The Hive blockchain was built with a vision, to create a decentralized platform where creators are empowered, voices are heard, and value is shared fairly.
Over time, many have joined the ecosystem with great passion, contributing authentic content, engaging with others, and supporting the growth of the community. But as Hive grows, a critical question quietly echoes in the minds of some users: Are some people becoming greedy and selfish in the Hive blockchain community?
The truth is, yes, just like in any human environment, some individuals in the Hive space have begun to exhibit traits of selfishness, greed, and entitlement. You’ll notice accounts that rarely engage with others, yet consistently vote only for themselves. Some grow their stake but invest little in helping newcomers or uplifting others. While this might be disappointing, it's not unique to Hive, it’s a human tendency that shows up wherever freedom and value exist.
However, this shouldn't overshadow the incredible generosity and community spirit that still exists on Hive. Many curators go out of their way to support small accounts. Communities like Hive Learners, Dreemport, Freewriters, and others are constantly working to include and mentor new users. People like that are the backbone of Hive, and their actions remind us that Hive's true strength lies in collective growth.
Greed on the blockchain may bring temporary rewards, but it cannot build lasting influence or respect. Hive isn’t just about earning crypto, it’s about building a reputation, forming relationships, and leaving a legacy. When someone focuses only on themselves, they cut off the very essence of what makes Hive special , community.
So, what’s the solution? Be the change you want to see.
Support and uplift smaller accounts.
Leave thoughtful comments.
Share knowledge freely.
Celebrate others’ wins as you work towards your own.
Let’s not allow selfishness to define our space. Let generosity, support, and consistency be our culture. After all, Hive thrives when we grow together.
Yes, some may appear greedy, but they are the exception, not the rule. Choose to stand out by being different. Be a light in this digital village.
I’ll end with this quote:
“You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.” Winston Churchill
Together, let’s keep Hive beautiful. 💙💥
