Speculation can bring anything back from the dead (in theory). Forecasting based on trends, honest assessment of teams, and state of technologies linked to these emerging systems is usually more accurate.

I'm not saying you're wrong.
Because the world is in a state never experienced before really, so if more chaos is had in the established systems, then there could very well be a shift.

But then this is why I think:
Hive should be so much ahead than the fragmented state it's in. Because should flood gates open up.. the confusion of wth this is meant to be... might see that curve go up and then down down down.

Which did happen when steemit boomed.
Many mainstream identities did come.
Then faded because it just wasn't complete.
No chat still as a basic feature.
Discord the place for that... WHY??
This just baffles me how a platform claimed as "hive is a social aspect" by @theycallmedan yet no damn chat as part of the system.

The operation here relies heavily on spin doctors.
