Yeah, the "Lazy Boy Warriors" are always a particularly annoying group of people... who very seldom lift a finger to make a situation better. Very sad. Yeah, politicians are very good at ruining

As a wise man I once knew remarked: "shrouds have no pockets."

Sadly, complainers rarely take action... their only action seems to be getting in the way of those trying to actually fix the problem... almost as if they can't stand the idea of one of the things they

Thanks for stopping by @snook! You're right about the "having to share" bit, for sure. I increasingly get the feeling that a lot of folks just like to draw attention to themselves by keeping

I have a feeling that Hive is probably pretty safe for the time being because it is very "small potatoes" and it isn't really in the public news/eye very much... yet.

It does seem like it is always about people wanting control over resources, assets and whatever. The uber wealthy are never just "investors" in things, they want to control them, as well. And

Hi @cuddlekitten, always nice to see you here!

Yes, that sadly seems quite likely. I have long thought that they will not fight crypto, they will merely infiltrate it and claim that "WalMart Coin" and "American Airlines Coin" is

Sadly, I am also pretty sure we will. Seems to be the way of human beings... a few control everything, and the rest just "go along."

Thanks for the support; I appreciate it!

My condolences. Words are hollow and empty at times like these; I've had dogs and cats pretty much all my life and they all leave their pawprints in our hearts, and in our memories. They become such integral

Happy to support @hivebuzz; the badges are cool and the broad community support he;ps a lot of people stay on task during their early days on Hive. Still working towards some of the more challenging badges!

Thanks for the thoughtful comment @drabs587! What's very interesting and relevant to the whole marketing discussion is your path here, via Splinterlands. I have long believed that the best thing Hive can

Hi @ryzeonline, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment! You're exactly right, money is a "hook" and really nothing more. It's like advertising "free beer and BBQ" to

Happy Birthday Maggie! From all of us here... 18 is a fine age!

Ah well, I guess we'll never see you again... ROFL! Macro is fascinating; been my favorite part of photography for... well, since digital cameras became a thing. And yeah, there's a LOT more to it than

Never heard of him, but that is pretty amazing! On some level, it makes sense, though... we lived in Kenya when I was a kid, and I remember watching the men at a building site across the street put something

How about relative newcomer @consciouscat; she's been very consistent in her three months or so here; big into the "Parkrun" movement in Australia but also posts other kinds of content... good

Sometimes I just feel more and more out of the loop; like I got left behind by the times! There are some beautiful properties there, to be sure but the whole idea of "a million dollar house"

I love your response to this! Berkshire-Hathaway itself is a bit of a dinosaur. Sure, its vast wealth was built on old fashioned "basic materials" but that strategy is going to run its course...
