We had a 20% hbd APR and decided to decrease it to 15% due to inflation and such. Nothing much happened in terms of something positive. The main reason is the DHF, everyone needs to understand that. Another reason is that we don't do anything collectively; everyone does their thing for their own sake.

It's not like we have endless money or something to fund whatever. Also, the way we decided who would get the funding is pretty much the opposite of democracy. Even let's say we are okay with a few people determining who will get funding, there have to be multiple layers of protection in terms of Hive and its people.

What will happen if they don't meet their goals?

Where is accountability and in what form?

If i write down that the cost of a dev will be 5k per month and i hire an indian guy for less than 1k and keep the rest, who will know? Where is transparency?

We don't follow collective marketing efforts. We need users, we need investors, we need builders, yet we can't even make on decision about DHF. I keep on hearing and talking about this for years and nothing is happening, it's crazy.

Lowering HBD APR is not the solution if nothing happens with DHF and we don't follow a clear path. It's like we're constantly avoiding it. Also note that HBD APR is something that everyone in here can get into. Even people who don't have a lot of money can collect 1$-10$-100$ and receive, let's say a more stable "income". Mostly, one can get a DHF funding.
