We're in the middle of a pandemic, and I am SO TIRED of people talking about the small stakeholders as if we small stakeholders are what is holding Hive back. You think Hive will survive losing all of us and can transition fast enough when most of the COMMUNITY leaves and goes to Steem, Cent, Uptrennd, PublishOx, and others? Go take a look at Blurt and Zapata, Steem forks that don't have the community. Keep talking smack about us smaller content creators and see what is going to happen.

Hive is not even half a year old -- not 4+ years, but five months old. I recognize we are entering a crypto bull run and there is fear that Hive is not positioned to do what other cryptos may do. But hey: Ethereum's gas fees are driving artists here, and art whales will follow who will put money into Hive. Cardano's users, for all the hype around that coin, are just learning how to stake and delegate in this last week. Hive is doing all that while making a difference around the world -- LITERALLY where Cardano would like a way in and is BEHIND us -- without hurting a single small stakeholder.

Did I mention there is a pandemic going on, and removing rewards from content creators would LITERALLY mean that Hive will go from a blessing to a curse AROUND THE WORLD? Talk about your mass adoption PR disaster! Talk about a rebranding of doom! You want to throw content creators over in the middle of a pandemic, and you expect US to accept YOUR IDEAS for how Hive should be remade? This is supposed to be what Hive is going to become?

I was just about to buy some Hive today with some cold hard profits from Bitcoin -- and I DAILY put excellent content here and reinvest it in the ecosystem through Tipu and NFT Showroom.

I just canceled my buy order.
