It's important to make sure they can't burn the world then. Limitations on power are necessary to society, because such evil exists. Sun Yuchen sure did a lot of harm, and Steem has been wrecked as a result of the power of large enough stake to act without limitation.

Hive remains vulnerable to the exact same power of large stake. The difference is that a large enough stake existed on Steem, and one hasn't arisen on Hive yet. It also isn't necessary that one account hold that stake, because it can also be a group of accounts that wield that power.

Something needs to mitigate raw money power in Hive governance, and I hope we can find it before people with large stakes start selling out, or dying off, or just changing their minds and becoming less enamored of decentralization. I suggest 1a1v, because society is what Hive is for, society is what is governed, and people are the building blocks of society.

I am not suggesting replacing stake with mob rule. I am suggesting mitigating stake with individual people having some kind of equality of influence on governance. Somehow, mere money needs to be mitigated, and mob rule needs to be avoided. Perhaps somehow the two mechanisms of influencing governance can mitigate each the other so that what happened to Steem can never happen to Hive.
