I reckon Hive enabling anyone with stake to tax anyone else is a primary reason for Hive's failure to moon. DV's are taxes. Can you imagine if anyone could tax anyone else IRL? No one could get any business done if Ford could slap a 100% tax on Toyota, and we've seen how that plays out on Hive and it's precursor.

Thats an old, proven technique to kick unwanted users out of Hive. This is not the first time we see this and it will not be the last time. The question how to deal with it remains open.
