I just don't want anybody with 1000X+ the influence of anybody else, that didn't buy it off the market.

How we do that is open to debate.
I'm guessing that all these liquidity pools and defi options will satisfy those that need maximum roi without them reaping the inflation pool that is supposed to be onboarding new folks.

I will be sooo glad when defi flips blogging for why folks come here.
The currency aspects of Hive could dwarf what can be gained from sucking up the pool from the weakest accounts.
Not that some will care, maximum roi means reaping the pool, too.
I'd like to see that minimized and newbs getting the maximum attention.
