Unfortunately the people who control the system are the very ones who profit from it staying the way it is. What do they care if Hive falls to 10 cents as long as they are raping the system for hundreds of HBD per day?

Vote the return proposal and tell every single person you talk to on Hive to do the same. With the exception of investing a shit load of money to buy our way to the top (which is unlikely), I see the return proposal as our best bet to gain some control over this situation.
