Apprecaited. I figured this may be one of the only ways to have HIVE get on top of this "DeFi" hype train going on while offering the community the ability to become part of consensus of the network by bonding hive in the network to become block producers. It's my understanding that blocktrades is also working on smart contract support too, but as a hivemind extension. Given not a whole lot of people have hardware laying around or HIVE instances running to get Hivemind going to run his version I'd create a side chain that would be easier to decentralize and not favour those only those with prior sysadmin skills.
