2025

Moving forward, I will be (trying to anyway) taking more of a guidance role and sitting shotgun versus driving everywhere myself. I have come to respect and hold people in high regard after watching for years, like @themarkymark. Others, I have lost respect for due to their lack of communication or hypocrisy.

My personal goals are to strengthen my own witness position(s) (@enginewitty and @pollenation), continue incubating younger communities/initiatives/projects and, diligently supporting the outstanding ones. I do this with various outlets like @thealliance and the PIMP token (that has itself, turned into an amazing community-driven beast).

It should be noted, that I do have several people proxied to me and will update you now, on the witnesses I am voting for and why. They have changed somewhat, but you know me, I am trying to do what is best for Hive itself and feel these ones are closest to the same lines I try to stay between.

@arcange - love his attitude and willingness to step up to the plate + HiveSQL
@gtg - old school mofo, #respect
@good-karma - the advances with @ecency have been very impressive
@guiltyparties - I think value plan has been one of the best things to go through the DHF
@themarkymark - as stated before, love him or hate him, he backs his facts with facts
@actifit - still going (strong?), one of the longest running apps that nurtures exercise
@someguy123 - personal reasons and has never turned a deaf ear to anything I've asked of him
@techcoderx - VSC? Good cat too, always answers my questions or concerns
@timcliff - another old school cat, one of the nicest fellas you'll ever know
@pizza.witness - this may have changed hands, but @hivetrending's nose is never high in the air
@ura-soul - developments on and off Hive and has a great sense of humor
@disregardfiat - integral cog in DLUX, SPK and the original HashKings (the one I liked)
@detlev.witness - not many things I like more than beer
@c0ff33a - outstanding person and gets little credit for his contribution(s)
@qurator - long-time curation crew that has stood through the crytpo-winter(s) with us
@brofund - @raymondspeaks has created quite the community that I admire
@thebbhproject - fairly new to my list, I aim to keep an eye on @bradleyarrow
@apshamilton - legally speaking, I mean
@hispapro - very try-hard curators for the Latino communities out here
@hiq.witness - magazines, games, all the things
@klye - when it's time to get twisted, he's the go to
@enginewitty - if I don't have faith in myself then
@pollenation - who should I have faith in
@keys-defender - exactly that
@atexoras.witness - I like @forykw and his approach to finance
@whiterosecoffee - @c0ff33a's backup
@tazi - the only witness I know (besides myself) that fully represents the #sivergoldstakker clan
@synergy.witness - @ecoinstant recently up and we'll be paying attention to 'crazy management'
@crypto-shots - I think this game has the most potential of any currently playable games on Hive
