RE: Hive Exchange Listings and Communication/PR Proposal

in #hive4 years ago

Well done Justine!

I think a lot of the people opposing this proposal are forgetting that in a truly decentralized community, something that is everyone's job becomes no one's job. It's so easy for everyone to rely on anyone else to get things done, and so nothing gets done.

The work that Justine has done behind the scenes has increased the platform as a whole and increased the value of everyone's stake. Hive has no CEO, which is great because no one can take advantage, but it's bad when dealing with other corporations, etc. Other companies aren't going to trust a mess of people, they need a professional person to be the main contact and negotiator.

I have no problem with people questioning the numbers, but I don't think we should attack or discourage people asking for payment or undertaking responsibilities that benefit the community. Imagine Hive on Coinbase, there's a huge change it would benefit us all, but Coinbase isn't going to trust a faceless community.

Totally happy for people to put in proposals for their own value adding work that benefits the community... I don't think it should only be for development, because, quite frankly, what's the point of having the best blockchain in the world if no one knows about it?
