What are there, like 10k active users? Not even close to a parallel comparison.

It's not a comparison at all.
It is a statement of fact.
My words have clearly had a provable affect on this network.
To say that it's all controlled by 20 people is silly.
Especially considering that the bottom half of the top 20 is always changing.

A strawman argument fallacy eh?

People are annoying and entitled. They demand the world and refuse to do any of the work required to get there. "Someone else should be doing this!" People come here and ask why they aren't at the top of the trending tab after a week. I've seen it all: they are delusional and oblivious to how things actually work. That's not a strawman that's 6 years of experience being on this network for thousands of hours.

Oh look at that an account older that mine that has less total value locked inside that what I make here in 3 days. What the actual fuck is this? Who are you? What have you been doing here for the last 7 years? Seriously though. It's always the people who aren't willing to risk anything or extract the most value for themselves that I end up having these conversations with. Every time. How the fuck am I supposed to take you seriously when this is the first thing I see when I lookup your account? I just can't even right now.

Here's a theory for you:
It's people like you who aren't building up your stack and increasing your power within the network that are literally allowing the oligarchy to materialize. Duh? So basically this is all your fault. Which logical fallacy is that, I wonder. Or is it just gaslighting? Seriously why do you think you get a say in the direction of this network? I'm truly curious.

Every single governance structure in the world is stake based. There is no such thing as a government where the rich and powerful do not rule. At least in crypto the average person can benefit from that because the rich are literally backstopping the value of currency in every single citizen's pocket. You don't get that with a debt based private bank fractional reserve.

After the wash, Hive ends up being the exact structure as the hated US government

Absurd from every point-of-view possible. Hive is an OPT-IN DIGITAL government that people can join, fork, or leave at any time. It cannot jail anyone or threaten lethal force. It doesn't legally oblige parents to send their kids to the brainwashing camps we call the public school system.

I apologize if you feel personally attacked by any of this (not my intent despite my tone) and truly stuff like this is just dust in the wind for me. My memory is not good and next month I will forget that we even had this conversation.
