I deeply respect the fact that you are self-reflective ... the politics being messy is one big part but you know the others.
What you have done STILL has value... after a few months when things cool off, and if others also self-reflect and show humility, Hive will still need your kind of skill and maybe there will still be a way to offer them in a way that is fair to you. If not, your skill still has value. So does your ability to self-reflect and realize the steps in the processes you have gone through -- that, in an un-reflective world, is PRICELESS. Others will see it ... unfortunately, maybe this time politics has caused things to be overlooked that should not have been. But there will be a next time, and new opportunity. I wish you well, sir.
Thank you. I do exchange work for many top coins now and it's okay and completely understandable that I do not fit with the culture everywhere.
Today has been a bit crazy.
Ironically, the Head of Listings at Coinbase reached out to me tonight to ask about Hive and presumably get the listing process started. In the spirit of decentralized social media, I will pass this contact and communications along to the Hive team via @inertia @howo and @roelandp. Most likely, tomorrow morning Eastern Time. Coinbase sent a 15 page listing document for someone to fill out.
Yikes -- Coinbase! Thanks for being willing to help Hive by passing the word along ... and for the EARLY heads up for those who have read down this far into the conversation (especially ME)!
