I agree that HIVE can be a crab bucket.

I have done the math on the various DPoS blogging chains of what it would take to end up with a sizeable amount of power in the system and what that would mean.

I'm #22 on DTube currently. I was in the top 10 a year ago.

That play came with a decent amount of risk for various reasons and that ecosystem is hanging on by a thread right now. One of the issues being that the Proposal system doesn't actually work there. Enough people have disengaged that you just have to self fund any sort of project there at this point.

People questioned why I was buying so much DOGE in 2018 and 2019. I just knew. It made more sense for me to stack a big position there than to stack HIVE. I think a lot of that plays true today. There is a lot of competition out there.

HIVE is the most well built out ecosystem in crypto but the advertisement push just wasn't there and if people didn't get the love they went elsewhere.

At the end of the day a lot of people on HIVE are content with collecting a certain amount of rewards and are riding the fractured pieces of the tail end of a comet.

The other day I legit came up with about 4 of my best ideas I have ever had in crypto. Harvesting revenue streams from living memes and an advanced psyop was just one of them. Jimmy likes crypto.
