I remember Anica. My both great-grandmothers were called the same.
The first one I wrote in Hive was blind.
But today I know that the most powerful woman I have met in my life was Anica, my great-grandmother from my mother's side.
She used to predict someone's future peas. Many people from all over the country were visiting her not only for that but also for giving them advice and guidance related to health, personal life, trauma, conflicts, all sort of issues, from those related to marriage to others.
She has taught me and my cousins games she used to play as a child in the early 1900s.In the backyard were she was almost as ireal as the whole nature surrounding her. She had such a powerful voice, yet a mild and sweet one.
During the winter, she would tell us stories near a traditional old stove. Stories I have never read anywhere along these years...I know now that those belong to the folk culture that are passed from generation to generation by narrating them like that, without them being written nowhere. In college, I have followed 2 years of Folklore studies. I've met similarities with Anca's stories, but nothing alike. ...old stories about the sun, the moon, the earth and the elements, about how you need to look at all of these and incorporate nature into your life. Ancestral stories maybe...
Anica took care of anybody's problems in our family. And the fortune that she left behind is in our hearts and genes... feel that.
I have a picture with her close. But I prefer to write about her...and to keep her close in my soul.
I haven't visited my relatives in the last 10 years. They are all-powerful in their poverty. Decent. Kind. Fair and optimistic. Hard-workers...united also. It's part of the legacy she left for us....
As for me, I am a wanderess, carrying that legacy gold inside of who I am.
@spaminator can you explain -0.5 % when this whole story is about my life?
rewards are not about linking stuff... I just made an example here... which I expect someone to downvote...
I like you girl, but money has nothing to do with liking about you. It's a complex problem hard to explain on this blockchain, that needs solving... some understand... others don't... I confess it needs a bit of technical knowledge. Not related to the economics of ICOs, token distributions, etc...
If you get along with the 100% free upvote, that might just be a distraction (or a save by what I can or not be excused)... I don't really care about rewards in short term... it's just not worth it... I got that trading with 5 minutes of learning, for more than it.
The important thing here is community and understanding, consensus, and governance! This is the future!
If people don't understand, that's a big problem for them. And I understand that it might mean this blockchain might not be for them, but maybe I am wrong... because if the only reason to be on this blockchain is rewarded... then I would be gone already... many years ago!
Think about it. I value opinions.
I also value opinions, which are always subjective.
I dislike statements for different reasons.
Blockchain is for everybody, as I see it. The rest of the insatisfactions will be solved. If not, it's just going to be a matrix...reloaded.
As for liking me, I'm glad you do. Yet, I'm not a "girl" anymore, I'm a woman for many years now.
I also believed in the values you have expressed here until I was proven something else. There are communities with high respect from my side, where I can clearly state those people have decency, at least.
Life has taught me never to be a "true believer", but to trust those that stick to our mutual objectives, values, strategy, etc. In 2 months of being here, I have done more than some people that were here for 1 year. In the ecosystem and outside of it, all for Hive. So that could tell you something about my engagement if you haven't noticed the things I have done expressed in some of my articles.
If I were here for the rewards, I wouldn't have stayed more than 1 day.
Fortunatelly, my digital print and the things that I do online for so many years get me at least 1-2 BTC per month with no struggle, talking about the actual value of BTC.
Moreover, all the things that I usually engage in are things that I trust more than 50% that they'll work.
So, talking about those people being here for rewards only, my friend, good for them. There are people from poor countries that try to deliver some content here because they need to eat, live, survive. This is one reason why I appreciate Hive. Because it gives a chance for everybody, no matter their level of English.
I am here because I have more plans further on than these first steps. I have clients waiting for me to tell them how to introduce their business into this blockchain, groups that I might bring to cover several niche topics, and much more punctual approaches.
This has been a topic that is now closed by both parties before you came. BUT:
Thank you for your feedback. It might be useful for someone who is here for some peas.
Have a good day!
