The debate about the base layer is an interesting one.

My views are this: HIVE should be distributed as rewards. This should not change. The reason is that HP applies to proposal and witness voting and reward distribution is how we spread it out.

As for the type of chain/ecosystem this becomes, I think we can see it will go in whatever direction people feel. There are a lot of projects pulling it every which way, something that is great.

There are social media tools such as those I mentioned in the post along with others. That doesnt go away. Personally, I feel that gaming is a bigger opportunity for the market but to social media aspect is not going to disappear.

No reason both cannot be pursued by different players. It ultimately will come down to what is built on Hive, the layer 2 DApps which will steer it.

And Dan is correct: there is not enough HIVE out there (or will there ever be) to scale to tens of millions of users. Thus more tokens will certainly be needed.

I hope that makes sense, I kinda just threw the ideas together.
