Powering up is not only an investment in self, if used properly (not self voting the crap out of your stake) it's an investment in those you interact with.

Nailed it bud. As I said in a comment earlier we have a golden opportunity right now. The ninja mined stake is no longer a threat and we can turn this place in whatever we like most.

By default anything can be built on Hive. Literally anything.

All it takes is us, removing all the bad habits and attitudes from Steem. There were tons of flaws on Steem, things were far from perfect and Steemit's stake was just one of those flaws. If we treat this place with respect the only possible outcome will be...success.
