Hey Dan!
Having given your post a read through I’m going to weigh in. (Because I liked your arm wrestling picture! That was cool!)
I honestly don’t think your idea is a good one. Everyone who has invested into the Hive Blockchain knows why we are all here. The content! And the community that comes from that content! This is how the golden goose lays the golden eggs.
If there is no incentive to curate that content then their will be a diminishing reason to spend the time and effort generating that content... and that means weaker community as the byproduct of this course of action (or lack thereof).
Curation and content creation are virtuous. Incentivizing both means that you have a sustainable reason to continue to use this blockchain.
When we power up we are investing (not just in ourselves) but we are investing in the community. As investors we rise and fall depending on the health of the network as a whole.
Trust a Metcalfe (Metcalfe’s Law) when I say that both content curation and content creation matter. One without the other means a system failure and that means the failure of the community (most importantly) and the failure of our invested capital.
