I would definitely like to read more on this.
About the whales. Tell me what whale would be interested in investing in a coin that has a lot of outflows, but no inflows.
If dapps and frontends had a business model that generated value for the coin we would be flying, but there's no need or demand for this. As a community we should demand that the dapps have a revenue model that benefits the ecosystem.
I mean I think we only have like two successful dapps (inleo and spl) and spl definitely was one reason Hive made its ATH in the range that it did (thousands of accounts that the team had to buy with Hive). We need a couple more like that and it's definitely going to transfer back into the value of Hive.
For the link I think I should dm you. Discord?
