I am well aware that some actions on the Hive blockchain (devs) are similar to other areas of the interwebs, specifically Steem.

I'm certainly new to Steem and Hive and just because I write a bid bot and post about it, my posts get downvoted by whales.
If you wanted me off this chain you could simply just tell me.
Ruining my rewards simply because you do not agree with my choice, utilizing your "STAKE" just to ruin it for me.

In my honest opinion and experience on this chain so far, some are leaving due to the hypocrisy. So because you have "STAKE" and voting power you can downvote posts to ruin rewards with no comment.

That to me is the same antics as Justin Sun and company, the ones you continue to complain about on this new chain as if you created something totally different (ehhm). Arent you just calling the kettle black.

Where is the whitepaper?

This Kind of makes me wonder why HIVE hasn't made a whitepaper.
Seems like that is a good way to leave intent at the door and to allow the people with "STAKE" to proceed in doing what they want.
