RE: Goodbye Steem... Hello Hive.

in #hive4 years ago

Hey! Good to see ya! Hope you come explore http://hive.blog/

Hooboy...! Trying for the extremely short summary. Steemit Inc. was purchased by Justin Sun, the owner of Tron. Things quickly grew contentious between him and the large majority of the Steem community. All the developers at Steemit Inc. quit. Justin used the Steemit inc stake to vote in witnesses he’d just created to run the Steem blockchain.

A fork occurred yesterday wherein the blockchain split. Hive is the new offshoot, developed and run by many of the original witnesses and developers. The Steem blockchain is now entirely controlled by Justin Sun and not a distributed network of witnesses. Steem users who did not vote for Sun’s takeover all received an airdrop of their new Hive coin. Your account info over there is all the same, you can login with your Steem credentials. Moving forward, anything posted to Hive does not show on Steem and likewise the other direction.

Whew! Hope that made even the least bit of sense.
