Everything that happens is a result of a derivative. Layer 0 influences what happens on Layer 1 and everything that happens on Layer 2 is directly a result of what happens on Layer 1.

This is about clearly understanding how value flows and where it is derived from. If we implement Layer 1 in ways that mishandle Layer 0... why in the world would we confidently think that BUIDLing out Layer 2 on top of Layer 1 is F&)@$?! going to solve the problems that Layer 1 caused in the first place.

Fundamentally that’s building on top of sand and most users (who can easily compare things to other social solutions current and future) will pound sand when they look the blockchain fully in the face.

This is all about scale and derivatives...

You can’t scale something that’s not working... and thinking you can “normalize” how things aren’t working and then suddenly think that they will work at Layer 2?

It’s deluded.

Right now we need to stop with the group think and get real.

Look at the problems for what they are and ACTUALLY innovate the solutions we need to scale healthy and user friendly community.

If we don’t do this...

We will miss yet another bull run.

If that happens I would say that this is a failure to launch because now you have a situation where people look at the Bitcoin they exchanged for hope in Hive and wonder what would have happened if they just held onto the Bitcoin.

It’s especially painful when these people realize that they traded away that Bitcoin for an abusive social experience and spent a year struggling with minds that weren’t forward thinking enough.

If we can’t retain High Value accounts... soon we won’t have enough bright brains to innovate in the first place.

Then it’s...
