We are not remotely ready for this, in my opinion.
We've been developing this ecosystem for seven years, and there are only one or two tribes or tokenized communities that have been successful.
I think it would be possible if we have, as you say, better L2 solutions.
Maybe development will be accelerated in the upcoming months/years.
We are probably a year out from actually knowing if we can actually attempt it.
The infrastructure is being made, it needs to be made user friendly but it should be here fairly soonish.
Nobody is saying anything about making the change now. It needs to be discussed openly and at length. It's obviously something that will not happen over night. It must be taken into consideration with every step of building going forward and not overlooked or pushed to the back burner or down the list of priorites.
Ok, but Hive should create, not remove.
I don't think it's a good look for investors to see these discussions in the public. They won't have the time to learn all the context.
IMO, there are many priorities before this. There's a long list.
I get what you are saying.
But having these discussions "behind closed doors" is not how open source and decentralized systems are created. We are all Hive owners and have just as much right and just as much say in the direction of it as any body else. It's not a centralized, corporate stucture with a board of directors calling the shots for share holders. It's either public or it's not.
Having this kind of discussion now is tatamount and as big as if not more importance of all other prioirties. To make a decision to change something like this later could rip apart or change the direction of things that are being built now or coming. You cant rip out the foundation of a building after you've added the third level and expect that third level to be the same.
It might be better to start these discussions until we have at least five or ten successful tokenized communities running for a considerable time.
What if they don't work at all?
Look at all the ones out there. Only one really works, but it's because the leaders have made a tremendous effort and development. The rest are pretty much worthless.
We are focusing too much energy on this when we should be solving other priorities. But that's my opinion, not everyone needs to agree.
The discussion about this leads to attention towards L2 and smart contracts. It puts necessity on its development.
Ok, I get that.
Let's hope we have something that can be tested and works soon.
