I agree, and the great part about HIVE. It was more to illustrate the different approaches or models people have of this network.
As long as the system is at least in equilibrium I think we are in good shape - where the value coming in or being created exceeds the value that is being extracted. That we are sustainable.
I like the idea that 20 years from now someone might stumble across one of my stories here and enjoy it. Assuming anyone can still read and everyone isn't jacked into some neurally inducted dystopian fantasy world...
I want HIVE to persist.
