A Personal Update
Today I did something I have been considering for quite a while.
I bought more MEME.
I staked more MEME.
And for the first time, I also acquired and powered up over 10,000 Hive Power (HP).
For some people, that might not sound significant.
For me, it represents a statement.
A conviction.
A belief about where decentralized communities are heading.
And more importantly:
A belief that Hive is still massively undervalued relative to what it already is.
Why I Bought More Hive
As many people know, Hive has been through multiple market cycles.
It has seen periods of explosive growth.
It has seen periods of neglect.
It has survived bear markets that destroyed countless other projects.
And yet here we are.
A blockchain with:
Fast transactions
No gas fees
True account ownership
Decentralized social media
Decentralized communities
Multiple active ecosystems
Real users
Real content
Real history
Trading around five cents.
Think about that for a moment.
Hive previously traded above $3.
Today, the entire ecosystem is being valued at a fraction of what many speculative meme tokens reach without having a working product.
That doesn't mean Hive will immediately return to previous highs.
Markets never work that way.
But when I look at risk versus reward, Hive starts looking increasingly attractive.
Especially for people who actually use it.
Why I Increased My MEME Position
Many people know me through Baby Lady.
Many know me through Memes of the Roundtable.
Many know me as Grey Warden.
What some people may not realize is that I have been a supporter of MemeHive for a very long time.
As of today, my account remains:
#1 on the MEME Rich List
With approximately:
18.75 million MEME staked
That position was not achieved overnight.
It came from years of accumulation.
Years of participation.
Years of supporting meme creators.
Years of believing that culture matters.
And today I added even more.
Not because of hype.
Because of activity.
Activity Matters
When evaluating any ecosystem, I don't start by looking at price.
I start by looking at people.
Price can be manipulated.
Volume can be manipulated.
Communities are much harder to fake.
When I visit MemeHive today, I see something encouraging.
The platform is active.
People are posting.
People are curating.
People are earning.
People are engaging.
That matters more to me than temporary price movements.
Because active communities create value.
Dead communities do not.
The Difference Between Speculation and Culture
Crypto often becomes obsessed with numbers.
Price.
Market cap.
Volume.
Charts.
Candles.
Predictions.
But the strongest projects usually have something deeper underneath.
Culture.
Bitcoin has culture.
Hive has culture.
TON has culture.
MemeHive has culture.
Culture creates persistence.
Persistence creates longevity.
Longevity creates opportunity.
That is why I continue paying attention to MemeHive.
Not because I expect a miracle tomorrow.
Because I see builders showing up consistently.
What MemeHive Gets Right
One thing MemeHive understands better than most ecosystems is that memes are not just jokes.
Memes are communication.
Memes are storytelling.
Memes are identity.
Memes are community.
Entire movements begin as memes.
Entire cultures are transmitted through memes.
Entire communities organize around shared symbols.
That is why meme communities often become some of the most resilient communities in crypto.
People stay because they enjoy being there.
Not because they are being paid to be there.
That distinction matters.
Why TON Projects Need Places Like MemeHive
Over the past several months, I have been increasingly vocal about something.
TON projects do not necessarily need to migrate away from TON.
That is not the point.
The point is resilience.
The point is permanence.
The point is building decentralized foundations beneath our communities.
Many meme projects today depend entirely on:
Telegram
X
TikTok
YouTube
Those platforms are useful.
I use all of them.
But they are not owned by the communities building on them.
Algorithms change.
Policies change.
Visibility changes.
Entire communities can disappear from public view overnight.
Hive solves a different problem.
Hive gives communities ownership.
Hive gives communities permanence.
Hive gives communities a place where their content becomes significantly harder to erase.
That is why I believe TON and Hive complement one another so well.
TON excels at community growth.
Hive excels at community preservation.
Together they form something much stronger.
The Baby Lady Example
Baby Lady is perhaps one of the clearest examples of what persistence can achieve.
Almost two years ago:
The original team abandoned the project.
The project collapsed.
Market capitalization fell to approximately $200.
Most people assumed it was over.
Instead:
41.2% of supply was locked
Additional supply was locked by community members
More than 50% of total supply became locked
Baby Lady became a Memes of the Roundtable rugproof project
Verification was secured across TON infrastructure
Listings and information were updated
Content creation continued consistently
Today:
Baby Lady has approximately 109 holders.
And despite having a relatively small holder count, it maintains a market capitalization around $10,000.
Many projects with significantly larger holder counts struggle to achieve the same.
Why?
Because communities matter more than numbers.
Builders Are Starting To Notice
Something interesting has been happening recently.
The conversation is changing.
More people are beginning to ask:
"What happens if centralized platforms stop supporting us?"
"What happens if algorithms stop showing our content?"
"What happens if our communities lose visibility?"
These are important questions.
And increasingly, the answer points toward decentralized social infrastructure.
That is where Hive enters the conversation.
Not as a replacement for everything.
But as insurance.
As a foundation.
As a permanent home.
Why I Powered Up 10,000 Hive
Because I believe in putting my money where my mouth is.
It is easy to talk about decentralization.
It is harder to commit capital.
Today I committed capital.
Not because I know the future.
Nobody does.
But because I see an ecosystem that continues building despite difficult conditions.
And those are often the ecosystems that surprise people later.
Looking Ahead
My goal remains simple.
Continue supporting:
MemeHive
Hive creators
TON communities
Memes of the Roundtable
Baby Lady
decentralized social infrastructure
And continue bringing builders together.
The future belongs to communities that own their foundations.
The future belongs to communities that refuse to disappear.
The future belongs to builders.
And from what I can see:
The builders are arriving.
Final Thought
If you are reading this and you have never explored MemeHive, I encourage you to take a look.
Not because of price.
Not because of speculation.
Because communities are being built there every day.
And communities are ultimately what give every blockchain its value.
The technology matters.
The tokens matter.
The markets matter.
But in the end...
People matter most.
