What a silly assertion or assumption of my intentions.
Hey you're here for a long time though so I'm baffled by your lack of concern.
Specially when you once made a post questioning the leadership/direction of this chain (in it's past form)...
So my post was no different.
It's openly questioning the leadership/direction controllers of the chain in it's current form now.
In today's environment. Blocktrades at the wheel is just as detrimental as Ned at the wheel all them years back.
Anyway, just like your comment, mine exists also on chain for future reference.
My words may or may not be referenced as important now, but as things unfold that will change.
HIVE must be free from restrictions if it seeks to be relevant in future. Blocktrades only seeks to keep the money going until he has to go fully underground.
Time will determine the play by play but the writing is already on the wall.
HIVE can only be a poor nation dream weaver, that select few westerners exploit.
Kind of sad though that you're still committed as a westerner through time.. but your content contribution kind of got muffled out of relevance now that any one can generate art with Ai.
I've read many of your posts and you are a unique mind. I give credit to that. But your vibe is of someone that feels disgruntled with how things evolved of this Blockchain.
So I do wonder what you see this place offering for you in the future or what you think is of value that you will offer back to the chain... specially since you've confirmed you no longer feel positive to either.
Why still here active then?
Even Threads hype that you contributed to for a while with vigor.. has now died.
Anyway HIVE isn't good for western audience. It's the poor nations only that see and receive value. Blocktrades will continue to extract money but he sure is bummed that he can't take western money anymore.
Ned and Dan got out on highs without needing to devote all their time.
Who from the 'good old days' still remains is an interest thought experiment.
I was just giving you some sarcasm. See how you changed your tone? Works like a charm.
It's funny. I was just reading that old thing today. Totally forgot about it until after I dug up an old post trying to find the source of some art.
I wasn't expecting ads to show up on Threads. That just happened today. Might change my mind; still under development and things change, but I'm not in control of those changes. There are several products on this chain I don't use. Personal preference. Doesn't mean the world is ending. You basically read some of my recent comments, then tried to spin everything around on me, as if I should be in some kind of panic. Looking at your comments, it's the same script, same attitude, nonstop panic.
I'm able to adjust on the fly. I think what's happening here isn't exclusive to one dude's business. Crypto has always had peaks and valleys. I don't cheer at the top and fear at the bottom.
That example you offered. You can see I had a lot of questions there, not conclusions, and my gut was telling something, and I was right to be concerned that day, because time tells us, he was totally full of shit. But I'm still here; he's not. Options were few and far between back then. I've had plenty of concerns over the years, like anyone. You lean more to that doom and gloom stuff with a dash of intellectual laziness. We'll probably clash if we try to have a conversation.
At this point I'm not interested in heavily critiquing LEO's approach. The ads and branding do make me cringe but that's personal preference. No fault of theirs. Looks like they got their technical difficulties sorted for now. I expect hiccups like that. In general I have one foot in the door, one foot out. Wasn't my scene to begin with. Some good people hanging out though; I enjoy entertaining people.
As for other platforms, I made a personal commitment years ago to keep this brand exclusive to this platform/market. Won't budge on that one. Not a franchise that needs to be on every corner overexposed to the elements and micromanaging my life to death. Not my style. Being underground is cool.
As for reshaping yourself, yes, I suggest you do that. Nothing wrong with being a decent human. You'll be the one who benefits most from it.
