I see it evolving, but in a different way. In the early days you had Hive Whales and tiny apps and users. Picture a hub and tiny outposts.

Now the apps are maturing and the communities and what Hive does means less and less as long as they do what they are really good at. Keep the blockchain secure and running. They are fantastic at it, and when there is a bump they fix it.

We've had the same core group of whales since the beginning basically 6 years now, sometimes there are a few changes but for the most part we know who they are and what they do.

There IS a power shift happening though, as the apps and app loyalty begin to outweigh the core group. Watch it for a bit and you'll see it. Now picture that HUB again, only now there are way more outposts and some of them control more assets, not Hive, but other assets, resources and all the options that brings. Soon the Hubs outweigh the core.
