HOWEVER, I do fear that Hive in terms of the DAO is becoming an 'extractive institution' - rather than an inclusive one - and the former is why nations fail!
Proof of stake offeres a wonderful solution to that: power up. The more HIVE that those who are not in the inner circle have, the more their influence grows. This is a point that most do not seem to focus upon.
Of course, does the rest of the community have the resources to achieve that end? Perhaps not right now. That said, if we are able to generate other wealth centers on Hive, then the resources will be there to add millions of HP to individual accounts. Collectively, this will make a big difference in what takes place on the DAO.

Yes fair point, I'd like to see more of a trend towards middle tier accounts growing, I think we're getting there, just very slowly!
I found the netuoso case quite interesting - but wasn't it just blocktrades unvoting him that pushed him below the threshold in the end!
Not quite there yet!
