The concept is a very good indication of people's confidence in Hive and how committed they are to build their account in the long run. Others have mentioned before that it doesn't take into account of liquid Hive and HBD, beneficiary rewards, L2 tokens or other Hive related assets. All these are still invested on Hive.
The KE is one of the many criteria I have used for Apis Hive, and there has been users who have proactively changed their behaviour to improve their KE. It works.
I have an idea, and hope @azircon sees it. We know how much Hive Power is in existence on chain at any point. Lots of other crypto projects have "big numbers" in what is Total Value Locked. Typically for liquidity pools, but do we ever use that as a marketing point for HIVE?
Sure, the "tvl" changes every day as people power up, down, claim rewards and do what they do, but it would be an interesting metric to publish to show overall confidence in our platform as a collective.
There would also be a great exercise in "quartiles" ie, which quartile is someone in for their rep - eg high rep, high ke, or low rep, low ke, or middling for both.
It is relatively easy to do :)
Not a bad idea either.
I have analyzed more than 8000 account. There is no statistically significant evidence that any users with abnormally high KE are holding a lot of HBD and still generating quality content.
Regarding L2 tokens that are blogging based, almost all are worthless shitcoins. So they do not add any meaningful value to the ecosystem. They are mostly net negative to hive. Otherwise you would be rich in lassecash! :)
Yes, I saw your presentation :) Seems like a small group of good people were present there and they were patient on you :)
I am so glad that people more than me recognise how pointless the various side chains and community tokens are. One, they have no real utility beyond memes; and they add pointless transactions to the chain.
Probably the same reason facebook got rid of pokes.
Yes. Without real utility tokens are pointless and net negative.
🤔
I am joking, that is what you said in the post and during your talk :)
