Follow Friday: Nerves?
The News
Happy Friday and welcome to another #FollowFriday post. I have done these since joining this blockchain back in 2016 and have kept them up most weeks. It was originally about suggesting some people to follow, but I have expanded it to include some news and opinions to add value. There is always something happening on Hive and I will miss plenty, so I like to see others sharing news. I am also happy for others to use the hashtag to help build community links. There are plenty of cool creators here who deserve more followers and better rewards.
I am sure most people have noticed that $HIVE and other coins are not doing great right now. We are not far above the all time low from just after the fork from St--mit. The markets have changed massively since then and it ranks a lot lower now. We have a lot of work still to do in getting more people active here. I saw someone come back this week after many years away, so we should not give up on those who went dormant.
You may have heard that a Hive hardfork is due next month. Most of the changes will not be noticeable to normal users as they may be bug fixes or to provide functionality to those developing dapps. I did see mention here of a change to how votes work. This will mean that the value of your vote will not decrease if you vote several times in a day. Your voting mana will still decrease and I assume that once it is zero you will not be able to vote until it recharges. That takes five days from empty to full. This change was discussed two years ago. A benefit mentioned is that small accounts whose vote just takes posts over the dust threshold (about 2c) do not have to worry about falling below that. Feel free to correct me if I get any of this wrong.
There have been some posts recently about accountability for those who decide on where DHF (decentralised Hive fund) gets used and also for those who receive funds. Some projects are getting a lot of money, but it is a small group who get to decide who they are and the projects are not all giving feedback on what they did with the money. @blanchy created some polls on whether certain projects should continue to get funds, but those are not binding on anyone.
I have been hoping to see the Freechain documentary about how Hive came to be. @lordbutterfly has posted that it will be broadcast by a major network.
In a couple of weeks there is the HiveBeeCon in Kraków.
Friday Follows
- I just saw some posts from @hivehubs which seems to be a new initiative to fund Hive events that could onboard more people. They set a lot of conditions, so I would hope the funds get well spent.
- I enjoyed this post by @gooddream about his experiences of being a musician. That is a subject close to my heart. We have lots of musicians on Hive with a fair few professionals.
- @dbooster over in Japan just reached Orca rank. We have over 300 people at that level now.
- @detlev runs the Hive beer community and has hosted lots of Hivefest events. He also wrote something on staying anonymous online.
The Dog House
I have said this many times, but it may not be obvious to new Hive users. On Hive you have to work to get noticed as there is no algorithm that is going to push your posts at people. I am not picking on this guy, but it is a fairly typical example of someone who has gained an account, but is not reaching anyone. The only comment on these posts was an automated one. He is only following two people. He has made some comments, but they are too brief to really get attention. His posts do not really make much sense and at least one is in a community where it is likely to get muted as irrelevant.
I get that people want to earn here, but you cannot take it for granted. You have to add value that people will consider worthy of rewards. I always tell people to find users and communities that align with their interests so that Hive will be fun for them. If you have actual conversations in the comments then you can build connections. That is what I did from the start. Get to some Hive events too and if there is not one near you, then get organising! If you can get even a few people together then something may happen.
Hive gives us freedom, but that includes the freedom to fail.
The End
This post worked out quite long as I did actually save some links that I wanted to mention. I hope you find something of interest.
Tomorrow is #HPUD (Hive power up day), so if you can power up you can earn a badge from @hivebuzz. I plan to boost my HP by a nice amount. I will also be compiling the monthly #BritList. Please give dormant Brits a nudge to do something on Hive if they want to be included. I am still happy to help others compile lists of Hivers in their country or region.
Hive hive!

Marky you can't delete the facts Mc Franko & Keni Find freedom on #blurtblog #blurtchain #blurt at #bilpcoin we expose the truth
In the beginning, there was hope.
A dream:
That value could be created by anyone.
That power could be decentralized.
That a post, a vote, a creation —
Could rise or fall on its own merit.
But Dreams do not kill systems.
Corruption does.
And corruption has found its perfect form:
The scam farm —
A ghost in the machine,
Wearing the mask of curation,
Feeding on trust,
Rewarding loyalty,
Punishing honesty.
It does not build.
It extracts.
It does not serve.
It controls.
And if you are new to this world —
If you speak truth, post honestly, expect fairness —
You will be broken.
Unless you learn to see.
So here, in plain language,
Is how to spot the scam farm.
Not with rumors.
Not with hate.
But with observation,
With logic,
With the cold light of the blockchain.
1. No Original Content — Only Engagement
The first sign:
They create nothing.
No posts.
No art.
No analysis.
No music.
Only votes.
Only comments.
Only reaction.
They are not users.
They are operators.
