My fellow cetaceans! lend me your sound-receiving jawbones!
Side note:
The way orcas communicate is really quite fascinating. As you can see here, they have a fat-filled cavity in their lower jawbones that resonates with sound waves. They even use it for eco location!

Back to my speech...
We were born regular folk, just like anybody else. We are participants in this equal playing field with the same rules, the same opportunities and the same challenges as anybody else. We've made a conscious choice to build here. We've acquired skin in the game by fair means: investing time, money and spilling blood, sweat and tears on the battleground of these interwebs we call home.
We are here because we believe in freedom and know that in a decentralized network state such as the HIVE protocol, it is US who must build and use our stake to vote.
We don't need to agree on everything. In fact, we don't need to agree on anything except one thing: the fact that we need to acquire and use our stake to vote.
We must vote on:
- How the DAO, the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) uses its funds
- Which witness nodes are in the top 20 block producers
- What content on any one of HIVE's front ends is contributing to the growth and wellbeing of our ecosystem
- What content is undermining the ecosystem.
Anybody has the power to promote our beloved ecosystem and create awareness of the amazing tools that are available here for users and developers, however it is YOU, who wear a badge of honor, like a battle scar, that nobody can deny.
It is the badge of orcahood, which is synonymous of time, effort and commitment. Because of this, I believe in YOU fellow orca. I will read your content first, I will vote for your content with more power, I will join your contests and I will share your story. I will play your game, I will buy your token and I will read your proposal first.
Younger accounts (Minnows and dolphins) are not to be abandoned. Not by any means, but they are freshmen and must show commitment and desire to join the ranks of long-term believers of our beloved ecosystem.
I will support younger accounts with education. With tutorials like these:
- How to onboard a friend with Keychain
- Hive - understanding the currency and reward system
- How to swap from BTC to HIVE using LEODEX
and perhaps a little delegation to get started too.
We don't want people getting frustrated for not being able to make a post or edit their first post because of lack of resource credits. But after they've taken their first steps on HIVE, newcomers must learn about having skin in the game by building their stake. This is a fundamental part of being a Hive citizen.
Acquiring stake on HIVE is easy and available to all. There is a list of about a dozen exchanges where you can buy it (list here). Not to mention at least one decentralized exchange called https://leodex.io/
If they don't have money to spend, they can earn it.
If they create valuable content that educates, elevates, promotes and improves our ecosystem, they WILL get interaction from me. Some interaction. After I've checked their wallet, activity history and KE ratio.
Remember: everything you do is visible on the blockchain.
I will not support extractors or abusers.
Yes, it's a bit tedious, manual and time-consuming. I am willing to put in that work to safeguard the integrity of my home.
It is my job and yours, fellow orca.
You who wear the badge
You who wear the scars
You who has showed up regularly
My fellow cetaceans, I salute you with clicks, calls, and whistles!
We have a huge responsibility within this ecosystem. use your stake responsibly and show others how to do the same. It's in everybody's benefit.

