I was trying to keep up with what is happening in the Hive blockchain when I came across @theycallmedan post. The post was an initiative post which is asking us to talk on what we really understand about the Hive blockchain. Seeing such post from him really triggers my mind. I am pleased given the privilege to talk about the Hive Blockchain.

For some time now, we all have seen the issue surrounding the #steem blockchain which later led to the #fork. Incase you dont know what really happened, permit me to explain what led to the creation of the faithful #Hive blockchain. During the month of February 2020, steemit was sold to Justin Sun (a high-profile Chinese tech entrepreneur who is known primarily for founding the Tron foundation and acquiring Bittorrent). We all know that #steemit -stinc is the power house responsible for the maintenance of #steem blockchain. So with Justin Sun acquiring it, he now shoulders the responsibility that steemit possess. This he promise but later fails to keep up with as he came up with a different plan thinking the #steem blockchain is populated by bot. This is where his failure started from. He used the ninja mined steem to vote out the community elected witness as he replaces them with his. This added fuel to fire as issues escalate and went out of hand. The witness which has helped to build the steem blockchain up to this hour decides to put down their witness nodes and other dapps which they have built on the #steem blockchain. This was not the only damage done, likes of @andrarchy and fellow steemit/steem developers resigned as the burden of Justin Sun dictating what happens in a decentralized blockchain can't be taken. All the move carried out by the witness in other to get to a common ground prove abortive as Justin Sun stand on his ground. .png) [Credit](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETwFYuqXQAcKk59.png&imgrefurl=https://twitter.com/hashtag/steem?lang%3Den&h=335&w=640&tbnid=rE7ZAOJB59px1M&tbnh=162&tbnw=310&usg=AI4_-kRB-0QKSGHmjJ9f-iGI1NxHkn-UsQ&vet=1&docid=v0iNdVPXINVAPM) This struggle for power continue for weeks as no one is ready to make amendment. Now the #steem blockchain is feeling the effect as price keeps dropping amidst the war. Now the peaceful community was now in tussle as some were supporting Justin Sun-centralization, while some were fully in support of decentralization. Those in support of decentralization were bidding to be forked out of the centralized blockchain (Steem) whch Justin Sun has power over. The rest were sitting on the fence without knowing which side to paddle their Canoe to. .jpeg) [Credit](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://btcmanager.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hive-blockchain-goes-live-with-successful-relaunch-350x209.jpg&imgrefurl=https://btcmanager.com/news/altcoins/&h=209&w=350&tbnid=YNOg0R_sOlbkuM&tbnh=173&tbnw=291&usg=AI4_-kTs2eMGwAMTAfx2gGJp5vyIoc-4cQ&vet=1&docid=8SVxngoOPE-3-M) With uncertainty surrounding the #Steem blockchain, everybody that believes in #Decentralization now looks up to their elected #witness to save them. This is where the birth of #Hive Blockchain came from as the witness makes the right decision by announcing that on the 20th of March 2020, the #steem blockchain will be forked and a new blockchain called #Hive blockchain will be born. That day came and Justin Sun put's up all necessary measures to stop them, but it is too late as #the birth of Hive blockchain came alive. # what is Hive Blockchain? #Hive Blockchain is a decentralized blockchain where the voice of users are being heard and respected. It is a fork of the steem blockchain and in a nutshell, it is being referred to as the blockchain of the people and it is termed freedom. #How to be part of #Hive blockchain? Being part of the Hive community is very easy. You dont need to pass through stress. Now get this right, if you are new to the blockchain, then you have to sign up afresh through hive.blog or use peakd.com to access the #hive platform. You will be asked to provide some details, after doing that, your keys will be provided for you. Make sure you keep them safe, you might not be able to access the #hive blockchain if you loose your keys. If you are a #steemian, you don't need to create a fresh account, all you have to do is to visit [peakd.com]( https://peakd.com/) with your posting key, login and continue blogging. #Goodies of Hive Blockchain Since is a fork of the steem blockchain, nearly all account where airdropped with same amount of token they have in their #steem account. Take for instance, if you have 500sp, 10steem and 400sbd on your old steem account, since hive is a fork of #steem blockchain, you will be given same amount on hive blockchain too. So anything you have on steem blockchain will appear on hive Blockchain. That means you now have times 2 of your token. What a period to be alive. _the only account exempted from this goodies is the account holding the ninja mined stake and some other account voting for Justin Sun sock puppet witness._  [Credit](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/-/media/images/nrf/nrfweb/knowledge/publications/blockchain-technology.jpg?la%3Den%26revision%3Dd8801f2d-ec0b-4a7a-8e15-c3409c7e2344%26hash%3DF63E7D2F93808B8C8BA58F7C4E71B72CE74CBB46&imgrefurl=https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en/knowledge/publications/cb048fa5/blockchain-technology-application-in-life-sciences-and-healthcare-sectors&h=1080&w=1920&tbnid=GfhwY-474nxk3M&tbnh=168&tbnw=300&usg=AI4_-kS4x6h4f_fUzr0fbG7bH3672fmUsw&vet=1&docid=vvcVVppaOZAJaM) #what about my content? All your content on steem blockchain will be ported to #hive blockchain, so you loose nothing. With the above in place, we can say that #hive blockchain shows how decentralization should be done as it recorded one of the best fork ever seen. This was made possible by collective effort of all freedom fighters on the steem-Hive blockchain. Without our various role, this won't be possible.
