Let's hope that this can give Hive good results.
I know that price is not everything, but we are doing something wrong as the price of STEEM is very close to the price of HIVE.
I know they don't have a DHF, and maybe the owner of Steem, who is a billionaire, is investing a lot of money to keep the price up, but still, we should be 2X or 3X the price of STEEM as we have been in the past.
It's great that we have a DHF to have funds, but it seems that this is putting a lot of selling pressure and not letting the price go up.
I don't see many of these projects bringing real investors or good results to Hive besides promotion. Even after giving no results, ValuePlan still gives money to these projects.
We continue to lose Market Cap ranking, and the onboarding and retention are not great.
Also, many apps that receive funds don't work properly yet. In my opinion, most of them are paid a lot for what they do.
This is why I'm not supporting Valueplan's and other proposals. But my vote is not needed because this proposal can be approved only with the vote of Blocktrades and a few other whales.
I care about Hive a lot. And we need to start doing things differently if we want different results. We cannot keep spending more than what we receive back.
It's my opinion. Many of you may have a completely different opinion.
Because of all of this, I have quit the Valueplan group, and I would rather not receive any money or participate in Valueplan-related projects until things change.
