RE: As a whale, why are you not funding any idea on Hive?

We probably agree with the analysis more than I thought at the beginning. I reacted at the sweeping assertion that there is "no economic infrastructure" and "no value feeding".

I reflected and wrote extensively about this since back in Steemit times