Hehehehe... That's a nice speech... It reminds me of 2 different things... 😃
and this one...
💜
The good Earth is, in fact, rich and there is room for everyone. We must unite as humans and help each other. Hive is rich and with room for everyone. Look at this image I created yesterday on Hive's fertile ground:
Hive is a fertile ground where everybody can build tools as well as stake. Everybody has a voice and everybody can gain and create value. Medium accounts (Orcas) have the responsibility of teaching, helping and even policing others. It's our duty.
The potential is infinte if everybody does their part.
I keep doing my best, speading the word, attenting meetups in various countries (well, three in total, but still), greeting and helping newbies, and curating. No selfvoting, of course :)
With great (Hive) Power comes great responsibility :)
Yes! this is exactly right!
With great Hive power comes great responsibility. This needs to be known among all stakeholders and particularly the medium-sized ones. I believe we are responsible for teaching Hive culture to newcomers and making sure they receive value when they put value in, and receive penalties when they undermine or abuse our home.
It sounds like a speech from Arthur in Merlin, when they wanted to go and fight Morgana lol. Nice one.
I agree that we should curate less extractors and promote good behaviors. I also have a bias towards those who are building here with us.
Haha I even made the castles to make it more like Merlin's speech. Extractors should be punished and also told why they are being punished. Small downvotes are an excellent tool for learning. If they are able to learn, they have the opportunity of becoming good HIVE citizens. If they cannot learn, they can go somewhere else.
Good one lol. I think it's important. Personally I try to educate people to keep their stake, I've done that in the past and I'm currently speaking to two people the importance of keeping and growing their stake. I don't really do that much DV all I do is do my research and if they're not keeping their stake at least 50% then I don't support them.
Good day Alex.
i think the KE indicator is a good step toward a better "Trusted Reputation" indicator. There are some parameters not taken into account, such as hive-engine holdings, alt-accounts, self-voting, governance activity, and several other parameters which would help add value to Hive ecosystem.
You may have seen some of my posts / Snaps re. an Anonymous Self-Sovereign Decentralized Fractal Democracy system which i am helping to refine and implement. One of the components of this system is a cross-chain Trusted Reputation system (Anonymous & Private).
It will be free and open source.
Yes, the reputation system is not perfect and the KE ratio is a step in the right direction. I don't use it as an absolute indicator, but rather one of various things I check on the blockchain that might signal good or bad behavior.
Do you have links to this ASDFD system?
Here is a post from a while back which gives further links for key info. https://peakd.com/hive-153630/@atma.love/how-to-re-solve-most
There have been some refinements since then & not all is written down yet. Better simple presentation is in early prep stage.
Feedback & questions very welcome.
One day I will join the ranks of the Orca, Alex.
These days I have achieved double dolphin, working on triple dolphin.🐬
You've been very consistent! keep it up and you will join the ranks soon. I also see you are using your stake to vote for witnesses. Congratulations on being an active Hive citizen.
😊💪🏻 I do my best.
Hello, please how do I check if I’m a minnow and others?
Go to https://hivebuzz.me/ and enter your username. It will give you your rank and other interesting stats on your account :)
Thank you
I'm not an Orca yet but YES SIR! 🫡
You've got a good KE ratio, you're voting for witnesses and you're growing your account at a rate of about 90HP per month. Consider picking up some HIVE now that it's on sale and maybe increase your posting frequency a bit. Remember: you can always exchange work for HIVE. HIVE is a value4value ecosystem.
Yes, you unlocked a new way of seeing Hive for me, thanks 👍🏻
I love the passion for Hive and the commitment to keeping the ecosystem strong. Orcas sticking together, one day I'll be part 🙏
You have a decent KE ratio.
Keep adding value and showing you are committed and you will get support from me as well as other orcas on HIVE.
woah 😱😱 all I have to do is add value, the. I'm up for it.... I'll get a goodnight sleep then tomorrow I do way more and push in quality value. If that's the way then I'll do what I have to do ... This is so motivating to me Mr Alex
It is nice of you to support those who have invested time, effort and money to Hive. I sure hope that I will be an orca in another 5-7 years. I think that my KE ratio is quite decent.
I will support those who have invested time, effort and money, yes, but they must also be good HIVE citizens by using their stake to vote and also help initiatives to help onboarding newcomers as well as safeguarding our ecosystem. If they are abusers, they won't get support from me.
Your KE ratio is good:
But you don't participate in governance:
If you want more support from fellow Hive citizens, you must vote.
That is weird. I thought that some time ago I voted for witness. As I recall there were an option to copy another users votes and I tried using that. But now I don't see that option. Strange. Nevermind... I will vote manually now. Thank you for informing me about this.
Edit: I voted for some but I still have some votes left and I think that I have not heard most of remaining people.
Nice tribute to all the Hive Orcas out there :) I miss being one of them but it is what it is. Maybe one day I will reclaim my orcahood :)

I hope you do!
The idea is to inspire and help newcomers become orcas and active Hive citizens by showing them there is an amazing community here. To be a part of it, they must become active HIVE citizens that bring value to the ecosystem. This means creating valuable content, using their stake to vote, participating in discussion and protecting our ecosystem from extractors and abusers.
You actually replied to the TipU bot, not me, but I found it so it´s all good :) Yeah, an important message to be shared with the newcomers. Thanks for taking the initiative!
Ah, I did. My apologies. Yes, I hope more newcomers understand that this is a value4value ecosystem where you can do something for someone and get cryptocurrency in return.
This is the key.
A lot of folks want to post pictures of their lunch and expect to earn life-changing money for it. Aside from a few sympathy votes, it won't get you very far.
I don't know, I might even put together a little onboarding school or something.
What does exactly this means? "Ecosystem" as in HIVE or just creating quality content for HIVERs?
!HBIT
Hive is much more than a single website. Hive is much more than a blockchain. It's an ecosystem made of multiple dapps, front ends, decentralized exchanges, games that harness the power of the HIVE blockchain.
I support initiatives that educate, elevate, promote and improve our ecosystem. This can be in the form of posts, contests, events, outward-facing content, etc.
I love it! Thanks for your answer! Going back an old message I send you - I don't know if you saw it, but I would love to interview you in my Podcast. I couple of week ago I interviewed Starkerz and I would love to talk to you about HIVE.
https://ecency.com/hive-125125/@acgalarza/ktholgip
Yes! I'd love to be on your show. Shoot me a DM on X and we'll schedule it.
Sweet! I'll do that!
