It is extremely frustrating that all of the platforms we can buy and sell hive on are banned in the US and Canada... Using a VPN to circumvent them feels like a risk and I've been wondering just how the fuck we plan to get people to opt in when half the market has to use workarounds just to buy. Last time we hit 3$ we HAD valid North American exchanges... I don't see that happening this time.
I love HIVE, to be clear. I like what we have but when you stop to examine our situation it feels like we stopped caring. There USED TO be a push for us to get listed on more places and that hasn't been talked about for like two years now. Folks mention it's being worked on but in years we've gotten nowhere.
And then there's the pooling you mention - the rewards skew towards a minority and with 50% going to them it'll always be that way. Content creators are the backbone of the chain supposedly but the actual earners are definitely like 30 or fewer whales.
Very True and this is why we are going nowhere fast. But how do we solve this inequality that is so far away from decentralization that it is laughing to even claim we are. There is no solution. The big accounts will not sell as they are earning nicely. It's their stake so they have that right. Who am I to tell them what to do with it. As the guy said in his post there will be no million dollar investments so we are coasting off a cliff in a car in slow motion. The most likely end game here is another fork as the discontent grows among the regular users or normalies like myself. It shall be called Stive.😃
