I understand your concern, but it's a bit more nuanced than just "not believing".
Hive isn't just a technology. It's also a community, a cryptocurrency, and an ecosystem. All of that combined is what makes Hive what it is.
Like I mentioned to @meno - technologies can always be changed, replaced or added under the same cryptocurrency.
Take EOS as an example. They recently rebranded to Vaulta and did a 1:1 token swap from $EOS to $A. New name, new token symbol, but the same stakeholders and community. One of their main value props now is Vaulta EVM. They have zero connection to Ethereum (ETH), the cryptocurrency, but they adopted the standard. Same cryptocurrency, multiple technologies underneath.
I still believe in Hive. Pretty sure I said that twice in the video too :D. It's simply: as a developer, it’d be great to have Hive Native and Hive EVM side by side.
