After yesterday's DVS stunt, I took an hour this morning to take a closer look at what's going on with this DHEDGE, DVS thing.
I already understood that less is more. I understand that it is better to look for another delegation program instead of this scam. Where the vote harvester, market-manipulators are not present.
I've only looked at a few HP delegator accounts, but based on what I found, I write off Hive even more. Actually, I think it's only a matter of time before it disappears. This is simply not sustainable.
These people, driven by greed, are wreaking massive, continuous destruction.
It's probably worth it to them right now, but when the total collapse comes, they'll lose everything too.
Back to DVS. The number of DVS in circulation has roughly doubled since yesterday, and it will only get worse in the coming days.
Since I see that the vote harvester networks are spreading it around their accounts and stake, probably not a wild assumption that I have just a few days to get back some of the amount I spent on it. After that, the value of the vote will be much, much less. It's hard to say how much, but somewhere between 20-50% in the first week, probably less than 10% within 1 month.
Of course, that was all I had here with DHEDGE, DVS. Yesterday, when I saw what the watchlist-maddogtime account was doing, I tried to pull out some DVS from these f*ckers pocket. I managed to add about 50 more by trading, but this is practically worthless.
These accounts delegated 10k-100k HP to the dhedge account, so approx. they got 600-6000 DVS on the first day. A part was sold on the 2nd market to the unsuspecting poor fellahs, and another part was staked on their vote harvester accounts.
Disgusting. It's not as if that wasn't my opinion about the whole HBI thing. This basic income idiocy has been tested millions of times in the world. It always ended with a huge fall on their face and collapse.
Like everyone else, I was looking for the cheapest solution. It was wrong! DHEDGE, DVS is equivalent to the Chinese 3rd class shoes, which you can throw away after two days and buy again and again, and in the end, it ends there that you could have bought 10 pairs of Prada for the price.
I also find it disgusting that while I regularly come across cases where new Hive users are downvoted for some completely nonsensical thing, these vote harvester networks never get downvotes!
Until now, I was just of the opinion not to spend more on Hive. That has now changed: Get as much as I can out of it, as these esteemed community members have been doing for years.
