Great post! Agree completely. I think a lot of it comes down to two questions anyone can ask themselves:

  1. What is your "earning" timeframe expectation is this ecosystem? Is it short-term or long-term?
  2. Do you consider getting crypto tokens as "earning" or is it only "earning" once you've converted that crypto to fiat?

Some folks have a very short timeframe, see "play2earn" and think, okay "how do I (me only) make as much fiat wealth off the game, as fast as possible?" That doesnt make them a bad person, but it does make them a drain on all the rest of us.

Other folks have a long term timeframe, see "play2earn" as a way to build crypto wealth together as a community over time and maybe, eventually, unwind some of it into fiat, if necessary. It doesn't make them a good person, but it does make them an asset for all the rest of us.

Which do you want to be viewed as? An asset or drain?

Exactly - and the beauty of it... no one expects people to Min/Max this lol

You Powered Down some of your Rewards?? You're not Powering Up 100%??????

GET OUT.

No one wants that... no one expects that... but if someone is doing the opposite... it is up to us, the Community, to positively encourage them to slightly alter that behavior and encourage them to change.

IMO the best way to do this is provide examples of WHY they should change and keep some Powered Up...

What benefit do they receive for doing this... I am betting none of them realize that they could be putting aside 10% or 20% and then after a year or two, when they have 10,000HP... their votes are worth ~ $.25 each! Maybe they hit 40k Hive Power and their votes are ~ $1.00 each holy cow!

In this manner, there is no "shaming"... there is no "punishment"... only education and encouragement.

THAT... is how Communities are built.

Agreed + the way you said it is better 😅 - thanks for posting about this stuff. It's a sensitive topic that can be difficult to approach. You're doing a great job at building consensus because ACTUALLY, reading these comments, it doesn't even sound like anyone is that far apart on the issue.

Everyone ultimately wants HIVE to succeed. That part is clear 💪
