This money may be faker than fiat for all we know,

I know, right?! Once one begins to be able to see the lies, one finds there are lies all around. The difference between fiat and crypto though, seems to be the absence of a central bank. No controlling us with tricks. That's starting though.

Thank you for the hsbi. I love the stuff!

Oh yeah, and to be fair, I think crypto is more real than fiat - 100%. I think the issue crpyto (Hive in particular) is having is one of acceptance. I can't spend it anywhere (U.S.) and I can't trade it in any of the popular exchanges, which gives it the appearance of being less real, when really all that's lacking is adoption.

No controlling us with tricks.


HAHAHA I can tell you know you're way around the real world better than most!

You are quite welcome, I am happy to have found you. It's funny, the user base of Hive doesn't seem that expansive, but pretty regularly I'm finding super rad people who have been here as long as or longer than myself and I'm like - how did I go 3 years without seeing you at least once???

Anyway, I'm glad I saw you :)

Because many of us don't openly make posts about it, for fear of those downvotes. Although that does seem to have gotten a bit better, it's still not gone. Control happens here too, as much as they like to tell us it doesn't.

Oh 100%. I originally came here to play flute, then decided I wanted to use my platform to educate the public on so much of what’s going on, then quickly found that I would run myself into the ground doing that, so I went back to flutes and left the heavy lifting for the ones who either have more courage or give less shits than me 🤣

Off the top of my head, I think some good ones are
