I think small amounts will always be easy to come by, especially with RC pools then. It should mostly motivate the applications to get rather large RC quantities to run their services.

You have a point. I could invest my inheritance into this, but that won't happen.

However in theory, I would own so much Hive, with my extreme view points on personal responsibility would definitely rub off the wrong way on a lot of new users who don't understand how to use HP or RC.

Not saying I would, but if I wanted to be a technocrat elitist and buy 50 of the Hive on Bittrex it would likely piss people off.

i don't understand it fully (so i don't know how expensive could it become) but the main difference is that you still own that hive. maybe in some future you would need to invest 50$ to transact, but that is one time investment.
