It is pretty amazing the number of people that gladly accept or strive for labels. I have seen post that hive is doomed, that it will never amount to much and that it is an echo box only, that hive is outside of and behind the social and cultural curve. I just do not see that, what I have seen is people/individual fighting against the unjustifiable down vote when some one tries to put themselves up as the thought police. They don't last long when they learn that others on Hive will not tolerate thought police type actions.
To me that is growth as a culture and as a society. The wealthy on Hive can try to control the narrative, but they get kick back each and every time they try it. There is room for and a need for down votes, but when used inappropriately people get called out for it.
Hive is rebuilding backbones in men and womens on-line personas, that is the way I see it at any rate. Since the switch from Steem to Hive this is even more readily apparent to me. Bullying is being stood up to and the bullies are being taken down, unlike on some social sites.
I hope that the building of on-line backbones on hive can transfer over to the real world.
If I may I will send you 1 hive, and call my Buddy @lucylin to answer this as he gets more crap than me.
He is an interesting person and I do like interacting on his post. Sometimes we see eye to eye, sometimes not. Such is life. He always manages to stay above the crap though.
He is a typical argumentative tosser like me. He had a shite child hood, like me. I get him.
oy! ..less of the 'argumentative tosser', if you don't mind.
I didn't have a shite childhood, just a shite family...lol...(well, 80% of them)
LOL same same.
1 hive sent bud.
Thanks, one day I may actually look at it as real money and that it may make a change in my life, for now just over one more year before I decide to figure out and set-up a withdrawal to fiat system...maybe. (my five year mark)
At least we did not end up looking like this freak :-)
There certainly are less appealing aspects of life.
I think the time is upon us where we trade, not money. But goods for goods. If I am wrong call me out in 6 months and I will send you 50 hive
Speak to small1axe bud, he seems to have worked out a way to spend it.
You have to admit that steem is doing better than hive in value? The same people that made steem suck are in charge here less @ned. But is he still here?
It depends on what is value to you. Price wise it may be higher, to me that means nothing, they have no morals and are only about one thing that being money. Of course that is only my opinion, but as you can see I am here on Hive instead of being over on steem so my point of the price wise value is honest.
The only person that made Steem Suck was Justin Sun and Ned. So stating that the "same people that made steem suck are in charge here" is not quite accurate in my opinion.
So you have to admit that HIVE is doing better than Steem in Social value, and that the people on Hive are concerned with more than the monetary value, or all of the users on Hive would go back to steem.
I have no clue if @ned is active on Hive or not, I really don't care. If he got the airdrop also then he can be active and participate if he wants, if Justin Sun wants to invest in and buy some hive he can, who cares. The foundation of Hive is being solidified in HF 25. There seems to be more progress on Hive than there is on steem.
People can visit and be on both systems if they want, they can be on whaleshares, and or blurt or any other fork of steem they want or on all of them. I made my choice. Not everyone in the world allows money to be the only thing important to them. Some people have self respect and stand up for their ideals and morals, their Idea of good and bad, and money does not make the choice for them.
I think that should be dpoll question? Most of the people that bullied people into silence or they ran them off the platform are still here and are witnesses.They still do it today and they never stopped their obnoxious behavior unbecoming to a civilized society. Mobs of them.
I respectfully disagree with your hypothesis. I wish I could agree with you, I was a little deeper in the swamp here.
I don't think @ned was a bad guy he was just surrounded by small minded little boys. @justinsun was just a buyer, steem was already messed up by the same crowd in charge here.
If steem was messed up it was the owners fault...Ned, because he allowed it to happen. The buck stops at the top not at the bottom of the pile.
They all knew steemit was @neds company and that he had the ninja mined coins. What did they do about it?
They did nothing because they were all capitalizing on their greed!
They obtained from Ned a promise not to use the ninja mined tokens, or that was my understanding of it when it came out during the sale of steemit.
Who delegated to @freezepeach to help those wrongly attacked? Not one of any considerable amount.
I have no clue who delegated to @freezepeach or even who that was. I was not in any inner circles, I was just a user of the system not an insider of the system.
Most of the good things came from delegations that were provided by @ned not them! So many great coders were drawn here because of the opportunity that @ned provided with his delegations to utopian. Unless you think @freedom is not @ned. @freedom did the most good here who is that?
Once again I have no clue who @freedom was or is. Every time I saw someone ask Ned if it was him he denied it. So no idea who all, other than @ned, Ned was on the steem block chain. If I remember correctly he denied being either @freedom and @freezepeach account. I believe he did state one time that he knew who @freedom was, but never disclosed who it was.
I know @r0nd0n owns @freezepeach. I worked with him when I could. Sent many people his way.
@freedom is a large account and the ninja mined coins are somewhere still. There are very few honorable people I have dealt with on the crypto world
I guess its bit bot land here again? Is that better than before?
I never look at the price of steem tbh.
