@stickupcurator and @brofund I will be rebloging all the accounts @stikcupcurator is downvoting so people can see what I am saying. Not sure what the deal is. SUB downvotes without talking. Ray and Cherie, if you have in any info on this it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi, buddy:
I understand your anger. I’ve also had many of my posts downvoted by @stickupcurator for no clear reason, so I’m angry as well and want to know what’s going on.
However, I have to point out that reblogging all posts that were downvoted by @stickupcurator may not really solve the problem. On the contrary, it might create a poor experience for all the users on HIVE who follow you — for example, when I open my feed now, I can’t properly browse other friends’ posts anymore.
There is a way to quickly query all posts that were downvoted by @stickupcurator, which is by using HIVE SQL:
select top 200 * from txvotes
where voter= 'stickupcurator' and weight < 10
order by timestamp desc
Here is a partial example of the results.

I hope this can be helpful.
I do not think most people realize SUB is targeting antiabuse folks out of vengeance. I think people should know and we should talk about it.
If people do not want to follow me that is ok. They do not need to. You know my account name. You can look me up.
I am sorry it is spamming the feed but I would like all of SUBs actions in one place so people can see what he has done and that he is supporting this. You can now see that on my blog and my blog tells a story besides just the things that are written in my post. It is my time on HIVE. It will always be remembered.
You came and talked too. This helps and does make a difference. People need to know this happened and can happen with other L2 projects very easily. It will happen again with someone else. It is inevitable. People also need to know they can speak up like you have and get positive feedback on HIVE when they try to do the right thing.
To me, it seems like when people try to do the right thing on HIVE right now, they get punished and made fun of. People talk about money over values and talk about stepping away from the PC as if HIVE is not perpetual.
As if this is a joke and it does not matter. It does matter.
Some people in my real life think this whole rug is not real. They do not think BRO or Ray is real. It sounds made up. The whole thing is ridiculous.
But when you read my blog and you see people like you interreacting with me. This is real. Ray did post these things. Ray actually cannot delete it.
And so I cannot undo what I did either. I should have not reblogged all these things. Hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes. And if not, hopefully someone will show them grace like you did for me.
Cheers!
Hi, my friend:
I strongly support the work you’re doing—for example, bringing this issue into the open so everyone knows what happened, helping prevent similar situations from happening again, or more precisely, reminding us all to stay alert and avoid being taken advantage of.
That is the goal. Just try to make sure less people get hurt next time.
People will still try to support them and act like it's ok. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Did you forget that I'm The Potato Dragon on HIVE.... it is a BRO thing lol
Want to see a good case of abuse? Check out the wallet of @rolan555. You'll see that many Hive accounts sent him Hive. And if you look at them, you'll see the massive amount of money he farmed on the network with multiple accounts.
Someone recently said that there are no low-quality posts, only bad curation. And I think that person is right. Some curators indirectly lined Rolan's pockets with their poor curation.
You should check the wallet of @stickupcash; you might discover that Stick also lost money with BRO. You'll see 1307 BRO tokens. Also, a few LGN. He had a few Hive tokens there.
You are falling for the scam. He has the tokens because he was in on it.
I promise you. SUB would sell them for money if he thought it was worthless and he could get something out of it.
I do not agree with you. I think the first line of defense is people who create the content. The content posted here does matter. My vote does not write anything. We need real people to write things worth curating.
I’ll look into the other accounts you mentioned. Thank you for letting me know.
People who do illegal acts and who promote scams should not be promoted or defended here. It is not ok and people do go along with it naturally here.
"People who do illegal acts and who promote scams should not be promoted or defended here. It is not ok and people do go along with it naturally here." I generally agree with this. Scams are unacceptable.
I only see an artist. You see something else. I bought some BROs after the crash as a memecoin and as a souvenir, nothing more.
@diegoloco I know you were being a troll but to me this is serious so I just am not entertaining your approach.
"The most" was a joke back at you (:
Don't worry, if there's one thing the next bear market promises, it's blood and pain.
In the crypto world, any project can easily go under in a single day. I've seen some good projects fail.
