I don't disagree with you, Gene. As things are, HIVE faces a lot of pain. I'm hoping for the best, preparing for the worst, and just watching.

That said, despite the negatives here, Hive is still light years better than most of the other altcoin trash. Now will we ever manage to get that message out? Many new voices are working hard at that. But many established people are working to prevent that. And we still have the problem of the DHF bleeding money. We are making slow progress, but it might be too slow to counteract the years of abuse. Time will tell!
