Minecraft shows you how Value Plan is throwing Hive money down the drain
And we have to put up with it, because we do... because its managers @lordbutterfly, @guiltyparties, @crimsonclad, @smooth, and @blocktrades are fine with taking money out of DHF without talking about the ROI their bullshit project and advertising has had.
Does Hive need a value plan?
Does Hive need to invest in projects like these? Well to the constant complaints from the community I refer you. We all complain, ask for results that are never delivered to us, but no way, Blocktrades has a lot of HP, approves, and the others obey and shut up.
I don't know what strange concept of “freedom” the philosophy of these people obeys, but clearly this is not decentralization. It is an oligarchy of plutocratic whales who don't care about your freedom, or mine. They saw an opportunity to steal, so that's what they do. Next will be $100k, be prepared to get ripped off. Because they don't even care about financing communists in Venezuela who don't work and live off Hive coffers.
You can read @valued-customer's articles talking about it, they are more clear and specific than I could ever talk about.
Value plan members never played Minecraft.
Pay attention to me, I'm not just saying that because they clearly don't know shit about marketing.
In the world of video games, few titles have achieved the impact and longevity of Minecraft. Minecraft started as an independent project with a simple concept:
An open world where players could build and explore. This minimalist approach and its pixelated block aesthetics made it a perfect example of a Minimum Viable Product.
From its beginnings, Minecraft did not have large advertising campaigns or million-dollar marketing investments. Instead, its success was built on word of mouth.
Players were fascinated by the creative freedom offered by the game and began to share their experiences in forums, social networks and YouTube videos. This constant flow of user-generated content attracted more players, creating a domino effect that catapulted Minecraft to worldwide fame.
Community as a Fundamental Pillar
The Minecraft community has undoubtedly been the driving force that has kept the game relevant over the years. Players not only enjoy the game, but also actively contribute to its expansion and evolution.
Players have created entire stories and universes within the Minecraft world, enriching the gaming experience and attracting new players. The community has developed countless custom servers and mini-games, offering unique experiences that go beyond the base game.
Without a large investment in advertising, fans have created and sold the game. But Hive needs a value plan, because it can't sell itself. That's the excuse to steal the money that those leeches steal. Except for @guiltyparties, he just does his best not to drool as he falls asleep reading your complaints.
No way, let's keep handing them the money and see what price our token will have in the next 4 years. While we keep on lying to everyone telling them that this is a safe place to protect you from controls and censorship. As long as you don't try to raise your voice against those who control almost everything.

Are you saying that valueplan is wasting or misusing the DHF funds ?
Yeah, I'm convinced that's what they do, throw Hive money down the drain.
ok I did not know this, if this is happening then why community people are not looking at this. any idea ?
Many people are unhappy, but if the whales approve there is nothing to be done. They can take money out of the DHF whenever they feel like it. They put up two nice posters explaining how they rip us off, laugh in our face with 2 Hive stickers cooked to go and bon voyage....
I am surprised that why people are not doing anything if they know about it
Minecraft is a great example of a product that markets itself. Good products do that. Your point about Hive not marketing itself is poignant. There was an explosion of growth on Steem back in 2017. I came on board as part of that influx of users along with ~1m other people that managed the onboarding process, figured out the UI and how to blog, and had at it.
We were on the path to viral growth!
But the bidbots and the flaggots put paid to that. As the unwashed horde of eager users was slowly driven from the platform, the Great Hair hisself, @ned, proposed reforms to stem the tide, slow the ebb of users from the platform, but was shut down by the oligarchy he allowed to govern by not using his Founder's stake to vote witnesses. Unable to fix what was broken, he gave in and gave up, selling out to Sun Yuchen who did use that Founder's stake to govern Steem.
Hive was born, and the community was slashed by acrimony over the fork. Ever since the userbase has continued to shrink until today we have maybe ~3k human beings on Hive.
But the DHF has ~$20M in it (or so I heard, but that was before Valueplan started mining it). That fat Founder's stake that @ned sold to Sun became the DHF, >$6500 per actual living unique Hive user (if there are 3k of us). So, it looks like that arch nemesis of @ned's hair, the oligarchy, has figured out a way to extract that development fund instead of letting the users of Hive benefit from it.
Rally cars and art shows, those made Minecraft popular, right?
No. Turns out they won't make Hive popular either.
Thanks!
You should make a post telling that story, so more people know what really happened. They have been so Machiavellian with their lie that there is even a documentary explaining the story of Hive. It would be nice to know the other side of the coin, for those of us who couldn't live it.
I'm sure the documentary that @lordbutterfly has made will involve the same sequence of events, only they will be described using different adjectives, verbs, and nouns, to provide a very different rational basis for that sequence of events. People that seek to understand the history of Hive and do not know it will be routed to @lordbutterfly's documentary, which is funded and promoted by the oligarchy that pays him well to do so.
Because of this reality, he posted a picture of a knight approaching a windmill, referring to the impossibility of defeating foes that aren't the monsters you believe them to be. However, the reality of the affairs of Valueplan and it's financial practices reveals that practices common to all financial fraud successfully prosecuted are how Valueplan is operating, and the conceit common to all such criminals that think they will never get caught for stealing by those means is nothing new, not unusual at all.
These guys think they are geniuses and that makes them above the law. I'm sure that some of the eyewitnesses to the theft by fraud that has been occurring haven't posted their testimonies on Hive, but have instead provided that information to tips.fbi.gov, and that will produce a vastly different tale than the documentary about Hive made by @lordbutterfly. I am doing my best to make clear to any honest people that have been involved in Valueplan that may not be involved in theft by fraud that Valueplan is not what it appears to be, and they should be very carefully documenting their actions as part of Valueplan to ensure they do not become potential scapegoats or patsies for the criminals committing fraud to testify were the real criminals that committed the financial crimes so that the criminals can get away with their crimes and the innocent be blamed instead.
It is likely that those innocent patsies are aware of the events, and they will regard them with the worldview they have, regardless of what I may or may not say. I am simply providing information about events you and others have revealed that Valueplan is attempting to conceal, so that people that have been heretofore convinced everything is completely fine and legal will be alerted to facts that cannot be true if everything is fine and legal, so that they can reconsider what they have believed and take action based on reality, rather than their prior misunderstanding.
The Hive community has been blessed by your courage and integrity, and I am doing my best to enable them to benefit from that blessing you have made available to them. What they do is up to them.
Deuteronomy 30:15 - “Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster."
The only thing I was paid for was Hivefest.
Your insanity is truly hilarious. 😂
And the patsies and the scapegoats and the oligarchy and the illuminati and the chemtrails and the stolen elections and WEF and the biolabs and the Satanists. Hahaha.
Wanna accuse me of killing JFK?
Truly deranged ramblings of an annon online lunatic.
