Hi guys!!!

I liked STEEM, but I love... HIVE, the STEEM fork. I also started PowerDown on STEEM, to move to HIVE... but that's another story!

I am not here to introduce myself, and to tell you what I do, and what I have done, what I like and what I do not like about STEEM and HIVE.
I'm a mannequin and maybe it's my first serious post since 2017.

I want to go straight to the point.

When HIVE was launched I said to myself, "Well the name is not that bad ...", but I wasn't sure at brand level ... in fact I asked myself: "What if I search “HIVE” in Google?!? How many relevant and irrelevant results will I get?!?”
Which I didn't do that day.

Try to search for "HIVE BLOCKCHAIN" in Google!

Here is the result:

... it's not really what I wanted to see!

As you can see it is not HIVE.io ... but HIVE Blockchain Technologies LTD. since 2017 ... and it's not HIVE-tuna-pasta-technologies, but a company that deals with blockchain!
https://hiveblockchain.com/

It does not end here…
"HIVE BLOCKCHAIN ​​REQUESTS CEASE AND DESIST FROM NEW STEEM COMMUNITY HARD FORK USING SAME NAME"
Here is the link:
https://hiveblockchain.com/news/hive-blockchain-requests-cease-and-desist-from-new-steem-community-hard-fork-using-same-name/

I know... this is an old news (March 2020) and what else can I say?!?!? I understand their point.

I also went back to roelandp@roelandp's post to see if there was any info... but I only found amico@amico 's comment with an interesting link:
https://www.coindesk.com/steem-fork-faces-legal-threat-from-mining-firm-over-hive-name

And I also found this:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/canadian-miner-hive-blockchain-issues-cease-and-desist-to-steem-fork-hive

The choice of the name was not that clever, but I don't want to add anything else.

Actually, I do have an idea: NoNamesLeftToUse-blockchain ;-)
I'm just kidding nonameslefttouse@nonameslefttouse :-)

Let's avoid the comments like... "sue Steemitri, he's just a mannequin!" or "sue the community ..." etc. etc.

Has this been mentioned before? Maybe I missed some posts, I don’t know.
