There is a philosophical split that cleaves the blockchain world in very unequal parts.
On the 99% side, it's a fiercely individualistic view of the world where you find all the blockchains that charge tx fees- pay per use, like toll roads.
On the 1% side you have Steem, Hive, Nano, IOTA where the infrastructure costs are mutualized and paid for from a community budget, and there are no tx fees for use, like most roads.
Imagine what moving around would be like if 99% of roads were toll roads.
