I missed that return is on top of Steem dao and good point. But only 25% of Hive dao is being used. It seems to be growing around 40~50% more than Steem dao. The extraa trickle rate should be connected to the fork, not to mention overall effects of instantly powering down 83 million Hive.

Time will tell if we need all the cash, we definitely have good mechanisms to prevent abuse and stuff being funded we definitely don't want.

I don't think there is any enduring evil or serious flaws and I definitely choose Hive over Steem. Things should become clearer soon enough.
