Hive: The Art Of FUDDing Responsibly & Believing In The Product.
I haven't been able to shake off my illness lately, which simultaneously means a drop in my blockchain activities, however, this meant that I consumed more contents more than I normally would, and checked prices too often than I normally would, but I reckoned I did the former more than I did the latter because I realized something, we check prices to see if we can gain some comfort.
Just a little gain piques the emotion and further dips create more FUD tendencies. In the past three days, I've read more FUD posts than I've ever done in my 5 years of being here. This means that even the best of people here are FUDing would I blame them? No.
The bear market twists the minds of even the strongest.
but we're not just going through the bear market alone, are we? No. The FUD is driven by something more, it's not just about hive not doing well.
On the contrary, hive is doing well in other aspects, there hasn't been a ridiculous drop in activity, and the Leothreads is still as bubbly as ever. But some people do not want to focus on what keeps them busy anymore, the endless projects on hive to interact with, from SPLINTERLANDS to others, and this is because the weight of the dip in price takes away their attention. But are we in a state of emergency? Absolutely not.
Some people are predicting more doom on Twitter
But there's a reason
this isn't because they're prophets of dooms, most of them are just psychologically trying to prep themselves for anything, thereby creating unintentional FUD in the process. I saw someone predict 5k Bitcoin incoming. While it was a baseless and laughable prediction, I could read that he's just being extra salty and fearful.
Twitter is the place of doom, inasmuch as FUD posts are more plentiful at the moment here, but this is because I believe a lot of people here are holding on to the very fabrics of their sanity. But of course, I still feeling creating FUD posts is still better than a complete lack of activity.
Lack of activity is a silent but more potent FUD
however, I try to encourage people not to do that and reappear again when the going gets better, it's a complete show of disloyalty at least to me because I believe no one can say they've completely lost everything since they've been here, hence, they should have the good times at the back of their mind and let this be a driving force for them.
However, it's also funny that some whalish hunters are no longer going about and downvoting posts because they're overrewarded, but some of these accounts they've hunted have continued powering up and choosing activity of inactivity, through the bear market and these hunters do not acknowledge these people, but when the bull market comes, these hunters magically appears and begin their witch hunts.
It's double standards if you ask me.
I think we have to pay attention to what happens in both market cycles. One of the things I believe we shouldn't do is cultivate different habits towards the chain during the bull or bear market since hive thrives on continuity, creativity, and consistency to grow, I'll say that the best of people are those who see the project first before anything.
It's why I've reshuffled my priority a little bit; supporting those with longer mindsets irrespective of the market situation with my very tiny stake, might not make an impact, but I still do it nonetheless. In fact, I've taken it upon myself to seek out people who are powering up, when it's not HPUD or LPUD, Building extra, and growing with tenacity.
I feel they deserve the MVP award because these are the real G's
Even bigger, In fact
I've seen posts of some people powering up and making significant moves. This made me even more hopeful because, during the 2018 bear market, a lot of people did worse, left, FUDed multiple times, and did terrible damage, but it never killed steem though and it rose from the tethers later, but we can say the hostile takeover, did its job and the Hive's dispensation was hope, value, strength, vigor, and courage, the hostile takeover was worse, the uncertainty was niggling.
I know I cannot compare it to what we're facing now, but the point is, we survived that because we believed in the technology, in the product, and as a community, we fought.
There's an instance:
Hive thriving in The 2021 bull market was part of the dividends of the hustle in 2020 by almost every community person here. So I find it lackadaisical when someone thinks their accounts alone cannot influence the chain negatively and positively because it's too small, it actually can.
The product we have here is massive, let's not allow the bear market to make us underestimate what we have here. I've seen very shitty projects doing some crazy shillings, this is because they depend on the shilling, because there's no utility or value to the project.
What we have here is immense, even if it's imperfect
Externally, I'm hoping CZ and Binance sort out their crazy shits, the road to recovery might still be long, but our FUD here shouldn't be the same as a demented individual who wakes up everyday heads to Twitter in their dirty pajamas saying "5K BTC incoming?".
Irrespective, I'll advise people to cultivate good practices here, not just because it's their duty but because our survival and thrival depend on all of us. Sell FUD responsibly and logically even if you should.

You are right bro, I could remember a friend asking me about how the crypto market has been treating me lately and I was telling him I just have to keep going but he was already giving up because he has lost all hopes.. Cryptocurrency is not for the weak my brother..
Well, it's true, we're going to lose believers, other believers will be made. It's the cyclical crypto process. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that's true tho, there is always a light at the end
Aaah yes - well spotted and you nailed it there. Maybe we believe in it MORE?
I do hope you start to feel much better soon.
Exactly. This has been the issue for quite a while.
Thank you

