Yeah, I get where the controversy is coming from as it is extracting a lot and creating a lot of sell pressure, which seems to be lowering the price. We obviously need these projects to get funded, but also need these projects to bring in money and hopefully become self sustaining.
I think funding things like businesses, would be a way to actually bring money into Hive.
At this point, I think marketing Hive isn't a good idea, because if more people come here, there will be more extracting happening, which will lower the price of Hive further.
What we need is a way to monotize what we build, and if we can't we need to fund stuff that can be monotized that can offset the sell pressure and help afford the projects that require funding.
