Even worse HW gets paid outta DHF. This place is not gonna be a success. Sad truth.
That depends on how you define success. From the perspective of the OG whales that have maintained capture of >90% of the inflation from the rewards pool since Steem advented, I see that Hive is very much a success, and has been all along. Because you and I are not part of that cabal, our definition of success varies significantly from theirs, and requires growth, engagement, rising token price, and much more. For the OG whales, those are failure, because all of them would attract outside interest in the platform and there are many investors to whom Hive's market cap is lunch money, as Sun Yuchen demonstrated with Steem, and were such stake attracted to Hive the cabal presently capturing most of the financial rewards, as well as mining the DHF, would be unable to keep control of the platform and would lose their golden goose.
Ok ok. Still I think without core average users. The fame big fish play is more obvious without these average smaller users no? Why why?
You're absolutely right. Without the community there's no market for the tokens. That ends the scam, and off they will go to the next one. They can only profit by selling the tokens, and without the community there's no market. They try to balance the fine line between total collapse and growth, to keep everything just at the most profitable level, while they mine the DHF for the $M's their stake enables them to take. When that's gone, I think they'll dump their stakes and leave. We'll see in a few years at this rate of depletion of the DHF.
Cash is king. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. As long as they maintain their lock on inflation, they win. There's no predicting what would happen if they mess with their proven successful formule, as Sun Yuchen demonstrated. Of course, that was caused by their iron fisted lock on rewards, which is why Ned bailed.
So, there's that. Sooner or later the ride ends. If you love something, keep it locked in the cellar for as long as possible, and when it escapes try to catch it before it gets away.
That seems to be the philosophy operant.
Why do this account does this? It’s like they want Hive to fail and push good users off platform? Very strange.
There are different kinds of people. Light triad people feel empathy, want to live in high trust societies, and are kind to children and puppies. Dark triad people are narcissists, are absolutely certain they are the best of the best, and cannot be wrong; are psychopaths and do not have a conscience, don't feel bad about doing bad things to the objects in their environment - like other people; and Machiavellian, ambitious and conceive of schemes to deceive and take what they want.
We naturally project how we see the world into the people we interact with. That's why good people are so gullible, forgiving, and can be defrauded multiple times, in some cases. I had to learn the hard way to listen to people carefully, so that I could hear and understand when they told me who they are, and then I had to learn to believe them, and I did that the hard way, by believing people that had lied to me and then said they'd never do it again. Once someone lies to you, never believe anything they ever say again. Everybody isn't like us. We can't expect them to be. We have to watch them, observe their actions, and then when we see that they have done this or that, we have to make our best judgement as to why they did that - not why we'd have done that.
This account does it for the money. They believe that being paid to do a thing justifies doing the thing. They don't see themselves in the same way you see yourself, so what you see as insuperable avarice they consider their superiority to lesser beings that only exist so they can get stuff they want from them. At least, that's how it appears to me.
