I published the data because it is available on chain, just hard to access for most people. :)

People are free to do whatever they want with their own money, but if people whine and complaint about people taking hive off the table, and they're on the list, well... that's a self-own. :)

I knew I'd be "high" on the list (top 1000) - but I know (and have published the fact) that I took quite a bit of HP / HIVE off the table when I got rid of my Splinterlands assets.

I have of course taken "profits" from hive, and purchased camera equipment, but used that to in turn create more content that got published on HIVE. :)

Now I am of the mind that any value I get from hive is in the social and interaction side - it isn't even worth my time selling / powering down the existing hive.

I am here now for community.
