Mate, you have no idea how much I admire your position and how much I enjoyed reading this post. I believe we should do more of what you propose.
I’m not an example for anyone nor do I pretend to be, but I live in Cuba, a country with a broken economy where Hive is one of the ways to buy food. Even so, I never miss a PUD (I love the HiveBuzz badges and the meaning behind them). What I receive from my delegations , I power up and delegate again to those project to continue supporting new hivers. Whenever I can, I do a power up. Why? Because I love everything I do here, and in the future, I would like my account to reach a large number of HP so I can support many more people who are just starting, just as I have been helped.
I hope that if you’re reading my comment and you’re one of those who does a lot of power downs, you reconsider it. If you’re receiving support, the least you can do is return that support and not take money out of the Blockchain.
Mate, I admire you a lot for everything you said in your post
