This is an interesting post, which looked like a poll on a single subject at first, but upon further reading it discusses a pretty important topic: our governance model, lookingthe downstream efects of stake based voting. This was closely followed by a discussion of the ever present discussion topic: Do you power-up rewards or spend rewards? I enjoyed your fresh discussion of the various incentives that drive people's behavior. I think it's important to discus and acknowledge these issues intermittantly as a community.
I think I understand the economics of people in survival mode, and I think I understand the conudrum of buying bitcoin versus stacking hive. I think it much of it depends as you say on your longterm goals, and your ability to earn capitol or investment money from other sources to buy bitcoin, at least as one reason or mental framework to view this issue.
I enjoyed your discussion of time value, as I am often trying to adjust my time spent on various endeavers, based on the amount of value they return to me for my time. However this pesky concept of personal enjoyment often throws a wrench into my calculations. Math is simple, but emotions are complicated and they often don't add up.
Have a great Monday!

It's a relatable subject for everyone because it tackles the taboo subject, the elephant in the room if you will. There are large stakeholders that prioritize other holders in their curation decisions, while there exists a userbase that has conflicting interest when it comes to how they treat their content creation and income on Hive that contrasts the interests of the long term holders. I could understand both positions and they each have valid points that can't be dismissed. By virtue of decentralization, we should just leave it up to people to judge how they use what they earn and I think this is the universal agreement to both sides can get behind.
