¡Yes Man!

Well, recently, barely a few hours ago, through my last post. I been told that I reached 50000 upvotes (Fifty thousand upvotes) on the Hive blockchain and I have been rewarded with a new badge. (source)

And I replied. Yeah, I've replied to such cordial announcement. Although probably not as accurate as I should. Perhaps, because their announcement wasn't as accurate either. I mean, they've said that I reached 50000 upvotes on the Hive blockchain. But I am pretty sure, they rather wanted to mean that all those upvotes were reached in my entire "career" within the Social Networks in the blockchain. Which would mean Steemit & Hive. ¿Am I Wrong?

"A Natural Path"

Therefore, half serious and half in joke. I went ahead trying to expand and extend my grateful reply there. I procured to make a few rapid math calculations just to determine the proportion of how possibly those fifty thousand upvotes could have been distributed over the time in my posts.

I've said:

Ah c'mon! 50000 upvotes already? 10000 upvotes per year? Close to 833.33 upvotes monthly? Around 27.39 upvotes daily? Almost 1.14 upvotes per hour since I opened my account in the social blockchain?

But the truth is, that I have to confess, that I am not yet 5 years old wandering around the social networks on the blockchain. I still have exactly four months to go before my 5th anniversary fucking within the "social networks" in the blockchain might be celebrated. Where we could have had sprinkling upvotes scattered across our content. Thus, those numbers above, in the quote, cannot be entirely correct.

And for this reason, that's why I'm proposing myself to correct this qualitative exabrupto and quantitative math aberration right away with better numbers.

Providing more accurate figures:

If until now I have received 50 thousand upvotes, then that means that I've had:

  • 10588.24 upvotes per year.
  • 882.35 upvotes per month.
  • 29.41 upvotes per day.
  • 1.23 upvotes per hour.

Yeah! basically the same pretty humble numbers, the same very modest numbers and the same extremely lousy numbers as I had already indicated before in my previous reply. So, why would I have to worry about so much precision?

Well, because in fact, all those numbers are all pure rubbish. A mirage. An illusion. A fallacy. A simple incongruity. ¿Why?

Well, because it's more than clear that I didn't post everyday. Or that on the contrary, that I could have published content several times a day for a week and then hang my balls on my shoulder during two weeks in a row. Or more. Without publishing a damn. Which could also have been very feasible. Among many other options.

So, why bother with such precision?

Ah, because we are curious. And we love showing off through numbers. To be able to compare ourselves with others and compare our results with that of others.

¿What is my fault that God has made me so nice and so handsome?

I usually write and publish posts on varied and diverse subjects. And I've been doing the same thing on the social networks in the blockchain for almost five years. Some of these articles have been slightly noticed and also upvoted. Others a little less noticed and upvoted. And many others, outrightly ignored.

So, how do the numbers and statistics may be accurately calculated on a yearly, monthly, daily or hourly basis in there? ¿You see? ¡bollocks!

In my particular case, I am satisfied to have been me and to remain being me throughout these five years. And not having had to change such as a weathercock who I am or my way of thinking, writing or expressing myself according to the more favorable winds just trying to please the whims of the powerful and wealthy.

I suspect many do not realize the true value of authenticity and being genuine. Being true to your principles and convictions. Being faithful to your ethic and moral. Being loyal to yourself. Unless... we are shown & proved to be wrong.

And how could we be shown that we are wrong? In fact, only with truly thoughtful debates, plenty logic and lots of reasoning. Otherwise, no one would have learned or gained anything. It doesn't matter how many upvotes you have obtained or how much money you have accumulated. If that means you have lost to yourself.

Well, at least that's my way of looking at it maybe because I'm already an old man. And probably in my long journey through this earthly plane, I have already seen too much and I am only interested in separating the wheat from the chaff. Exclusively!

I have already had everything and now and for a long time I have not done more than try not to have anything. Getting rid of everything that weighs me down. Avoid carrying what stagnates me or prevents me from moving smoothly and fluidly towards the exit door. Basically, all material things. That we know are of transitory value. Obviously, without neglecting what we can still offer and bestow to others.

And that my friend. That's something that "puɐʇsɹǝpun ʇ,uoʍ llǝʍ ʎɐɯ noʎ, qnʇ ʎon ɔɐu ɯɐʞǝ ᴉʇ ᴉɟ ʎon ʇɹʎ"
