides Bitcoin, but I already see the danger that something similar will happen here as with STEEM.
