Also, I'm trying to look out for Hive as a whole, this isn't a personal issue.

It isn't a personal issue to me either. I can take my money else where. The money I've powered up is the money I don't bat an eye at losing.

Hive being at 15% means nothing, when it goes down 15% in a year. (If you curate you already get close to 10%.)

And you don't have an answer to this. You can't get people to power-up at 10% already. Why would they power up at 15%? We couldn't even get people to park their money on HBD at 20% APR.
