The fact that the pre-mining stage was eliminated gives me great joy. I never knew of this. so this means that everyone that has high amount of hive and HP got it on their own which having it from the start.
Now this is what decentralized means.
Imagine one has bought millions of hive from the very first beginning, the system wont be very trusted and people wont want to put in much work as they are doing now.
It is naturally impossible to know how much ETH any individual has
on hive, you can know how much anyone has on the hive blockchain, nothing is hidden
