I can agree with most of that. I also have no idea what the whales may discuss amongst themselves, but we have to live with them having a lot of control. I just try to nudge things where I can. More users would fix some issues, but people will say they have be the 'right' sort, whatever that is. I think some fear a flood from poorer countries who will extract all they earn. We see that to some extent, but it may not be as bad as they fear. I saw that on the Tsu site when some influencer in Pakistan got lots to join up as he could get a share of their earnings. With the current Hive price it may be a less attractive option.

I do think that most whales have good intentions and they have most to lose.
