You made a point blocksize could be raised along with witness reward growing while Hive price rises. However this would only apply to top20 witnessess effectively making block producing more elite sport.

You'd think that, wouldn't you?
I know I used to.
But even my (+@sn0n +@rishi556) witness @hextech was breaking even when Hive was valued at like 20 cents. Now that Hive is valued over $1 the @hextech witness is generating a cash flow even though it's rank #37. We can already afford a full node. In fact we can afford to BUY a full node server (not rent on the AWS cloud).
There's also no rules about tweeking the system a little bit so witnesses outside the top 20 get a little bit more money than they do now. There are a lot of options and variables to consider.
You are absolutely right! I'd love to see 3 random witnessess choesen to confirm every block, it would rise rewards and improve security as well.
