That’s the thing… proof of group think and centralization. That’s the problem with the DV and it’s current unfriendly implementation. We need a DV but we need a constructive and intelligent DV. This isn’t an environment where freedom of thought can flourish so long as the DV is undeveloped. But hey… the way I see it. Social Capital, trust, and truth matter far far more than the Financial Capital these people are attempting to corner. It’s all good and I’m going to speak truth and continue to build trust. With every DV they target me with… they are taking their social capital and transferring it to me. My people… my audience will know what’s what. It’s funny that these people actually think they are doing good with this abusive and backwards behaviour… but hey! Whatever right! I think knowing is far more valuable than what they are attempting to strip away. But hey! That’s just me. Perhaps I think differently about this sort of thing… time will tell who was actually right about this… I’m confident in my stance. I’m the one on solid ground. The fact that they are reacting the way that they are… pretty much shows how weak and vulnerable their position actually is. 🤷♂️
If I find out they're part of the Dapp teams I invest in, I'm selling those assets and warning others not to invest since these actions show me I can trust these people to act professional. I was just trying to get my friend on here who has been asking me where to invest, messaged him today to cancel his Hive bids.
This is happening everywhere… but in secret. Most people back away slowly and quietly in this sort of social environment. Not me… I’m an advocate for true freedom and I believed, UP until recently, that I was among a progressive crypto community that was actively looking for ways to innovate new and better ways to human… so I’m giving them a chance… but so far people keep on fumbling the ball and showing me their true values…
I’m disappointed but there’s still time… 13 weeks and 3 days to be precise.
Damn those 13 week powerdowns too. One of the situations where I wanted it shortened to see you go.
Just because I’m powering down doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere. I’m putting my Hive to work where it will do some good.
Besides that… I have never (in 4 years) had a conversation with you until recently… why would I care so much about your thoughts on my coming or going all of a sudden?
Seems a little off if you ask me.
You don’t know me from a hole in the ground… why such a strong opinion about me?
Very odd… lol! 😆
Known you for short period of time and now I know I won't miss you. But good job taking notes on toning down those wall of texts. But if you do stick around, great, keep on #ryzing
At this point… I have to wonder what platform you are actually bringing value too. To be happy when an entrepreneur and investor powers down? Really? My decision to take MY business’s off the blockchain and my investment elsewhere is an example of Hive’s failure to stay relevant and innovative. I have a lot to say about that and if I want to I can speak out on and off the blockchain about this? Everyone is free to have a voice… this place is supposed to champion free speech… what does it say when someone like me makes the call and closes down a business on the blockchain? What does it say when closed minds try to hush someone? It says that things are fragile and that there might even be things under wraps that certain people don’t want light on.
What blockchain are you working for anyways? I’m working for Hive… and I want to give it a chance…
At this point this “text wall” isn’t for you… it’s for the truth seekers who will follow the breadcrumbs. Later will this be an archive of what we are proud of? Or will it be the shame and laughing stock of the wider crypto community?
Based on what you and your gang of bullies are doing… I have my sincere concerns.
This is why I do and say the things I do and say…
And ultimately… it’s not what’s said… it’s what isn’t said… and it’s about what isn’t done.
Passive agressive fascism I guess.... I dont spam, I dont plag. I stopped self upvoting since thats the only thing I can figure out I might be doing "wrong". Friends and strangers are telling me the same thing. You aren' the only Hive based project leaving because of it. Unless we pool millions together we are powerless. If any mainstream outlets actually start talking about Hive, this is going to come up to them Im sure. That will then also be talked about and bad publicity is not always good publicity. People aren't going to leave Twitter or Youtube where they can just not post hate or tits and make more money and get a way bigger audience instead of much less while trying not to upset a whale. At least Twitter and Youtube alert me if I made a mistake. I dont go around talking violence or showing my tits so they've never brought that up lol.
Like, you dont need Hive to utilize Actifit. Most big games will bridge over to Eth or Wax or something.
That’s just it. You hit the nail on the head. The longer the people here who CAN change this nonsense take to get serious… the longer they fumble the ball… the more eventual it becomes that there WILL be another blockchain solution that over takes us.
It’s only ignorance or arrogance (ego) or both (which is even worse!) that keeps us from learning from history. All one needs to do is look back (at any technological leap) to realize that there were MANY enterprises that attempted to crack/solve a problem… but when all was said and done… there were only a few that ever made it.
It’s foolish to throw away 1st mover advantage like this.
The work of innovation… it’s NOT done and the sooner people wakeUP and realize this the sooner they will listen to the users and actually make the changes that need to be made.
The longer this takes… the more unlikely we are to be the raving success we could be.
And what a crying shame that would be…
Oreos of blockchain social media will push the Hydrox (did I spell that right) out of the way.
See! This is a common story! Why do we have to repeat the recipe for failure like a bunch of ignoramus?! If it’s going to happen… then ok! But I’m going to speak my peace even if they don’t like to hear it. My heart is and always has been 100% here for Hive and it’s community… let’s hope they see that and start to take constructive action. Let’s see how many bright brains are actually listening and rolling up their sleeves. I’m very interested to see what happens next. And the way I see it… when you understand the fundamentals of why this matters… we don’t have anything to loose by #SpeakingUP. Isn’t that what freedom centric people naturally do?
Remember when a mass of people left steem due to perceived possible blockchain tyranny or centralization? Now it's happening here and people will care again and do. Apparently you don't have personal freedom of your Hive or HP anymore. Or ever did...
So this could very much be an incident of near history repeating itself all over again. It’s a shame to continue to make the same mistakes over and over again… and if that’s the case we only have one option… and that is to take a close look at the leadership and where they are leading us and why they are doing or allowing this.
John C. Maxwell says it best. 👇
I heard him do this presentation live. I’ll never forget that day. IMPACTFUL!
Maybe they should try to get these things fixed by actually building the tech the way they want and not build tech that allows people to upvote themselves. That's the only thing I can think of I did "wrong" after reading yours and other posts I've searched for. Not once did anyone actually try to speak to me but after seeing how they replied to you and your audience that dared had a question, I dont see that being any better. Classic tech world shit, some cliche thinks they got money so they think they're the Kings of the blockchain. That never helps the community.
In not inviting anyone to hive anymore as long as this is happening.
So… somethings changed. Hive has always been the same… only I didn’t realize it. I’m waiting to see if the wonderful people of Hive are as wonderful as they say they are on Twitter.
I want to promote Hive… but I want to promote a Hive that is growing rather than contracting… so long as this DV nonsense continues… I (and many others on and off the blockchain) will/won’t have the confidence (built on trust) to continue to BUIDL on the Hive Blockchain.
Prove me wrong Hive…
It’s time to begin innovating again. We can’t ship or sell if we don’t rethink the basics… HOW the DV is implemented MATTERS.
