Well said. The truth is that DPoS is just the Golden Rule. Them that have the gold rule. It's pure plutocracy, and the DHF is being looted before the cow dies, as you point out. That's why no DHF proposal has ever been required to use GAAP (generally accepted accounting procedures), the simple double entry bookkeeping that has been the standard of accounting since commerce was invented in Sumer, so simple my kids used it running a lemonade stand when they were 10.
Hive is a trap baited with author rewards, but looted by curation rewards instead.
Thanks!
