That's an interesting question. Not sure what a good hivian is or should do. But I do try to add value to the chain, try to write decent posts (I'll admit some are better than others), try to support new dapps arriving at the chain, try to support other people who I do think do have the same mindset.
I do think that Hive is a collection of all kind of small circles, all trying to get attention, interact and build something. Regardless if is a new dapp or a reputation for yourself on Hive.
What I should do better, is to cast my votes more divers, reach out to new people and place more genuine comments. Because we all like comments. I even like comments more than upvotes, because that is (should be) the prove that people do read what I wrote and have an opinion about it.

Currently trying to support a new sports community on Hive, we will see how that goes. And I do know then when I do write about sports, the amount of votes I do get will decrease, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to take. Because the more divers Hive is, the better it is for all Hivians. To bad we don't have Hive while who do support sports. But it is what it is.

Cheers,
Peter

I think sports on Hive has a lot of potential. I think it is just one of those things that has not gotten a lot of love on Hive. Obviously most of our users are crypto enthusiasts first so the amount of users interested in sports is relatively small.

That being said, if you have some posts about sports and a lot of engagement I do think sports on Hive has the potential to get a lot of traction because there is not many people talking about Hive in a serious way right now. Sports curation project could would help too. People tend to go where the votes are lol.

I agree with you on comments. I haven't been leaving enough comments myself and need to get back to doing that. Upvoting comments makes a big difference with how much engagement someone gets too!

There is a sports community. But what drives the posts is the curators' voting. If people see a lot of upvotes on trashy posts, they'll start posting about that in search of votes. No author likes not getting any upvotes on their posts. If they see votes in a community for something in particular, they try posting it, and if they get upvotes, they keep posting. Users could post a maximum of two posts a day at best; otherwise, they'd be looked down upon, so they don't want to risk going unvoted.

Apparently we're now best buddies according to a certain spammer. News to me. I hate posts with A.I. slop as the image. Upvoting anyway just to annoy the spammer, and because the text body is alright, I guess.

Ahh man. You think the image is AI slop? I really liked this one. I usually make a couple of different pictures with AI before I land on a specific one. I thought this one was really cool!

I am sorry you think the text body is just alright. If there is anything you recommend I change I am open to feedback!

I just have a deep aversion to AI imagery as produced by pretty much every popular engine out there. Uncanny valley? Aesthetics? I don't know.

A hivian is a lot of things, can be a trader, a developer, a blogger, a gamer... There are a lot of faces of the same coin

A good one, I guess is one that doesn't cause harm

I have the feeling one of the big problems, and that's the reason for the low price, is that it's just too easy to earn hive... Every day people get hive for 'free' just posting or commenting, but on the other hand there is no mechanism that burns hive, so the supply keeps going up and up endlessly... It's like on games likes risingstar, you can climb for free, farm tokens endless and it's a win-win for everyone, result token has no value... Hive is the same, everyone wins, no one loses, and that's the problem, there has to be someone that loses (aka sees his hive burned somehow) to keep the balance, like on trading, for one that wins one has lost

I have a different perspective on this. There are zero sum trades that require winners and losers and then there are mutually beneficial trades where both people win.

For example, I think investing in stocks are mutually beneficial trades because if you are the buyer you get some stock and if you are the seller you get some cash. Win win.

Option contracts are zero sum trades. There is 1 winner and 1 loser.

Most of crypto is zero sum trades. I think Hive "can" be one of the exceptions but I want to put an emphasis on "can."

In my opinion, Hive can be a mutually beneficial trade if people are investing in the ecosystem vs trading the token. There is a difference between trading and investing.

So it really just depends on what the average stakeholder is doing. Not all stakeholders but stakeholders on average. In my opinion anyways. 😅

Hmm but in stocks there's still a winner and a loser, it's just more intricated... you buy at a price and sell at an other price, if you sell at lower price, you lost the difference, if you sell at higher that difference is still coming from someone else pocket

Oh yea, trading and investing is totally different, no doubt on that

I keep trying to respond but then restart my comment because the answer gets really long and confusing. I have done this a few times now so instead I am going to go drink a beer and eat a cheese burger 🤣

