RE: What are the biggest problems on Hive?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The main problem with Hive is that 37 accounts control over 50% of all hive.
This makes people understand that just a few people really control the system. Any of those accounts could crash Hive quickly. This leads a lot of people to not want to put too many eggs in one basket.

It's true that the concentration of Hive power in a few accounts can be seen as a problem. It can create a sense of centralization in what is supposed to be a decentralized platform. But do you really believe it is in the interest of these few powerful stakeholders to crash Hive? The most important thing is not how many whales there are but how committed they are to Hive.
What I don't understand is the reaction of some of these peoples at the top that believe that the reward pool is too big for the user base. They prefer to upvote 10 times a comment from hbd.funder rather than upvote the content creators. In my opinion this makes just sure that they stay at the top of the pyramide. I'm not sure that this is for the good of the chain. We lament that not more people come to hive but taking such a big part of the reward pool away is ceraintly not helping to make Hive more attractive.
I agree that it is not in their interest to hurt Hive. But life happens and some things out of their control such as divorce or death can have unintended consequences.
I also see that as a major problem. Especially when some of these people decide that the reward pool is too big for the user base and act accordingly.
