Ecosystem takes time to build. If Hive do not have Steemit, will it have the network effect that the community enjoy today?
There is also a big difference in culture and concept between Torum and "Uptrennd, Hive & other crypto social platforms you ever heard of". While Uptrennd and Hive accepts all kind of genres and community, Torum is designed specially for cryptocurrency users. We pride ourselves as the first crypto-focused social media platform in the industry.
I do agree that XTM is a shitcoin now, because there is little utility in it. However, gamification and utility are what going to drive Torum and XTM in the next few months. We are always open to work with any crypto projects to see how we can collaborate together. For example, can our upcoming Mining Simulator accepts $HIVE as one of the payment coins to participate?
I don't agree with Hive's approach of generating more coins every minute. Look at where the utility goes for the past few months since it is launched. Call Torum, Uptrennd or any other social media project shitcoins if you like. But until Hive can climb its way up top, you got zero credibility of calling others shitcoins.
