Hive is not a project that's carried out by small groups. It's not just "Top 20 witnesses" or "Blocktrades". Some contribute more than others, true. That being said, there are a lot of people involved in every single aspect of this entire blockchain, its ecosystem and everything that can possible have to do with its existence. Participation isn't limited to a select group.

Oh! mind-blowing! It feels like a fresh air in the soul to know that if one throws a rock at the rodeo, one can hit more heads than we expected to try collect the bill to the responsible of those hideous "Transaction Broadcast Errors" during these last days. Hahahaha. :p

You are free to contribute in any way you want to any part of the Hive ecosystem you want.

Yep, nothing serious all kidding. };)
