Great! 😀 This cancelled Brazil event exactly shows what you are doing is minimun the misappropriation of funds category, as you asked for money, did NOT pay, but it still disappeared in one of your worthless rabbit hole. The only thing what you doing properly: spending all the money all the time till the last cent, without providing any documentation about that. This silly, small kid kinda posts are obviously just bad jokes, mockings.

Anyway, you don't have to convince me, as I won't ever spend for Hive, maximum shorting it, if it does a spike.

You have to convince the (not coming) newcomer users, developers, investors.

One of their first trip will be led to DAO, and they will see what for you waste money (again, in better case, since you have zero transparency - what you do here is not transparency at all!, just empty words!), they will seee, it is not decentralized in practice, VP is fully centralized, how you always advertise it in your posts and those potential newcomers will immediately leave!!! These are just pure facts, nothing to debate!

With VP, you made DAO even more spectacularly centralized, no competition for funds, few person just giving away DAO money for their buddies - without any kind of accountability.

It doesn't mean marketing can't be worthy, but what you do is very far from marketing.

DAO in practice is not decentralized, money wasted, robbed from DAO, and users can't do anything against that.

And you can agrue against it day and night, people are selling their Hive because of that, too, and leaving it because of your irresponsible behavior, not mine. The result of the million $s wasted through VP is technically ZERO, but you still keep going on with the same crap... :)

You can certainly do it, but don't pretend you are saints, when everybody see what you are doing!, don't look people so stupid that they won't see it, and write off Hive.

So overall, obviously yes, your VP moneygrap is making a lot more damage than benefit.
