I'm waiting for somebody to reveal in a 'well formatted' post that the sockpuppets all belong to a small clique of the earliest adopters that still hold more than 30% of the tokens.
Naming those names would expose the shame currently kept hidden because they know revealing such a concentration would sink the ship.
I think we would have had traction by now if rich people buying in didn't create the new redshills from the sockpuppets.
No rich people are gonna buy into a game rigged against them, nor would they appreciate being used as exit liquidity, ergo, no really rich people have bought into hive.
Which is just as well, imo.
They don't need hive, they have money, and having them would just create other problems.
If the hive is to thrive we have to convince the redfish to become minnows and the minnows dolphins.
There is a much better chance that this causes distribution to occur, than does hoping for rich people to buy in.
There are some lower rich people that have bought in, and one group of those is knocking it out the park and will probably exceed aggie, et al, as the outsider extraordinaire.
Perhaps, if that happens, we will see the governance spread out a little.
The whole predicate of crypto and web3 is that the kings are made obsolete, not to set up the new boss same as the old boss.
You are so much smarter than me, it hurts. Good thing I like it. However, very few people buy influence to share it with folks that don't have it. That just needs to happen on Hive for Hive to succeed. To quote Huey Lewis, we need a new drug. One that don't make us sick.
While the predicate is to eliminate kings, once investors get the power to eliminate kings, they discover they can be one, and change their minds. It's good to be the king, I hear.
Now, sooner or later the end of kings comes, where things crash so hard kings get btfo. Then maybe the kingmakers change their minds. But, of course, then it's too late to back power off the emperor.
Decentralization can change all that, by being too small to make kings. It can make communities of confederate flag makers, for example, and they can't make a king, so they have to share power. This can create power sharing mechanisms that can rise above kings - if they see through the kingmakers.
If we build it, and stick to our knitting, we will.
Poor people help other poor people all the time.
If you need help, rich people are unlikely to deliver.
They always say 'get a job' while neglecting that their wealth came from other people working jobs to their benefit. source
I will refer to a man that started working at 12 to support his family, when his single mother was institutionalized at an insane asylum. I do work for him from time to time as a handyman.
I suggest you will need specific examples, such as I refer to. He is moderately wealthy today, and does indeed parasitize the work of others, but he did not design the system he has worked hard to succeed in, rather he dedicated his life to supporting his mother, who is disabled due to her mental challenges, and his brothers and family he continues to provide support to, despite them all being adults and capable of working.
He is not megawealthy, but provides the best example of hard work I am personally familiar with in my entire life. He is also generous to a fault, and only yesterday told me to take care of me before completing work I have begun on his property (I am ill, and actually threw up when he came by to deliver food, embarrassingly).
I believe you can seek better friends, and I prove they exist by my experience.
What makes cryptocurrency valuable is the community that uses them, that builds a decentralized society with them, that eliminates parasitic losses with them. The problem is that folks that get a sizable chunk aren't in it for the community, and are focused on getting more sizable a chunk.
Communities on Hive aren't even close to a direct translation of communities on the ground.
In communities on the ground are broad diversity of interests, of real estate, of fortune, fame, and fashion. Communities on Hive are focused, blindered, and echo chambers. more organic communities may arise on Hive or other social media, which may make them more useful, but they're not arising atm. The gun printing community has very little diversity of it's members. Most of them print guns, which means they're not exchanging apples for oranges, which is what makes communities on the ground valuable.
For communities to be strong, they have to have a diversity of assets, of foci, and of things to trade internally to create strong economies. People just swapping gun parts with each other doesn't make a very strong community. It has a thin basis for trade, and one tiny change to some metric can destroy that basis for trade overnight. That's the opposite of what we need from communities online. We need them to be a lot more like geocentric communities, because that gives them walls, financial centers, family friendly foundations, and myriad strengths that can't be dismissed by a bureaucratic rule change.
So what basis can communities online have? On the ground it's geolocation that cements communities. That is also sometimes creating a central focus for communities online. However that's not better than geocentric communities, not stronger, not different. Communities that mirror the strengths of geocentric communities, but have different foci potentiate mirroring geocentric communities, but increasing their strenth, making them different enough that a bureaucratic rule change can't destroy them entirely overnight.
A sonic gaming community that has sections that print Sonic puppets, that sell Sonic puppet parts, that sells Sonic gloves, puppies named sonic, beds with Sonic pictures on the headboards, sheets, and pillowcases, and etc, begins to become a strong, decentralized online community. But communities need walls, need family focused centers, and etc. that make geocentric communities strong, just as much as geocentric communities.
Yeah, I totally agree with everything you've said. But just in case, do not even think about having loudly and very noisy sex if you have close grumpy neighbors in your community or if it occurs to you eat some ramen in the comfort of your own home for that matter. Because all of the sudden, someone could come knocking on your door to complain and scold you. :D
PS.Excuse me for the lack of seriousness when answering to your very well thought out and sobering reply. I guess tonight I have my twisted and naughty sense of humor a bit rattled. LoL
I am a screamer, though. If you come a' knockin' you'll leave feeling inadequate. I'll encourage you to really make your dreams come true, and no matter what your purpose was coming over, you'll be intent on bettering your sex life when you're leaving.
