I would say we are well past having a reputation as a dead token but we aren’t actually dead yet and have a lot more life that any other token that gets this far into the danger zone.

I was really impressed with @meno’s proposal for Hivesnaps. It seems to be one of the very few that considered first what hive could sustain and not just what the project felt they deserved. It was short and reasonable and the results were fast and impressive.

This is how all proposals should be. As much as I think peakd and ecency deserve to be rewarded for their work and both are somewhat essential for hive, they’ve been receiving funds for years without creating a sustainable business model and they should be focused on that which would bring money into the ecosystem. I don’t think inflation should be supporting these projects forever, and I say that while recognizing their importance.

VSC is out of control. It seems like a nice idea and maybe they can pull it off but the ask is so far beyond what hive can sustain.

The only projects (and there could be others I don’t understand) that I think deserves full sustained support (welfare checks essentially) is keychain because without it we are back to the Stone Age , and I think they should be seeking self sustainability as well.

The ONLY reason I’m still invested in hive is that I know there are a bunch of people who will fight tooth and nail to fix it when it’s broken and people will @meno and others who keep building on it knowing they may not be rewarded. I believe the energy still being put in outweighs the energy being sucked out but posts like this are essential for keeping that true in the future!!

Thank you, as a well know hive project I think your voice will reach further than any individual user account.
