RE: AMA with the Turkish Huobi Telegram - My questions and answers + other thoughts from the event.

in #huobi5 years ago

How do you feel about this nature of this terrible shame/fomo tactic by Huobi during their recent Hive listing? I saw the Hive rocket ship replies and was massively disappointed by the blind eye. We have a responsibility to work with partners who exhibit ethical behavior, not mock and goad people into buying at all-time highs at the time like the chart was some sure bet. It was ridiculous.

I don't like Tweets like that myself and thought it was stupid too. But I've worked with enough large corps to know that it's not the higher-ups who manage those Twitter activities, but rather people they hire who are just told to do whatever gets attention one way or another. I'm pretty sure that if the core team at Huobi saw that Tweet that they would take it down, but it's not their priority.

What they did do, and which was certainly a decision made by the core team, was to add this warning to Hive inside the Huobi exchange after it had rocketed even more than in the Tweet above.

So that's more than enough to say that "they" (the actual Huobi team we've been in touch with, and not someone hired to Tweet) have the right morals that you're asking for. Should they also have kept a closer eye on their Twitter? Probably. But I doubt that Tweet had any effect at all other than PR.

A fine reply. Thank you.
