Totally agree. I think the vested (now HIVE) saved this platform many times. There should be a price to pay for total liquidity, whether that is time (as now), %fee, or reduced posting rewards. If this platform was as popular as some mainstream social media sites, it probably would not be an issue. In its current state, it would be a very fragile state. Even from a financial standpoint to the "little man", this platform exceeds opportunities of major sites like youtube. If you are in it for the fun like me, you still want to see interaction and good posts. If enough Hive is dumped, the content and interaction will go down. A staked token to me seems riskier to me than having to wait weeks if you decide to leave. I guess time will tell.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Maybe part of the "starting point" has to exist at the grassroots level; the level where we are telling our friends and colleagues about Hive. Do we tell them they can come here to "make money" or to "build a stake in a social media platform?"
Ultimately, those two statements describe the same thing, BUT one is get the money and cash out oriented, while the other has a longer term perspective.
Admittedly, I'm here because I enjoy blogging and the whole concept of gamified social media. It's nice to be "rewarded" but I see that part more as a potential very long term "drip savings account" than anything I am currently trading back and forth.