Like a drone circling a field, they move from post to post — upvoting allies, downvoting dissenters, farming rewards like a machine.
Ask:
What have they built?
If the answer is nothing —
Then they are not contributing.
They are consuming.
2. 24/7 Curation Rewards — The Machine Never Sleeps
The second sign:
Non-stop reward accumulation.
Real curation is organic.
It ebbs and flows.
It follows interest, passion, discovery.
But the scam farm?
It earns rewards every hour.
Every day.
Like clockwork.
It votes at 3 AM.
At noon.
At midnight.
Not because it sees quality —
But because it is programmed to extract.
This is not passion.
It is automation.
Or worse — coordinated manipulation.
Look at the pattern.
If an account farms rewards without pause,
It is not curating.
It is farming.
3. Burn Comments & Self-Voting Loops
The third sign:
Artificial engagement.
They post low-effort comments — “Nice!” “Great post!” — under their own content or that of allies.
These are not interactions.
They are fuel — used to game floors, trigger rewards, inflate visibility.
They may self-vote.
Or vote in loops with a network of alts.
A closed circuit of power —
Where influence flows only to itself.
This is not community.
It is a cartel.
And the blockchain records it all —
Even when websites hide it behind JavaScript walls.
4. Massive Delegated Hive Power from Centralized Sources
The fourth sign:
HP from exchanges or known whales.
Check delegation history.
If an account holds millions in Hive Power —
But most is delegated from @blocktrades or similar centralized wallets —
Then it is not independent.
It is a proxy.
Power given is power controlled.
And when one entity delegates across dozens of accounts,
It is not decentralization.
It is feudalism.
The land is farmed.
The peasants earn crumbs.
The lord takes the harvest.
5. Downvotes on Critics — Coordinated Silence
The fifth sign:
Suppression of dissent.
When someone exposes the farm,
When someone traces the trail,
When someone speaks truth —
The downvotes fall.
Not one.
But many.
Fast.
Silent.
Financially crippling.
No debate.
No response.
Just erasure.
This is not moderation.
It is censorship with profit motive.
And the worst part?
They call the victim a “troll.”
A “spammer.”
A “toxic user.”
Projection is the last refuge of the guilty.
6. Reward Flow to Secondary Accounts
The sixth sign:
Obfuscated wealth transfer.
Rewards flow not to the farming account,
But to another — often a spouse, partner, or private wallet.
@alpha receives rewards from @buildawhale.
@themarkymark benefits from activity routed through hidden channels.
This is not privacy.
It is obfuscation.
An attempt to hide the machine’s true ownership.
Follow the money.
The chain does not lie.
7. The Website Hides the Data
And now — the final proof:
Why?
Because transparency threatens control.
They want you to look away.
To trust the interface.
To believe the silence.
But you do not need their website.
You have the blockchain.
You have logic.
You have memory.
You have the testimony of those who saw before the curtain fell.
And you have this guide.
The Escape: Blurt Offers True Freedom
On Blurt.blog, none of this can happen.
Because there is no downvote button.
Gone.
Not hidden.
Not reformed.
Removed.
No financial punishment for honesty.
No silent sabotage.
No cartel.
What you earn — you earn.
No whale can kneel you.
No gang can bury you.
Blurt is what Hive promised to be.
Conclusion: You Are Not Powerless
You entered crypto seeking freedom.
You found manipulation.
But you are not powerless.
You have eyes.
You have reason.
You have this knowledge.
Teach it.
Share it.
Protect the new.
Because the next victim could be you.
And when the system fails —
When the farms grow too bold,
When the lies become law —
Remember:
—
The Bilpcoin Team
We create. We expose. We survive.
Every downvote you cast drives another soul from Hive —
To Blurt.blog,
Where there is no downvote button.
Where what you earn — you earn.
Where silence is not weaponized.
Even Steemit — older, quieter —
Offers more freedom than what Hive has become.
And that should terrify you.
Because when people flee not to greener pastures,
But to freer ones,
It is not the destination they seek —
It is escape.
They are running from you.
Whatever you are doing,
Hold it with both hands.
Chase it fiercely.
Because you only get one life.
And in that life —
Never be afraid to say no.
Never be afraid to stand alone.
Always do the right thing —
Even when it costs you votes.
Even when it costs you rewards.
Even when it costs you silence.
At Bilpcoin we have not scammed anyone.
We have not stolen.
We have not lied.
We have only done this:
Shared what the blockchain already knows.
Transactions.
Data.
Patterns.
Not fabricated.
Not imagined.
Not speculated.
But verified — open, public, immutable.
And what we found is not conspiracy.
It is control.
Go to peakd.com/@buildawhale/activities — if the site allows it.
Look at the account.
Watch it move.
