Well some contradictions here...as you point out hive is not a democracy it's a plutocracy but it's still shitty.

The problem is the idea of decentralization is more relative to democracy. Which is why you have all those miners. interesting enough projects with more miners seem to perform better than projects with less miners. Such as hive with less miners not even a top 100 crypto can't seem to ever get there?

i think for me the solution lies in an even more controversial area or the transhumanist idea of an ai governance model where there are no flawed human decisions at all.
