For the past 12 months over 500 people have been kidnapped in Nigeria, a few has been murdered and kidnappers have netted in billions in dollars for ransom fees.
So this basically means that more people are now becoming kidnappers since it's ridiculously the highest paying gig recorded video in history. Now I know the next question would be "why isn't the government ending this terrorism?"
yes, I asked the same thing too, and it turns out that they're politicizing the situation. I also know that you might say "oh every politicians are the same" but this isn't true.
So apparently in 2023, a particular person bribed his way into power, and in three years has stolen hundreds in billions of dollars of state resources for himself and continues to give some of that money to people that ensures he remains in power.
So yes, the judiciary is dead, legislature too, all controlled by one man, and so, the man didn't see the need to work or do anything. I know the next question is "since he already has access to all the state resources, why can't he just be human before politician?" Yes, he has the capacity to be, but that's where the tile of this post comes into play.
Apparently he has a history of terrorism, drugs and a lot of criminal tendencies too, and some of this shady past and criminal records are in records and held by the people who are sponsoring this criminality.
So yes, he has the police and military to wipe out each and every terrorist group and organizations, but he won't because they have his records of criminality and he won't let them come to out, because them it jeopardizes his chances of becoming the president for second terms and also and then opening the eyes of the blind people who are supporting him.
Is this similar to what we have in crypto?
Absolutely not. My point is that politics is a horrible game, and in places where power, status and money is involved, politics is always inevitable. In the past 12 months I've seen politics play out in different chains, it's so dirty, rascally and evil and because of that, it has ruined chains, people and projects.
Is this same politics present on Hive?
Crypto, not just Hive
Yes. Reason is, almost everyone knows the problem of Hive, it's obvious and apparent. It's clear to see even by all. Infact some made a proposal to address this, but was immediately shut down.
So why are the people given the governance positions not doing anything to address it? It's simple: blockchain politics.
The excuses has always been. "If we do this, this will happen, or that will happen, we can't risk it" or something similar, but then you begin to wonder if it's because they truly want to enact the necessary changes or it might just cause something that indirectly affect them. It's a format.
I believe that if these guys stops politicizing these issues, a lot could happen: more people will believe in the chain, more people will be confident, a lot more people will see a reason to stay. Good decision won't automatically improve price in a week or a month, all it would do is restore good vibes which you need to keep a place functioning while the market is down.
In reality, politics is why some of them are sitting their hands down, also because their witness positions are not moving, and this means there are no competition over who replaces who. You can tell that a lot of people loves this blockchain, many cannot just wait for things to improve or get better.
