PS.
An explanation for Non-Hivians – What on earth is this post about?
The Hive blockchain in theory, is an uncensored blogging platform where you can earn rewards for blogging. It’s not a big ecosystem, but it’s very relevant to our current global system because it is becoming increasingly dysfunctional.
The theory of Hive sounds good, but in practise it highlights all the shortcomings of decentralised blockchains based on “proof of stake” (ie. who has the most money), and indeed, our entire society. Rather than creating healthy competition and creating higher standards, it creates decline, mediocracy, and corruption.
(There are about half a dozen blogging front ends running on the Hive blockchain – the most popular one is called “Peakd” – https://peakd.com )
A cabal of deep state funded accounts control the content and the reward pool, by relentlessly downvoting non-approved content and constantly throwing large upvotes at the other insider accounts. Currently non allowed content includes exposing the coronahoax or agenda 2030, the corruption on the platform itself, and anything else they don’t like.
The accounts doing the downvoting are just tools – the real problem lies in the set up of the blockchain itself – a system in which the powerful can control and censor the content, while also stealing all the rewards for themselves.
My own account was reasonably popular with around 900 followers and my posts were getting around 100 upvotes and earning about $20 each. But these days everything I post is downvoted to zero by insider accounts. The account that seems to have been assigned to do most of the down voting on my account is called @azircon.
So this post is all about giving azircon some much deserved love and appreciation 🙂
