RE: Decreasing HBD APR and Posting Rewards and Increasing the Importance of Hive Power (HP)

On the face of it, reducing posting rewards by 10% is a very bad idea for content creators. But if they are on Hive for the long run, and not just here to post, claim rewards, and withdraw off the platform, then it would make little difference to them if they stake their rewards. Currently there are too many people who do not have a long term view of Hive and are only interested in short term gains

Sort:  

I doubt that with such low rewards there will be many left. In fact it is getting harder and harder to adopt because of the low rewards. Most of us are in for the long haul.

I have been here through two bears. There are only 11,000 of us left, and if we did not believe in it, there are plenty of other places for us to be. It makes a difference because everyone does not have the standard of living we enjoy -- that ten percent is the margin of hope in the world, around the world on Hive. It makes a difference because in a world in which web 2 has platforms with two billion users, 11,000 is too few to be throwing ANYONE overboard over a ten percent reduction in rewards!