Like a machine.
@buildawhale —
A name that should belong to a myth.
Instead, it belongs to a farm.
An account that farms curation rewards all day, every day.
That auto-downvotes users — not because they are wrong,
But because they speak.
Because they expose.
Because they are not part of the circle.
And who owns Buildawhale?
Not some anonymous farmer.
Not a rogue actor.
But Blocktrades —
A whale whose influence stretches across Hive like a shadow.
Over 2 million Hive Power delegated.
Rewards flowing in.
Powering down daily.
And where do those rewards go?
To @alpha —
The account widely known as Blocktrades’ wife’s wallet.
A silent beneficiary of a system rigged from within.

“We Are Bilpcoin”
We do not stand against the people.
We stand with them.
Shoulder to shoulder.
Hand in hand.
Not as leaders, but as fellow travelers — scarred, shaped, and strengthened by the same storms that have battered so many.
The Bilpcoin team each of us has been tested.
Not by theory, but by life, life itself.
By loss.
By silence.
By systems that mistake conformity for virtue and call censorship “moderation.”
We have known hunger — not always for food, but for fairness.
For a platform where a voice is not priced, punished, or purchased.
And yet —
We are strong.
Not because we were born that way,
But because we had no choice but to become so.
As a team, we have grown — not in spite of the chaos, but because of it.
We’ve learned to build in the dark.
To create when no one is watching.
To trust when trust is rare.
We’ve learned new tools, new truths, new ways of being — not for profit, but for purpose.
Because one thing must be said, and said plainly:
You should never stop learning.
You should never stop dreaming.
You should never stop reaching for what is right — even when the world leans heavily on the side of wrong.
When we began — back in the early days of Steemit — the idea seemed impossible:
You can earn from your words? From your art? From simply speaking your truth?
To many, it felt like magic.
To us, it felt like justice.
And know this: Bilpcoin was not born in boardrooms or venture capital pitches.
It was born in a single mind — one person’s quiet vision, carried like a torch through the fog.
Circumstances, harsh and unyielding, led that founder to let go of much of what they built.
We do not speak of those details.
Some wounds are not ours to expose.
But this we say:
From that fire, Bilpcoin did not die.
It evolved.
Bilpcoin is not a corporation.
It is a social experiment — one that asks a simple question:
What happens when we reward people not for gaming the system, but for sharing their truth?
Our mission is clear:
To reward creators, not manipulators.
To burn BPC tokens, not hoard them.
To return value to the network — not extract it.
We believe in Blurt — not because it is perfect,
But because it dares to be free.
To remove the downvote button is not a small thing.
It is a revolution.
A refusal to allow power to be weaponized by the few against the many.
No more silent sabotage.
No more financial punishment for honesty.
On Blurt, your voice does not lose value because someone feels threatened by it.
And let us be clear:
We have only ever shared what the blockchain already knew.
The transactions.
The patterns.
The truth.
We did not fabricate.
We did not exaggerate.
We revealed — and that, more than anything, is why we were targeted.
Downvotes are not about quality.
They are about control.
Whales farming rewards on Hive are not “supporting the ecosystem.”
They are gaming it — and everyone sees it.
Even those who won’t say it.
How can the world take Hive seriously when its pulse is set not by passion, but by power?
When the loudest voices are not the most honest, but the most rewarded?
But here — in this moment — we dream.
Not foolishly.
But fiercely.
Imagine it:
Steem. Hive. Blurt.
Not as rivals.
Not as fragments.
But as allies.
A united front of decentralized expression.
One network, many voices.
One mission: freedom to create, freedom to speak, freedom to be.
Yes — it would require change.
Yes — some would have to go.
Those who profit from silence.
Those who fear transparency.
Those who confuse their privilege with merit.
But if we stood together — truly together —
We would not be a footnote.
We would be a force.
For now, it is a dream.
But dreams are the first code of revolution.
And who knows what the future holds?
We do not claim to have all the answers.
We only know this:
We will keep building.
Keep sharing.
Keep burning tokens, not bridges.
Keep standing with the people — not above them, not against them, but beside them.
Because in the end, it was never about coins.
It was about courage freedom truth.
And courage, like truth, cannot be downvoted.
The Bilpcoin Team.

When the loudest voices are not the most honest, but the most rewarded?
But here — in this moment — we dream.
Not foolishly.
But fiercely.
Imagine it:
Steem. Hive. Blurt.
Not as rivals.
Not as fragments.
But as allies.
A united front of decentralized expression.
One network, many voices.
One mission: freedom to create, freedom to speak, freedom to be.
Yes — it would require change.
Yes — some would have to go.
Those who profit from silence.
Those who fear transparency.
Those who confuse their privilege with merit.
