I suppose we can just trust human nature to continue to be what it is, and in the meantime actively create a system of autonomous self governance. That being said, Hive may not be the final evolution of this community, but it is a step in the right direction.
It is unrealistic to expect whales to be altruistic all the time. The rest of the users must hold the major stakeholders accountable by taking on more individual responsibility.
This blockchain and its evolution is a grand experiment in human nature and self governance. This is one thing that thrills me about being involved.
It's an amazing experiment.