Wondering who's this guy. So many fudders, and they cannot influence everybody.
There are hundreds of them on Twitter selling BTC fud like thus. Hahaha
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah. So many Twitter fudders, especially those acting like influencers.
The way the crypto market is going, so many people are now so doubtful of it recovering anytime soon and if makes me wonder if they really know the little they claim they know. It's very obvious that crypto is volatile and all these are very much expected.
You know recently I was just wondering how hive manages to generate HBD when it's just hive that we stake and that alone proves that Hive is striving so well and only a few will understand that. Truly, I see that more people are getting a hang of what is happening and they don't panic sell like before, that is also an improvement, hehe.
Fud post are bound to be there especially for the fact that most people don't learn and they keep making the same mistakes over and over.
I don't know much about crypto but I do know my best coin now is hive and it's the only one I've earned genuinely so far and I'm willing to keep investing especially now that it's at the stage it is.
Get well soon JJ
It's the wild wild west sometimes, it's been ages and we've managed to survive some of the biggest shits that's happened. As per people not knowing what they believe anymore, I guess it's a matter of not living for the good times only. As for fud posts, I think they're not bad especially if they're not toxic or spell doom. At the moment we need more hope rather than doom. I guess it's More of an emotional process. But TBH, I know we'll pull through, it'll only take time.
Thanks for the well wishes
The post are surely not bad at all, it just still depends on the ones that read them, they might get some things wrong, hehe.
You're always welcome JJ.
The damage caused by the fall of Terra and FTX has caused a lot of people to lose faith in crypto. However, I don't think much has changed due to it and I think people are overreacting. Especially when we consider Hive and how it's still developing during the bear market. Either way, I think it's time to focus on those solid projects and continue building there. For me, that is Hive.

Terra and FTX are the most disastrous things to happen to crypto, but I'm glad we're more cautious and it can only get better from here. Hive is sincerely solid, it's healthy to question this because it means we can improve and do better..

It's hard not to be worried with such a drop, especially for new entrants, whether it's important to invest or to use the currently low prices as an opportunity, it's really hard to make that decision.
With the world economy so bad, it's hard to save a few thousand dollars and invest it in BTC, which is going downhill, or in HIVE, a project we believe in more.
I really hope so, but I think it's going to require a very high investment. I mean...
One gets scared.
Wise words from you Sir.
These times are quite dicey and having many sides. One needs to keep quality activity on, earn and move on. You ve once thought me to stop looking at price but focus on utility. That will payoff in the long-run.

my take here is just carry out major reshearch b4 indulging fully into any cryptocurrency
Haha... How do you know they are wearing dirty pajamas? 🤣
You know the funniest part of this post to me.?
It's the witch hunter part... Now, I am leaving 😂😂🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Please, get well soon. 🥺🙌
Because I actually think it's people like them prefers to FUD on Twitter even when they should be using that time to do their laundry lool, another thing. Just unleashing my sense of humor.
Thanks my body no gree me.
And the humor worked because I laughed all through. 😅
Of course, there's time for everything under the surface of the earth, no, Hive 😜
Then your body wants you to eat, take your medications, and rest. 🥺
Most players in the market make a loss. That’s because most of them buy when everyone is buying and sell when everyone is selling.
It takes a special kind of courage to buy when the FUD is at its peak, and it could very well be the wrong decision in hindsight. But it has the highest life changing potential.
Couldn't agree more on this. Not just FUD but quite the opposite when it's bull market they'll scream out $500k $1m BTC coming. Such a mess twitter is that's why I don't care what people say there. It's like depressing.
$5k? Been hearing about $10k is coming ever since start of 2022 !LOL 😂
Fud is extreme and I believe we are around the bottom. Well, They say "CZ, we trust" I say Hive, we trust.
You're right, when it's the bull market, you'll keep seeing things like 500k btc next and when it's the bear they become the messengers of doom.
Of course I've been seeing people talk about 5k, it's ridiculous and just too sentimental and their stance is backed by just fear and nothing else.
I think people might no longer concur with the CZ trust slogan hahaha as that trust has turned to suspicion. But I'm happy for what hive is becoming. We're adrift.

They just manipulate and new people in crypto loose a lot.
Tho, deep down they also know it's never going to happen but just throwing FUD like keyboard warriors Got something to say for attention.
Haha, CZ is still the smart Guy. Think so he'll come out of this trouble.
There's indeed lot of FUD these days and some of it is trying to creep into my mind. I haven't seen this level of fear, like we're on the cusp of a massive doom and gloom. For me, I just try and remember the analogy of the night and day. The night wouldn't last forever, the day will eventually come. We just have to wait it out while we keep buidling...
Hahaha that's a great analogy by the way. In reality, I feel that everyone has this fear, but moderating it is how we majorly get out of it, TBH

Yes, we always have to be on top of it and put it in check otherwise we won't stay afloat for long....
My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services but I may have to increase the 0.8% fee to 2.0% if I continue to be unfunded.
Please consider asking your friends to vote for prop #244 or consider unvoting the HBD stabilizer explained below.
For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I will also redraft this proposal with more details (coming soon). I'm also looking for other funding sources.
Additionally you can also help with a vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner
If you have used v4v.app I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.
Great work you're doing.. I've supported the proposal.
👍

Great post and...
The same people were probably so vocal just a year ago about a $100k+ BTC. This type of person is always wrong near the bottoms and tops.
I guess excessiveness is the reason behind the whole FUD and FOMO these guys are more emotional rather than logical.

Hive is doing really great for a place that most people originally came to because of earning. The bear market definitely has affected us a bit, but not as much as it has the legacy chain because it’s a deadzone even during the bull market. Hive is a great representation of community for better it worse.
As for Twitter, I think everyone knows better than to take their daily doze of FUD there, because there’s so much FUD created by amateurs even that you’d OD on it.
I can't continue emphasizing on the fact that hive is absolutely amazing. I think the reason why a lot of people tend to disagree is because of our shortcomings and imperfections and the inability to hit mainstream just yet. But I can understand. I'm always knowing we'd get there.

Crypto currency has done justice to some people in the sense that, they are went loss on some of their portfolios and this gave most people setback and they might want to loose hope in that which I feel is normal tho.. my view..
Crypto is volatile in all aspects, I think genuinely, this is the beauty.
