many are saying the 13 weeks is why hive is still not hitting 1$ and above.

This is 100% the issue. The current price of the Hive token is making people say stupid shit that they would never say if we had a higher token price. Our random ass token price shouldn't have any effect on the moves we make going forward.

I would support 4 weeks if we actually had network consensus to get 4 weeks... slowly over time one week at a time. But we don't. We have loud voices making wild assumptions about macro-economics like they couldn't be wrong. It's obnoxious that so many people are focusing on the wrong things. Clearly Defi and our stable coin are way way way more important than these timelocks.