A women big fat balls indeeed ;) I like that too...😎
Neah! Just a brave puss.

ENGAGEtokens.tag @anthonyadavisii - requesting advice regarding spaminator downvotes
Based on the comment from @hivewatcher, there appears to be an alleged pattern of abuse. They usually put such users on an autodownvote but it would be nice if these are accompanied with a comment pointing users to the evidence for transparency. I don't know how difficult of an ask that would be but did mention in my reply to their comment to you so hopefully we will see.
thank you for your attention.
if it's against the law to ask people to donate for your surgery, then it should also be against the law for all of the other "charity organizations" on this platform.
tag @hivewatchers - please review spaminator settings, what crime has been committed here?
Crime? I have no idea what you mean.
We have never dealt with crimes.
We are dealing with abuse of the platform.
Such as the theft of other people's content and posting as own to deceive the community and monetize this content.
The plagiarist "regenerette" will stay blacklisted, just as this plagiarist previous account "regeneretta" was blacklisted
After going over the account and seeing only a few infractions where they forget a source of the material used in their, not entirely sure she warrants a plagurism flag in the slightest, not to mention after losing her account once to a phishing attack and pushing through that to come back to the community.
Asking for an appeal on her behalf from this blacklist and auto-downvote shit. If she fucks up again I'll downvote her myself, But I don't think her intentions are that of a plagurist, and rather this is a teachable opportunity to help a new user "learn the ropes" instead of just marking them as a spammer and throwing away the key.
Get back to my ASAP please. I've explained to her that if you use outside source material other than your own original writing you must include a link to author or mention original source. Shit canning users this new that have already been given ample reason to leave buy other difficulties faced is silly, and calling in a blacklist flag shouldn't fall onto the choice of a single individual ever.
Calling a person a "plagiarist" after from what I can tell is ~6 or less incidents where they used text from elsewhere without quoting source..? Eh, by that definition we're probably looking at half the accounts here getting flagged then.
Anyways, I request and appeal on her behalf, she knows what she needs to focus on to not do anything perceived as future plagiarism. Talk soon @hivewatcher
@klye
I will remove the blacklist. The next time it will be permanent though, so please make sure that this user does not steal someone else's content on mass again.
Just as the user was stealing other's content on an old account (long before being phished):
https://peakd.com/hive-160446/@regeneretta/just-read-this
And now caught stealing on mass. The user being caught with plagiarism in multiple posts (spinning/rewriting to avoid detection) just in the last week alone.
And the user has the audacity to loudly and falsely deny make herself a victim, using excuses and trolling Hivewatchers on Twitter.
Just because we only commented on few posts last week, does not mean that there are only these.
The whole blog is one mass theft of content.
She never provided the source of her spun/rewriting (it is all shown on the blockchain). Even if she did, that would either be an attempt to copy-paste or plagiarism (as she did not get permission to use this original author's/website copyrighted content).
She claims that she forgot the sources (typical, naive, false claim used as an excuse which we have heard hundreds of times by now from all sorts of plagiarists)
Someone can "forget" the source once. Not a flood of "forgetfulness" dozens of times.
Thank you.
Trust evokes trust.
I'll see into this matter not to repeat from now.
For complete transparency:
I have posted from @regeneretta an article about our new company and coin here, https://ecency.com/hive-160446/@regeneretta/just-read-this
Feel free to contact Email: [email protected], Uwe will tell you if the content I have used on my article belongs or not to my website = https://mysafecrypto.info/ is my website, which is a replica of what we first created on https://worldcryptolife.com/mall/ and improved after. My website is the first replica of the first website, meant for marketing purposes. After this first site, we have created several for the early adopters of our coin.
Uwe Uhele is the one in charge, just mention my name, simply @regenerette and he will tell you that specific content belongs to me, our whole team has changed it sometimes for other duplicate sites after we have launched the first replica (my website) after Uwe's main website.
