Imho, and not being a big shareholder to give any opinion... Markythemark released some data showing that spl onboarded a few % of hive accs (and I won't even get into the topic of real people or bots), while that is the project which takes the most payout on DHF, also one the projects that makes the most transactions to block process... Is tough to measure pros and cons here, not saying we should also take isolated data to back any argue... I think it's ok for spl to abstain on votes... But let's say, probably a lot more of market cap also went to Hive and others tokens through splinterlands than the average hive acc, since it's a game that demands some high capital than most... I myself convert spl stuff into other hive stuffs...
So, I really dunno... It's a good questioning. So the main debate is, is spl contributing for hive growth or it's taking out of hive more than it's contribution? And there is a way to balance it so both parts stays happy? There is always a yes option, I see Matt supporting all new projects and diverses stuffs... Since some of current and previous spl devs and owners were also the ones that made hive engine and keychain...
The main argument as presented to me was that we were using our HIVE governance influence without consensus from the DAO and that people didn't even understand what the previous proposal meant. So I wrote this post to hopefully ensure that the DAO can make an informed decision. If the DAO wants to continue as is, we will. If the DAO wants to stop having the company manage our HIVE governance influence we can do that too. I just want to make sure everyone understands what's going on.
Yeah, I get it... I'm just anticipating some hive talk over it... Well, blocktrades said he already spent more than DHF on hive development, which makes it looking not that high in terms of what is needed... Anyway, this won't take out the topic of what is a contribution or not for growth, it's not only about nominal values going here or there but finalities, causes/effects...
Just giving some opinion, maybe there is some onboard option at China stuffs, or even Singapore... I honestly don't get how everywhere I search the same games are listed as bests in web3, included splinterlands between the top... Its weird since it looks stagnant in terms of people joining since uaw remains similar. I mean, I'd need to check again, but I guess so...
