The question we want to ask ourselves is if we want Hive to be a "different beast" or fall in line with everything else that's out there, mainly drawing its inspiration from Web 2, or even Web 1. If we want it to be more like the others, plus the reward pool, I guess that can be done. If we want a different identity, we need to think how we want Web 3 to look like. A financial layer on top of Web 2? Or something different? Of course, this "different" thing is hard to define, and as many people who would want Web 3 to be more than an upgraded Web 2, as many opinions, probably. Or maybe not even a clear image, just the thought of having something completely different built.

Fair enough... Maybe I do look at things through "web2 eyes"... Maybe web3 isn't as good as it looks like, maybe we need a web4 solution... Many maybes... :)
Something that bothers me a lot about HIVE (and many other cryptos) is that they have the same vision as any other traditional finance company... Its "survival" and profitability are always connected with a "never-ending" growth... Because of that, all of them look like Ponzi schemes... When there is no (user) growth, the chain dies...
I suppose because of that, we were experimenting with Liotes to bring (external) value to it, and to make it more sustainable...
Sorry for the offtopic... lol... In any case, I think it's important to have this kind of discussion as they can always help in creating new ideas...
Thanks for sharing yours!
I agree the vision of never-ending growth seems broken from a point forward. It may work at the beginning or in periods of hype, but not after the projects mature or when sentiment is down.
