RE: The Hive early adopter fallacy

They were still rewarded for those later contributions in the form of votes on the posts they made for those contributions.

Yes, but without the stake or the stake spread widely, would developers get rewarded by artists and poets? The development would still need to happen, but not everyone would understand the value of it.

That being said anyone who would adopt a blank network would immediately be in charge of the network as they wouldn't be fighting an upstream battle against ill-gotten stake. I

For better and worse though. A lot of the early accounts were relatively "self-centered" and without some kind of mechanism to discourage that, it could create a very bad result. Remember that while there might be a start from zero, no one in that first group would be a blank slate with some of the most abusive from the past having nothing in their way to counter their abuse. dart/tard come to mind, as do quite a few others.
