"...perfect solutions are impossible on HIVE."

They're just impossible period. However, like any ecosystem, Hive has inbuilt redundancy, and also has a core of superlative mechanisms that enable a variety of durable and rewarding niches to be competed over. Competition allows the most robust of competitors to dominate those niches, over time, and accompanied by the inevitable reduction of diversity of competition. In evolutionary terms Hive is freshly advented, shiny and new, so a lot of non-competitive diversity has yet to succumb.

But there are also systemic weaknesses that threatens the whole ecosystem. The continued maintenance of a majority of stake, while good for those substantial stakeholders, is bad for Hive, and is the flipside of the abysmal user retention Hive suffers. This conjoined twin is a terminal condition on a social media platform and makes this ecosystem unable to compete in the broader landscape. It's price today indicates it is on the verge of complete failure, and absent radical change is not likeliest to persist. Instead of radical change, HF28 just exacerbated the ailment by increasing the facility with which substantially staked accounts can attain ROI, which increases the flow of inflation to the most substantial accounts, increasing centralization, and decreasing incentive drawing in new users and reducing user retention for those already here and not whales.

Hive has a fundamental flaw that causes stake to be more centralized over time, several in fact, but the one I am referring to primarily is that it's a plutocracy in which governance is solely availed to the most substantial stakes. This enables the oligarchy that has arisen in the last decade to implement policies that further enrich the rich, as HF28 did. It's not obvious to me how to change that, and I am convinced if it doesn't change that Hive will not survive.

Cash is only king as long as those besides the king have some. Once the king has all the cash, it becomes valueless because no one else has any to transact with, and necessarily turn to other money.

Thanks!
