Since the beginning of our Community Curation Project back in 2018 we've accepted either Delegations or Liquid HIVE Contributions from members. It's always been a choice, however the intention has always been to get our members building up a stake in Hive and moving toward a position where they could preferably choose the delegation option. Delegation shows a longer term commitment to SGS and Hive overall and it is generally easier for me to manage too. We got to the point where all but one of our members were delegating...and that last member who was contributing liquid HIVE each month has just dropped off. So it's a good time to be asking - "Do we even need that option any more?"
In the context of what appears to be a building Bull Market for Hive (we have more than tripled our price in the last 2 months!) I also am asking myself whether it's an option that we should be even encouraging when faced with a potential influx of new interest in our ecosystem and community.
So, for now I am unilaterally suspending the Liquid HIVE Contribution for Precious since nobody is now using that option and I think it's important that we remain focused on supporting the SGS Members who have been loyally supporting our project with delegations through the Hive Winter. We do still have a few members who are delegating on behalf of others and that is still fine. I was going to try and formalize a sort of Scholarship / Patronage Program at some point but for now that's on the TO DO list and I feel that it's not a bad idea to keep it on the back burner while HIVE is behaving so wildly.
If anyone has any objections to this or wants to discuss this change or the current situation with Hive and/or Precious then please feel free to comment below or preferably reach out to me on the community Discord.
Thanks for your understanding and support
