Hi @schamangerbert,

where do you have the ranking numbers from?

In regards to steem vs. hive:
There are many things uncertain, but what I already discovered:
1.) Rewards on hive are on average 50% higher than on steem. This should be attributable by half to steemitinc's stake now accessing the reward pool and by another half due to other factors I could not determine yet.
2.) The collusion between Justin Sun and the exchanges is concerning to the highest degree
3.) Freezing the assets of the old witnesses is even more concerning

So why should I invest into tokens or a platform where I never can be sure that somebody does not take all my tokens - so @ steem for me it is definitely game over.

If hive will succeed, we will see.. but because of the non existent corporate governance at steem.inc and steem itself (witnesses) I do not see how this could play out well.