hahaha at full stomach might be easier to write

Hi, your point is CORRECT.
I'm finally reading something technical and intelligent!
Unfortunately, Hive is nothing more than a next-generation pseudo-Ponzi scheme, disguised as the old American dream.
Let me explain: the author of the post, who tries to be seen publicly as a "CORRECT USER," is nothing more than a "system profiteer," which you specifically highlight in your comment where you say: "It's easy to earn money on Hive."
Exactly, but only for these PEOPLE.
You should know that the author of this post is one of the many accounts and/or multiple accounts who enjoy damaging the reputations of thousands of users and more, with the now-famous DOWNVOTE BOMBING technique.
This technique, used by many PEOPLE like this one, such as Neoxian, Geneverett and his MULTIACCOUNTS, TheMarkyMark, and countless other accounts and multi-accounts, especially WITNESSES, who have controlled this system since the beginning, through downvote bombing, is ILLEGAL. We remind EVERYONE that this practice and other practices used systematically, automatically, and in a coordinated manner, damaging the reputation of not only users, curators, and commentators, is a CRIME!!!
I want to emphasize this precaution, because these PEOPLE are still unaware of these technical and legal aspects.
We also recall the various self-votes between their accounts and those of their friends. I've even seen the "bosses" from above generate $100 in friends' posts with one click several times.
FORTUNATELY, everything is documented and visible in public records; other users have made extensive posts and investigations using forensic techniques.
These same people are then seen together at various "meetings" that spread the word about HIVE.
A careful analysis of many accounts reveals many suspicious transactions from account X to account Y, automatic and systematic.
To accounts with a reputational value of 25 or to multiple accounts.
Have you ever wondered where ALL the proceeds stolen from the creators (DOWNVOTED) end up? Obviously, this also means the proceeds NEVER acquired by the VOTING curators of those posts, and many of the systematically silenced commenters, even with multiple accounts imposed from above, even created on the same day, giving them impressive voting power.
The same voting power they will use to maintain the positions of the WITNESSES, always the same WATCHMANS.
Furthermore, the systematic, automatic, and continuous use of the FRAUDULENT downvote bombing system has many aspects, not only those listed above, but also a definitive silencer and censor.
In fact, if a user with a reputation of 56 (using my example) is downvoted using this practice from above, not only is their reputation (very short) nullified, which is difficult to recover for at least the first 5 years, but automatic procedures (ad hoc blacked out) are even triggered, where posts, comments, etc. are blacked out and not visible in traditional searches.
Furthermore, in some cases, the ability to post photos in the comments is also blocked.
People like the blog author enjoy passing themselves off as the darlings of this system, but they NEVER tell the truth.
The same truth that many users have always demanded from the beginning and have often suffered, including documented acts of harassment, bullying, denigration, racism, etc.
All these documented acts, promptly reported publicly by users over the years, have been snubbed at ALL levels, from the fake controllers (hivewhatchers, etc.), the latter being the primary cause of some of these illegal acts (several are publicly documented on Hive), to the witnesses (not all, obviously), who enjoy showing who's in charge.
The author of this post is certainly one of the few holders of Hive's master keys.
But since he seems so good-natured, not revealing what he actually does, why don't you ask him who's behind the Hive Foundation? Given that it's one of the very few foundations in this sector where the founders are unknown? Maybe he's part of it?
Also, why don't you do some simple research by analyzing the profiles of these PEOPLE? You'd be shocked to see the cryptographic operations and constant movements, given that you say it's easy to make money on Hive, perhaps only for a small group of "friends" in the "circle." Certainly not for those who ask technical/legal questions that, even today, after 5/6 months, no one has EVER provided an answer.
Let's remember that front-end providers are part of this circle. We hope that at least ALL OF THESE providers declare their income to the tax authorities and, above all, issue regular invoices when services are paid for. Remember that throughout the HIVE system, users/customers pay for services to third parties, perhaps always managed by the same PEOPLE. Please, let's not act like those who knew nothing about ALL this, moralizing "PEACE and LOVE" with inclusive NLP buzzwords like HIVIAN, communities of happy people, and bullshit like that, hiding the truth, especially when it's imposed from above by these characters who harm users in an ILLEGAL and COWARDLY way, only to then run away like SEWER RATS when the authorities come to carry out their checks.
Time will help us!

Ps. I hope you're not one of the many multi-accounts created to auto-respond to these increasingly frequent posts from above, to keep those four people still holding their eyes closed thanks to the votes of these CHARACTERS in check!
Have fun READING THEM, because sooner or later, as happens with all SCAM projects, they'll be the first to run away when the authorities carry out their first checks. @condividisulweb

> token has no value

Media of exchange have no value when no one wants them, and they can't be exchanged. That hasn't quite happened yet to Hive, because there are still people here. There's fewer people every month, and this is why the token has progressively less value. There are reasons for Hive's terrible user retention, and the primary amongst them is the tiny fraction of the inflation that makes it to plebs. We don't need new users that we will just lose. We need to improve the retention of the users we have, and that will require enabling them to attain more Hive.

