Shouldn't all this development add to a higher price mitigating the need to suck up as much as possible from the newb attracting pool?
I think it is heading that way and will continue to do so. The new users are more likely to be attracted in on layer two than one - but layer one needs to have people willing to stake or hold significant amounts. Many creators don't care about owning, they care about getting paid - which means selling.
With everything recorded on a blockchain it shouldn't be too hard to stop voting rewards to dumpers that haven't reached a minimum, if we were to want to do that.
This has to be done by the community if they choose, not the code.
Yes, the crab bucket is supposed to function this way.
People that are suppressing the price shouldn't be getting voted rewards, imo.
Saving half of what we give them benefits everybody.
If you look at the voting behaviour of tribesteemup, then where it is powering down and transferring to, and what it is being spent on - it is pretty clear what Kenny is in it for - not even with his own stake.
I'm aware, he thinks he has been treated shabbily, I'm hoping he will come back into the fold.
No doubt he would be a powerhouse by now, if he had held.
He is one of those types that will never hold for the benefit of anyone but himself. Many on Hive like that, especially from 2016 - they use it as a way to finance their personal holdings only.
Well, crab bucket is the design.
Dumping harms us all.
Centralizing stake to those that have the most doesn't help, either.
We need more organizing it looks like.
With less than 6k daily authors it shouldn't be too hard for folks with broad audiences.
Maybe two weeks to flatten the curve will work here, too?
Or, one week a month where only 100% powerup posts get curated.
We create the cultural norms here.
