RE: Are HIVE Whales a Cabal?

in #hive14 days ago

You know, I've heard something similar, or maybe it's the same. I once heard a YouTuber say he wasn't going to be on Hive anymore because it was a cult. I didn't really understand what he meant. I still don't.

But in my country, a clique is a group of friends who support each other, and only each other. It's like an exclusive group. But I think everyone is needed on Hive, both the big and small members. That's what my social studies and history teacher tells me: "A society needs its citizens, from the boss to the lowest-ranking employee, because together we build a country." And I suppose Hive is like that. That's my opinion.

Sort:  

I mean HIVE has a lot of fragmented communities all over the world. When people say it's a cult, it is patently false. I don't think the whole HIVE has a consensus on anything.

We do need more big accounts and people willing to invest. If whales were treated better here I think more people would power up and HIVE price would be a lot higher.

I know quite a few people on HIVE that could powerup more than I have, but these people do not want to powerup because it just gets so crazy sometimes lol.

What motivated you to invest in Hive?

I have made posts trying to articulate "why." It is a hard thing for me to articulate in writing without hearing me actually speak about it. The text itself does not do how I feel justice.

There is NOT a single reason why I am buying HIVE right now AND my beliefs tend to be a bit contrarian in nature.

A concise answer to your question is:

  1. I believe HIVE is mispriced because people treat it like a poopcoin.
  2. I have people I have known here for years. They are not my "friends" but I do care about them.

I love those concise answers and hope to see more detail in the future (when the words come to you😆). It's interesting to see someone investing so much in Hive in these times. Almost all the whales come from the other blockchain.

Kudos to the other whales for putting up with all the nonsense for so long. 😅

People act like downvotes give leprosy and Blurt is a paradise when we all know Blurt is dark, wet, and scarry.

I am just speculating on the Blurt part based on the users they send over here to recruit.

The price is very low, and people that do believe Hive will recover from this expect they are buying a dip, not a crash. I have heard people say they were waiting for the price to drop to <$.10 just so they could buy it.

It did drop to $.09 and then recovered to $.11 temporarily, and now it's back down at $.10, so at least it's not at it's all time low. I've been here a while and seen token prices rise and fall. There are still $M's in the DHF, and BT will do what it takes to get the price back up enough to prevent a complete collapse of Hive so he can continue to mine that money.

This isn't the end, even in the worst case scenario, but it might be the beginning of the end.

I have found it depends how you say it. It's difficult to articulate things you feel very strongly about without resorting to ad hominems, insults, or exaggerating things until you're making claims without any evidence, and these will certainly get you DV'd.

It's really better to only post about things after you've had time to gather your thoughts, any citations you might need to prove your point, and allow your anger to cool enough where you can speak without being unnecessarily rude or insulting. I have argued with many whales and consensus witnesses, but because I refrain (mostly) from making accusations I can't prove, don't call anyone names my mother wouldn't call me, and if I make a mistake I do my best to own up as quickly as I can, I have only rarely been flagged for my opinions. BPC3 is basically restating a comment I made to Hurt a day or two ago, and appending an ad for Blurt to it. I don't mind my words being cleaned up and stated more effectively. I stand by what I said, and as I pointed out, imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I do not recommend Blurt for reasons well known to Blurt users, with whom I have discussed them. It does bother me to have my words added to a Blurt Ad. Please indicate that the points I made were not made to advertise Blurt, if you have any influence over BPC3.

I have treated you with the same honesty and manner of speech that I do any whale, witness, or other user on Hive, and it isn't fair to mistreat me in return for my good treatment.
