New Closest To The Pin Contest 📈🪙
The S100 Silver Continuous Contract (Nymex) & Last Gold Contest’s Winner!
Contest Is Done Friends ⬇️
well @hivewatchers randomly DV’d to zero basically, and implied to me if do any contests where the post rewards are the prize I will be blacklisted. Either way it’s clear hey will zero out so After 5 year run of fun it’s over friends! It was a lot of fun following and guessing Gold & Silver actions over the years! I know some of u only log on to play and it’s a bummer but I don’t see another way to do it? Entry fee I just don’t see working for this kinda game. I’m open to suggestions but with Hive bleeding users I’m just gonna take the L and close this contest down permanently. I don’t see it working any other way. It sure was fun though! Cheers!
PS - I discuss markets 3-4 days a week and especially metals price action! So don’t be a stranger!

Hey bud, please read rules. This is the second week in a row you haven’t. I thought it was honest mistake last week but now it’s twice in a row. Thanks 👍
Ohh haha!
It was an honest mistake last time and this time xD
I just don't read everything to the point, I skip a lot xD
Just don't include the guess then? xD
And u still didn’t. Just please don’t comment on my posts anymore. Thanks
Buddy Buddy..
Voting buying here on Hive, is really frowned upon, you know this already :) So maybe stop? :)
I dunno what's so hard about understanding the prize comes from post rewards. If players don't upvote then there is no prize. Everybody else in ur HP position contributes. Or sure why it being like this. But I don't have time for it. Either participate or don't. Thanks
Well, we got rid of that UPVOTE contests/giveways shit, a lot time ago. You should know :)
Pussy
OMG. Please dont call me that.
Thats sooooo hurtful! Think of my feelings :c
This is not place! Call him names on his own posts not mine please 🙏

You must be deceiving and post an unrelated contest that doesn’t work same way? Gene was talking about this post. The football post is totally different. Very interesting you must lie. No wonder hive is bleeding users. You sir r very bad man!
The sentence said "that post" ot "this post".
Regardless, both posts are abusive as they involve vote selling.
Hive's reward pool has been bled enough by these vote-trading contests and/or fake giveaway schemes.
It's got to stop.
Also, provide evidence of "Very interesting, you must lie."
You are lying scum. Fuck off
Contest canceled 😞

Please decline rewards on such posts, or they will be considered a vote-trading scheme.
Huh? What are u talking about? The whole thing is the post reward is the prize. Why would u have a problem with this? It’s literally a 5 year running thing. Why do you take issue ?
You are literally DVing post that brings positive interaction to Hive. My 6 year running contest is canceled. I won’t do anymore. But this is ridiculous. Giving away 100% of reward and having a fun game to interact is now your priority?
And keeping all HP power for yourself?
This is a vote-buying/trading.
If you wanted to bring positive interaction, you would have declined rewards on these posts.
And in that post, you win your own contest?

