My post is not about considering whales bullies. My post is about the importance of working together to decentralize decision-making that reflect the will of the many rather than the few.
The bully whale image is a hypothetical situation made as a visual representation of what we can achieve if we work together. If a single user with 1 million Hive Power votes for a self-serving DHF proposal (for example) it only takes 100 hiveans with 10,000 HP to counter that vote.
Large stakeholders are not inherently bad, I'm just pointing out the importance of having stake to make everybody's voice heard.
I agree. Although I will have to say that the will of the many isn't always for the best of all. I've seen this happen in Splinterlands, where there are bot farms that have decimated the economy. A lot of decisions have been made to go around them which ended up hurting the actual players. When a lot of accounts are trying to take advantage of the system, it is the big accounts that can stop them.
Splinterlands is different; Splinterlands is a business run by a team. It's not meant to be run my the many.
The decision to fund the Splinterlands proposal, however, is a decision for the entire HIVE community.
Hive is meant to be run by its community. Anybody who wants to participate, can and should, I might add.
