I'm not so against Hive Power as a term as it is what gives you power here and non-crypto people may not understand what staking is. The more problematic part is 'Hive' as it clashes with various other products, including another blockchain and a microblogging platform. I expect we are stuck with it now.
Hive Power is definitely the biggest culprit to added confusion. It needs to die and never be mentioned again.
"Hive Power" is a meaningless term that doesnt say anything.
What does that mean? What is power here? It just raises a 100 different questions that needs answering.
"Staked Hive" answers a question instantly. You buy Hive and you stake it.
Matter of fact is that "Hive Power" says even LESS than just calling it staked Hive and it even confuses things more when you remember that "Voting Power" is a thing.😅
Opinions will vary on this of course. You need that Power to vote on posts, comments, witnesses and proposals. You also need Power to be active at all (mana). Staking is for vampires ;)
You need Hive power to vote things and you also need voting power to vote things... But in
a different way. :)
See how silly we made things.
