That's quite a few followers, right? One would think I'd made a few friends along the way and that some of those followers were still active and had a vested interest in Hive, especially with the new hard fork dropping last week.
I've been here long enough to see over half of the forks this chain has gone through, including the massive one that gave birth to the place you are reading this now. The one that peeled away the scrutiny of Justin Sun and gave what people consider freedom back to the chain. The freedom to choose! The freedom to build! All these wonderful freedoms that have given you what Hive is today, after 5 long years.
People have come and gone since then, some of them really good people, some of them, probably not so much. But after being here for so long, I had my suspicions about what this place really is. I even built the District around that principle and it has been proving more true at every corner. I built the Alliance around another belief. Have you heard of the PIMP token or The Alliance? Those are the main two, um, Hive things I claim credit for.
But ya know, maybe it's better if I just hop in shotgun for a bit. I been driving a really long time. I haven't stopped to smell many roses or touched much grass. Granted, I probably have more minutes in the paint than most, and that doesn't mean I ain't gonna play. It just means, silence tends to speak louder. And the silence I got? Deafening.
4384 followers though! I mean, that's a lot of people, right? You want to know how many of those people said anything to me or was concerned that I had not updated my witness? One. Yup, just one. I don't know weather to be sad or pissed off. I do know, I don't need to be a witness anymore. There is more than one way to, I don't know, do something.
So, I will be shutting down the 
Aaaand no, I wasn't threatened by anyone or fell off any rockers. Maybe in the future I'll reinstate it, but as it is right now? I need to focus on other things and after the Discord server purge, this was my next target. And yes, there are other targets set up. #staytuned and REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even when it's #fuckit.
