I (like most) started out in bitcoin. Then I got some dev work at bitshares, then steem, then hive. All 3 of those seemingly turned into oligarchies.
I built some wicked fast apps on those chains, 3 second blocks are great for point of sale and wallets, they have a true dex at bitshares, and smart contracts at hive now. I freakin hate the way the whales siphon off the funds though so that none of the users can earn a living there anymore, except for like 4 or 5 whales who vote themselves into the funds pool. Those same guys run both bitshares AND hive now! wtf
Then I discovered Zaps. :)
Now I have to say, I came back to BTC with some trepidation as I do have some lingering bias obtained from working in those dpos communities since 2014. Super fast chains like that are ideal for point of sale, "Liking" a video, etc. Zaps are a whole other ballpark though and cannot be taken away from the user through downvoting and all that crap that plagues those dpos chains. Once you get zapped, it's irreversible which is freakin awesome.
Nostr is the foss-protocol "glue" that holds all of this together I have to say, and if the LN is becoming more DE-centralised instead of eventually being run by some whale assholes, then ya know, I'm all in. Like really all-in. I feel like I've come full circle.
