This is a better trend than the other options in my opinion. Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean it's worse.
We saw this with @engrave doing the work first and asking for funding after, with the amazing job they did with Hive Ledger integration.
I'd argue most of the other versions have failed to keep their promises or milestones/goals they attempted to hit, although I'm not gonna get into which ones here.
But 6 years? I am a small fish so won’t have any impact on it being funded or not, but seeing HurtLocker power down over this is interesting. I get his take, it feels like a cash grab due to the bad place hive is at right now. 6 years back pay? This is just not going to be supported by most. Again I respect ur take, I just think the timing and amount of years going back comes off tone deaf personally.
I'm not going to comment on Hurt and I don't think it's fair to bring his activity to affect conclusions about this proposal. Similar to how many keep pointing towards the price and inflation in an effort to halt development and funding of projects, it's not the way to go about things imo.
Projects should be self-funded. If they can't afford development, electricity, or a server, they simply shouldn't exist. They're bad projects.
They shouldn't be looking for DHF (Direct Funding). They should be looking for investors who will risk money on the project and lose if it fails.
Arcade Colony went bust, I lost money, where's the DHF to back my investment?
BTW since we are screenshotting my powerdown 😅 I am not powering down the TradFi Curation account.
Ideally I would like to leave that project on here even if I step away from my main account to do other things outside of Hive.
@geneeverett i changed my mind on this one. Doing my taxes on tradfi-curator is a lot of work and it's just not worth the time based on the rewards it gets.
That power down won't have any serious impact imo but I just wanted to be transparent on this.
Yeah I didn’t think it seemed worth it.
I hear ya 100%
I honestly just don’t have the energy anymore.
I’m an all or nothing kind of guy.
If I don’t have the energy to deal with something, then I am not 100% emotionally invested.
If I’m not 100% emotionally invested, it’s just not for me anymore.
So I still think Hive has a lot of potential. I stand by that.
But also I don’t have the energy to deal with this.
I would like to get back to some of my other hobbies.
I wish everyone on Hive the best and I hope people here do have success in the future.
I know I overreacted to the tradfi thing, but real talk, I appreciate the conversations and interaction we had prior. I mean that!
I totally get it brother, I am seeing I think same things u are, I just already sold most my hive at .40 cents plusJanuary 2025. So frankly I’m only powering down my last 5K as protest. You are good people! Cheers! & good luck in next investment!
It's ok on the over reaction thing. Hive gets pretty emotional at times lol.
I thought it was best if you and I just had space for a while. Seems like that worked 😃
Thanks I appreciate it man. I’ll always take any luck that is sent my way.
I believe that too, even if we get into below 1 cent... having potential doesn't mean that it will blow up ...I like to believe that humanity isn't ready for Hive =P
@engrave? OK. This @crimsonclad did nothing for HIVE only presenting herself at HIVEfest. Just being honest.
Maybe honest based on what you know but not honest based on the truth.
Bad PR...
