Now, if we could just do that for ISP usage instead of having to go through the local service provider for a connection...

I can't imagine being charged for bandwidth. The competition is too strong and there are blockchain solutions without transaction fees. Any inflationary coin, can reward node-holders without directly charging individual people.
Nobody would mind a low fee for transactions specifically but bandwidth will probably drive people away.

This is a great viewpoint and break down of the value of the networks we are creating overall. This doesn't apply to just Hive, this is basically applying to every aspect of the economy in different ways. Everything takes energy in one form or another and that is all currency is, energy, and it is definitely NOT free! 

I liked this write up that I am reblogging it, which means it will show on the front page of https://coin-logic.com for our audience there to take a look at and will be featuring it in our next update video!

Well said! I'm in favor for 3.0 because we are still in the infancy, many trail and error will have to be conducted for a polished product to take shape.

I think networks are already starting increase the cost of things like RCs. WAX is using a similar system to RCs in HIVE where you stake WAX to get more CPU allocated to you. Overtime it recovers but as the network became far more busier, the amount of CPU allocated to you decreased. As right now, I think I have staked about 50 times what I had 3 weeks ago but I only have around 50% more CPU allocated to me.

Hive needs some major architecture improvements. Hive block producers should have nothing to do with API nodes or hivemind. Hivemind should have its own set of witnesses and rewards, preferably with an SMT. 

Hive should then be just for paying DAO proposals and witnesses who produce hiveblocks, not who run API nodes for hivemind.

This is essentially what I'm doing with https://personal.community (shameless shill) the next up on my to-do list is local storage caching for the data I pull, and eventually add a if cache older then x hours, fetch again. 

I imagine they could write something that uses rc for retrieving data along with that login type verification, encouraging people to run their own hivemind nodes, which I hear is getting low on ram reqs,but not there yet. 

Or even lite nodes, a type of "I'm only fetching data for these people that I follow" building essentially mini side chains or what have you.

There is no such thing as a free lunch...

A good way to put things in perspective. I had never given a lot of thought to this but it makes perfect sense. 

We pay for things but we own them. We created the product instead of being the product.

I see it easy. Dapps will make revenue, for example, games. A part of it can be used to buy hive or rent RCs.

Same for social. Advertisements are an untouched income source for Hive front ends. Or better it's in the alpha version.

Leo shows how revenue shares can work. So I'm sure we see more of a network of owners that can support each other and RCs can be like venture capital for new things to empower them for WEB3. Like, give RC for some Tokens, like miners works on HE.

Long term things will balance in some way. In games and NFTs I see a lot of revenue potential. Next smart contract things with Hive as a native token.

Social things like posting will become cheaper in fact of costs of RCs. But only with Network growth.

We can fairly say, nobody pays 150$ for 15Hive for posting and so on if hive hits 10$. But it doesn't mean the user is not worth the RC to use the platform.

Depending on the models, a balance will happen. And yes everything is in competition with everything. So it is the same as on the Internet. Time and attention are limited. 

In general most is on disk space, it should make it possible to scale "unlimited" from posting/transaction things. More difficult would it be if storage would save other data like videos :)

The end of the day will be "benefit exploring" to existing things. Most benefits I see in gaming/ fintech combined with social.

Hive has no future if that's how you see it's future. Hardly anyone is using it now and you think charging people for basic usage is the future. LOL

Great Post as always, keep it up!
