I haven't gone into deep research tbh, just let the numbers speak so to say.
No problem with PD, they can do whatever they want or suits them.
But I still wonder how many among those who do so, are at the same time those who "preach" the word that we should onboard the masses.
Ain't gonna happen like that.
Even a Hive price going back to 0.12 cts (for example) will only attract existing Hivers (with balls) to buy back more cheap HP. But at the same time it will scare away newcomers. At least that's what I think.
Yeah, I agree, people can and should do what they like with their stake but it's when they talk the talk about the masses and everybody doing their bit too get folk on but are adversely affecting the price. It is annoying. I am right on board with your thinking here.
