@ura-soul puts it very succinctly as to what is required for the necessary shift to occur for the present Hive to become the Hive of the future.

Basically, algorithms to make proof of brain and proof of stake on an equal par - need to be written into the code.

Equality needs to be in actuality a key ingredient of the foundation of this blockchain - and not just 'equality' bandied around like a team flag for a novelty investment, while repeating old patterns of accumulation proven noxious.

Any compromise of this or not doing anything at all will cause Hive to digress into exactly the same cycles that we have witnessed in the civilisations of man.

There will be a rise and then there will be fall.

It won't mean we haven't learned anything.

However, it would be nice if this one was the one and we could get it working now and just get on with it. 😀
