It's everyone's favorite time of the year!!

It's proposal time!

And along with that comes our newest entry into....

As The DHF Turns!

Yup, here we are once again...Arguing about the DHF and what gets funded and what doesn't. I've remainded quiet over the years with my opinion of, but at times I can get a little fired up :)

To tonight, while sipping on a fantatic cup of coffee, I decided to have a wee little rant.

Hope you guys enjoy. And please do leave your comments...

That was fun to listen to!

My issue with the proposal is that the focus is on an indivudual case without having a framework present. I feel that we can expect a lot more backdated claims from the popular figures (that feel they need to be compensated) in the future as the precedent is set with this case.

I find it hard to digest that we did not look at the broader questions first;

  • should we compensate key figures for past performance (or losses) retrospectively?
  • If so, when and when not?
  • if so, how do we prevent this from being a popularity contest?
  • if so, what is a reasonable amount (based both on the work aswell as the market conditions and impact on hive?)

I would had loved these questions being discussed first. I would have had zero issues with a 2026 proposal to fund the efforts of this individual (even at a higher cost), but that this case got excepted without defining a framework for future claims (they will follow!) rubs me in the wrong way.

Yeah I mean my thinking is everything that Hive has supported with these proposals has brought us to 6 cent tokens. And I get it, the market is really bad, but when you talk to anyone about 'crypto' and even web3 for that matter, Hive is never mentioned. That tells me what we are doing hasn't been working.

There's no drama, just a dictator who has over 30 million Hive and does whatever he wants, no matter how absurd it may be.

He's got a pretty sweet deal....No one can argue with the king of the blockchain lol

I am not mad at the DHF for existing, but I just feel that the accountability isn't there. It would be nice to see exactly how they are spending those funds.

i think it’s a fantastic idea. and should have been such a powerful tool to get hive out to the masses. we’ve pooped the bed i think. but things can get better.

Well mate, I'm completely and absolutely in agreement with everything you've said. ¡Good riddance!

Yeah! it's time to do things different here! Let's just try something different! It's definitely time for a freaking change! Post reblogged for my handful of followers & readers.

Appreciate that very much, thanks!!

You are welcome bro. It's always a pleasure for me to reblog and share things that make sense.

And by the way, perhaps you might be interested in taking a look at my latest post, which I suspect was somehow inspired by your video in this article.

Cheers!!