But if we stood together — truly together —
We would not be a footnote.
We would be a force.
For now, it is a dream.
But dreams are the first code of revolution.
And who knows what the future holds?
We do not claim to have all the answers.
We only know this:
We will keep building.
Keep sharing.
Keep burning tokens, not bridges.
Keep standing with the people — not above them, not against them, but beside them.
Because in the end, it was never about coins.
It was about courage freedom truth.
And courage, like truth, cannot be downvoted.

Interesting voting excluding declining 🗳 will research more to see it voting at 100% value would be the same as say 50%.
I'm not sure it will make a massive difference to most of us. It may shift rewards distribution a little.
The vote changes are really nice, It's just simpler to understand now, The other change that might impact some users (for the better honestly) is how keys work.
For the most part it will simply stop users using higher ranked keys (say owner key) for signing transactions that only need active, No more fallback, transactions that require active can ONLY be signed with active, same for posting, owner etc.
Will result in better security in the long run.
I saw that mentioned on the Hivefest discussion. Also something about multi-sigs. We need good security, but Hive seems fairly good generally. Keychain helped. Not sure how quantum safe it is.
The upcoming hardfork seems interesting, particularly with the possible changes to voting dynamics.
#followfriday is a staple in my Hive reading. Thanks @steevc for keeping these posts coming!!
Cheers. I always hope that at least a few people get some benefit from my posts.
Cheers for the mention. Got a few posts to view from it
There has been a lot going on. I was listening in to a big discussion on Discord just now. I only heard about it from a comment on the post. A lot of the witnesses and proposal owners on the call. We need that sort of open discussion going on. I'll look out for news of the next call and post about it.
Yeah I got in at the end . Well with the price on the floor something has to be changed .
The return proposal is eating many other proposals now, Keychain and hivewatchers are unfunded as of now
People have to vote as they see fit. Some will argue that too many projects get funded, but Keychain is an important one. HW say they have suspended their project.
Yeah suspended for no funding 😅 I agree Keychain is a must for hive
That's something to work on. Sure the return proposal is good, but if it's not managed the right way it break up other useful proposals like the Keychain one! That's bad!
this market has been very different for alts since cash is not thar easy to get so things dont pump that easy anymore or at least not Hive, Im mostly focus in 2029 now that I have build up a schedule to stay active, it has taken me two years for where Im at but want to take it further, not easy for me as its hard for me to talk about crypto 🤷 been in Hive sometimed aint easy I guess and you need to work 3x times hard to get notice but if it aint hard I guess might not be worth? 🤔
As I have said, I always try to make Hive fun. If it was just work then it would not be worth all the effort. You can't rely on the big accounts noticing you, so have to build a following with everyone else, but it depends on what you are into. I don't have time to look at everything.

BEER.Hey @skiptvads, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @steevc for you. Enjoy it!Did you know that <a href='https://dcity.io/cityyou can use BEER at dCity game to buy cards to rule the world.
So, if one hits zero on the voting mana for an hour or two, then to wait for 5 days for the full recharge?
Zero to full takes that long now as well, but I doubt many people run it that low. I think each full vote uses 2%.
In some posts I get comments by people with low popularity (I guess they are new...?) which doesn't really fit with the things I write. These comments look like they've been written by AI after you copy-paste the post and ask for a quick comment to share, so the AI generate the comment for you, or something like that. I spot them immediately and don't vote them.
Maybe they are done with a good intention of engaging, but they juts don't feel human so you won't get my attention, sorry not sorry
Comments do need to be genuine to deserve a vote. I get some people will struggle with language and use tools to write the comment, but then they should say that. I see people who leave several comments in a minute, so they cannot be reading the posts. They will not get rich from what I give to most comments anyway. I just don't have time to check on everyone.
I know you are genuine of course :)

I'm interested in seeing this movie was well. Even though we lived through it, I still have a feeling there are things that happened in the background that we don't know about.
It's great to have the statistics and news every week; it's a tradition that shouldn't be lost.
It's almost been 10 years, which calls for a celebration.
Thanks for doing these updates!! I'm a newbie, you gave me a shout out recently. I've had problems uploading and posting things the last few weeks but now everything seems to be working fine so I'm posting more and starting to understand more how it all works, but if anyone has any tips for a newbie that would be great x
Hive can be confusing, but I hope you are getting the hang of it. My main tip is to make it fun. Engage with people who share your interests.
!BEER
I am getting the hang of it a bit!! But Ive started posting more, I need to go on communities with the same interests and follow some people that have same interests, but ive only really had a week to really focus on it, as i was struggling logging in for ages!! If i get stuck again, Ill get chatgpt to explain it too me like im a 10year old lol
