I like this idea, but JPMorgan proves it's not enough to prevent destructive use.
You seem not to be aware that social media is the largest sector of global financial markets, and grew from nothing to dominance in ~10 years. People need to communicate forthrightly and freely, and no platform currently available allows that on a global scale. All that needs to happen for Hive to conquer the world is for censorship and functional banning to end.
Unfortunately, we seem to have arrived at the end of the internet, because having to provide biometric ID to use the internet will eliminate dissent, and that eliminates the value of free speech which provides danger signals. That's why we need free speech, and why lacking free speech is an existential threat to our lives. That existential utility of free speech is why social media became the largest sector of global financial markets in only ten years. KYC internet is not existentially useful, and will lose market share back to traditional market sectors, like governance and insurance, #1 and #2 financial sectors prior to the internet, and today #2 and #3, right behind social media.
Losing the ability to access the internet without being personally identified will eliminate the potential utility of social media, and we will learn why free speech is an existential need. WWIII will explain it to us very clearly.
