Well @cryptographic, while I have no way of knowing for certain, I suspect there are a lot of people like us here on our Hive blockchain. Frustrated ...

Unfortunately, we do not have the economic clout to make much (if any ...) difference. I intentionally stopped short of claiming (as I and likely you have seen elsewhere) the "system" is "rigged" in favor of those who do have the economic clout to make a difference. Who knows (that's willing to acknowledge it anyway) ...

Which brings us all to this critical decision point:

"... EVEN THOUGH I am penalized economically ..."

This reminds me of one of the very few times a "whale" bothered to respond to a comment I made on his post. In his response to me on this post, @trafalgar was man enough to admit he had once "fought the good fight" against all of the abuses on the previous EIP "system." Then he gave up and joined the others at whatever one might wish to call it. As a result, he was arguing in favor of the EIP system we are talking about now. BTW, last I knew @trafalgar was no longer active ...

"Not deluded, but very hopeful. The whole HIVE fork is a thing of wonder in my book. There's an extraordinary group of people at the core of this, and throughout as well. Lots of reasons to have high expectations for HIVE."

I'm sure there are many who are hopeful, in spite of all we are discussing. And while we are waiting ...

The price of HIVE is heading down below 1500 sats ... Once HF24 is successfully behind us, I guess together we'll find out what is in store for us.

Thank you very kindly for stopping by! 😉
