It is extremely hard to create a "sustainable blogging platform" that does something similar to HIVE... There were hundreds of attempts before the "crypto era", and we saw some during it, too... Having no competition in the field proves this assumption...
IMO, HIVE would have similar problems if we wouldn't have additional dApps built on it like games or tribes... Yes, development in that field is going slowly, but at least we are going forward... I'm happy to see that there are other developers coming in and creating apps for HIVE! The Splinterlands team is awesome, but we need more teams like theirs...

I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
