Good evening,
As I take time to reflect on my "project," and the reactions from others. I have received more positive feedback for this “project,” than anything I’ve ever done before; and I am talking anything I’ve ever done in my entire life.
I have been on HIVE since January 2022. I was pretty obscure until about 5 seconds ago. But then I started this project, and I powered up some HIVE, and now all of a sudden I’m interesting. All of a sudden, people want to listen to what I have to say. I’m getting a lot of positive feedback and I’m enjoying it.
I am an addict, everyone who knows me knows that. I’m pretty open about it because I believe talking about my problems makes me a better person.
I’ve made blog posts about quitting drinking, and right now, I really don’t want to talk about it. I’ve tried quitting drinking many times and have failed miserably many times. When I like something, I can’t stop, I get obsessed, I never let it go, I won’t let it go, I can’t, I love HIVE.
HIVE is beautiful. And I really do cherish the good times we had and I hope we can cherish more good times in the future. I really do love you guys and gals. I’m serious.
Many people on HIVE say HIVE is “dying,” even though many of these same people know it is technically impossible. The price can keep going down of course. HIVE is an inflationary token. If people don’t think HIVE is valuable, then they will sell it. This is how the world works. I believe HIVE is valuable so I am buying it. This in no way is financial advice and I cannot in good conscience recommend copying me in anyway. You can do what you want, you are a free person, and I have no control over you.
If things get better with HIVE, I might just keep buying HIVE because it shows a stakeholder can make a difference. This would show that having HP is more valuable than the liquid HIVE dollar value it’s associated with.
If things don’t get better with HIVE, I might keep DCAing into HIVE because it does at least it have an APR in terms of HIVE.
To me this seems like a good deal; right now anyways. Things can always change and I’m not promising anyone anything. And who knows? Maybe I’m crazy and this is a stupid idea. I’m not saying anyone should follow my lead.
There is only 1 option for me right now, in my mind, and that’s to buy more HIVE. Buying more HIVE and powering it up makes me more free. I’m less of a slave to the real world and I am more a Man that can live the way he wants to live.
All I want is to be free.
When I say this, and I am being RAW and unfiltered. Remember what people have told you about me, I’m unpredictable and I’m kinda crazy. I’m really weird and it’s hard to understand what I’m saying sometimes. It might be impossible to understand what I’m thinking?…… I really don’t know what’s going on in my head right now. 😘
I’m incredibly intense and have extreme reactions. Most of them I don’t regret. But when I do things that I do regret, I try to be a good person and I will tell you I’m sorry. I mean it. And a lot of times when I say I’m sorry, I cry. Because I really do care, and I want to be a good person.
I want to be a good person but I’m not always. We are capable of good and evil. If there was no evil, good would not even exist as a concept, and everything would just be sunshine and rainbows.
Our lives are not sunshine and rainbows. There are good times and bad. And sometimes our lives really suck. I wish I could help, but I can’t fix your life. I’m sorry. I really am sorry.
With my new project, there may be winners and losers, and that’s ok, that’s how life works sometimes. I believe there are people with more money than me, with less HIVE stake, that don’t want to buy HIVE because they think everything is hopeless, and the price will keep going down. They think HIVE is a bad investment right now. Maybe it is?
I think a lot of people today make the case that HIVE is a bad investment, even if they don’t realize they are doing it.
Maybe everything is hopeless? Maybe the price of HIVE will still keep going down? This is always an option.
But HIVE cannot die in my opinion. It’s impossible. And it’s not an option, not for me anyways.
Maybe my project is stupid? Maybe I’ll lose most my investment on a % basis when priced in dollars? Maybe I’ll lose “friends” over this?
But even if my project is stupid, even if I lose "friends," even if I can lose most of the dollar value of my investment, I will do my best to make my business successful; this is my only option.
If I have to ride HIVE to zero, I’ll do it. I’m not worried about it.
I owe it to my stakeholders to do my best, and get a return on my investment. If you own HP, you are a stakeholder of the ecosystem, and in theory, you will benefit from my “project” too. I can’t promise anything, it’s just a theory.
