I've been a believer in the Steem project for the best part of the last two years,<br> but in one fell swoop,<br> everything changed. There's no going back now,<br> and the dream of being freed from the shackles of Steemit's death grip on the blockchain has been realised.\n\n### Moving to the Hive\n\n\nAs much as I indulge in conversations about governance,<br> I'm predominantly a blogger,<br> and my priority is to create content and grow my audience. Because a large population of the Steem blockchain have indicated they will be moving their content to Hive blockchain and the fact that my favourite front ends(@steempeak and @esteem) are also moving,<br> it is a pretty easy decision for me to make.\n\n### What about Steem?\n\nI really can't say,<br> but I know for sure that I will not be using Steemit for any purpose. This could effectively be my last post on Steem blockchain,<br> and it is with a heavy heart because I hoped things would turn out differently. \n\n### Learning from the past\nAt the end of the day,<br> those ninja-mined stakes turned out to be the bone of contention. Steemit didn't keep their word and then went and sold a potential to make it or break it device to an individual(@justinsunsteemit) who wasn't aware of the history or baggage it came with.\n\nHive blockchain has come at a time when Steem is clearly on the ropes due to the influence of a super-rich guy that clearly has no intention to reason with the community. He doesn't understand the values of Steem community,<br> and is finding out the hard way that simply throwing money around can only take you so far. \n\n\n### Moving on\n\nI'm not going as far as saying that Steem will be a ghost town,<br> but I think it will be reasonably quiet. I'll have nothing against anyone who decides to stay back and continue posting content here,<br> but I'll generally stay away from Steemit. Perhaps,<br> I will make exceptions for my friends and any exciting author that may stay back,<br> though I doubt most will. Particularly when you consider how things are going to be when all the cool dapps and devs leave.\n\n\nSo without sounding overly dramatic(more than I already am),<br> Bye-bye suckers,<br> and see you on the flip side.\n\n<div class=\"pull-left\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/steempeak.com\/trending\/hive-105727\">\n<img src=\"!
