I was scrolling through Twitter earlier today around 3:00 am, yes 3 am and I stumbled upon a Twitter rant by @Cryptofinally.
The tweet was shared by someone I follow on Twitter and he was saying how the Hive community is bitter with Cryptofinally.
I obviously had to watch the original Twitter Video rant which is 13 minutes long.
In the video above which you need to watch, @Cryptofinally talks of how she's a Hive advocate and she's been telling everyone about it and how cool it is bla bla..
She literally says of how she's a big supporter of Hive and how she has encouraged many people to join.
The video continues whereby she claims one group of Hive whales are targeting her and downvoting her posts these last two days.
She singled out Bernie Sanders as the whale downvoting and leaving cursing and angry comments on her posts.
I cannot break down the whole video because it is 13 mins long as that would make this post so long.
I will now summarize what she said as comprehended by me,
Cryptofinally says and I quote
"Hive, your userbase is not large enough to expect traditional content creators to adhere to the late of your large stakeholders, you will not adopt under these circumstances"
She also said how she was disappointed in how many Hive users told her that this is how consensus works!!
Cryptofinally threatened to leave Hive!!!!
I have to admit that at this point I personally said fucking leave while still watching her!!!!!
I have been on the Steem/hive blockchain for 3 fucking years now and I have witnessed all the dram especially that involving Bernie Sanders.
Yes, I do agree Berne sometimes goes overboard but he always has his reason why he goes after(if that is the right word anyway) someone.
Those who have been here for long remember the Bernie Vs Haejin war, you all know what happened.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, I have been here for 3 fuking years and see how this place works.
Hey Cryptofinally, in your video you told us to check out your posts and the comments, I did check out.
Now as someone who has spent time here, the first thing I did was check your wallet!!!!
For anyone who claims to support or promote Hive or entitled to votes, their Hive wallet MUST also correspond to their entitlement!!
Now you might check my wallet to counter react on this, my wallet is almost zero and I have a power-down running!!
Since my wallet is at zero, I am not fucking entitled to any votes or support from the whales, not in any way.
On Hive being a supporter means buying Hive as it adds value to the ecosystem.
You say you promote Hive massively(which is good btw and thanks for that), but you should also have a sizeable wallet to be entitled to votes!!
Now many people might get me wrong here, but that is how shit is!
You threatened to leave Hive if this behaviour does not stop, from the comments it seems people are not bothered by your leaving.
Btw I am some random guy from Uganda, Africa who has been on Hive for 3 years so you should not get pissed !!
I read some comments and one said that you have earned 6kHP and yet your account has only 2kHP!!!!
Another person said that you do not have any curation rewards ie zero rewards, that means you do not upvote other people at all!!
I have read your posts and the community seems not to give a fuck!!
In this video and many of your posts, you are/were trying to play the victim card of Hive needs adoption shit.
I am sure you have read that that adoption victim card shit will not bring any help or sympathy to you.
Let me explain what adoption victim card is, it is saying that if this kind of downvoting(on your posts) continues then Hive will not get many users bla bla !!
Let me post this below showing you playing the victim card and a reply from one of Hive's oldest user @acidyo who manually does curation on the platform.
He was very blunt and clear here and he explained my point below of how votes are balanced on the platform.
As far as I know, in Hive if people like your content, then they will upvote it and vice versa.
There is another scenario whereby many people upvote and a few downvote your content, there will be a consensus.
In case of a scenario where you receive many downvotes and few upvotes, it means there are few people who believe or like your content.
In your example, you say that Bernie downvotes you, I am sure he is not the only one with a big stake.
So if people(many) like your content they would counter Bernie's downvote by voting for you...Is my point clear here?
Okay, let me put it bluntly, not so many people like your content as seen from the comments on Twitter and Hive!!
This is not me saying this, it is by reading through the comments.
There is this reply by @acidyo in one of your posts which you need to read again because he personally curates people and he supported you in the past.
I will repeat, the adoption victim card will not help you out here on Hive!!
The people on Hive are not easily fooled or threatened by that line.
Some other people also said that if you do not mind about the rewards, Hive has an option of declining rewards.
If you are not about rewards(which most of us deny) then deny rewards and again they gave you an option of muting Bernie..
