I actually made that graphic, almost proud of myself.
I'd be even more proud if it didn't have shitcoins on it.
Yes, Shitcoins.
Did I just call HIVE a shitcoin?
Yes.
Seriously, where do we rank on any list for anything right now?
RIGHT NOW.
I know what was done in the past and the things that were accomplished, but where are we right now? Right now, we are ranked lower than the legacy chain that we splintered off of and ran away from with our tail between our legs. Was that a smart move? In hindsight, probably, though a little more thought could have been put into the name and several other aspects, but it is what it is. Community involvement was not a key component to the fork away from STEEM.
Has anything really changed since then?
The price sure has, and so has the active user base.
The graphic above, I put in here to show over the past month, just how much of a peg there has actually been to a dollar. I think the 'stabilizer' is just putting sell pressure on HIVE. But I don't really know a lot when it comes right down to it.
I've thrown my hat in the ring a few times with the hopes I would be heard, but do they really want to listen? No. They (old ninjas and top stakeholders) have their own agenda and it's almost as if they don't want Hive to be a top cryptocurrency, because, it fucking should be.
All the talk I hear about potential and this and that, but where is it? Where is the massive marketing campaign and serious play to be a top blockchain so that actual investors and builders are going to notice and want to set up shop here? Other chains are passing us and getting the paparazzi's attention. If Hive is going to survive, that has to change.
Yes you're seeing that right. STEEM is worth more than HIVE now. It's an abomination of the highest order. But who cares? Let's just keep milking this cow until her tits are so dry that the milk tastes worse than ass butter from a sweaty hippo.
Why do you even care Witty?
I may have bought some HIVE in the past.
Guess that makes me an investor, one of those ones with hopes that I'd see less heads in asses and ball stroking and that the potential everyone keeps mentioning, comes to fruition.
HIVE has dropped almost 80% over the past year. Why? Who is selling so much? Somebody know something we don't? Don't give me that it follows Bitcoin crap anymore, because it doesn't. There is no rhyme and reason that I can see. One thing I can do is rhyme. You already know and one thing I do know, right now, HIVE's lyrics need a lot of work. Oh, and if you happen to be up reading this bullshit, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, because I give two shits.
