ughhhhhhhhh the pain of the "ea" in my name!!! LOL
and yes - i dont mean i ignore... but i do mean I FOCUS (as you so deftly continued to remind people to NOT lose that focus)
at some point - you just have to know when watching is just a waste of time. hehehe
i just posted... and some of what you're saying here - you'll see exactly in the "personal note" at the top of the post - i feel you dawg. lol
and I love Hive -i love being here. and I love building here - but I also have a place that is my own. under my control. that is not able to be affected by outside forces.
for me - that is what i needed. after watching 3 of my projects die with a platform when IT imploded - I said nope -never again.
so i'm here - and i'm invested as much as i can be. but i'm all in for my own project that will undoubtedly help Hive as it grows - but will also be protected from an self-induced implosions. i think its the balance i was finally looking for. i'm so much better now :)
I've come to expect and can even thrive in the chaos that is a decentralized arena. I don't need control. Those needing control create the issues in most cases. Especially when they don't just up and use what they're in control of, which is themselves, to build something they can be in control of, if that's what they desire. Some of the people that have issues boast about the big projects they have lined up, claiming they'll solve issues, but years later no signs of progress as they sit in the comment sections using the same script eventually leading to the same claims that don't yield results.
I'm glad to hear you're doing what you want, how you want to do it. That's what this is supposed to be about.