I also read a comment by @blocktrades trying to explain to you where you went wrong and you kinda kept sidetracking and playing the adoption victim card again!
I was surprised @blocktrades took his precious time and tried explaining everything to you until he kinda gave up.
This below is one of his comments where he clearly said that people who were initially sympathetic with you changed stance!
You can read @Blocktrades replies on Cryptofinally recent posts here
One thing you can do is to buy Hive Power Up and counter Bernie's downvotes because he seems not to stop soon.
In one of the comments, Bernie seems not to be stopping now until you start creating content that deserves rewards!
"She's going to receive downvotes until she actually does something for Hive to deserve the rewards she's been handed in the past."
Another comment I read from one of your posts is that you seem to make Hive a link dumping ground!!
People claim that your posts are full of links, some even claim that 2/3 of your posts are links.
I checked out and wow, this post here had a load of referral links
Other people also say that you do not interact with the community!
If you are new here on Hive and you are reading this, people will observe you for a while and understand your intentions.
If you want to grow on Hive, you need to interact with the community, people claim that @cryptofinally only replies on her posts.
In conclusion, Hive is a different place and the rules that apply on Traditional social media like Twitter or Facebook do not apply here.
Hive is a really different place and again it involves money.
People will not allow me to earn rewards on something they see doesn't deserve it.
So my polite advice to cryptofinally(if she will see this anyway) is to follow the rules here or leave!!!
You cannot threaten people here, these folks have gone through a lot.
If Justin Sun failed, then who are you?

I think you are being an attention whore and a cunt by saying this.. I'll be using all my accounts to downvote your stuff from now on to see if your opinion remains the same when it's you.
(I will not do that, but it would serve you right)
You might have said I am an attention whore and cunt to maybe get on my nerves, but unfortunately I overgrew that!!.
I will be writing a post tomorrow about that btw.
Why would I a mature person get hurt or bitter because someone on the internet under a pseudo name said I am an attention whore??
People should remember that they have the power to get annoyed or not, the power is with in us sir/madam.
So sir/madam develop the maturity within yourself to resist external forces from annoying or pissing you off, it is good for your health.
On the side of downvotes, I have been on Hive/Steem for 3 years now and I know how the system works!
I should not whine because someone downvoted me, in fact if you read some of the comments below, someone downvoted thi post just after it had gained $1.15 to zero!!
I will not whine or curse you or anyone who downvotes me, because I know this is how Hive works....and again by you downvoting me does not mean that you hate me, I guess it means you disagree with what I said at that/this particular time.
Remember the power is within you to decide on how you feel sir/madam.
I totally agree with that. We all choose.
If rewards are removed and unpleasant comments are made, what is the motive to use the site though?
I don't think it is mental abuse or she should sue, get someone fired or commit suicide.
But it is rude, it is bad for adoption and I can't understand why you think she should attempt to just move past it when everyone is doubling down.
I do totally agree everyone has a choice how to respond. Anyway, best of luck.
The unpleasant comments can be ignored by muting the abuser if over growing through the abuse is hard.
It is not easy to easily over grow abuse to the extent of being immune to them,but it is possible.
The rewards being removed can be counted by other people upvoting your content, she had many people who used to upvote her, but they stopped after realizing that she might have needed just attention or just whining(go and read the comments on her post, people tried)
It is true it is rude for someone to hurt abusive words at you,but it is how the world is sir/madam.
The world is fucked up, the more we remember that the we cannot control what what will be said(replied) to us, but only control how we respond the more we shall live a happy life!!
The only person we can control is us and not the world especially on social media.
Thanks for replying back.
Agreed and it seems her choice is the same as mine.
Adoption while that is allowed seems unlikely.
You all have every right to do what you want and accept what you want...
And others have the right to say, yeah, I don't wish to tolerate that behavior or invest in that project and move on. As thousands before have done and will continue to do.
You are right, it's just a matter of choices.
You attention seeking bimbo cunt, should just hush about it though, cause you aren't helping. :) kidding, but also not.
We just have to remember that the conditions will not always be right for us.
Mainstream social media like Facebook and Twitter have similar behaviors, but they have insane number of users.
Damn, after so many weeks not really I gotta admit, I missed it's drama more than I thought, had to binge read the whole saga after which I agree with your points.
