All of the issues you talk about with EOS, Hive does not have

We don't have vote-selling either, exchanges don't vote because of the long lock-up, and large stakeholders don't vote in witnesses that offer kickbacks; we vote in the best. We vote the best because our tokens are locked for so long; a measly little kickback is nothing compared to the millions of tokens I have locked for so long.

Also, we are not here for the money. Justin Sun's marketing campaign was akin to that of Xerxes, "we give you exchanges, liquidity, and pumped prices!" Our community had just suffered a 3-year bear market; Ned was nowhere to be seen, the token price in the dumps and some billionaire comes and says, hey guys, let's go to the moon! We did not bend the knee; we are here because we want censorship-resistance away from the state. I'm not sure there is a tougher, more decentralized network out there than Hive. If you try to take us over, we fork you, dump the former token and power upon the other chain.

And we have had people bark up Hives tree about regulators, but who are you going to mail on Hive? No one owns it. The largest hodler here is 100% anon and has like 3% of the stake. We have a robust middle class. There isn't any person that has the power to do anything on this chain, esp if it was hostile. Hive reacts very much to hostile takeovers; we come out of the woodworks.

So I like what we have here, you can improve the technology, but you can't just flip a switch and improve the community. A community must be earned, and Hive has many battle stripes.
