I think that is a very narrow way to look at HIVE. If you only value people based on their power (HP/$), you miss how a network and community actually works/grows.

If all the small fish leave because they feel ignored (and in fact many are inactive), the whales will be left swimming in an empty pond. A blockchain needs a crowd to have any real value. Without creators and users, the coins are just numbers on a screen.

Every person who brings excitement or builds a connection is adding value that a bank account cannot buy. We should be careful not to drive away the very people who make the network worth owning. I agree with @beggars's point of view.
