Let's assume things go well for crypto from here on out, and in this scenario Hive were to hit $10 and stay there.
Without taking into account the "if I know it stays here I'm going to buy more to sell once it goes up slightly if $10 is guaranteed", or that you're a popular author who can easily earn it back, how much would you keep under your control for the foreseeable future.
I ask this mostly in terms of decentralization and distribution of the token.
We've seen recently the ETF buying up Bitcoin: https://dune.com/hildobby/btc-etfs
So in a scenario where there's whales, institutions, etc, all buying up hive for the attention it can give you, how much of your current stake would you hold for the influence?
I remember back in the day when youtube was merely something regular users posted on, and it became a bit cringe seeing the usual TV personalities enter and be all "subscribe and like" at the end of every video clip. It just felt like this thing that was for people like you and me who had something interesting to share wasn't just for us anymore. Similar to Reddit and the "ask me anything" community started to become popular seeing celebrities join or just make an appearance to shill their latest movie/album/etc. Once there's money to be made they'll appear.
I always wondered how things would play out here on Hive if that were to happen since things work so differently here. Imagine some big studios were to want to promote their artists and buy up a lot of HP or lease it, they could potentially easily take over the trending page that way as well and the regular folks wouldn't stand a chance of hitting it the way they're doing now.
So I guess the question is based off of all that, how much of the stake you own do you think you'd wanna keep forever and there won't be a price that'll get you to sell it off?
