I feel ya 100%. I got lucky and went in huge in early 2021 around a dime where we are now, I bought over 100K and powered it all up, I remember having a $3.50 cent upvote or so, but as soon as we crossed $1.00 I said ok I can power down 20% and I double my investment and keep 80K powered up and it’s house money, but we crossed $3.33 while I had power down going so I kept going and sold 100K for $1.80 average. Kept the 20K I had from Steem days and I said ok that was amazing! So because I made a really good amount I don’t care as much about loosing what I earned since 2021. Ur I gotta be honest, when we pumped to .68 cents a year ago I could tell it was artificial so I again powered down a few weeks and get half out at .40 average plus I sold all my HSBI units at .45 when I saw we were heading here where we are today. I couldn’t just watch it collapse 80% and not prepare, just my personality, it would have annoyed me that I predicted a dime next 18 months and just let my pile loose 80%. All that said my main point is I got value out after insane outta whack moves up so I can handle what I have now dumping and loosing it. But there is one thing that makes me wanna power down some, just using it to vote that I’m not happy where things are and voting with my value to show that. I think the DHF waste & lack of transparency issues are outta control! I love Hive, but I’m seeing even friends here shill Leo crap that won’t end well and it’s kinda sad. Tribe tokens are not crypto, there gamification tokens that don’t need a blockchain and are mostly second layer . I love tokens that are not “Get Rich Quick buy buy buy” claims. I love ALIVE & PIMP & PIZZA & others!! But BRO & LEO I seriously can’t stand the scammy vibes & it’s clear as day how these projects pay accounts to still & promote & don’t disclose but instead pretend that it’s organic not paid. !PIZZA !ALIVE
Sorry for the long rant, just explaining why I’m concerned about where we are going. Hive can still have a bright future! But there are things that must change!
That's incredibly fortunate that you were able to clearly see the future trajectory, and actually make a profit before it got to the point where we are now. I completely agree with you about the ridiculous DHF funding, especially since it's only a a few whales who actually decide what gets funded and what doesn't. I'm grateful that you appreciate ALIVE, and I'm quite into PIMP and PIZZA too, among a few others. Regarding ALIVE, I'm doing my best to build a sold asset that is worth for people to own. It will take time, but we've made good strides in the year since I've been managing it. I despise scammy, get-rich-quick vibes as well, intensely. No need to apologize, my friend, I understand, and I'm thankful that you took the time to share what you did. Yes, that's my feeling as well, Hive still could have a very bright future, but some very significant things do indeed need to change. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