I do not. I pay extra HBD, go look at past. I only keep what I owe in taxes, 25%. I give half the HP reward to winner in HBD. Man you have gone full ridiculous. I will never do a contest again. No wonder hive is bleeding users. Take care, but respectfully, u make assumptions that are lies regularly. Just ask me to not accept reward on the football pool, that’s fine, but u try to make it like I did something wrong by winning one week? U can’t rig the sports score bro, yes I bought an entry, U seriously don’t understand what ur implying. It’s fine if u told me to not accept rewards but now u imply shady accusation? Ridiculous.
A simple don’t accept rewards on contests comment would have been fine. But you just go on and make up additional accusations that are bogus, it’s ridiculous.
Also, there has been clear scheming of tags in every single post. The posts are edited a few times with time intervals to hit as many autovoting trails and curations as possible (often spamming unrelated tags) to fish for as many votes as possible.
Now you literally making nonsense claims, I don’t even know what u mean by editing in certain windows. I edited in the last football games. I won’t stand for false attacks on me. That’s ridiculous. Are we done here? Gates ur really pissing me off. No contests based on rewards for winner, got it 👍
But these other claims, on editing to fit some window? I literally don’t even know WTF that means. That’s a lie and I don’t understand why ur coming at me with assumptions and bullshit. I said I’d comply, you can stop the ridiculous nonsense of trying to tell me I edit and do you Claim ti get best what? I don’t even understand it.
No more contests,
Have a good day
The tags do not edit themselves on their own.
I know ur job isn’t easy, but it really seems like instead of giving guidance, ur just trashing me outta nowhere. If I’m wrong no big deal.
Ok just so we are clear!
No Contests Posts where rewards go to winner
& Entry based contest post even if it’s an entry fee and nothing to do with rewards, This one I don’t understand the issue but ok. So on this one, if I don’t accept reward, I can still do it right? Ur issue isn’t 10 adults each throwing 1 HBD into a pile and winner gets all 10. Ur just saying no rewards can be accepted right?
Ok 👌
Vote trading has been frowned upon since 2016.
There is no issue if rewards on these gambling posts were declined ot if all rewards, including HP, go to participants. The post clearly asked for votes.
Choose the tags when you publish the post and select relevant tags. The tags on Hive don't work like on Instagram or Facebook because the content is monetised here.
Editing tags every few hours on each post looks like an attempt to scheme different curations.
https://hive.blog/hivewatchers/@hivewatchers/the-game-of-tags-updated-guide-2020
Yes indeed. The twice a month “Closest 2 Pin” absolutely did require vote. 100%. That’s how it worked, reward was the prize! No denying it , it’s because rewards go to contest winner. I can respect it not being permitted. I only had questions about the other issue u cited because I have no idea how editing a post gains additional value to me. But I do understand rest. Anyway , if I ever need to edit , just don’t change a tag, right? I honestly don’t know how this gains system so I’m just confirming it, issue isn’t needing to make an edit, it’s a tag change?
This is the truth, I often edit in a vlog update , if I post on Monday morning , I’ll often post price updates at noon so late viewers get update. I do that weekly, however I don’t have some routine of changing tags, if it happened it was for a reason & rare. So again I understand there’s some benefit I don’t understand so I will make sure I don’t do that for any reason! But I just need to Understand, I’m editing posts on my market vlogs us something I do often to update data! Ur not saying that’s issue? Only issue is changing a tag? I just wanna make sure I understand?
I didn't mention anything about editing writing in the post. The issue was with keeping editing tags multiple times in each post to hit multiple curations/communities. Many tags edited/used were not related to the content of these posts.

