My thinking is slightly different from what I have read.
My opinion is that Hive must survive this strange period. The big blockchains don't like it, nor do the central banks that control fiat, because things are different in Hive and they can't (hopefully) block anyone or accuse anyone of anything. And Hive has to transform a little bit in this process of survival.
And if Hive becomes strong (which I expect it will be with this VSC Network project because you can transact between currencies without fees), then they might be able to jump into the cabbage of some or all of the big players.
