Actually this strong middle class has proven to be super important. If there are so many people who are kind of rich, it's hard to bribe them or supress them without global coordination and spending lot of money to track their real IDs. This layers 0 stuff makes me wonder if Hive can be bigger than EOS.
The (semi-)centralization of EOS is its Achilles's heel. It's easy to come after just few stakeholders and devs. Even the 13 week power down is probably one of the greatest features about Hive. It really force people to be in it for the long term.
I think people undervalue how important distribution is in DPOS, I'm pretty sure Hive is one of the best distributed currencies out there, closest competition would probably be dogecoin.
You think? What about BAT, PRE and PI? Am certain these tokens are in more hands then HIVE. Just a little observation 😉
Sure, but I don't mean amount of different hands, I mean stake distributed widely to as many as possibly based on existing active accounts.
Sure, I understand. Didn't look into the coins I mentioned regarding voting rights ie the stake you talk about.
