RE: If it can happen to Steem, it can happen to Hive

in #hive5 years ago

I think that at some point we have to have some level of trust in community.
Think about it this way, Sun did run us off STEEM with his behavior, but we are thriving here. And he has not succeeded in controlling us. Even the funds he tried to steal, well someone in the community prevented the theft.

In the end, anywhere in life, we rely on those we are connected to for our safety. Solo security is an illusion. Even with bitcoin, wouldn't it be hacked by now if not for the maintenance and improvements being done by the core developers all these years? And what value would it have to someone like me (or you?) if there were no hardware wallets, mobile wallets, authentication apps, and so much more that community members create and often offer for free?

I hope you'll stay. I hope you have enough trust in enough people in this community that you feel safe investing your time with us.

While I acknowledge that what happened with Sun to be true, I must also remember that the witnesses that govern here, were also capable, willing and did indeed freeze assets of accounts on the blockchain when they were witnesses there. Breach of trust and criminal activity in my view. I'm not staying. I'm checking out and will not return. Good luck though. I hope that it goes well for people here, including yourself.

Like I said below, my trust rests outside of this realm. That is where I will place my trust, in Creator, Mother Earth, myself and my physical tribe. They have proven themselves to be trust worthy.
