RE: What is the USP (Unique Selling point) of Hive? Why do we use it and how to onboard more users?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Wow, that's a lot to unpack and respond to. i am glad you had fun on your vocation. these answers are not simple and I can't address them all. I will say this...are you enjoying your time on here? you mentioned wondering if you should move on. If you are genuinely having fun/enjoying yourself then I say stay. If you aren't, maybe take a break,. a longer more scheduled break and see if you miss it. Yeah HIVE is about money but also should be something you enjoy (my opinion). As for the other stuff you mentioned..it's complicated. HIVE is not truly decentralized nor "censorship" free. There are a few accounts that have all the control. It's frankly more of an oligarchy at this point. All it takes is one downvote to negate hundreds or thousands of other upvotes.
Some of these downvotes make sense ie illegal content. copyright violations etc, but so many others are simply some folks don't like certain types of content (though I have yet to see any real consistency. It's more that they allow some folks to have certain content while not allowing others to do the same). Is it really fair that one person or a small group can just downvote a post that is not illegal or violating HIVE TOS and completely negate the rewards? Not only for the author of that post but the (potential)hundreds of other folks who upvoted also lose their earnings. Is that really censorship free or the spirit of decentralized freedom? hell no. Even with other more traditional POS tokens -yes the higher the stake the better rewards but a high stake does not negate the rewards of smaller stakes(users). Though Hive-engine tokens are immune to downvotes taking away rewards which is something to consider.
As for a Hive community..I guess that depends again on what you want to do (does this idea make you happy/motivate you etc). Also can you work around these limitation of HIVE? Not all groups will every fully agree or even get along and that's just reality . That said could you make a community that is open to all and somewhat unites folks-absolutely.
Sorry I don't have much more to say at the moment. but feel free to shoot me a message if you want to chat, bounce off ideas etc.
!BBH !PIMP !UNI
My usual, I start with an idea, before I know it, I have 10 minutes worth of reading in front of you LOL!
I had an incredible vacation, actually, it's the first one I've been on in a long time, where I was able to sloth out and forget most of Crypto. I guess I choose to be as involved as I have been over the years, so I can't really complain but it was certainly nice to have a break.
I do enjoy being on Hive, hence I tried to build my community here and become a 'real part' of the Hive ecosystem. I'm unsure whether all my time and effort were spent in the right places, but overall, it's been an exciting journey. I've met some awesome people along the way, some super cool unicorns included!
I think it's easy to point fingers and find flaws. I tried to steer clear of that in my post, although negativity still seems to find a way through, aiming for a more positive outlook from here on out. Hence, the idea of building a more 'open' space for all. It was my goal for Sloth.Buzz, but simply having a brand/community at the top already limits the potential. I should probably have just focused on 'Hive' as a whole and built from there. There is still time for that, and maybe that is my next move.
I don't imagine we could ever have a world where everyone agrees, but having a space where we can agree/disagree amicably seems logical. I had thought of creating a Discord server with all the separate projects and spaces in one place, And of course, a disagreement/debate area. Debate should be encouraged; if we all believe we are right and never have the conversation, then we're all doomed in the end! I guess the main question is: can project leads come together in such a space to make everyone's experience on Hive better, or will we all cling to our own small servers/communities and not grow together?
I try not to focus too much on "positivity" or "negativity" I used to focus on only positive but that in itself is toxic because both co exist in the world and are completely subjective. I don't think pointing out flaws is negative in of itself as long as it's not done with malicious intent. Seeing flaws or even things that you personally don't agree with can help enact change, even if it's just how you operate (I mean universal "you" not necessarily you personally). If we don't acknowledge flaws, how can we grow and (potentially). fix them? I hear you. Yes debates can often lead to growth, hearing different opinions and perspectives does help me personally to see things differently.
Maybe some folks in the HCL can chime in with different ideas/perspectives. I do like your idea.
❤️🦄
I must admit I'd never really considered positivity/negativity until relatively recently. Keeping yourself in check to some level does help, though (from the short time I've been paying attention). I tended to be primarily negative, probably too much so, pointing out flaws that could be easily ignored rather than offering a constructive spin, simply moaning for the sake of moaning. I guess as long as one isn't 'overly' positive/negative, we're on he right track.
Hopefully, the HCL can add some input; those would be the 'key' users in such an 'open' project. I did consider tagging many of the project leads in this post, but I never like to tag users to gain attention. Let's see what other feedback comes from this, then I'll consider being a little more direct, either with tags or DMs on Discord. The plan could only work with cooperation from others; it's too big a task for one user to do everything, as I think most project leads here on Hive have realised: one cannot run a community, develop, and expand outward all by themselves.
I'd had a similar idea before trying to use Gleem to onboard users to Hive as a whole, but it never gained much traction with any other project leads. Most people are too busy doing their own thing to put time into other projects/ideas. Maybe if we can come together in some ways, it would lift the burden on others. The hardest part is giving up what is 'yours' in the pursuit of bigger things.

