Your comments are longer than my posts :)
You may guess that I am not purely driven by money and there are people on Hive who just want to pay the bills rather than worry about getting rich. Even the big players may be driven by other things as they could make an easier buck elsewhere. Maybe it's about power, but ruling over this tiny community is not going to be that satisfying. I've met quite a few of them and made up my own mind.
I'd hope it's not just bots here, but things are changing rapidly. I'll do what I think is best and that's not always to my gain.
I think defences are in place to reduce the chances of another hostile takeover, but you just never know what will happen. I'm along for the ride.
