And that is their problem. It's one thing that Hive makes the barrier of entry lower. You don't need to invest a cent. But, that's also a double-edged sword, given where the money comes from.

At least with Doge, you'd have to buy in or receive tips from someone who did. Here at Hive, the problems can be at the very top and the extreme bottom, leaving people like us in the middle to feel the impact.

I don't think a platform that cannot cater to the "middle class" can succeed. They are literally the bulk of economic activity.

Being all things to everyone is hard. We've seen what difference Hive/Steem can make to people in places like Venezuela where a few dollars can feed a family. If people have talents to contribute then they should be able to earn, but of course there will be a 'dash for cash' by those just expecting a hand-out for no effort. 

I am not too interested in rich people who want to get richer. Some might class me in that group, but I just consider myself 'comfortable'. I think I'm doing pretty well here really.

I have an interest in people like musicians being able to earn rather than just being exploited by corporations and the economy of Hive could be part of that. We each have our own angle.
