Hey @trumpman,
Congrats on your powerup! Based on @sm-silva's comment and your downvotes, I’m guessing you’re referring to me. It’s okay if you don’t like me, but I’d like to clear up some misconceptions since what you’ve shared isn’t entirely accurate.
First off, it’s true that I’m selling Hive — but not for the reasons you’re suggesting. The reality is simple: I need to provide for my family, keep a roof over our heads, and continue working on projects that matter to me and other. If I could afford to keep all my Hive staked, I absolutely would. That’s just not my situation right now, and I won’t sugarcoat it. If this is a dealbreaker for your vote, I understand and respect that.
Regarding the claim that I’m diverting funds to ETH — that’s not true. I started using EVM smart contracts for my game because it was the best technical choice for creating a fully onchain game without having to rely on Hive Engine, which quite frankly has it's own flaws, or building my own validator system from the ground up. I’ve been keeping a close eye on the work Blocktrades and his team are doing, as well as developments with VSC, but neither was production-ready when I had to make the decision months ago.
Hive has always been important to me. Over the years, I’ve seen over and over again Hive’s greatest strength: its community. It’s ironic that many memecoins rely almost entirely on their communities, though assembled by greed, yet Hive has so much more to offer and still sits at a fraction of some of their market caps.
After 7 years on Hive, I’ve learned a lot. My vision is to help bring Hive out of its bubble, but that won’t happen if we stay in an echo chamber or keep doing the same things. I’ve tried focusing exclusively on Hive before, but that just didn't work out. This time, I'm learning into Hive's strength and combining them with innovations & strengths from other platforms where they make sense. I believe this approach can bring more people to Hive, especially with the lite accounts being developed by Blocktrades and his team, than me just focusing on Hive-exclusive projects.
That said, I understand your frustration with the price and how, without full context, my actions might be interpreted differently. I hope this explanation helps clarify the situation and shows that my commitment to Hive remains strong.
Wishing you all the best,
Wolf
