There are many tools to interface with the STEEM and HIVE blockchains. Just yesterday, some of us requested some help with some stats from Hive account@abh12345, which he was able to query via hivesql (hence why he is the beneficiary of this post).

There are lots of people here, who prey on other ignorant people. They wish to portray an image that directly contradicts their actual actions on the blockchain.

You need an example of the bullshit?

Take a peak at the following post on steem:

Now take a look this person's wallet:

Or check out this spoiler:

There's plenty of other examples. There are others who rent massive steempower and hivepower delegations to pretend like they are a whale or large orca on the platform, and continually power down and self-vote and shit post to pay for that delegation.

Lots of people like Hive account@holger80, Hive account@penguinpablo, and too many others to mention, build innovative ways of interfacing and pulling information from the steem/hive blockchains. Before you make snap judgements about the intentions of people, PLEASE learn to use these tools to see if their actions match their rhetoric. The absolute worst thing you can do is jump into a fight uninformed, and defend someone who has been exploiting you and the community. I'm not asking you to believe anything I type. I'm asking YOU to make YOUR OWN INFORMED decisions.
