"As soon as new capital arrives..."

I'm not going to disagree with your claim about present capitalization of Blurt!, as I have neither reason nor urge to do so, other than common prudential practices, which aren't applicable to Blurt! principals to my knowledge. However, investment chases ROI, and specifying what provides that to new money coming in would be advised, at least IMHO.

"You yourself wrote that DV is the reason most tokens go to whales."

Yes, and it's still true. But that's the reason for Hive's terrible user retention, and is killing the platform. Sooner or later it will result in a death spiral (if that's not presently in progress) and that will change the whales. Profiteers that were only here for the steady cash will move on to pastures they can graze profitably, and some may stay to Make Hive Great At last, by enabling the user base to grow. Anything can happen. We'll see.

"...even 15% yields a low rate of return after subtracting dollar inflation. BTC yields better returns..."

Both claims are true. However I long advocated - and still do - for 20% yield on HBD savings for that very reason. As to BTC it is good that there are better returns, but anyone that puts all their eggs in one basket is begging to lose them all when some catastrophe specific to that basket comes along. Seasoned investors don't do that, because they've either made that mistake before and lost their ass, or seen it happen to someone else and learned the easy way.

"...those who invested in HBD lose out compared to those who invested in Hive."

There are specifics in the code that favor the ~36 whales, most of whom mined Steem early on and put those devils in the details to maintain their control of governance by maintaining their bare majority of stake. As I've mentioned before, that isn't some kind of Papal decree, but will change when that cabal has mined the platform to the limits of it's ability to withstand that parasitism. The underlying utility of social media that obviates advertising, centralization, and censorship remains potential - which is why Blurt! exists too - and will eventually shrug off that control or die of it, and Blurt! exemplifies what happens if Hive dies.

"...your solution of removing the curation reward is simply stupid..."

You can disagree and provide criticism that's useful, or you can just be an asshole, as you have chosen. I can't disagree with you being an asshole, and I can't prove your incapacity to present substantive arguments isn't the result of your lack of intelligence, no matter how hard I try, so I'm not going to try. Be all the ass you want. It doesn't reflect one iota on me, because what comes out of you is what is inside you - not me.

"...you won't achieve anything here..."

I have constantly achieved what I set out to do when I joined the platform in 2017, which is to speak forthrightly about such matters as I reckon I should. Your definition of achievement has nothing to do with me, nor are you a seer that can tell the future, so your imprecation is utterly without merit. I've never sold a token for fiat and have no interest in doing so. What you consider success isn't relevant to me, nor do I consider it success at all to attain mere financial assets absent fundamental productive capacity to create real wealth.

I've responded as you've made criticisms of substance, but, as you've demonstrated you have no intention of respectful discourse, and your lack of self esteem results in you displaying your incapacity to avoid ad hominems, I've no further interest in wasting my time watching you degrade yourself spewing written micturation in my direction. If your mother didn't raise you to respect yourself enough to demonstrate good manners, I've no interest in taking on that task. If you can't discuss agreeably, then your disagreement isn't able to be discussed with polite company, and I intend to remain polite company.
