I see, as with any stream of consciousness, hive has more below the surface than above.
Not out of any malice, that I have detected, but because chasing down the facts is sooo difficult.
I'd bet that our moles actively working to sabotage undetected are covering their tracks well, there has been no shortage of folks looking.
We ran off ned over his kneecappening and two year walkabout, we haven't run off those enabled by him to harm us.
I'd be surprised to learn that he still doesn't have a sizable chunk of hive.
I don't think anybody has been able to out freedom, and maybe a couple others, I would look into accounts with worthwhile amounts of hive, but not really active much that delegate out their hive power.
It would be a clue if they didn't vote witnesses during the fork to hive.
.
A high percentage of the people that have been here long enough to have witnessed what happened are pretty insular and are not looking to make new old friends.
Especially when their power base is threatened.
We've got a pretty good crop of users, just some rough edges to smooth off a few of them.
They will get my respect when they institute a 1000mv voting limit.
Until then, they are just greedy control freak bastards to me.
I hope you take up the poor tax, too.
I still haven't heard it mentioned in the developer meetings.

The poor tax reduced the value of every stakeholders stake along an exponential curve the farther from 160k hp the account was.
Up to 49.999%.
This has an outsized impact on who gets rewards here.
And, not far from par for the course long term, either.
This isn't the first time that the reality was different than the sales pitch.
You have finally made a good decision @gank. Now it is time to make another one! You promised to expose me as having hundreds, if not thousands of accounts. You have never come thru with any proof of that.
As a small Hive player, you have insulted, slandered, and libeled me. On numerous occasions.
I see that you have now Powered Down 90% of your Hive. I can only assume that you are getting ready to cut and run; trying to reduce your liability for fucking the whole Hive community.
Since you have lost our bet from the get go; I am expecting no less than 532 Hive as your reparation. There is no way you are Man enough to pay me your total Hive account; as I originally challenged you.
Since you now have hundreds of accounts that are calling you to task; please compensate one of the first community members that you wronged.
You have espoused Leadership, Truth, Transparency, and the value of your Research. All of which have proved to be wrong in my case.
Do the right thing, fold your hand, admit you were wrong, apologize, and compensate me for your Slander & Libel. Then you can cash out and just go away.

Did you get into the club, or what?
I am not a part of any club.....if the powers that be want to push me away because they want to maintain the status quo, then it is what it is.
I never thought this conversation would turn into a contentious, shit talking battle. I thought Hive was something different then it is, and ultimately that is on me.
I really am genetically coded to build, not destroy.....when I realized that the conversation had no chance of progressing, or of building anything meaningful from it, I have to let it go or I will be lost as a person.....as love and growth and connecting are really the only currencies that motivate me. Destroying something, or trying to emotionally hurt someone, is a toll to the mind and body that I really try to avoid at all costs, save a few exceptions, as I see no overall value to the World with it.
I will continue to try to create the World I want to live in......and with lessons learned from this historically unique situation, I will try to focus almost all of my energy on building and virtually no effort in convincing anyone else in what I am trying to accomplish.....I will just lead by example.
Hive is a crab bucket, if escape is your thing, good luck.
I'd rather see the hive bucket work at distributing the coin to more hands, but you got to do what you do.
