HPUD & A Random Rant


The internet is currently down across Nigeria due to nationwide protests. In reality, the government is attempting to prevent social media from fully functioning, possibly so that the outside world does not witness firsthand the government's brutality against nationwide protests intended to remind the government that they have failed.

Shutting down the internet through service providers also has a cost. It means that people running businesses over the Internet are unable to do so, but the government does not care if people are unable to provide for themselves or conduct business, especially since they will go to any length to prevent the rest of the world from seeing the ills that are occurring in Nigeria.

HPUD TALK

However, away from all of that. I am here now, and I would not miss the first of August on Hive.

You all know what that means: HPUD. Hive power-up day. Hive's most popular day is HPUD, which is dedicated to encouraging vesting. It is critical to understand that staking is an essential component of the chain that provides you with a voice and an opinion, particularly in matters of governance.

I understand that many people believe that only whales have a voice in governance. However, there are witnesses who support dolphins and orcas more than whales, so any form of vesting with the ability to influence governance is extremely important.

We saw the splinterlands proposal and how it has yet to pass. I hate to bring this up all the time, because normally I believe the SPL proposal should have passed; however, it all boils down to the fact that the people who want the proposal to pass the most do not have enough resources to do so, which is why it is still stalled.

Aside from that, there are numerous use cases for an actual stake, and if you read DALZ's posts, you will undoubtedly learn about some of the most important aspects of staking.

*So I am continuing my monthly practice of staking 200 Hive, that's why I've staked 200 Hive this time..

I used to stake about one hive every day of the month, but I decided to start doing it once a month to track the actual numbers. I still have not staked the amount of Hive I want to, but I do not have the means to do so.

Airdop hunting has not been great; many projects have disappointed, including ones I had high hopes for, and the ones that have yet to launch may simply follow in the footsteps of those that have disappointed their community.

So airdrop hunting may not yield anything worthwhile, as evidenced by the failure of the majority of these projects, and the chances of receiving anything from thedw airdrops to actually purchase Hive are now 50/50. However, I will continue to look for other options.

So, how much Hive did you power up today? Did you achieve any of your goals for the month or year so far? How has your Hive experience and journey been thus far? How are you physically and mentally doing?

Congratulations for staking 200Hive
And for Nigeria, this country don tire me😅😅
This isn’t only about the government but everyone
Have you seen what is happening in Kano?
The protesters are burning down some government offices and some places that are yet to be commissioned by the government
Now, the government will now tell us that they need to rebuild the place and they will be needing billions of naira😅
People are destructive
The government is wicked

Yeah I heard of everything happening with the protest. Unfortunately we've seen it with the one that happened four years ago and it's saddening. I don't think we will learn as voting Tinubu was our biggest mistake.

9mobile seems to be the worst network, had to switch to another line.

From all indication the protest is not a peaceful one and it's so sad that a few persons lost their lives.

200 hive is quite massive, congratulations boss.

Every line is currently not working that's why I think it's a national shutdown. The protest wasn't ever going to be peaceful, the people at the top wouldn't let it

Just going to leave my response to the one out of thousand previous comments you left today.

People only tolerate you for the votes
Interesting, considering I don't vote anyone.

You vote on you're own spam comments every day @buildawhale to earn curation rewards. There are many authors on Hive whom you could support, but you choose not to you keep it to yourself don't you Marcus? You are no good Marcus.

I used to vote over 200 unique authors a day, many of which my vote was their only significant vote, and for over a year every post and every vote I would make would get downvoted for $50 because someone was sad I stopped the abuse they were voting on. I lost my ability to choose what I vote on years ago. It has finally stopped, so I started the burn posts to reduce the inflation due to the wreckless DHF spending. Of course I earn curation rewards, like every single person on Hive. I will not be the only person on Hive to forfeit curation rewards, and to expect that is ridiculous. You are one to talk about spam comments, you are spamming hundreds if not thousands of comments a day.

It seems like THEMARKYMARK is dealing with some personal drama and mental issues, which might be causing them to spam us and others with baby pics, GIFs, and questionable content he's been doing the same for years. The fun doesn't stop there, as this seems to be a recurring theme with multiple online personas. The real question is, do we want to trust these drama-magnets with our hard-earned funds or any significant influence on Hive?

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

@bpcvoter1, sorry! You need more $ALIVE staked to use this command.

The minimum requirement is 1000.0 ALIVE staked (non-delegated stake plus incoming delegations).

More $ALIVE is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex, plus you can win Alive Power delegations in our daily chat on @alive.chat every day.

Sorry to hear about the internet outages due to protests. I hope something can be done to improve the situation for everyone there.

Great job on the HPUD! That's a pretty strong one for sure.

Splinterlands proposal is stalled and Aggy jumping in didn't help either. It just divided people even more. I like Splinterlands and have a lot invested in there and want it to succeed. But to be honest they should have run thing better and they wouldn't be where they are right now. I'm not sure how it's all going to turn out...

How are you doing?

I don't even think I'll stay online that much because the Internet, thanks on the that. I don't really think the power up was massive compared to how much I actually wanted it to look like.

I think they'll getting the funding, I mean splinterlands, but like you've said, the way it was lobbied for, actually messed up the whole thing.

However, it's our biggest flagship project and I think I want it to get the support and be bigger, because we're obviously vested in the game financially and psychologically.

I just knew that the government was behind this network challenges being experienced today, how so callous of them. Well, whether they like it or not, the protest has come to the fore and will continue. Although it hasn't been a peaceful one as envisaged. In some states, properties are being looted and things destroyed. I heard some lives have been lost too. So sad.

About airdrops, let's hope for better days. Hamster is promising something big, I hope they go through with it.

Happy #hpud

They were behind it, they're no questioning what Tinubu government can actually not do. As for the protests. I think it might not yield results because Tinubu is an obstinate man and he doesn't care about anyone.
Just I think lives will be lost in vain and people will keep suffering. The people that are at fault are the ones who collected money to put him there in the first place..

Lol 200 hive is just the smell small Hive savings I do from the first day of the month to the last, I doubt it's much lol, but it's decent.

Today, mtn network has started. It's just they shut down the network around 9am this morning as I feel that the protest is still actually ongoing.

Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you as well.

Regarding HP powering up, I keep my power up levels at the minimum these days, but I am consistent, powering up every day for PUM and every month on HPUD.
