Yet another proof of @theycallmedan's leadership, even on hive. Also on this "new" platform it has proved capable of positively channeling the feelings of us, individual members of the steemit/hive community.
And here comes the point: Hive.
What a surprise.
In the literal sense.
What a surprise.
I have to admit that although I was very active on steemit, I didn't realize what was happening around me.
I found out about the "duplication" of the blockchain and the birth of last minute hive. And when I say last minute, I mean LAST MINUTE!
Pretty much done!
Where I'm from, it's like, "[Bleep] over."
And so I had to go deeper quickly and I admit it, I started to disturb the members of the Italian community "Olio di Balena" led by @fedesox and especially to contact my irreducible traveling companion @ilnegro.
I asked him a thousand questions.
A thousand guys!

What is hive?
What does it know?
What did I miss?
Where does it go?
Does Steempeak still exist?
What about the many tokens accumulated on steem-engine?
Steemworld is still active?
If I wanted to buy hives, where would I do it?
If I want to sell them, how can I do that?
Will cross-posting still be allowed?
Will all steemit users migrate to hive?
What will be the differences with steemit?
Will the price of steem fall?
What will the hive price correspond to?

So I bombarded the poor @ilnegro with rookie questions.
He will forgive me.
I also thank other Italian members who have been able to answer my questions from time to time.

What about hive?

I wrote that for me it represents a leap into the void.
It is for all the reasons I listed before, the questions I listed before.
It is for me in the micro.
It is for all of us in the macro.

It's a challenge.
It's a struggle.
It's a clash of titans, if you want to be epic.

As distracted as I've been, I've understood and followed what happened in our ecosystem.

Justin Sun has shaken our plans.
He arrived, an unexpected guest, in our community and tried to divide us, to explode us, to decimate us.

Justin Sun is our virtual covid-19.

He is an unexpected and for many invisible guest who has done incalculable damage, virtual victims but has also had a great effect, a positive effect.

If it is true that covid-19 is the world's biggest catastrophe since the war, it is also true that it has uncovered the pandora pot.
The covid-19 has allowed us to look inside and look around us.
Many have realized that they live in a complex world without a soul, without vision, without direction.
Many, in their own small way, have realized that they live in this world with the wrong priorities.
We have seen that it is possible to survive without always being in line at the supermarket, the shoe store, the apple store.
We have seen our skies turn blue without pollution and traffic.
We have seen that smart working is feasible.
We have understood that friends and affections, loves and passions are important.

Justin Sun from this point of view represents our calamity that could make us appreciate what we had.
Not only that.
He could allow us to make it better.
Think of how many people have moved to counteract its rise.
How many witnesses awoke from slumber.
How many little people have improved their knowledge of the platform?
How many people have started to write more, read more, learn more.
Even the "old" ones like me had to learn new things.
Some withdrew from the battle and preferred other places, other platforms, other forms of community.
Others have sharpened their swords.
Others set their brains in motion and reasoned on new methods.
From this furor, from this renewed attachment to our community was born hive.
And so Hive is our new horizon.
It is our smart working, our sky no longer polluted, our place to find love and passion.
But beware.
The Hive could also be our undoing.
We'll have to be good not to repeat the old mistakes made on Steemit.
We will have to be good not to make the mistakes of arrogance and arrogance made by Justin Sun.
If we can do that, we will have really brought the sun back into our community.
A sun born from a jump, in darkness, in the void.
