I understand what are you saying, but what will be the outcome of all this? Going to zero? Will we reach zero? Will people fork? Will fork work out? What about parallel communities like Leo, like SportWach, like Blocktunes, or Splinterlands which have their own tokens and economy? Will the Hive blockchain stop if we reach $0?
BTW my take is to switch to the Hive standard. Where the DHF payout is done on Hive and not HDB and is your best interest for Hive to keep it's market price or keeps growing if you want your project to benefit from it.