P.s: it really does take a lot of love and dedication for a platform to have not upvoted(liked) a single thing in the 2 years you been on it.
Where have you been bro, I know how you feel about your last sentence hahaha.
I have been there and probably still there.
This was/is my first post after almost a year and I will try to be consistent this time.
I'm still here, just not so much and mostly playing splinterlands, + a break is needed sometimes and writers block been at it's finest but like you, will work on it.
Hhhhh yeah I remember back when you used to post daily, sometimes more than once per day.
And to that effect, hive on!
Great post, she is just looking for atention I guess.
P.S. she just left.
Thanks for the update and I like how people are happy in the comments section that she left hahaha.
Very well written, and great points by all. Hive is sink or swim. There are no life rafts. Work your butt off, play well with others, and try to ignore the things you cannot control.
Hive is a tough place for hustlers hehehe.
It teaches us to ignore things that might annoy us and we move on.
Very well written sir.
You guys are so toxic its crazy.
It is not toxic, this post had $1.15 until @meesterboom downvoted hehehe because he disagreed with the post and it is now at 0.01!!
Am I supposed to whine because he downvoted it, no??? This is how Hive works.
I guess he downvoted because he disagreed with my point of view and not that he hates or targets me!!!
This is how Hive works if someone else here thinks my post here makes sense, they will upvote it and if many disagree, they will downvote it.
It is just how Hive works.
Dear sister @cryptofinally. I have observed a few of your posts and comments and of others re. Bernie downvoting you.
I humbly suggest considering the possibility that all which appears is a potential learning experience, and all that appears is a projection from within, from the one true self. One could imagine that everything one sees, hears, smells etc is more like a reflection in a mirror, and if one finds it upsetting then it is a clear indication that it is reflecting an inner upset, and is appearing in this way to guide one to feel this upset unconditionally, without the story, to feel the bodily sensations without reacting. Reacting (doing anything whilst feeling upset, basically) is like cleaning the mirror in an attempt to clean a mark from the face seen in the mirror.
If one is able to do this consistently, the inner tensions (or emotional blockages) gradually relax, so the upsetting situations are no longer necessary.
This does require humility, as the ego will always react to defend. So a step back from doing, instead just being (we are human beings after all, not human doings) will allow time to feel the cause of the apparent upset.
Hope this helps.
A most excellent guide to practice this and to become more aware of feelings and how they create our reality and to help remember true self, is The Presence Process by Michael Brown. I can share a pdf or request.
Namaste

She will not read this because she already left Hive
yeah, perhaps not. Yet she might still check in. Perhaps I'll tweet her
There are high chances she will keep checking on the comments hahaha
Projection. Instagram is the platform for you.
This is your sad, pathetic life.
I feel sorry for people like you.
Thanks for appreciating.
Very much this! You can tell by her avatar and attitude, she is not used to taking criticism: only used to getting trolled.
Solid analysis mate! She came in just before the steem drama and got a lot of traction on twitter supporting hive against the TRON Then when thing settled she just reposted her other platforms content on HIVE and got auto votes
She never upvoted, delegated or tried to get involved with any projects! All it was was a reposting gig for some auto votes! She didn’t even comment back to anyone who supported her content in the past both on steem and hive
Then someone pointed this out, bernie flagged her and suddenly it’s a whole thing lol! If this was any other person it wouldn’t have been a big deal but just coz the person has some followers on twitter we must bend over
I just think it’s hilarious how no one wants to Own up and be honest but yeah it’s in the past now
Don’t worry brother about the drama I’m also in Africa, we HIVE for different reasons
Well written brother.
You got great writing talent!
Thanks for appreciating, I have been having writer's block, but will resume tomorrow and be consistent.
Writing everyday completely rewires your brain.
Consistency is essential for success in any area. There is no way to get around the fact that mastery requires a volume of work.
Looking forward to thriving on Hive together
The whole drama is stupid.
She does do a lot for Hive even if she doesn't engage alot, she talked to Charles Hoskinson about Hive how is that not a good thing?
She has done more for Hive than a lot of other users like me and you.
Also, having a big stake in the wallet doesn't mean you should get bigger votes.
I am bigger than smaller users, but a lot of smaller users gets bigger upvotes than me because their content is better than mine.