In the beginning, there was hope.
A dream:
That value could be created by anyone.
That power could be decentralized.
That a post, a vote, a creation —
Could rise or fall on its own merit.
But Dreams do not kill systems.
Corruption does.
And corruption has found its perfect form:
The scam farm —
A ghost in the machine,
Wearing the mask of curation,
Feeding on trust,
Rewarding loyalty,
Punishing honesty.
It does not build.
It extracts.
It does not serve.
It controls.
And if you are new to this world —
If you speak truth, post honestly, expect fairness —
You will be broken.
Unless you learn to see.
So here, in plain language,
Is how to spot the scam farm.
Not with rumors.
Not with hate.
But with observation,
With logic,
With the cold light of the blockchain.
1. No Original Content — Only Engagement
The first sign:
They create nothing.
No posts.
No art.
No analysis.
No music.
Only votes.
Only comments.
Only reaction.
They are not users.
They are operators.
Like a drone circling a field, they move from post to post — upvoting allies, downvoting dissenters, farming rewards like a machine.
Ask:
What have they built?
If the answer is nothing —
Then they are not contributing.
They are consuming.
2. 24/7 Curation Rewards — The Machine Never Sleeps
The second sign:
Non-stop reward accumulation.
Real curation is organic.
It ebbs and flows.
It follows interest, passion, discovery.
But the scam farm?
It earns rewards every hour.
Every day.
Like clockwork.
It votes at 3 AM.
At noon.
At midnight.
Not because it sees quality —
But because it is programmed to extract.
This is not passion.
It is automation.
Or worse — coordinated manipulation.
Look at the pattern.
If an account farms rewards without pause,
It is not curating.
It is farming.
3. Burn Comments & Self-Voting Loops
The third sign:
Artificial engagement.
They post low-effort comments — “Nice!” “Great post!” — under their own content or that of allies.
These are not interactions.
They are fuel — used to game floors, trigger rewards, inflate visibility.
They may self-vote.
Or vote in loops with a network of alts.
A closed circuit of power —
Where influence flows only to itself.
This is not community.
It is a cartel.
And the blockchain records it all —
Even when websites hide it behind JavaScript walls.
4. Massive Delegated Hive Power from Centralized Sources
The fourth sign:
HP from exchanges or known whales.
Check delegation history.
If an account holds millions in Hive Power —
But most is delegated from @blocktrades or similar centralized wallets —
Then it is not independent.
It is a proxy.
Power given is power controlled.
And when one entity delegates across dozens of accounts,
It is not decentralization.
It is feudalism.
The land is farmed.
The peasants earn crumbs.
The lord takes the harvest.
5. Downvotes on Critics — Coordinated Silence
The fifth sign:
Suppression of dissent.
When someone exposes the farm,
When someone traces the trail,
When someone speaks truth —
The downvotes fall.
Not one.
But many.
Fast.
Silent.
Financially crippling.
No debate.
No response.
Just erasure.
This is not moderation.
It is censorship with profit motive.
And the worst part?
They call the victim a “troll.”
A “spammer.”
A “toxic user.”
Projection is the last refuge of the guilty.
6. Reward Flow to Secondary Accounts
The sixth sign:
Obfuscated wealth transfer.
Rewards flow not to the farming account,
But to another — often a spouse, partner, or private wallet.
@alpha receives rewards from @buildawhale.
@themarkymark benefits from activity routed through hidden channels.
This is not privacy.
It is obfuscation.
An attempt to hide the machine’s true ownership.
Follow the money.
The chain does not lie.
7. The Website Hides the Data
And now — the final proof:
Why?
Because transparency threatens control.
They want you to look away.
To trust the interface.
To believe the silence.
But you do not need their website.
You have the blockchain.
You have logic.
You have memory.
You have the testimony of those who saw before the curtain fell.
And you have this guide.
The Escape: Blurt Offers True Freedom
On Blurt.blog, none of this can happen.
Because there is no downvote button.
Gone.
Not hidden.
Not reformed.
Removed.
No financial punishment for honesty.
No silent sabotage.
No cartel.
What you earn — you earn.
No whale can kneel you.
No gang can bury you.
Blurt is what Hive promised to be.
Conclusion: You Are Not Powerless
You entered crypto seeking freedom.
You found manipulation.
But you are not powerless.
You have eyes.
You have reason.
You have this knowledge.
Teach it.
Share it.
Protect the new.
Because the next victim could be you.
And when the system fails —
When the farms grow too bold,
When the lies become law —
Remember:
—
The Bilpcoin Team
We create. We expose. We survive.
Every downvote you cast drives another soul from Hive —
To Blurt.blog,
Where there is no downvote button.
Where what you earn — you earn.
Where silence is not weaponized.
Even Steemit — older, quieter —
Offers more freedom than what Hive has become.
And that should terrify you.
Because when people flee not to greener pastures,
But to freer ones,
It is not the destination they seek —
It is escape.
