Ok, you remove part of the stabilization mechanism of HBD (which is not the only one).

Now you got more demand on HIVE, but then how do you stabilize HBD?

We get told.
Buy HIVE stake it and your voice is stronger. If you have no stake in the game why should you have a voice. This is said when a view conflicts with that of those who do have the power to make a difference.

If Hive has no stake in the real world. Why should the real world care about Hive.

These two ideas as you wrote them are contradictory in my view. Or they lack of additional context to make the message clear of why they were said in first place.

First, stake is a protection mechanism of the code. Has nothing to do with real world value in first place. The value comes from people that have stake (stake alone does nothing to the value if the people component is not there).

So, yes, people can still have a voice and they can still choose to be able to have stake in order to provoke change on the chain (because they now have a security component as part of their responsibility). They can still change things without a voice and/or without stake, but that's disincentivized as part of the code security context.

Lastly, who has the power is relative... just because you have stake, it does not mean you have the power. Just look at how Hive was created!

People is everything on Hive... That's why the real world cares about it.
