RE: Steem to fork and create a new coin named HIVE?
This indeed is very good news. Exciting times.
There are a couple negatives yet I feel the positives far outweigh them.
The community will split a bit and the loss of exchanges is tough but the faster development time will help us to overcome these negatives.
Plus, we have the eyes of the crypto world which means we can leverage the abilities of the community for gain.

That last part is probably the most important. As long as they do this fork now, they have a chance to really take advantage of the situation. Exchanges will likely side with the new coin due to all drama surrounding it right now. Without that drama it would be tough to pull this off, though without the drama it likely wouldn't be needed, so there is that. :)
This is crypto and strange things happen here I don’t think a fork is the end so we move over we keep doing what we doing we grow with the passion and drive this community has and we’re now free to say it’s our chain! Who knows Justin May just give up and we can pick up the branding again if we want to but I doubt that matters at this point the chain was only a database
All the dapps, tribes and superior front ends are the ecosystem that drives this place! He made his choice to alienate his user base now he can take his new shit coin and port it to Tron and see how well it does.
All is fair in competition! I’m not too tied to the branding, I’m here for everyday for the people! I just want us to put this all behind us and put our energies towards something positive and I think this is the best move
You think he will port it to Tron? Some think he just wants to dump his stake and be done, and others think he will move everything he can over to tron and try to create value there, what do you think?
I think he will still want to port it to tron, even if just a few people stick around to collect rewards he can still say his got new users/accounts and daily active users. I'm sure there are enough reward hungry people willing to use his site and it will make his numbers look pretty
So he will port everything he can over to Tron after steem gets forked by blocktrades and the witnesses? Will he then create any value for those he ported over?
I think if he wants to be competitive and achieve his goals he will prefer tron so he can throw all his resources behind it. Working on steem tech seems like a waste of time with steemit inc having no employees.
I'm pretty sure he will try to create value the same way he kind of failed with BTT, but lets see, its going to be interesting. I'm kinda keen to see how Hive affects his next move
It seems each side will soon be free to do things how the want, the community side and then the Justin Sun side. I guess it all comes down to which side will be able to really create value. If that is actually Sun's goal. Some seem to think he just wants to dump at this point.
