Was Steem Ever Really Decentralized? Does HIVE Have a Future?

Do you really believe that Steem was ever a genuinely decentralized system? Has Steem ever been a truly democratic system? When less than 1% of Steemians controlling the vast majority of the wealth and votes, can you really believe that it was or is decentralized? You do realize that ALL of the problems of the Steem ecosystem will now become the problems of the HIVE community... PLUS SOME!!!

I have never seen Steem as a decentralized system. I have always enjoyed being on Steem, and I have always found the contradictions very comical! The Steem system very much mirrors the capitalistic model that it was supposed to challenge. It is quite funny!

The best example of this is exactly the very fact that the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of less than 1% of the accounts. And even if there are Dolphins and Orcas who have a great deal of collective wealth, they did not do much to change what was really wrong with the system. It's a ladder - Minnows want to become Dolphins, Dolphins want to become Orcas and Orcas want to become Whales. This is the microcosm of the capitalistic macrocosm.

What you all don't realize is that HIVE is a more concentrated form of a centralized Steem, with a few loud voices wanting to dictate the future of the blockchain and the social network. If Steem has already lost hundreds of thousands of users with this group in power, HIVE won't even make it to 100,000 users!

If you do realize that ALL of the problems of the Steem ecosystem will now become the problems of the HIVE community... PLUS SOME!!!... you should also realize that HIVE is a disaster waiting to happen, while Steem, now hitting its bottom, has no place to go but up!!!