All the information I have provided back then in my article was already under copyright: ©Copyright - mysafecrypto.info which is my website, made by the same guy who owns https://worldcryptolife.com/
I appreciate the fact that you have changed your mind. And with your permission, I will report hate speech, plagiarism, and much more happening around Hive, things that sometimes go unnoticed. Just tell me how and where should I report these things, @hivewatcher
Thank you, @klye, @wil.metcalfe, @logiczombie, and @anthonyadavisii! Your guidance and support mean a lot.
<3 thank you for the blacklist removal. I'll try and keep an eye on her. I gave her shit for not including sources so I think she's aware now that it's a requirement.
I agree that once or twice is gine, shit happens.. BUt yeah, if it continues to be an issue then it's a true issue. I think she'll smarten up to be honest. Seems genuine enough.
Thanks for the consideration! Have a gooder captain!
Thank you for doing the in-depth detailed work that you do @hivewatcher.
Keeping content original and authentic is really important to the continuance and integrity of the Hive Blockchain. It’s probably a huge head ache and takes up a lot of brain juice but someone’s got to do it if we want to maintain Hive as the go-to destination it is becoming!
I’m sure that sometimes this feels like a thankless job.... but what a necessary one it is! I can only imagine (in horror!) what it might be like around here without people who care like you do!
However... as a person who values integrity, unique authenticity, and authentic well written content combined with connection, I also value friendliness and substantiation.
Considering we are dealing in fact here, is there not a public repository where situations can be logged in a case by case way?
Because we are a decentralized community of people posting rich content (some of which could be quoted sources to add layers of meaning and depth) I think it might be a wise future forward implementation to avoid potential negative vibes and mutual mystification.
The more clear cut we can make things the more decentralized and trust compounding our processes can become strengthening the community culture and the foundations of friendliness that spring from this. Securitization AND a welcoming environment are both imperative to all of our success here on the Hive Blockchain.
When it comes to content... I get the vigilance. Content is the substance of what makes up people’s lives... and that’s why people care about it so much! (Especially here on the Hive Blockchain!) We want a culture like this on Hive. One that protects and values genuine effort and input. Content that people care about... but we must also preserve the friendly welcoming nature of this community. It’s vitally important if we are to continue growing and bringing more amazing people and real substance into the network.
Thank you for reading and your consideration and thank you for giving @regeneretta a pass as I think she’s presently doing her best to represent Hive favourably on and off this blockchain.
I believe that the more people invest (in time and capital) into making Hive their home... the less likely they are to have shortsightedness in their actions and the more likely they are to respect and value the reasons behind why this place is different and works as a way to value information and content.
Let’s all keep doing good and spreading “Good Wil”. 😉

This account has noted plagiarism? Curious to review the reports if there is a way to pull it up. The downvoted comment in this thread seems to be a genuine contribution.
Adding a comment to the downvoted comment with links to substantiate the alleged pattern of abuse would be helpful for community transparency. Wonder how difficult that would be to work in. 🤔
The evidence left in out multiple comments is clear. I am not going to copy you a link to the "replies" section of the blog. I am sure that you are able to find it yourself.
What a great response about a great woman! It really made me feel the respect you have for her but more so the way you feel she is so special and how she has impacted your life, and others.
Those old folklore stories are so valuable and I hope you remember them and will pass them on - That's how folklore works.
In your wandering ways you carry your grandmother Anica, the other too, and that's as it should be.
Awesome response regenerette!
!ENGAGE 20
Thank you so much for reading it. Any issues that have appeared over the weekend were fixed.
I look forward to having more energy and engage in your future challenges and I shall always appreciate their quality and dynamics!
It took me a while to decide to write about Anica or not, because her memory now is so personal....a real treasure. And I am glad I have opened up and did it!
Thank you for this opportunity to revalue my belongings and my identity!
I understand the feeling of wanting to keep some things private however it's sometimes nice to share such empowering stories with others that they may also benefit. 🙂
Thanks for getting involved.
I'm looking forward to this weekend's topic!
