Not sure when this happened but the return proposal is now at 61M HP, up from the 35M where it was just recently. The only project that is getting funding now is Ecency with a proposal that will end in 27 days.
Even the hbdstabilizer is not being funded now. If you wonder how the return proposal increased so much it's becouse of blocktrades who is now voting it.
We can debate long and hard, but a lot of projects on Hive just need to step up with their HP holdings and make the system more decentralized. Blocktrades has been staking throughout all these years, never selling, buying millions and here we are. If more users and projects were doing the same we would have a bit more even playing ground.l
