RE: Splinterlands is asking for $500K from Hive Fund (Hive Proposal), "threatens" to leave Hive if their proposal is not funded. Bulldog: "500k is nothing". No-brainer? What do you think?

Hive has to face the reality that while it is technically better, properly decentralised and self sustaining, there are all these cashed up VCs linked to other centralised chains that are offering devs millions to bring attractive DApps to their chain. I met a couple in Tel Aviv a few days ago. @yabapmatt is telling the truth on this.
Hive has the DHF and should use it to compete, at least to retain our flagship project.
Long term all these centralised chains will fail when the external funds run out because they are not self sustaining like Hive. DApps that move onto them will have be be successful enough to not only fund themselves but sustain underlying chains that are much more expensive to run than Hive.
But in the short term we face heavy competition to attract and retain quality DApps like Splinterlands.
This is really a test of whether decentralisation can actually work in a dynamic competitive environment where change is necessary or whether BTC (which does not need to change) is the only valid use case for decentralised blockchain technology.
