Thanks for sharing this insightful article. You made many vital points and I think that I find the part that talked about Hive staking on Binance and Crypto.com most valuable. Also, we need to do something fast about downvoting. Since it was created to end the use of bid bots and other large scale abuse, I think it has outlived its relevance as it has become an atomic weapon of warfare on the blockchain, scaring away potential investors.

I hope that the changes you've proposed see the light of the day. Cheers!
