The thing about the DHF -- there's something called the Return Proposal. A lot of Hivers have voted that way up on HP, and no project can get funded until it exceeds the amount of HP on the Return Proposal. This I think has happened because the DHF is pushing the Hive inflation, but a lot of projects are not presenting results to the community such that we can know why we should allow said projects to get funding and -- guess what -- push the price down through inflation. There was this article by @dalz that showed that although it is common among some to blame content creators for the inflation, it is actually Hive's own mechanisms that are causing this: @dalz/what-is-causing-the-additional-hive-inflation-in-the-last-months-where-does-it-comes-from
The HBD stabilizer sells the most Hive, and the DHF spends the most HBD, much of which has to be converted to Hive for sale ... so there we have that. We need HBD to stay stable around $1, so then the only other thing to do is look carefully at how we spend on projects, and I think that is why the Return Proposal is up so high right now. So, a new proposal needs to have somewhat over 36 million HP voted up on it to pass. Something for both you and @macchiata to think about when you consider working with existing proposals or beginning your own.
