I just wonder if people think I'm milking the system because of recent withdrawals. I had emergencies financially and had to sell some Hive. I really didn't want to though.

Excuse me for my interfering ... but this is something I encounter very often in remarks of Hivers justifying their account handling.

That in itself is quite strange. But it is also the logical consequence of transparent bank accounts. A precursor of social control, like if the whole world knew what fiat money you had in your bank, for example, the saleslady in the supermarket would say to you: "The fact that you are buying such an expensive bottle of wine today is not in proportion to what you have in the account. And besides, I see that you haven't even paid your child support for this month."

Wondering what people think about you "exploiting" your account here is nobody's business who is not personally related to you and where certain dependencies exist. It's one thing, for example, to be angry with your ex because he's stingy in terms of spending on the child you share, but is flying off on holiday next week. Nevertheless, neither the ex-husband nor the ex-wife knows exactly how much money is in the account. Bank secrecy has its justification.

No one is in anyone else's shoes and may therefore refrain from making any judgements about what someone does with their finances (unless you are in a personal relationship, of course).

I don't see the whole hive experience as entirely positive, it's quite capable of setting people up to see themselves as individual commodities, preemptively justifying how much they spend, how often they publish and excusing their own involvement if it's "below or above average". It may well contribute to isolation, just as it can of course contribute to coming together.