I have reached a new phase of my “project” where I am looking for proposals I need to support which will help increase the % chance that my investment is going to be successful.
My first supported proposal, besides the return proposal, is the HBD Stabilizer. The HBD Stabilizer is expensive. We pay for it. But unless someone wants to come up with a better idea, I’m pretty convinced we need it. And I want it to be successful.
If you think I’m wrong, tell me why I shouldn’t support this proposal. And if you think there are other proposals that will increase the % chance my investment is successful, please make your case in the comments below, and let’s have a good conversation. I want to support more proposals and I want to have good conversations with GOOD people.
I want to know what YOU think. Your opinion DOES matter to ME, regardless of your stake weight.
And even if I don’t agree with you, and even if I do something different than what YOU lobbied for, it will be on chain, YOU can always come back to this post and say, “see I told you so, you should have supported XYZ proposal.” And frankly, I want to have those experiences where I realize I made a mistake; it’s easier for me if it’s clearly documented on HIVE. This documentation process will make me a better investor in my opinion.
I have no problem getting egg on my face; that’s part of putting yourself out there. If something is easy to do, it’s usually not worth very much. Like, it’s really not.
There are always exceptions, but it’s the truth. If you do something easy, you can pay anyone to do it. No one is important to a function in these cases. Anyone who has worked for a business knows this.
A business is a conglomeration of processes that drive value. Most people who work for a business are cogs in that machine. It’s part of the deal. You agree to that when you accept the job. It’s usually articulated in some type of legal document you sign before you work somewhere.
Businesses should be nice to employees and treat them with respect but the company doesn’t NEED anything. Companies aren’t people, they don’t have feelings; even if you get mad at it. A company is just a thing made up by Man, which is validated with a legal document. Which, if you really think about it, a legal document is something made up by Man too.
(Man = human race in this context)
The things I have described are not the laws of nature but the laws of Man. Man is malleable. Man does change. Man is unpredictable. The passions of Man can drive them to some form of getting closer to god, or some form of getting closer to insanity. Doing bad things hurts YOUR soul and YOU cannot undo that process. You can only start a NEW process and try to do good things going forward. You will fail, because it’s hard, but if it was easy, it probably wouldn’t be worth doing anyways.
Rather than being a cog in a machine. You sometimes do have other options. Not everyone does, but some people do. If a company IS dependent on a specific person like YOU, and what YOU do is NOT easily repeatable, you can be expensive. You can get paid a lot of money. Because you provide a unique function and you have a lot of influence; and those things DO matter.
I want to be proven wrong, it makes me a better person. And if I make a bad trade, I’ll admit it, it makes me a better investor.
And as I’ve said before, in my first post of this “project,” I am a collector. I like to collect good conversations, and even if we disagree, if we have a good conversation, that is valuable to me; and it’s worth more than money, in my opinion. A good conversation is scarce and cannot be replicated, it is defined by that moment in time. And I’m a collector, I like to collect things that are unique. And most things in life that are extremely valuable, you can’t buy, or at least not easily.
I can’t buy a good conversation, you have to be willing to talk to me IN GOOD FAITH and I have to be willing to talk to you IN GOOD FAITH. We both have to invest OUR time, and time IS valuable. And….. we both have to be GOOD people.
So when you talk to me and we have a good conversation. It means a lot to me. It does matter. And I really do appreciate it. Even if you have made a mistakes in your life. Even if you have done evil things. You can at least be good when you are talking to me. I’m serious. Let’s have a good conversation.
Please tell me what proposal(s) YOU think I SHOULD support and I will think about it deeply. And if I don’t think it should be supported, I’ll tell you why. And that’s ok. I believe it will make US better people.
I want to talk. And I want to have a good conversation. To all of you that want to talk and do leave a comment, I can’t promise I will respond to everyone, I’ll do my best, but I can’t make any promises.
Even if I don’t respond to your comment, what you post on HIVE should be valuable to you, even if it doesn’t make you “money,” and even if I don’t “like” it.
Do what you love, and if you love posting on HIVE, Do it. No one is stopping you. Even if I hit the dislike button on your post.
See you on the other side,
❤️
Mr Skull
