HIVE is different from anywhere else I have seen. Take the traditional stock market, you buy shares and then wait for your dividends which may be paid twice a year or sometimes by the quarter.
The more you buy, the greater the dividend yield, so long as the company doesn’t go down the shitter, it does happen.
As a new user to HIVE, you can expect dividends even if you buy ZERO shares. Where else in the world offers this…, tell me.
If you don't believe me, look at the account of @grindle who has invested NOTHING into HIVE besides his time. The value of this account is $10,833.60, all for just posting stuff.
How awesome is that?
It’s taken him 5 years to get there, but time is money and HIVE is a proof-of-brain concept.
He's never taken anything out, no powerdowns, no HBD extraction though I have advised him to do so several times so he knows this is not pure monopoly money.
For all purposes, he's the model 'free' account.
… but this is not normal.
We are here for the money, and that’s a fact; I know I am. If you disagree, then start posting your shit on Reddit, you will get a lot more responses but sadly no tokens.
Following on from the post generated by @solominer, @azircon and @galenkp I wrote a script that highlighted THIRTY accounts that are currently being voted by my BOT and are powering down.
While I am generally happy to share my code with anyone, the code for my voting BOT will never be published as it contains a lot of functions to determine the weight of the vote and could be exploited, presuming your account is within the list of accounts that are white-listed.
Call me paranoid, I am a cynical non-trusting motherfucker these days.
If I already follow you, you won't be on the BOT list as a portion of my voting is manual.
Over 300 words and this article details very little so far, so here it comes.
According to @azircon's article, it appears there are a lot of milkers on HIVE, that is accounts between 12k and 100k in staked HP and likely even more in the plankton range.
That’s fine, do what you want, HIVE is a free system and you can post, wait for the rewards, send it all to Binance, convert it to fiat, buy the groceries, go to a brothel or even participate in a little BDSM.
Except... I won't be voting for you anymore, and I would advise all the Orca’s to do the same. You bought your shares, and someone else is benefitting from your investment.
What a weird system this is…, but that’s how it is, you vote for others and make them wealthier as well as yourself.
Now let's get back to the THIRTY users out of 327 who could get a vote whenever I fire the voting script up, which is twice a day or so. I could run it 24/7 but electricity is expensive in today's world.
Just NINE out of the THIRTY will be staying on the BOT list as I figure the power-down is reasonable. My stash, my rules and that goes for us all.
Some of these authors are decent, and people I interact with, but they appear to have little interest in HIVE other than taking and some of the reasons are mentioned in the image.
I have little interest in calling people out, do what the fuck you want. That flippant remark appears to say I don’t give a shit anymore. I do care but only about like-minded investors.
...'a truly model account, this is what you need to dream about'...
In the future, I will add more AI to my BOT for determining votes. It's a great exercise in coding and will reward those who are willing to grow their HIVE stakes.
On a more positive note, ...'I am looking for good authors' to replace those recently ejected from the BOT list. Benefits include:
- Free Votes
Yeah, that's about it, did you think you might get paid holidays, insurance and a pension?
Don't be shy, I don't bite and, I will never call you out. If you are not a milking, all-encompassing extractor who can write something worthy then I will give you HIVE support regardless of your HP stash.
