0.000 HBDWhat Does Hive Mean To Me? My 0.02 HIVE.
Greetings #Hivees, this post is a response to the [What Does Hive Mean To Me? Initiative](https://peakd.com/hiveimpact/@theycallmedan/what-does-hive-mean-to-me-initiative) by @theycallmedan. ---  [Meme by @juanc964](https://peakd.com/@juanc964) --- > Q: What "is HIVE/does HIVE mean" to you? Freedom. Liberation. Decentralization. For far too long, the Steem blockchain has been living under the ignorant leadership of Steemit Inc or rather Ned Scott, a company/ceo that initially created the blockchain and in the end, sold it out. Everything the community has built on Steem (which is a lot) was simply used to mark up the price of a deal. It's truly a sad fairy tale of an incompetent leader, taking the work that thousands of people contributed and putting his own name on it. --- . --- So for me, **Hive is what Steem was always supposed to be** It's on us, to make Hive a success. And when it does, there isn't a Ned Scott to fuck it up or to take the credit from us. Hive is decentralization. Hive is liberty. Hive is freedom. Hive is ours. > Q: What do you want to see HIVE evolve into? I want to see Hive evolve into a self-sustaining ecosystem. Hive should be the acronym of a community-fork gone right. A fork that exceeds the main-chain and displays that true decentralization is alive and well. Right now, when you fill out applications to list Hive on exchanges/projects, there is simply no way to fill out the "founder/s" question. **And that's perfect!** ---  --- Hive wasn't created by an entity, it was born into existence by the community. I want to see Hive getting the recognition it deserves, for being a powerful & scalable blockchain, while having an even stronger community & ecosystem behind it. > Q: What do you think about having a large funded DAO for future HIVE development? Good question. On the one hand, I'm a big proponent of the DAO/DAF, as it's a great tool to incentivize development/contributions to Hive. However, there is a discussion to be had whether we want to have an intrinsiquely-based development/contributions by stakeholders; similar to how Bitcoin is developed; and/or increase incentives via the DAF. The DAF, as it's right now, is **huge**. Besides the 450k HBD (that is on-top being filled daily with new HBD from the pool) we also have over 83~ Million HIVE from the airdrop blacklist. Burning it, would remove roughly 25% of the supply. The biggest reason why people didn't contribute as much on Steem, was simply based on the fact that the biggest gainers from improvements were Steemit Inc. So other stakeholders/individuals expected them to do most of the work. However, with Hive, we're all equal now in that sense. So personally, I think we should strive for a middle-ground. --- And that's it. Hope you enjoyed my post on "What Does Hive Mean To Me?".
