The dopamine feeding frenzy currently going onwith the token price rise is sight to behold.

Not a nice sight , but a sight nonetheless.
....oh, and  P.S....
....and any negative emotions that you feel towards me after reading the opening of this post, are feelings that reside in you....I've just been the annoying person that reminds you of them.
I'm happy that you're so high - it's a nice feeling.
I'm _always happy_ for  someone when they score good grade narcotics - and the hive price hike  looks like it's some seriously good quality shit.
Enjoy!.

***Some advice...***

#### Don't bring yourself down, by reading the rest of my post under the next piccy - it's a reality piece. 
_(you ***can*** still upvote it and pretend to have read it though - to both spread the wealth _and_ assuage yourself of any feelings of guilt )_.

#### Market price.
What _is_ market price?

Market price refers to the price at which the exchange of goods takes place. It is determined purely by demand and supply, which means that the amount the buyer is willing to pay must be exactly equal to what the seller is willing to accept.


The market price mechanism cannot function correctly within a system that does not have sound money.
Inflation is not sound money.

Ergo there can _be_ no market price.
There is no way to ascertain what it _is_,   without sound money playing role.

DPOS doesn not facilitate , or even try to mirror - any notion of 'value'.
'Value' is a subjective quality, one that's  reflected in the price (sound money)/supply/demand,  equation.

#### QUESTION:
##### How do we find 'market price',  in market that doesn't exist?

ANSWER:
You can't.

You ***can*** change the market place structure, so as  to make it an environment where market price ***can*** be established - that's a relatively easy process , _if there 's will to do such a thing_.


If there is _no will_ to do so (by the powers that be that own the ecosystem _and_ the faux market) , it's very doubtful that it's long term survival is possible.
Because _when_ (not 'if') a free market emerges where  market price mechanisms are put in place - even in an inflationary, non sound money environment -  the old models will simply... _cease_...

Now, the REAL question is...(based on an assumption that we want Hive to thrive)
HOW do we incentivize those that decide the market structure, to change the said structure?

The answer is in the question.
Incentives.
Incentives make the world go round. In theory. 
(it also requires a healthy market).


HOW you incentivize 'the powers that be' to change their structures, if it holds no incentive to do so. 
If they  are too shortsighted (incapable, no less)  of being _able_ to see the big picture, (a 'talent' of the midwit) then trying to paint the picture for them to see, is a fools errand.
It's akin to Leonardo Da Vinci  producing the Mona Lisa for a blind man to appreciate....

No, there _has_ to be another way....
(I'm now, metaphorically, tapping my fingers on the table, to add to the suspense...)

Well.... yes!........ There is another way!


Wouldn't it be just a great idea if someone - or _someones_ with an eye for quality and a desire to see free markets, showed the best 5 - and the worst 5 posts, in a post all of there very own?
('best' and 'worst' being the quality of the post relative to the inflationary rewards donated to it).

Of course, this would only be a _subjective_ review.
But imagine if this person who made the reviews then posted his piece online to  5 or 6 different other social media sites, and asked for feed back from  _them_ , concerning the quality of the posts and the donations given.

Would _that_ help to incentivize those who value peer approval to change their ways?
No one likes to be shown up as a moron. Especially the insecure and those of  weak ego's.

Having your name connected to an upvoted post  of tens of dollars  towards a piece of garbage would reflect _very badly_ on those doing the upvoting....wouldn't it?
(when the post clearly shows  itself to be of  low IQ or boring and as uninformative  as fuck) .

And that's not even _including_  the overall perception from the outside world that people would have.
How would they view that small ecosystem which _enacts_ these twisted economic models?

That would make 'the powers that be' look like total morons, would it not?
They'd become a  laughing stock over time. (never mind token price).

Now...who could we find that would do that thankless job? (for $20 a day).
Mmmmm...I wonder.

Obviously it's not a job any midwit could do,(bless) so they're not in the running...

I wonder who'd _do that_ ?....
MMmmmm......

Incentives come in all shape and sizes, and while many people think it's the token hike that's giving you that rush - it's not.
It's the dopamine addiction, stupid.
Enjoy!

(pro tip: If your're feeling guilty for enjoying the dopamine hit - even slightly - then you have _much bigger issues that need addressing_. 
Ones that cannot be addressed while under the influence of dopamine...)

P.P.S.
@leofinance ...I _wanted_ to post this in @leofinance, but your web 3.0 seems to have met it's match with those pesky old fashioned jpegs - as it won't acknowledge their existence (for three days, now).
