For sure man. That’s really what all this is. I want to power up more hive and I want people’s opinions so I can take them into consideration as I do things.
I’m not sure I agree with the consensus on upvotes and downvotes. Both are tools to curate in my mind.
If I have more stake, I should be able to influence the kind of content I see. People who post stuff I like, should be able to get something out of it.
That’s how it works.
If I can’t curate the kind of content I want with my stake then this whole thing is a bunch of nonsense.
Either HP is valuable, or it isn’t.
To me it seems valuable. Most people don’t think it is, so they sell it. That’s ok, it’s their money they can do what they want.
But the reward pool is not free. We pay for it through inflation which causes the token price to go down.
If people are writing things they don’t like for projects they don’t care about, yea, they are going to dump it. And they should be able to.
If people write about things they really cherish, they are more likely to appreciate the HIVE they received and use it to curate content they want to see too, in my opinion.
And maybe one day they too can became a whale? Is it probable? No. Is it possible? Sure!
I should be able to do what I want with my stake. Just like everyone else. We are all free.
And if I can’t do what I want with my stake. What is the point of any of this?
