A tweet by Andreas Antonopoulos two days ago, 13th August disclosed the HEX team offered him 10 BTC to put in a good word about HEX. Andreas is someone I admire a lot within the crypto community, a great teacher and advocate of cryptocurrency, most particularly Bitcoin.
I know nothing about HEX and I have never developed interest in checking it out, so on a personal level I can say nothing about it but when a coin or token struggles to shake off scam related accusation against it, I think I'd think twice about it.
My admiration for Andreas continues, not everyday do we find someone with such integrity, most would have accepted 10 BTC just to put out a good word about HEX or other token out there and careless about its impact.
If HEX is the real stuff it should grow and be of success organically without bribing someone to put in a good word.
Here is another reason why I feel safe with HIVE, we are out there on Twitter spreading HIVE to the world without trying to pay any public figure to talk about HIVE.
What is HEX by the way? I might just look it up if I have free time and not curating on HIVE or playing Splinterlands.
Cheers!
We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
