Me, in the near future.

This is going to be a short open letter of sorts, directed to my friends on Hive. Those who’ve seen me around for the past eight years know I’m in this for the long haul—a ride-or-die kind of thing. The truth is, my enthusiasm for this place, and for what Hive can do for the world, hasn’t faltered one bit. But my circumstances have changed.

I’m out here onboarding people, and as most of you know, I doxxed myself a long time ago. I don’t regret that, per se—I like that people know I’m a real human—but it does have its downsides. And today, I just want to quickly address one of them.

Some of you might already know this, but in case there’s any doubt: the situation in the country I’m living in isn’t great. There’s a lot of danger in the streets, to put it plainly. It’s a common issue in South America, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise. And last time I checked, I don’t own a Daredevil costume—so that’s something to consider.

I’ll be powering down my stake. But rest assured, I’m not going anywhere. I’m just being a little smarter. I need to protect not only myself, but also my family, and being too public requires some adjustments.

Your friend,
MenO
