There you go, guys... You got one FULL VIEW on YT, for the whole 2.5 hours of watching... 😃
Great show and great talk with @starkerz! We need more places like this to talk, to spread the word, to give more exposure to different opinions, and to debate more... My Wednesdays got fucked completely, and I didn't do the #HHHLive show for a while... I hope I will find a way to do it at some other time, as it's important to create spaces as you did!
HIVE is still a great blockchain and awesome tech... But, you are right, there are some weeds that should be taken out, the house needs cleaning, and the budget has to be adjusted... Hopefully, there will be more people to step out and to start thinking and reasoning... HBD and HIVE are ours, and not just by a couple of people... We can't afford to copy the system from which we escaped!
Keep doing what you are doing, guys! 💪
Would you have certain things that you would say we lack on Dapp side?
Hopefully, Magi will bring some dev. power and we will see some good DeFi projects on HIVE... I know that we are a social network, but bringing money to HIVE could help a lot + those apps wouldn't ask for money, as they WILL create money for liquidity providers, and make conversions easier for others...
Besides that, having some self-sustainable games that could burn HIVE tokens would also be nice to see... If we had 10 games as Splinterlands (or better), we wouldn't be where we are...
All in all... We don't need a lot... 1 killer dapp that would showcase that being self-sustainable on HIVE is possible, would be enough to motivate and incentivize other devs to have that kind of view... Until devs look at DHF as a "safe milking cow", we will not see better days... Plus, DHF can also be a "demotivator", especially for competition that would like to create apps similar to those that are already financed through DHF...
We agree 100% that DHF spending has gone through the roof. Maybe they planned a different outcome, a more possitive one, but so far all of the spending has not done too much good for Hive. Yes, in Venezuela and other South American countries Hive is known, but Marketing in a Country where people are hungry for money shouldn't be that hard when we are giving away so mutch. Overall, DHF Spending has to change not only in numbers but the criteria for DHF funding should be more difficult. Maybe payout by milestones, Payment as a loan...in a way where a project should become selfsustainable.
We need to keep on talking about this, but also come to some sort of agreement...find a middleground and do changes and not only talk all the time without any real progress.
