I have also read the taskmaster post, and it is nice to know that we at least have some breathing room when it comes to scaling. As for the CEX, I think it is a necessary evil. I'm glad people are working on it, but I hope we take care to protect ourselves.
If they wanted to list us we couldn't stop them... 😆 We drew some conclusions and made some changes after what happened on st**m, other than that, it's a matter of what the market/stakeholders want. I don't think we are comfortable with most of our liquid HIVE being on Upbit, for example.
I guess that's true. Although I would have wanted them to list us on their own volition instead of the other way around. I am just basing this off of what happened in SPL where we are paying for MM, and not much is really happening. I do agree that we don't want Upbit to have most of our Hive.
The price action on SPS doesn't encourage buyers, and without a market maker, some listings on smaller exchanges would have almost no liquidity and trading volume.
I wouldn't like it even if Upbit was an open exchange, but this way is even more problematic.
