The avarice of the whales keeps them sucking ROI via extractive profiteering (none of them have blogs that meaningfully contribute to their stacks, and they are 99% of the downwards price pressure. They only profit when they sell) off the rewards pool, and because they maintain control of Hive governance by maintaining a bare majority of stake they will not risk that ROI for far greater capital gains they might attain by allowing Hive to grow, because that would risk their control of governance.

That's exactly what's up.

I disagree with your stance on downvotes, and last time I checked Netflix wasn't social media, but... hey...

Our whales are too busy protecting their source of income; stepping over dollars to pick up pennies.

And oh how much I hate all the marketing people and how anyone could fall for their fluff talk.

Meanwhile, they now demand bills and checks and accounting from whom?
Developing software just takes time and work.

Every one of their friends (including their friends’ moms) had a go at it and now that it all is running dry, we get a round table.
