HIVE rewards have to stay unless we want to risk chain governance becoming hopelessly centralized which would put everyone's funds at risk, including on all the second layer tokens. Corrupting 20 stakeholders

I fully agree with those statements! I don't like it when people ramble or write unclearly for any other reason. I start suspecting they're hiding flaws in their thinking. In reality, it is just sloppiness
