Corporate transitions happen constantly, and user agreements are frequently rewritten. You might find that retroactive rules are suddenly governing your previous publications, or you might see an entire project face complete liquidation. While people accept this as standard practice for traditional businesses, it absolutely should not be the reality for the elements of a protocol that are rightfully yours. This includes your accounts, your history, your content, your friends, your funds, and your access.
Hive was created specifically because the accepted standard is not always adequate. Amid a period of genuine uncertainty, our community united to engineer a technological solution that places the management of your value firmly back under your control. Consequently, your Hive account is completely secure from being overwritten or auctioned off to a third party. No corporation holds the authority to put the graph up for sale or change its brand identity. Different frontends are entirely free to compete for your engagement, but not a single one of them possesses the underlying social layer. Ultimately, you cannot be owned.
