RE: These are the kinds of idiots that creative types, and those who want their crypto to have value, need to understand

in #crypto4 years ago

Sometimes emotions can cause things to escalate and become more serious than the initial altercation. Calmly letting people know why the behavior is unacceptable should be an effective way of letting others best determine who is in the right.

I do agree with your point of view.

Creatives built the Pyramids, Rome, the Cathedrals, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and they will escalate the value and popularity of Hive. The stakeholders merely finance these things and some take all the credit, as petty kings often do.

This blockchain is still very much like the wild west. Disputes can often turn ugly when threats are made. The side with more guns will likely win. Not sure I know the best solution when dealing with opponents who threaten dangerous actions. I usually figure if they cannot be reasoned with, it is better to steer clear of them and warn allies to beware as well. Once in a while, doing so has allowed me to run into stronger allies willing to offer free protection to guard our similar values.

Sort:  

For an innocent comment on a post of someone I thought I followed (turns out it was a resteem), this self-important nut blew up at me and told me the lying thief who is enabling the theft of my tokens is somehow the smart guy and he was taking his chances with him. He also expressed an enthusiastic willful ignorance for the platforms he is posting on. I was surprised, after seeing that comment, to see he posts on Hive too. If taking his chances with Sun is really what he wants then he can stay on the sinking ship.

We'll take our chances with Sun, at least there is some possibility he has enough of a brain to understand that WE are the foundation that can be used to bring more people into this platform.

Seems that you thought Sun was a crook right from the start. Make note that if you had powered down as soon as Sun took over you'd be cashed out or close to it and wouldn't have to worry about what Sun does.

Those who pay attention know he's a crook.

That's all very wise and well said.

To that last part, I tend to meet bullies head on. If nothing else, this for all intents and purposes, this is a mass communicated warning to any allies.