I really wanted to see @fw206 go 4 weeks in a row! Oh well 😔
🫤👍🏻
I really had fun hosting & participating! Bummer!
HW is retard.
It seems that everything that is fun and gets engagement and oh yes transactions on Hive is to be outlawed. I thought two fucking teir Keir Starmer was the worst despicable creature I have seen, here takes the biscuit.
How is this vote trading... If it has been illegal since 2016 why is it being flagged now?
But hey ho let's kill all the fun on Hive and keep driving users away.
It’s really insane. Honestly I am getting close to powering down everything and leaving. Not over a 2x a month contest, but just everything. DHF fraud, HW making bogus accusations and telling people they must Doxx themselves to avoid DV’s. I know Hive price will be much lower in 12-18 months, yet I stay because I love the community. I know the drop in dollar terms will be far more than any effort earns me next 2 years yet I stayed. I dunno anymore.
Hive for me is all about the people, but I am speaking to more and more exHivers in discord/whatsapp etc than I am getting engagement on Hive. So yes the fun in Hive is being lost for a lot of people. So many people that started Hive with me have in the last year pretty much given up, that is a sad state of affairs and unless things pick up, activity is just going to get worse and worse. We all know the price of an downward trend so that won't attract new users.
Exactly what I’m seeing & feeling!
And I know many said it was to get offline to spend more time with family, but the timing is clear, not everybody has same realization same year who’s been around since 2017. It’s being milked by shakes at a crazy extent. It’s more noticeable now due to how small community is & volume is. I don’t make much past year, I also do it for community for sure! But it’s getting more ridiculous than it’s been. I dunno brother, I might finish 2025 strong & than peace out.
I’m @GeneEverett33 on discord. Follow me there & we can have critical talk in private. At this rate we’ll be DV’d just for talking about this 🙃
!PIZZA !ALIVE !BBH
This HW saw that I was defending a newbie, came to my post, and commented. He said that I have several posts that contain only about 100 words and that could be considered spam. What an idiot. I bought 25,000 HIVE in September and I'm not going to leave. I'll probably buy 1 million HIVE if the price is $0.06 and help those people who have suffered unfairly at the hands of HW.
Have u supported the return Proposal? This HW guy gets paid daily outta our community funds. It’s ridiculous! If u haven’t vote return proposal, if it goes higher than HW proposal it stops .
I've never voted for or against proposals. I barely had any HP, and I've been waiting for the token price to drop for a year and a half, so I've only bought a little bit now. How's the voting going? Are there a lot of HP voting for the HW revocation?
It’s pretty silly not to vote for Return. It’s the thing everything else has to bear to get funded. You should really vote it.
Go vote my guy. Return proposal.
https://wallet.hive.blog/proposals
This? https://ecency.com/proposals/0
I don’t use that front end but should be yeah. U wanna vote for Return. This one..
Whatever this passes gets unfunded.
Unfortunately the HW one is 6 million ahead but ur doing an important thing voting for return. To many people who complain don’t even bother, which is nuts.
If u see any proposals u like and want funded vote for them too, but frankly the DHF is printing way too much Hive & HBD. I consider much of it fraud and abuse but the whales vote for a lot of trash.
I'll vote today. But the objective reality is that until the HIVE price drops significantly further, the cost situation won't improve. Maybe when HBD approaches its peg, the whales will reflect on the enormous selling pressure HIVE was under.
!PIZZA !ALIVE !BBH
I gotta be honest, I do see the obvious Hive dip coming when rest of space goes into bear market in 2026/2027, but I’m not seeing reason it’s not lower by way more in 4/6 years. The fact we are in bear market and 35% below 2022 low while Bitcoin & others are much above there 2022 lows, like hive is in bear market while rest is in bull. I see no reason we don’t just keep going lower the way things are going. I’ve been. True believer for years, but what I’m seeing now I don’t think I’d buy at .06 cents because I don’t know why it would go back up consistently years after. I hate feeling that way but it’s just stay I’m seeing.
It's hard to guess the minimum price of the token. But it does exist. There's a limited supply of HIVE, and I think a minimum market cap of $20-30 million would be fair. Let's say there's an offer of 100 million HIVE on exchanges. I could buy back 1-2 million, and I think there would be other buyers (including current whales). Such capitalization is possible even without large exchanges; 100-200 whales is the limit on Hive, such people will exist.
The sad truth is most hive accounts just play ball. Hive is a manipulated circle jerk by a group of big fish. You write comment you might buy million plus hive? You’d be a fool to do so. If it goes down it’s not coming back. In my country we know how this works long run.
Check out my post I just put up. It got long winded but skim it.
Listening to it now
Anything that drives engagement is banned. How lame!
It’s so fucking stupid!
!PIZZA !ALIVE !BBH
Even worse HW gets paid outta DHF. This place is not gonna be a success. Sad truth.
That depends on how you define success. From the perspective of the OG whales that have maintained capture of >90% of the inflation from the rewards pool since Steem advented, I see that Hive is very much a success, and has been all along. Because you and I are not part of that cabal, our definition of success varies significantly from theirs, and requires growth, engagement, rising token price, and much more. For the OG whales, those are failure, because all of them would attract outside interest in the platform and there are many investors to whom Hive's market cap is lunch money, as Sun Yuchen demonstrated with Steem, and were such stake attracted to Hive the cabal presently capturing most of the financial rewards, as well as mining the DHF, would be unable to keep control of the platform and would lose their golden goose.
Ok ok. Still I think without core average users. The fame big fish play is more obvious without these average smaller users no? Why why?
Why do this account does this? It’s like they want Hive to fail and push good users off platform? Very strange.
50 dollars even please.
