8️⃣ Years? Really?
I've been on Hive just as long as anyone, but I may have been acquainted with its predecessor longer than some. My account was created on May 19th, 2017. Been a long time. I've been on here for almost as long as my youngest child has been alive!
It puts things in perspective, you know? The commitment. I may not post every single day, and I may not comment on every post I read, but, I'm still here.
I was here before communities existed and built them anyway.
I was here when long form content was the only thing appreciated.
I was here for the bidbot wars.
I was here for RocksDB.
I was here for Mira.
I was here for the birth of Hive.
I was here for pretty much everything.
And still am.
My, how they have grown. I might even say, they've grown more than Hive! I sometimes wonder if it even matters that I'm here. Outside of some personal connections, I don't think it would matter if I disappeared. The higher ups don't actually listen, they have their own agenda and how they want Hive to be. It's like they purposely want us to remain in a low spot so nobody notices and they can keep milking their cows.
I like to eat cows. Hive is getting pretty well aged and it's not putting out any good calves. At least nothing I've seen draw a crowd. Maybe it's time for the slaughterhouse? Guess I should call the butcher and see what he's up to. In the meantime, I'll skulk around and remind you to REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even as I sharpen the axe.
Hive projects I am heavily vested in:
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|
| The Alliance | PIMP District | Precious Metals | Surgent Gaming | NISM | The Pollen Nation | BLEMISH |
|---|
because I can
So Can WE

yup 8 years......
Your youngest only fell asleep lying across your lap.
We are all getting old.....
Love You.
Thank you for being here.
I’m not quite as long as you but pretty close. I’m still here….
!pimp
Long time huh?
Goes fast. My youngest is 8 too.
It's tough being here sometimes. I enjoy the personal connections and the idea of retaking this network from the fat cats at the top who would rather keep us down so they can keep raping it. But I do always wonder if I'm not wasting my time and if I/we couldn't do much better elsewhere.
8 years, wow! 🐴 Time flies when you're racing and building on Hive! Congrats on the milestone! 🎉
Happy anniversary!
#stillhere
HIVE is to cheap to sell out now.. wait for the calf
Man, 8 years is quite the accomplishment! And yes, the kids grow fast! You blink, and they're out of diapers. Blink again, and they're off to kindergarten, grade school, etc.
I appreciate you being here and everything you've built. Personal connections, the communities, and the projects are what keep people here. I still think Hive can be improved and it's not too far gone, but maybe that's just me being overly optimistic.

You just got DUO from @bulliontools.
They have 1/1 DUO calls left.
Learn all about DUO here.
You just got DOOKed!
@bulliontools thinks your content is the shit.
They have 1/400 DOOK left to drop today.
Learn all about this shit in the toilet paper! 💩
I’ve been here for all that stuff too. Content should still be the king of HIVE, but instead we get shit posts like this all the time :P
The fact that kids are born, have had teeth fall out and have started their education, while the blockchain still has people trying to figure out the best way to onboard blows my mind.
But you know what Hive’s real strength is among crypto?
It connects people and brings them closer. I’ve got art on my walls from people I met on HIVE. I’ve strengthened relationships with people I knew IRL and grown on HIVE together.
And hell, I have even lost dear friends that I’ve known on HIVE, to the shadows of the beyond.
The other strength is that we’re a thing in crypto that actually work, has a function, and isn’t a through and through grift (though it depends on who you ask).
I hope that you’ll still be here in eight years, and I hope that we’re still all thriving in some way or another.
Where did the years go? Happy 8 years!😍🎉
Happy 8th-aversary Witty! 🤗
great times being kids
Well, I am glad you are here. The last few days I was going through some thoughts of starting to try and blog elsewhere, but just can't bring myself to do it yet. You are right though it seems dead these days for sure. Not a lot of interaction on posts anymore, mostly autovoting. Even the discords are lacking activity.
Happy Hive Birthday!
Grats on 8 years! You've helped a lot people during those years, myself included. Keep on keepin on.. you are appreciate more than you know. Keep the pimp hand strong. 😄
Don't fire up the BBQ just yet. You never know, there could be a stampede eventually.
!PIMP to that bro

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.
