As someone who wasn't here at the birth of Steem -- and many of us weren't --, but often looking at the history of Steem, with its flaws and achievements, I'm excited to be around at the birth of the new Hive blockchain! Hive doesn't start from scratch, which is the best decision for most, but hopefully will be able to find and keep the much needed spark that often seemed to elude Steem, in the eyes of the larger crypto verse.
