The truth is painful.
I am glad you found someone and something to nourish your belief in a better future.
I have too, but my faith in the chains future is waning. The economic censorship here is well known. People constantly deny it, but their constant denial attests more to its existence then absence.
The lack of support for initiatives, ingrained players sucking up the lion’s share of the reward pool, outright hostility to newcomers, innovation and disagreement with their views here is well known.
Many seek to preserve their giant pieces of the reward pool at all costs.
I share your ride and die attitude and currently feel the chances of Hive ever becoming widely known are basically slim and none. The forces of progress and encouragement are too small, and the forces of darkness to large.
I see a slim chance of a better future, that chance is sick in bed, and the prognosis is poor.
Which is sad, because the flashes of brilliance here are amazing, but the flashes of ignorance staggering.
Go to antisocialist's blog. He recommends that we small fish and dolphins may power up. Or, read his comments, that may be better. I am going to do that after I have found my keys. LOL
