It's a short read don't worry.
It's hard to ignore the currently biggest move yet, on the Hive Blockchain.
Folks in the crowd are pointing out how this illustrated stake power is centralized to just a very few. I think this further illustrates how much of an importance it is to have more people stake up. However, this is not the main point of this post but certainly something to keep in mind.
Does raising the bar for dhf approval raises the expectancy of accountability for those making proposals?
That's the question I have in mind.
It was thanks to reading one of 
It is no secret that the leaders of
How they planned on doing that was through buying not one, not two, but three rally cars, a bicycle who's maintenance is so expensive it had to come from the future, thousands of funds unaccounted for from lack of invoices and reciepts, and when asked about how these funds are being truthful being used all we got was a rude: "Stop bugging and just trust us bro."
If only they would have complied with common sense and reason they wouldn't be getting flak for it. Not the type of accountability one would expect for using community funds. Show the public how you are using public funds. Show transparency and regain the trust.
But like everyone knows, once trust is lost it is harder to gain back.
Here's an article about why accountability is important if you still want to blindly believe
40+ reasons why accountability is important
In other related news to the changes of the bar, other projects that have shows accountability and positive returns for hive such as Hivesñ's little woodpeckers are thrown under the wheels as well due to this big move by blocktrades. The HBD stabilizer, Hives keychain and others are but a few that seem important to me to have above the bar.
I hope that these changes are positive to give infrastructure of hive and

I would like to be able to see a down vote option for each proposal and curious to see how that would function in the long run, but with hive stake concentration being centralized to a few accounts is a rise for serious concerns. I would like to see hive move away from plutocracy and move towards decentralization but to do that, you dear reader need to stake more hive.

Let this be a reminder that privacy and self security checks in these crypto arena is of utmost importance. You're your own bank now. It's your responsibility to keep your keys safe. Lack practice of this responsibility is asking for trouble.
Some learn this right away while others learn it the hard way. Don't let the latter option be you.
Change your keys every now and then, make sure your recovery account is still around, keep your keys offline, use keychain or whale vault services for example, write your keys down and store in a extremely secure space away from possible fire exposure and paper decay, or if you have it in a USB, protect it the same and add a faraday cage to it and protect it from emp. Whatever it takes.
Though these things to happen, it is not to discourage people from trying a crypto wallet as banks are far worse in maintaining your $$$ secure. Remember, what you give to the bank becomes no longer yours by law and their policy.
Be your own bank instead.
