Yes this is good research for me as far as market psychology. I'm out to prove proof of brain doesn't work or stakeweighted voting but human energy vorting does. So i suspect proving this theory won't be instant but that's fine i've given myself enough time to crreate a system that converts human energy into cryptocurrency.
Proof of Brain creates rarity on the ability or inability of users to purchase stake or want to purchase stake. So in that way there isn't a real form of decentralized mining. So my point is this.. that the system will cap out because of this.
That doesn't mean the system doesn't have use. Those who wish to invest in stake makes the system and transactions free and that can be effective if used properly. So yes that probably will come through second layer.
i disagree with your corelation in upvoting and value. i think that thesis is what holds hive back.. However i'm not against the system completely in that it may be necessary to accomodate the system structure for free transactions.. which many would find of some value. So i'm okay with some of you paying the lunch bill but to overall grow the system value yes you need other components giving over value.. For example" there was a coin called electroneum that gave free crypto per month to people mostly useful in developing nations... but they incorporated a taskworker system so these people could trade online skills for the currency.
So the point is human energy adds value not a stakeweighted voting system.. On one hand it kinda does but the impact of the velocity of money growing the system doesn't work because generally those with stake hold on to it and those without it don't. So i been studying the system and i'm not surprised you all haven't grown in value and never break into the top 100 coins.. but a free second layer service may solve that problem and in such a system the value added to the hive ecosystem comes from human energy not a minority of stakeholders remember there is no system in human history where that's worked.
Any type of dual economies won't work. Neofeudalist systems are the worse value systems in human history.. So i kinda feel like it's the mouse in the hamster wheel or the dog chasing his tail in these type systems. Yes they in the beginning may have to exist this way.. Certainly the end doesn't work
