Having just read the entire last 92 comments, I want to thank the whales/devs for their attempt to keep the Hive blockchain stable and decentralized. I also feel Kenny deserves a huge thanks for his sincere effort in research, as well as his concern for the wellbeing of Hive and we Hivers.
Decentralization is the goal as well as stabilization. The massive stats and numbers mentioned by Kenny are a concern to me. They look like the whales have too much power in their ability to game the system.
I know human nature is flawed and greed is in all of us sometimes. But the ethos of any great blockchain should be free speech and decentralized power. Already this system invented by Dan Larimer of 20 top witnesses is too centralized in my opinion. That's why EOS is not for me either.
Besides the centralization here on Hive, I am concerned about the business of some to downvote anti-govt info and posts like those on informationwar etc. When the govts and elite of the world are now systematically committing crimes against humanity, we need a platform for free speech and an alternative viewpoint. Or are we another Twitter/FB sell-out like every other MSM?
Hive has loads of potential and has benefitted me and others greatly, so full respect. I am a novice in tech and finance so have no solutions or place to critique the logic, but I want to see more decentralization and more human right to free speech without risk of mainstream lies being promoted and true whistleblowing shamed. I am, after all, also Julian.
