I can back these claims and I will go further to tag Mr @birdinc. Apparently @birdinc is going around lying about the role he played in the beginning when Hive was getting listed. @birdinc has been trying to start his own Steem-based chain since last year (made apparent with his recent push for his Steem-based fork he and others are working on).

@birdinc is a nice guy and I don't hate him, but he didn't do anything in regards to actually doing work getting the Hive token listed. He claims he sent emails or reached out to people, but when the time came for the work, he dumped it on other people as he fancied himself the one that established the connections in the first place (he wasn't).

Hive doesn't need ex-SteemIt employees behaving as if they are working for SteemIt. Hive needs people that are willing to CLOSE THE DEAL and not just drop it in the lap of others. I would not have made this post if not for @birdinc going around Discord spreading bullshit and misinformation.

@birdinc, why not just focus on Blurt and getting that shit-token listed on exchanges? If Blurt is not listed on Binance/Huobi/Bittrex by the end of this year, can we use that as evidence that you also would have likely failed to get Hive listed were it up to you alone? If you get Blurt listed on Binance/Huobi/Bittrex I will go ahead and give you 1,000 HIVE for that accomplishment (should be worth about $50k by then I suspect).

Also, I am not sure you would have been able to accomplish a SINGLE listing without having the legal documentation that concluded that EOS tokens (and by extension Hive tokens) are not a security. I obtained that document, and I provided that document. That would have been a good task for a business connections guy to perform imo. I am just a developer yet I am able to more effectively dig of legal documentation to support Hive efforts than an ex-SteemIt business lead?

If you had a problem with @justineh proposal, why didn't you come make a public comment about it? Why hide your tail between your legs and go snake around in private chats spreading misinformation? Is it because there are very little people that can dispute your claims in private chats? Is it because there are a LOT of people that can dispute your claims in public? One must wonder.

Finally, @birdinc, you advised us all to pay $150k from the DHF for Huobi listing alone. The very same listing @justineh closed on for $0. You wanted to pay $150k. AND you wanted to receive income from the DHF when it was clear you were not closing any listings.

To add context, you were admonished by @justineh, and me, and others, when you went to create the earlier proposal because IT WAS TOO EARLY and you were just trying to put your name forward to earn some kind of favor with the community that were not privvy to the exchange talks going on. Despite me disagreeing with your proposal, I still GAVE you 10 HBD (you couldn't even afford 10 HBD to make a fucking proposal?) so you can make the proposal and get stakeholder voting opinion. Did your proposal ever get funded?

Come on @birdinc. Quit hiding being private chats. Let's air this in the open.
