When a new user shows up and is told their opinion does not count until they power up, that is a growth-negative interaction. When a developer ships an app and is told their voice in governance discussions is proportional to their wallet, that is a growth-negative interaction. Each one of those interactions is a data point that gets shared in group chats, Twitter threads, and conversations with other developers about which chains are worth building on.
Because it is true. You can say whatever you want, but if you do not have the power to back it up with governance power. It is nothing more than pissing in the wind. People with power might come and ask your opinion. But giving them your unsolicited opinion does nothing.
Hive needs more people. Not more whales. It needs developers, creators, users, and community builders at every level of stake. Treating wallet size as the entry fee for participation has never worked. It did not work on Steemit and it is not working on Hive. The pattern is well established at this point. The only question is whether the community is willing to learn from it.
People that say Hive needs more people miss one single fact, and that is a person does not create equal value for the chain. Some do not even generate positive value for the chain.
I think that is a very narrow way to look at HIVE. If you only value people based on their power (HP/$), you miss how a network and community actually works/grows.
If all the small fish leave because they feel ignored (and in fact many are inactive), the whales will be left swimming in an empty pond. A blockchain needs a crowd to have any real value. Without creators and users, the coins are just numbers on a screen.
Every person who brings excitement or builds a connection is adding value that a bank account cannot buy. We should be careful not to drive away the very people who make the network worth owning. I agree with @beggars's point of view.
No one is going to take someone who has 100 HP seriously. That is just the fact of the chain. They don't have a meaningful amount of stake to be taken seriously.
So Bitcoin does not have any real value got it.
And not every person bring those. People do not generate the same worth, communities do not generate the same worth. Some people and some communities can be net negative. Some developers can be a net negative. So I do not agree with his PoV.
You are proving my point. That's why people are leaving HIVE.
I wasn't talking about Bitcoin
Maybe not everyone, but for sure many more that go unnoticed. Weather someone generates values or not is a subjective matter, but I've seen post of people what get votes from the same Whales over and over again, and when I read their post I just ask myself "why?" On the other hand there are so many other creator that are ignore month after month, and I ask myself the same question, "Why?". The point is, once people stop using HIVE Blockchain, then you'll see how important the little accounts are. Oh, that's probably why the price of HIVE is what it is right now. 😉Again, I think he is right.
They are welcome to leave. We don't need delusional people.
You said a blockchain, Bitcoin is a blockchain.
Anyone is free to vote whoever they want. No one is entitled to any rewards. If they are going unnoticed they should ask themselves why they are going unnoticed. They should not ask why whales are not voting for them.
Not in the slightest.
I don't care, what you think.
