I agree, if you dont know where the yield is coming from, you are the yield. The only thing to stop the Hive death spiral would be to stop the HBD interest and burn the DAO funds being given out to insiders. Hive needs NGU to survive.
At least stay somewhat stable and stop dropping. I am one of those that number go up doesn't mean much anymore when you are comparing it with a currency that is continuously losing value like the dollar. But that's a whole other argument.
I COMPLETELY AGREE with the burning of the DHF because it is not helping anyone but those that are already reaping the block rewards by being top 20 witnesses. The DHF has done more harm to the ecosystem than good, that is for sure.