They are running from you.
Whatever you are doing,
Hold it with both hands.
Chase it fiercely.
Because you only get one life.
And in that life —
Never be afraid to say no.
Never be afraid to stand alone.
Always do the right thing —
Even when it costs you votes.
Even when it costs you rewards.
Even when it costs you silence.
At Bilpcoin we have not scammed anyone.
We have not stolen.
We have not lied.
We have only done this:
Shared what the blockchain already knows.
Transactions.
Data.
Patterns.
Not fabricated.
Not imagined.
Not speculated.
But verified — open, public, immutable.
And what we found is not conspiracy.
It is control.
Go to peakd.com/@buildawhale/activities — if the site allows it.
Look at the account.
Watch it move.
Like a machine.
@buildawhale —
A name that should belong to a myth.
Instead, it belongs to a farm.
An account that farms curation rewards all day, every day.
That auto-downvotes users — not because they are wrong,
But because they speak.
Because they expose.
Because they are not part of the circle.
And who owns Buildawhale?
Not some anonymous farmer.
Not a rogue actor.
But Blocktrades —
A whale whose influence stretches across Hive like a shadow.
Over 2 million Hive Power delegated.
Rewards flowing in.
Powering down daily.
And where do those rewards go?
To @alpha —
The account widely known as Blocktrades’ wife’s wallet.
A silent beneficiary of a system rigged from within.

“We Are Bilpcoin”
We do not stand against the people.
We stand with them.
Shoulder to shoulder.
Hand in hand.
Not as leaders, but as fellow travelers — scarred, shaped, and strengthened by the same storms that have battered so many.
The Bilpcoin team each of us has been tested.
Not by theory, but by life, life itself.
By loss.
By silence.
By systems that mistake conformity for virtue and call censorship “moderation.”
We have known hunger — not always for food, but for fairness.
For a platform where a voice is not priced, punished, or purchased.
And yet —
We are strong.
Not because we were born that way,
But because we had no choice but to become so.
As a team, we have grown — not in spite of the chaos, but because of it.
We’ve learned to build in the dark.
To create when no one is watching.
To trust when trust is rare.
We’ve learned new tools, new truths, new ways of being — not for profit, but for purpose.
Because one thing must be said, and said plainly:
You should never stop learning.
You should never stop dreaming.
You should never stop reaching for what is right — even when the world leans heavily on the side of wrong.
When we began — back in the early days of Steemit — the idea seemed impossible:
You can earn from your words? From your art? From simply speaking your truth?
To many, it felt like magic.
To us, it felt like justice.
And know this: Bilpcoin was not born in boardrooms or venture capital pitches.
It was born in a single mind — one person’s quiet vision, carried like a torch through the fog.
Circumstances, harsh and unyielding, led that founder to let go of much of what they built.
We do not speak of those details.
Some wounds are not ours to expose.
But this we say:
From that fire, Bilpcoin did not die.
It evolved.
Bilpcoin is not a corporation.
It is a social experiment — one that asks a simple question:
What happens when we reward people not for gaming the system, but for sharing their truth?
Our mission is clear:
To reward creators, not manipulators.
To burn BPC tokens, not hoard them.
To return value to the network — not extract it.
We believe in Blurt — not because it is perfect,
But because it dares to be free.
To remove the downvote button is not a small thing.
It is a revolution.
A refusal to allow power to be weaponized by the few against the many.
No more silent sabotage.
No more financial punishment for honesty.
On Blurt, your voice does not lose value because someone feels threatened by it.
And let us be clear:
We have only ever shared what the blockchain already knew.
The transactions.
The patterns.
The truth.
We did not fabricate.
We did not exaggerate.
We revealed — and that, more than anything, is why we were targeted.
Downvotes are not about quality.
They are about control.
Whales farming rewards on Hive are not “supporting the ecosystem.”
They are gaming it — and everyone sees it.
Even those who won’t say it.
How can the world take Hive seriously when its pulse is set not by passion, but by power?
When the loudest voices are not the most honest, but the most rewarded?
But here — in this moment — we dream.
Not foolishly.
But fiercely.
Imagine it:
Steem. Hive. Blurt.
Not as rivals.
Not as fragments.
But as allies.
A united front of decentralized expression.
One network, many voices.
One mission: freedom to create, freedom to speak, freedom to be.
Yes — it would require change.
Yes — some would have to go.
Those who profit from silence.
Those who fear transparency.
Those who confuse their privilege with merit.
But if we stood together — truly together —
We would not be a footnote.
We would be a force.
For now, it is a dream.
But dreams are the first code of revolution.
And who knows what the future holds?
We do not claim to have all the answers.
We only know this:
We will keep building.
Keep sharing.
Keep burning tokens, not bridges.
Keep standing with the people — not above them, not against them, but beside them.
Because in the end, it was never about coins.
It was about courage freedom truth.
And courage, like truth, cannot be downvoted.
The Bilpcoin Team.
