If somebody adds Hive to their wallet tool, cool. It would be neat if I could open up metamask and send you an HBD xfer, sure!

But I don't think that means all the dapps built for hive or any other chain need to start using each others coins and tokens for everything, thats just chaos. For the recipients mostly.

I already spend a portion of each day, going to dustseller or hive engine and turning layer two tokens back into Hive, I don't really play games or whatever, where some of those tokens have utility, and for the tip bot ones, I get a lot of those, I just kind of go... "why tho, hive worked fine already?" and turn them back into hive and from there HP or HBD or whatever I need or want to do that day.

So sure, build in cool key management tools for all the chains into a swiss army knife, I have KeyChain and MetaMask right next to each other right now in this browser. Be cool if I only needed one for all! Sure! In fact on my auth method preference poll post, I learned about a swiss army knife extension that will do ALL the hive login tools in one interface for users, and they can use whatever, while my site just uses that one thing. WIN, I'll probably use it once I fully ensure it's safe, reliable, will work in my code stack, and won't disappear in six months when they get bored or run out of money or whatever...

But that doesn't have anything at all to do with how my apps works inside itself per se, in terms of being Hive-centric, it just makes it easier for Hive Account holders to use it, Which is the goal.

So I think your point about auth tools is sort of adjacent but not central to this question of should HiveStreams.Live integrate its actual functionalities of streaming and watching, with other chains content distribution or user authentication methods. In fact that dilution is basically counter to the whole fundamental premise of the thing.
