⚠️⚠️⚠️ ALERT ⚠️⚠️⚠️

HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.

Been going through some ick myself. There for a while it was really sucky. But now I'm pretty much over it. It is more annoying than anything. You just grind on when it is like that I guess. Nothing else to do.

Gaving your favorite pet around makes a difference. They are pure comfort. At least to me. They do know when something is out of sorts. Mine do and will act accordingly.

Glad you are over it now. It can suck energy for ages.

>Mine do and will act accordingly.

As a puppy, "accordingly" might have been mistranslated into annoyingly.

Yes, but it is a cute annoying.

Yeah, when you are sick you should take it easy. I enjoy watching figure skating with my family, though my ladies are definitely more into it 😀

Smallsteps enjoys watching it for the first time in her life. She has liked the "new" sports she hasn't seen before.

> Many of us have the tendency only to do things when conditions are good, but I believe that we can make the most gains when conditions are poor. It might not feel great while doing it though.

I couldn't agree more with that sentence. But but for me there is a huge stone, weighting more then "ten tons" over my head... Worst then a blocked nose, my procrastination level (that fortunately has become small over the months, and especially here in Hive) is a very big issue for me.

I've planed to go for a gym workout in the end of the afternoon, after work, but I was completely tired. Had some protein with oats, and went to get a two hour nap.

Could I call it a "nap"? Maybe it way out of the definition of a nap... well, shame on me... or maybe not."

Wish that you get well soon!

procrastination is the silent killer of potential. It has been my major flaw since childhood. Not sure why.

> but I was completely tired.

Force it. Don't worry about how you feel before - just after.

Tonight I slept for over ten hours. Something that is not completely normal for me, nor very frequent. Today, as I didn't have to go to work, I turned off the alarm clock and ended up resting more. My body must have been asking for it, because I hadn't realized how I was feeling.

I woke up a few hours ago, about four and a half hours ago... I managed to stay focused and haven't broken my fast yet. Yesterday I ended up eating too much for dinner, and I still feel a little weird about it.

I haven't focused on what I should have already done, and I haven't done it yet.

I'm glad I got to read your reply.

> Force it. Don't worry about how you feel before - just after.

And in it I found the motivation to try to regain the strength to force myself to do something for myself today. I really appreciate your comment, because it ended up pushing me to do something and not stay at home, watching time simply slip through my fingers!

Take it easy and I hope you get back to one hundred percent soon. Our dog could always tell when we aren't feeling well too. She would jump on the couch next to us and put her head on our lap.

It is nice when the dog is calm and just chills when sick - ours is "a little" less calm. :D

Is your dog fixed? I hear that sometimes that can do wonders to calm them down. I've never had a male dog before though.

Get well soon, pal

Cheers.

To be honest dear, sickness is a worst thing to happen to a man. Although, you hate the term 'man flu', but it is hard to fight with. But, there is a positive side to the sickness as well. Firstly, as you have mentioned, one gets to try to make things happen in not so good conditions and you got to watch figure skating. Secondly, the illness makes us, biologically, stronger than the previous version. Thirdly, one gets to know why, the three words - health is wealth- are considered a magic.
But, no amount of optimism can nullify the pain and the unrest caused by this illness. And, kudos to Puusti for being annoying and cute at the same time, because if this were my cat, she would just stay away from me 🥲.

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Why use "dear" ?

To show respect and affection, as a formal gesture ✌🏻.

I think it is interesting how our pets can pick up on our feelings. They really know being both comforting and annoying at thr same time :)

Yeah, it isn't bad to have a laugh when sick. He is a pretty funny little thing at times. He knows what he can't do - and chooses to do it.

With me I don't have full blown cold, but every morning this winter,
- I sneeze a few times
- nose runs till my breakfast
- and cough due to the masalas being cooked at home

Only during the mornings. 😆

>and cough due to the masalas being cooked at home

At least you have masalas!! :D

There is nothing more draining than a stuffed-up face and zero sleep. Get some actual sleep tonight!

I got some! Not enough, but more than an hour like the night before :)

This really reads like a quiet, honest check in with yourself. Sometimes being a bit sick forces you to slow down in a way life never lets you otherwise and there’s something strangely grounding in that. Hope Tuesday brings a gentler wave, and enjoy the skating there’s something calming about watching people move with that kind of grace.

> and there’s something strangely grounding in that.

Yeah. It is a reminder that we don't get to choose how we feel.

Ah, that sucks. I get it. Sometimes it never seems to end. I think at our age you learn to roll with the punches a bit - knowing that you'll have a good spell then a bad one and so on and so forth til you're dead, hopefully in your sleep but probably not. Having a dog to stay by you helps. Get better soon.

>hopefully in your sleep but probably not.

Thanks for cheering me up! ;D

Haha sorry admittedly that was quite dark.... 😂

I also feel like sometimes life just keeps throwing little waves at you, and you just have to ride them out. I try to do small things for myself when I’m sick too, like sitting around a bit more or just taking it slower, even if I don’t stop completely

I just wish they were all little waves. There is a bit of a larger swell lately. I am not a great surfer :)

I felt this one.
That blocked nose with no sleep is no joke. Sometimes it is not even the sickness itself, it’s the lack of rhythm that makes everything feel heavier than it should. I like how you said cures don't happen overnight. That line hit me. We often expect quick fixes, but life doesn’t really work like that.

>it’s the lack of rhythm that makes everything feel heavier than it should.

And this is the thing. All of it mounts up and "normal" is nowhere near normal. Everything is made harder.

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.

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.

@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.
