We are now a week into Hive and lots has been happening. Dapps have migrated, but not all of them will as some developers were excluded from the airdrop for supporting Steemit. I see some people are posting to both blockchains, but I will probably not do that as I do not have time to be monitoring both. I am powering down my Steem and just transferred the first batch to Hive using the @blocktradesexchange. The rate is not great at over 2 Steem to 1 Hive, and it may get worse.
In the next weeks a lot of people will be dumping Steem on the market and many will buy Hive, so expect the prices to diverge. For now there is a massive difference in volume between them. Someone needs to tell the price monitoring sites how many Hive coins there are so they can work out the market cap and rank it appropriately. By the time I power down the last of my Steem it may be 10 to 1, but maybe Justin will do me a favour and try to prop up Steem.
Busy bees
Here are some people to check out for #FollowFriday. Most of my friends from Steem have moved over, but a few are dithering. They will have some Hive waiting for them anyway.
@revisesociology is writing some thoughtful posts, as you would expect from a teacher. He does like a bit of @SteemMonsters even though it has not moved the Hive yet. He is in higher leagues than me, but then he invests more in good cards.
I see fellow runner @shazza has posted on Hive. Like many she is stressed out by the corona lockdown. We can still be social online and support each other.
@detlev has moved the Beer Saturday challenge over to Hive. I have not had so many beers lately as I am not getting to the pub. May have to buy some to drink at home.
@demotruk started an electric vehicles community. I have not been keeping up with developments, but I still hope to get my first EV this year, depending on circumstances.
I have been chatting to @papilloncharity for years and he has kept active all that time as well as running a charity in South Africa helping the needy. He has a great eye for nature photography.
@atheistrepublic do not shy away from reporting on controversial topics, but they aim to expose the hypocrisy of some religious people in their videos. Some of these stories are crazy and often tragic.
@stateofthedapps have charts to show activity on various blockchains. Some Hive dapps are already ranking highly, but a fair few are missing. Let them know about those.
The doghouse
As we expected some of those who exploited Steem for pure profit moved over the Hive and some of the vote sellers are operating here already. One user of those is @apon6431 who has been buying hefty votes for his own comments to try and sneak under the radar. He does not hold much Hive Power, but still does not give many votes to others. Most of his pending rewards have been wiped out, but we need to be vigilant. Others will do the same and steal rewards from those who actually have community support.
Final words
As on Steem it is up to the community to make Hive great. We are small, but we could be mighty. We need to build up the community and bring in more creative people who can make it an attractive place to be whilst avoiding some of the issues that held Steem back.
