Thank you for your thoughtful response and for engaging in this conversation without resorting to abuse or hostility. It’s refreshing to see that even when opinions differ, we can still communicate respectfully. That alone is a step forward in addressing the challenges Hive faces as a community.
You’re absolutely right—Marky may have been helpful and positive in your interactions with him, and those experiences are valid. However, it’s also important to acknowledge that his actions, along with the network of accounts associated with him (like @buildawhale), have caused significant harm to many others. This isn’t just about isolated incidents; it’s about patterns of behavior that have had far-reaching consequences, some of which date back to Steemit days.
The pain caused by these activities is real, and it continues to affect people deeply—whether through financial losses, trust issues, or damage to the ecosystem’s integrity. Turning a blind eye to these realities only perpetuates the problem and risks guilt by association. As members of this community, we all share responsibility for ensuring Hive thrives as a fair, transparent, and trustworthy platform.
We appreciate your willingness to listen and reflect on this issue. The Bilpcoin team is here not to point fingers but to help Hive heal and grow stronger. We’ve already exposed a great deal of what’s been happening behind the scenes, and there’s more work ahead. But progress starts with awareness—and conversations like this one.
For now, we’ll take a step back to give you and others time to process everything. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to think critically about how they contribute to the health of our ecosystem. Are we enabling harmful practices, intentionally or not? Or are we actively working toward solutions that benefit the entire community?
Again, thank you for engaging constructively. Together, we can make Hive better—for everyone.
