I like the essence of what you say, but you have to remember it takes on 2 whale votes to control the vast majority of the Hive population. lol

And that's fair, because it's DPOS. That is how it is supposed to work. However honoring DPOS and it's intention doesn't mean something is fun, interesting or a great investment.

Bear season is hard, and engagement always goes down. However, we didn't recover as much last bull season as the one before, and we didn't dip as far either.

I don't argue with the large stakeholders anymore, because it's a waste of time. Just decide if you really think Hive is going to reach it's potential and power up or down accordingly
