Are you an author in the hive?
There are only about 5000 of us.
We get half the daily rewards pool.
Every day ~6000 posts are made.
I'm guessing there are fewer accounts than posts, because many people post 2 and more posts per day.
Have you thanked a whale for giving this game value?
They catch a lot of flack because of the centralization of attention this game creates organically.
Without them, none of this is here, or it is radically altered.
Maybe better, maybe not.
Hard to say.
Either way, their share of the available hive power has been going down, but not much.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that their share of the whole is actually going up, but they hide it by not powering up everything they hold.
We should have bought more from them when the price was lower.
Which brings me to the impetus behind today's post.
Since there are less than 6000 daily authors we need to organize.
Why?
Because the newbs are dumping and letting the whales accumulate even moar.
If you are selling the hbd you are getting for posting, and not powering that value up, you are the reason the whales keep the power to themselves.
You are also eating the goose that lays golden eggs.
It might take a year, or two, but if the authors agreed to stop dumping, at the end of an amount of time we might wake up and be in charge of our own destinies.
Together 'the whales' could not push us around any more.
If you have any hopes of 'being rich', you won't get there by spending everything you get.
Sombody could give you a billion dollars and you would spend every penny, because poor people have poor ways.
It's just how life under crapitalism works.
Anarcho-communism is very different.
But, you wouldn't know that because you have only read what the control freaks allowed you to even know about.
For those of you that have been here for a while, it is time for us to step up and take charge of what is happening here.
We do that by joining in the conversations taking place.
They are linked below.
I follow along in some of these rooms, honestly, there is just too much going on for me to keep up with them all, but, if you need me, specifically, dm me, or join The Hive Discordiant Room on element, otherwise, just put your two cents in where you see fit.
Your voice is important.
The centralization that has taken place here happened in this exact manner.
And good that it did, otherwise we wouldn't be here at all.
I think that we need to set cultural norms for the newbs to get used to.
Very few of us remember the n2, it doesn't exist for anybody that got here after hf17, so in the same vein we can set norms that will be just the way things are in the hive.
Now, the proposal is not that we flag the crap out them, although I am not totally opposed to that, either, but that we stop voting rewards to them.
People that are powering down to dump are not helping us reach mass adoption.
They are keeping the price lower than it needs to be.
When hive goes to 10usd, you are going to be blown away by the posting rewards coming your way.
That can't happen as long as there is more sell pressure than buyers can buy up.
As the price rises it is my supposition that more folks will be attracted to us.
I'm not opposed to people using the value we give them to improve their daily lives, I will sell some of what I have been given one day, too, but I am opposed to anybody not saving the 50% that gets powered up from each post.
If you need the money that bad, get a job.
If hive is your only source of income, what did you do before you found us?
Everybody that came here ate the day before without dumping what we give them, they can keep on with that, save what they get here and, at some point, they will be rich, probably.
Nobody gets to foretell the future.
But, math is pretty reliable.
Don't sell what you get for posting, grow richer after every payout.
As this game progresses, the authors will be given 32.5% of the inflation for posting, what we do with it is up to each one of us.
If you want hive to surpass bitcoin, you should probably look for dumpers and remind them that they harm us all by doing that.
Bitcoin will always be controlled by whales, we can escape that in the hive, if we will.
Without rules there is no game.
Just as when the lawmakers break the law there is no law, only a struggle for survival.