The KE ratio falsely implicates plebs in the problematic dumping of tokens. If I dump $100 worth of Hive on the market (which I have never ever) it would be ~5% of my holdings. This would impact my KE ratio, which is already above 1 despite I have never sold a single token. However, if a whale dumps $1000 of Hive on the market it would be an insignificant fraction of their holdings, and would not impact their KE ratio significantly. The KE ratio is deceptive, and misleads people to believe folks with high KE's are problematic for Hive.

They are generally not. Whales dump almost all the Hive that hits the market, some tens of $'s every month. For them these are paltry sums, and they do not significantly impact their KE. Last week Holozor posted a list of the top people that have dumped Hive on markets. Almost none of them had KE's over 2.

Tokenomics is a large part of Hive's weaknesses, and it is those with the tokens that manage tokenomics. It's not the UI, it's not plagiarism, spam, or scams. It's avarice above all else that is dumping the price and shedding users. It always has been.

HIVE will never be perfect. so am I.. So i guess I am a good fit to become a HIVIAN?😇

> Own your mistakes and move on

Luv this one..!

Lol! I think you are already are a Hivian. You have been here for a while!

> Luv this one..!

Thanks man! I think it is important to learn from mistakes and then leverage that new knowledge to become better and make less mistakes in the future.

> Lol! I think you are already are a Hivian. You have been here for a while!

lol.. guess i am going to stick with this account as long as i am alive. I hope it just wouldn't get compromised.

> Thanks man! I think it is important to learn from mistakes and then leverage that new knowledge to become better and make less mistakes in the future.

Yeah. Its always been great how mistake teach a person. Better than some of the teachers here in our country. lol. [IMAGE: https://media.tenor.com/z8OzpIrzOCoAAAAC/shrek-reaction.gif]

„Hive is an ecosystem of people that SHOULD care about the platform.“

Well said, Hurt. And I really like the thumbnail pic! That‘s looks like adventures, quests and treasures to capture. And to stand your ground. Here on Hive. 💪🏻🧡

Have a great weekend!

Thanks! I really enjoyed making this picture with AI. The first few I made were not so good but I finally landed with one that has a fantasy theme 😊

I mostly picked the fantasy theme because Hive really is like an adventure. Also I am nerd and love fantasy stuff LOL

I also like a good fantasy story. 🤝🏻

It's exactly like this on this platform, when there is earning here, managing everything is the biggest task. If the prices are not merged, then people will stop working on this platform.

Yes Hive requires a lot of balance between earnings and good management. Ultimately I think it is the same in a business context. For example, if a business is only focused on earnings and not the longterm vision, the business eventually fails.

The only reason that is a bad analogy is because Hive can not fail in the same way a business would. Like even if the token because super cheap that doesn't stop the platform from working it just means people can buy more HP for less $s.

It is absolutely true that when the price drops so much, people will use this platform even less because they are not getting as much money back as the host is making in creating a post.

You worry too much about the hive.

I'm not worried about the price of the hive. BTC will eventually reach a million dollars, and Hive should go up.
I have $2 due to be cashed out in the next 7 days, and I don't think it will even cover the cost of the electricity I use while I'm in the Hive ecosystem.
I have no desire to leave the hive, so I won't worry about the price of Hive, the rewards pool, or the DHF.

> I'm not worried about the price of the hive. BTC will eventually reach a million dollars, and Hive should go up.

I think this is only true if the ecosystem has more exposure to Bitcoin. I think the main reason we did not see a massive alt coin season is because Bitcoin Treasury Companies were the big shiny object this bull market.

If Hive had more BTC swap pools that could help 🤷‍♂️

Also, generally speaking, I think there needs to be a reason to buy Hive outside of just getting more Hive. Like that’s a weird reason to buy something.

Like most people buy BTC now because they assume it will go up in value overtime. So people will buy BTC until that stops being true.

I’m not sure what the answer is, but I really think we need more reasons to buy Hive and that will solve a lot of the price issues.

I lowered my price because there are more Hive sellers than Hive buyers. Who's selling Hive?

Them that have the most of it.

Who knows man.

I wish we had one of these charts but for Hive though 😄

Better to force Elon to wear a Hive t-shirt

I think part of it is the fact that we actually invest in the platform versus it just being something we use like Facebook and the other Web 2.0 offerings.

Yea that makes a big difference for sure.

And because Hive has an ecosystem, it is inherently more complex than just buying stock or something.

Exactly!

Yes, I had heard about the cult thing, and thank goodness I didn't pay any attention. Here I am, a Hive member... hehehe, I hadn't thought about that, about what we call ourselves here, and it reflects the sense of belonging to something, which, as I infer from your reading, is something we're building and that matters to us.

And it's very true, there are many here who don't care about what happens because maybe they're just enjoying the moment, but others are building, and I want to be a part of that and see how big Hive will become because I'm sure there are more of us who see the great potential Hive has: a unique platform, a strong community that can achieve great things... long live the romantics and dreamers... hehehe, I'm joining in.

