No, it's not really my choice, but it is the best choice for the vast majority of Hive users.
Over time everything evolves and with it the economy, and the responses are to adapt or resist. Today, the new currency is called attention, and it is what moves the world, not fiat or alt coins. The vast majority of Hive users come because they are interested in earning a few HBD quickly (it called their attention), and in exchange for this they sacrifice the benefits that they would obtain on their own blogs in the future. Can they be considered looters or extractors? No, because they contribute hundreds of thousands of times more value to Hive, by directing attention to Hive as long as that content continues to appear on the Internet, than those who prefer to profit from Hive through greed simply by accumulating Hive Power .
Hive must learn how to profit from that attention....
