RE: Hive Whales Are Our VCs! .:. Late Night Blogging

The problem with my approach is that people are very negative and skeptical about VCs and that someone "else" PAY for things that are built on/for HIVE...

Not necessarily I would say... and I suspect the problem with the options you brainstormed is about where you draw the line between "control" and "investment". Hive will never allow full control from investment (for profit) in my view. And that's because the security part needs to play first.

If these VCs don't see that they have to play the same trustless procedures any other account would have, then that's where the line is drawn in my view... and to that, my question goes, is that enough for them to still invest?

All the other options work and I have been in some of them... exploring and trying to understand how the community reacts (mostly).

The end value here is, that most of this is built in a decentralized way. As many others built "in centralized" pods... concentrated their efforts on a cause. But that sometimes, if corrupted can destroy everything....

Building in a decentralized less efficient way can have its step back, but becomes ultimately, the powerful movement people are seeing. Some things "in real life" take years... 5 to 10 to make the market change. I know this by profession. So, for me, the hive project is a 10 to 15 year make it happen thing. But the difference is the cost to progress... and on hive vs IRL, is like... peanuts! Only the value will matter (not the coin value, but the application one will)!

Enjoy having a great discussion! Thanks...