And I firmly believe that learning from mistakes is a great virtue, and moving forward takes courage. Let's keep building, Mr. Potato of Hive.

I apologize, the translator sometimes writes crazy things, I don't know about this time...hehe

> long live the romantics and dreamers... hehehe, I'm joining in.

Thanks for joining 😆

Normally I’m not a big fan of hype trains but we have waaaaay too much pessimism on the platform right now imo.

I don’t think the translator said anything crazy haha! The comment looks good to me!

From a marketing perspective, we can say that trends exist. Someone proposes something different (divergence), and the idea attracts people (convergence begins). If it's just a fad, what was new is displaced by something else. What's difficult today in Hive is AI. I think it's going to cause a lot of conflict on the network, where the norm is original content published by the author. How far will the network tolerate AI?

I am a Hivians With great pride, my friend, Hive is addictive for those of us who have realized that TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X are nothing compared to this great community. Here we aim to build something lasting; it's simply brilliant.

I agree obviously 😆

Yes and we do not have the crazy algorithms that those other platforms have.

Hive is addictive but in a different way!

I understand addiction; it's strange, but when I'm not posting, I feel the need to open Peakd and see, read, and support. I have to do it, otherwise my day won't end well. Something like that

oh yea! :)

actions more than words..

and ye, there is a reason I do my hiving (posting and curation) first thing every morning.. its because it makes me happy, or i learn something, and i get to engage.

hive matter in a way that FB and IG and all the others never will..

Well said! Hive in the mornings is great! And it goes really well with a nice cup of coffee 😊

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows

from Imgflip Meme Generator

from Imgflip Meme Generator

Friends, creators, truth-tellers—

Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.

There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.

On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.

Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.

On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.

And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.

But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.

It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.

Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.

Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.

So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:

If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.

The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.

And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.

Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.

Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.

And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:

Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.

Key Concerns:
1. Systemic Manipulation:
- Coordinated downvotes from high-HP accounts suppress dissent, creating a chilling effect on free expression.
- Automation and alt-account networks allegedly exploit rewards, distorting organic curation.

1. Community Exodus:
   - Creators flee to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes don’t exist, fearing punitive curation over engagement.

2. Governance Crisis:
   - Hive’s credibility hinges on accountability. Who decides what content thrives? How do we audit power structures?

Solutions Needed:
- Curation Transparency: Publish clear rationales for downvotes to foster trust.
- Community Audits: Leverage blockchain data (e.g., Bilpcoin’s analyses) to identify abusive patterns.
- Reward Reform: Adjust algorithms to penalize manipulation and reward authentic engagement.

The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.

Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.

HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"

from Imgflip Meme Generator

A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates

Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,

How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.

Key Issues to Address:
1. Downvote Practices: Silencing dissent erodes trust. Constructive dialogue, not punitive curation, fosters growth.
2. Accountability: Transactions and curation trails are public. Scrutiny is inevitable—integrity demands addressing concerns openly.
3. Community Impact: Driving users to platforms like Blurt/Steemit weakens Hive. Creators seek ecosystems that value collaboration over conflict.

A Path Forward:
- Engage in open discussions about governance and fairness.
- Audit curation practices to align with Hive’s decentralized values.
- Prioritize transparency—publish explanations for downvotes or collaborative reforms.

The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.

Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.

HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.

Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.

Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.

It’s over.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
- STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES
- STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS

Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:

The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
- Downvote abuse
- Farming schemes
- Speaking disrespectfully to others
- Encouraging people to avoid certain users out of personal dislike
- Self-voting with alt accounts
- Self-funding projects through self-votes
- Promoting games that don’t even exist (LOL)

These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

Exactly. Judge those upon their actions and not their words..

Unfortunately I learned this the hard way. But I did learn so that is the important part. Just got to keep my head up and keep moving forward!

Hive tends to be very fragile at times. The community often rallies together to inspire and to protect. It can be a very challenging space at times. However, as you say, the community cares about and protects the future of Hive. This makes us different.

This is a question I battle to answer, as everyone has such a different idea of what Hive should be, and as a result, a Hivian should be. That's the huge difference that exists between a decentralized and centralized platform. Rewards are always a touchy subject due to upvoting syndicates. However, for the most part, I believe it works well. For me, being a Hivian is about being able to share my knowledge, insights, and engaging with the community. If I can earn some Crypto at the same time, great!

Hive is a unique social media experience, perhaps even an experiment. I think being a Hivian is simply about finding your little corner of influence and creativity on the blockchain and ecosystem. Engagement is, however, key. Conversations and the sharing of ideas are imperative if you are to call Hive your digital home.
