RE: A series of posts regarding Hive, Splinterlands, me, and you!
Yes, Hive and SPL has co-existed just fine for years. I was curious as to your thoughts on trying on how best to grow that relationship with each other. But if you don’t know splinterlands, then all good, and I will digress.
There have definitely been some people that are SPL Maxis and Hive Maxis that aren’t showing either community in their best light. And because I speak more on the SPL community, right now is a scary time for us, and our tokens and assets are down tremendously, so I believe some people are voicing their opinions that stem from emotions rather than an understanding of Hive. Anyone that is speaking poorly about hive definitely doesn’t represent the community and certainly not our leadership.
I appreciate your time and insight on this. I will continue to do my best to show the positive side of our community, and I will continue to grow my presence on Hive so that I may do a better job in educating my fellow players in the benefits of this powerful ecosystem at their fingertips.
I look forward to seeing you around the blockchain and speaking with you more on other topics as well.
Emotional outbursts/reactions are common during the lows, and the highs as well.
The common crypto culture that would define Maxis isn't something I subscribe to. The entire time I'm writing out my thoughts, I'm well aware some would ignore the points, look at what's in the wallet, then use that to discredit. I don't have time for that stuff.
I've seen arguments coming from another angle where some think those in support of the proposal are only voting to protect their assets. As if that's a way to discredit them. Realistically, they're using their HP to back their assets. That can be seen as a responsible move. Think of a house with a strong foundation. Tends to last longer. People can choose to have security.
So when those who went all in on SPL awhile back, draining their HP entirely while giving Hive the finger, now realize they only contributed to their own personal crumbling foundation and have become dependents. They had the ability to back their assets but forfeited it, seeing no value in that. Contributed much to SPL and themselves, but that well always dries up.
Some of them had huge stacks of HP. All gone. It was like a contagious disease stemming from emotions, misguidance, and tribalism. I could show examples published to this chain but I don't think shedding light directly on those specific situations and individuals would be fair to them in this setting.
People can dislike whatever they want. People can dislike Hive. It's an inanimate object and doesn't care. Even during those moments where one or some are are disrespecting "The Hive Community," I don't take that personally. They're hitting themselves. They eventually leave and everything else here remains intact.
You get used to the noise.
