🎉 Hive Turns 6! What an incredible journey it's been... #MyHiveJourney🎉
And I'm still here writing my life story, one post at a time ❤️
Hey Hive family,
Our beautiful decentralized home is about to turn 6 years young on 20th March (since the big fork on March 20, 2020) and I couldn't let this moment pass without sharing my story with all of you.
My Hive (well, Steem back then) journey actually began on July 3, 2017. I was just another curious soul who grabbed some STEEM when it was hovering near $1 with the thought, “At best I can lose it all” - that typical crypto investment sentiment. In fact, I exchanged a little bitcoin from https://freebitco.in/ ( I still love to roll even knowing that they have shut down) for steem to start with and started posting some random contents to experiment this new journey. And I must tell you that it was very exciting to get even few cents upvotes on my posts at that time and over time, that made me to come up with a strategy to write something on this chain with passion. Fast-forward through the 2020 fork, and here I am – still going strong on Hive, writing my life story, one post at a time. Through the fork drama and everything since then, Hive has become my only social home. No Insta, no FakeBook, no drama — just real people, real stories - though I post my hive stories there so that people can come over here - a little hive marketing.
As you have seen over these years, “My blog is my life” — that's not a tagline, it's literal - I have chosen to write my life story on this chain, creating some immutably recorded memoirs with original, passionate, Hive-exclusive content. This blockchain is a perfect place to write our golden memoirs that will be valuable more than anything else in few years, as we grow older. This chain has given me:
🌱 A place to document garden magic — capturing some of my best moments of real hard work (to remind me that being dutiful is the best way to live the life), stunning photo shoots and Hive Garden journals.
👨👩👧👦 Family highs & lows — Friendships, Reunions, Hospital recoveries, tough days, and those typical “life always has a twist” moments.
🍲 Food adventures — Posting our experiments of food to review of some great food places and writing and making them part of my google review - another hive marketing effort.
🚶♂️ Health wins and Minimalist mindset — Documenting my health journey to minimalism mindset shifts (“you're never as trapped as your mind tells you”).
🗺️Travel adventures - I love to travel and there cannot be a better place to create our travel memoirs with so many active and highly engaging communities on this chain.
🎉 Festivals & joy — And last not but the least - our Festivals are what keeps us alive - the rituals, the colors, the people, the places, the celebrations - I mean life is all about that, isn't it ?
Through it all, communities like Hive Garden, Silver Bloggers, Worldmappin, The MINIMALIST, The Ink Well, Foodies Bee Hive and more have kept me motivated, engaged, and growing. Hive hasn’t just given me a platform… it has given us true friends, daily motivation, priceless memories, and a sense of belonging no centralized app could ever match. Through every high and low, you all have kept me writing, walking, connecting, and exploring! Hive hasn't just survived 6 years — it has thrived because of people like YOU. Thank you for every upvote, comment, and your virtual shoulder - You all are part of my memories, my motivation, and my healing.
Happy 6th Birthday, Hive! Here's to many more years of stories, steps, gardens, feasts, Joys and unbreakable bonds. Let's keep building this amazing decentralized family together! 🚀💛
This post is in response to the #MyHiveJourney prompt from @hivecreators - see this post for full details and don't forget to write about your journey before the deadline 📆 March 19 (the day before hive's anniversary)- together we all make this place our beautiful home.

And then I've been here for the same amount of time, working and having interesting conversations with a lot of people on this platform.

What a great post and much better look at Hive as a place to document our lives on an immutable blockchain instead of looking at Hive as just an investment or source of income.
a very handsome man
Always love seeing your posts and videos too, brings back memories of my trips to your beautiful country.
Thank you, may be you plan to come again ?
Well I always say never say never, and it is one place Mrs T wants to see

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

You write very eloquently. It was a pleasure to read and I just smiled at the "hive marketing idea" ... I am going to be doing that as well! 🥳
