Defluenced Ep004 - Platform Review:Hive

Today we do our first platform review and it is what we consider to be the best Cryptosocial platform currently available.

Description from Hive.io:

Hive is an innovative and forward-looking decentralized blockchain and ecosystem, designed to scale with widespread adoption of the currency and platforms in mind. By combining the lightning-fast processing times and fee-less transactions, Hive is positioned to become one of the leading Web3 blockchains used by people around the world.

What I like about Hive

Allen:

Decentralization of access. Different interfaces for publishing. Hive.blog, ecency, Leo Finance
More than 100 dapps. There are games, social applications, NFTs, decentralized finance, block explorers and other tools, sports and video apps.
Hive also has a robust Hive Engine where users can create their own tokens and exchange tokens. These add a lot of value and utility to Hive.
I also like that you can stake your Hive and save your HBD. 20% APR on HBD savings.
Users also vote on witnesses and proposals. Through the Hive fund, proposals that get winning votes can be funded and executed.

Unkle Bonehead:

Also the decentralization. Most if not all dapps are using IPFS for image and video hosting.
Also the plethora of dapps of all kinds
Immutability. You can self host one of several frontends or develop your own.
You can purchase NFT’s and services with Hive. Including web hosting through Privex.
The people. Hive is social media and the vast majority of people using it are real people who engage with others. Not a bunch of bots just trying to make quick money.
