RE: What one thing does Hive need to thrive?

With all due respect @themarkymark

It's hard not to have an impression, that you say one thing and do something opposite. You admit that HIVE need more users to thrive, and at the same time you're pushing away many current users out from HIVE with your aggression and hostile behaviours.

We've invested recently 4k usd to purchase HIVE tokens and we've leveraged our voting power via dlease.io. We did it because we wanted to support community which we've been part of for over a year. Our goal was to enjoy curation rewards and upvote content created by people we value. And it seem, that that our investment in HIVE has been nothing but HUGE mistake. Our curation rewards are being wiped out by you. So what's the point in investing even any penny any more?

You've been bullying many small users, only because they are associated with projecthope community. Pushing so many away from Hive. Lately many discord channels (especially those spanish speaking ones) are buzzing with people describing this blockchain as very hostile place to be.

We're currently considering powering down our small stake and selling it. And this is exactly what we recommend to people we know here. You may have forgoten, that person who is unhappy about some product/service will share this feeling with many people. Targeting over 100 users of our community, forcing them to abandon Hive. How bad of a publicity do you think it will bring to this blockchain? Having such a crowd of people, who will share their story with many others.
Story of being abused and humiliated by those, who are supposed to be spine of this blockchain.

Our goal was to invest 1k usd on monthly basis. In Hive. Not in steem. But we're currently considering canceling that plan, since this place is so hostile.
