Accessibility is vital to scaling. If applications cannot onboard users and get them active, an ecosystem will not go very far."

As someone who recently went through the onboarding process, I can say that gas fees were the LEAST of my worries as I tried to get up and running on this blockchain. I won't go into all of the gnarly details here, but suffice to say that had I not been massively helped by someone who's been here a long, long, time, I would've given up days before actually getting a wallet and purchasing HIVE. Hell, I wouldn't even have an account if it weren't for him!

Before evangelizing the future, HIVE needs to get their present ducks in a row. I think this is a nifty system and economy, but accessible? Not even close.
