I am wholeheartedly against ‘Proof of Stake’ as a governance method. As stated above, the fact that whales are able to influence voting via threats
Inasmuch as I won't be cowed into the making decisions due to the fear of influence, I still believe that a lot of people here knows how centralised the tribe system and hive engine works. It begs to ask the question: can pure decentralization work or be achievable in the tribe systems on hive? Even if it were so, what would be the repercussions? What would be the advantages? There will continue to be speculations whether there's CPOS or DPOS, I just feel that dialogue is the key that proof of stake should and wouldn't work as a governance method. It's all about trust, can be trust in the centralised system? How far are we willing to push the project? Hope the founder would not up and disappear one day? All these are questions.
Truth is, it's all about making or experimenting to see how we'd eventually get it right.
As for downvotes it shouldn't be remove, Just refrained. There should be some protection so that the tribe would not go to shit and it would have been all for nothing.
