Blocktrades knew about Tron's interest in Steemit way before anyone. The announcement only caught non Bitshares witnesses by surprise. But of course Blocktrades crime syndicate offered a solution, stroking the passion of users.
Get familiar with RICO.
Those other developers are ♟and 🐑. They just follow the the promisor of enrichment. Your precious DHF is printing an absurd amount of HBD for the little value it never brought to the network. What % again?
Then you got guys like @edicted offering solutions not realizing his staked hive serves as a liquidity pool, for dumping witnesses that also dump HBD conversions.
Excuse me if I rather ride with the overtly instead of covertly centralized entity working on closing the loopholes. Excuse me if I don't want to be a retail sucker.
Like I said wordplay is going to destroy a lot of people when they refute the totality of the circumstances. dEcEnTRaLiZaTiON.
The worst thing I believe is that they want Hive to grow not because it'd be cool, but to continue at a larger scale. Don't worry they will toss you crumbs. Just engage!
I am sorry. Enjoy your APY that is not in USD but a depreciating shitcoin. Good news, they have faith they'll make things right you. Bad news, you might have more faith.
My point is this is taboo, nobody talks about it. It supercedes any technical blockchain jargon in my opinion. Those BTS guys are mighty dirty bastards.
I know that blocktrades knew because of his shares in Steemit, he even told me in a comment. It doesn't matter what the motives are, the truth is that hive is less reliant on blocktrades now that it was reliant on Steemit.
Steemit had a huge stake. And they were selling more dollars just for node costs than the DAO is printnig now. At least blocktrades made node run 8x cheaper.
Hive is simply better now, don't know why you get sucked into weird guesses. If you don't trust blocktrades then fine, I can see why. I personally think he really wants to implement on hive his vision of a huge reputation system, which I am not a fan of honestly.
But hive will be successful even without that.
Time will tell 🙃. The real issue I have with Hive is that the BTS camp and their enabling significant others have turn this to their personal BS. Which created an unscalable amish-like internet atmosphere.
Globalization is so much more. Some people don't like rim jobs, that isn't part of the process. Fortunately they overestimated their legitimacy, and are more than wrong on several fronts.
At the start of every great revolution they hang the "intellectuals" from the gallows. It will now take several years for this mess to get sorted out. Perhaps a double digit percentage on a young life. Those old bastards this is entanglement.
They made something minute to some, serious for them. Very big problem. I suggest they don't act so tough, and keep it on the backburner. It is very sad this is what some people have energy to do in retirement. Tragic.
