It's difficult to say. If investors simply desire ROI, they can purchase HBD and put it in savings and watch it grow effortlessly.
True.
If investors want INFLUENCE, they could purchase a ton of HIVE and power it up and upvote and downvote to their own pleasure.
Also true.
So....for the ROI types, why not just put HBD in a savings account then? Why put up with all the crustaceans in the Hive bucket?
Also, and not insignificant, is the fact that for every 100 minnows, you might catch a whale. If we are a proof of stake chain, then it needs to be advertised that way, and we need to be gathering the stake holders to invest. (I think this is @sircork's point). It's just a little unclear as to what the goal is...I like to think it's a decent place to play for one and all. I'm still for paid advertising, but as a monetized option, like on YT.
Nailed it.
Why do I have such a SCREAMING headache!
Sometimes a meme image makes me very very curious about it's source.
But that woman does have lovely nails. I wonder who her maniscarist is?
yikes
this should have brought you great comfort, as a man, as it is a satire of women in relationships. I for one, love it.
Way back when I lived in Florida in like 2008, I was hanging out with a platonic female friend, who was a year or two older and wiser than me at the time.
Gets in car with me, she starts driving and ranting, and I propose an obvious solution. she pulled OVER AND STOPPED. Looked at me and said, Cork, this is a teaching moment now, NEVER try to give a woman the answer, even when you are correct, she just wants you to listen.
I refrained from teaching moment her right back with a solution which would have been stop being illogical AF and you won't be mad and on the side of the road right now either,
But so it goes.
hence, "yikes".
The question really should be: DO MINNOWS ACTUALLY HAVE A NET POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE PLATFORM?
The only thing I can think of as a fiscal net positive (aside from DAPP dev) is GROW THE USERBASE AND THEIR DAPPS SO WE CAN ATTRACT INVESTORS IN THE LONG GAME for sponsored ads down the road. If that's our goal, we should whole hog the shit outa that.
But if not, then what are we doing? Should we be helping minnows at all?
