I have looked at the blockchain for over 6 years now. I said 6 years ago the things that we are seeing now in the world would be here.
While here. One of the biggest topics has been rewards. And the Emphasis on rewards is a bad thing for retention of users.
Yet we are there again. On board people with the promise of a value reward. Steps backwards.
I have also attended the new shows popping up on the Hive server. The fukin hypocrisy is riff. Even getting told by 4 people. We won't ask the hard questions. We need their support.
A bloody brown nosing show to stuck a head up someone ass for a vote and popularity. Not one show asks any hard questions about a project Soft pussy footing around the guest.
When I came to this chain I said openly out loud I am here for the money it can provide. There is no denying that. The stupidity of the chain is there is no questions. You all have answers yet none of those answers worked. You try them again and again under a different name.
None will reflect on I didn't wan just money. I wanted a load of people to provide a little bit. With what was built. We could buy Hive tokens from an external source. Creating demand and value for the tokens everyone holds.
This chain wants to rely on the limited funding it can provide daily, To give rewards to millions of people. Now to do that with an instant change to BTC. SHOUTS out down pressure on HIVE token.
Well I will leave some HP in the Hive account and reduce the value of the vote it gives so it can vote longer.
Other accounts will still follow vote. So anyone on the vote now will keep it.
The biggest disappointment I see on the blockchain. Is those who know do not want to hear anything from anyone. They never have a question about something said. They always have a defensive reply ready to justify their thought.
When you question their project. Name calling comes quick from them because they can not provide answers to questions asked. And the hoard of minions after their vote will jump in to defend by going off on tangents of wokey kokey rainbow colours.
One thing the Hive chain has shown. Is that HP or wealth does not mean people care about you.
But they want your support for their project while they will give none back to you.
What happened to the thing f clean up your own back yard before you sort out the world. How many users here now struggle to get support.
The latest project want to on board people who have plenty of crypto and have them make more by commenting posting and getting big rewards from an established large account. Also leveraging out that responsibility to other large account holders. So large stake holders of other crypto can get rewards on Hive.
@c0ff33a Thank you for the vote you privileged me with. Though a condition set to getting it, That bring me to the post. The thank you is sincere. Without it I would have gave up a while ago and you would have saved many people the pain of having to listen to me. Maybe they are not as thankful as me.
Anyways. Some where between 10 and 12K HP remains. More than the tiny 2K you thought I had eh. Well that was voting the Kitchen all along too. Kitchen girl will still have a vote of pennies coming in when I power down this account. Huckleberrie HP and associated will run until that man gets his 5K promised.
@guiltyparties I think I owe you too a thanks for votes. Other than that I do owe you thanks for your time in DM and patience. Though you never understood what I said.
Word is good. How they abuse is bad. Quote from someone almighty.
I still believe that the freedom to transact freely and cheaply are big reasons to stick around and keep using the protocol.
Too much fuss about who gets what. Users can buy tokens on the open market and earn from curation and price appreciation.
Having skin in the game exposed you to huge upside potential.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Never once have I said give away free.
The only thing I have said that needs to be supplied free from the chain is that the chain builds what is needed for the future.
I am sure you do not have the time for my lectures ego.
Edit
I am of thinking just to spite all of those my paranoia says refused to hear me for invalid reasons.
To get myself a 30 HP stake and have it there just to up the Proposal median. I am thinking if more did so. Then the requirement of agreement from more would be needed. The smaller accounts grow their holding value by proxy.
But then that could just be a hurt pride and never happen.
Or it might and the ego will have no need to boast about it.
Neither did I.
I'm agreeing with you that too much emphasis on rewards is a bad thing and that being able to transact freely and cheaply are big reasons to stick around and keep using the protocol.
Apologies. My bad. Not used to agreement.
My summary.
It's possible.
Conbat (Tpo there Combat, But Con bat the banks seems right too.) the current banking system Through mortgage.
This happens with initial funding from the chain. Not an owned by me account. Like a company account if a company started here.
The profits from the company provide demand for Hive tokens while the finance to produce a higher value monthly return is established. (progressive).
Through the process onboard and facilitation of use can be garnished. Encouraging friends to use the chain and they will buy their rewards. Word of mouth friends helping friends.
Location determines investment values. No matter where the same thing applies.
Process time to set up 5 years from start to providing a mortgage or loan for property purchase.
The process to remove control from the central system has begun them and the enrichment of the Hive tokens gains value against a decreasing FIAT.
This phrase is like a proverb or aphorism emphasizing opportunity costs and trade-offs.
It's often used in economics and popular culture to express the idea that everything has a cost.
If people want to make money in the protocol, they can do so, but they have to have skin in the game.
Skin in the game is a figure of speech by the way.
There is not many who want a free lunch.
For the vast majority of people. They would prefer to have done something for the gain.
The truth is. The free lunch does not do the soul any good. That is the reason most do not want the handout.
Take for Hive. Are we going to teach all users how to code?
Opinion is not counted in discussion unless you are a coder.
Having skin in the game does not mean you have a say. Especially on Hive. Your skin colour is determined by the HP. Low HP gets a disregard.
Nothing about a free lunch ever in anything I have said in 6 years.
I only blogged here to share a concept that I have proved can work twice. No one has interest in actually doing what the hype around BTC said BTC could do at the start. Remove central financial control.
All crypto currency token is coming under the control of the same central financial system.
In doing nothing to make that change. We only send the children of our children to servitude.