A striking example was IronFinance. I saw the Titan token plummet from $60 to almost nothing in a single day. The culprit was a hacker who drained their treasury by issuing too many tokens.
And they can fail for many reasons; it's not always a scam.
If it has a single point of failure and that is not clearly communicated to all investors in a transparent way, to me that could potentially end up being a scam.
It is not technically a scam but it is weird this happens so much because most people in crypto assume things are decentralized first without asking questions. A lot of that does come down to the investors doing their own research to be fair.
But you are right, lots of projects fail just because of poor management and a lot of these projects were originally intended to do something great but that did not work out. Happens all the time in the real world and it will happen in crypto. I am not denying that.
I don't know the whole story behind Bro. And I haven't seen the complete script.
There's a lot of missing information. A project can fail for many reasons. It's not always a scam.
What is wrong, though, is going around saying the token is worthless, sell it. It's unforgivable from my point of view. But it leads to an immediate drop in the token's price due to sales on the exchange and in the liquidity pool.
It's also not good to resort to mystical delusions and argue with half the network. Although it is entertaining to watch the arguments.
Altcoins are still falling. I was hoping BTC would drop a bit and money would flow into altcoins, but I'm not seeing that. The entire market is falling along with BTC.
Most Bitcoiners invested in Bitcoin Treasury companies this cycle and lot of these companies peaked in price and already deflated. https://bitcointreasuries.net/
I mostly trade stocks and was an early investor in a lot of these Bitcoin treasury companies. I made money on some and lost money on some also. These trades did not fundamentally change anything on my end financially and was mostly a waste of time in the end, like alts tend to be in my opinion lol. Just better to buy BTC for most people I guess 🤣 NFA DYOR
Tradfi is in crypto hard now; they will make more money than retail ever did and Tradfi will never walk away from this. It is just too easy to make money for them right now. Tradfi wants their inherently greedy hands on everything crypto except HIVE for some reason. That makes HIVE really valuable and most people do not appreciate this on HIVE. (There are lots of good people in tradfi, many people just want a job and want to buy things for their family. But finance and trading is inherently greedy. People need to be careful always because getting greedy will impact people's trades and will cause them to make irrational bets).
Many Bitcoin treasury companies now trade to a discount to their Bitcoin which is strange and probably means that party is over. But who knows? I don't know, it is just a theory if anything.
It will be interesting to see what Bitcoiners rotate into next cycle if Bitcoin Treasury "season" is over. I believe Bitcoin Treasury "Season" is over but I could be wrong. None of this is financial advice and I am mostly exploring ideas with people like you who do not agree with me on a lot of things but want to talk.
These conversations are valuable to me and I do use them to make more informed decisions.
Ray believed in Alt Season and he waited and waited and everything blew up and he thinks it's HIVE's fault. That is my opinion anyways and I do not believe Ray is the only person that has been doing this. The majority of people in crypto and the real world think like Ray did. "Just wait, and we will get rich...." Seems irrational 🤷♂
!PIMP
!PIZZA
I saw a video that said we're past altcoin season. And it might be true. We've already seen altcoins with prices much higher than current ones, even with BTC lower.
I don't give financial advice. I think the best thing about these situations is that everyone has to make their own decisions and, above all, learn from their own mistakes.
It's also good to hear different opinions.
At the end of 2024, it was around 10.50. Today it's at 1.76.
And I think a good portion of the altcoins are doing the same.
Time will tell what will happen, and then we can evaluate it.
It might be true that we missed the altcoin bull run, waiting for a "To the Moon" event that ended on Pluto, which didn't happen.
Hive was at 0.60 in January of this year, and today it's at 0.085.
I believe at some point SUB and Ray were good people. People stole money from them in this space cause that is how a lot of L2 stuff works. Someone else needs to buy so other people can dump. Invite your friends it will be great!
They did invite their friends here. Their friends lost money too.
But this is not HIVEs fault. And just because someone steals from me does not mean I am going to start a project and then steal from someone else.
The gut reaction when BRO blew up was to make another token. Within 24 hours after Bro blew up and was officially over, people started shilling me their meme token projects. They need investors so they can exit and Ray made it seem like I was a good target. I am not a good target and that was a mistake for Ray to make this assumption and then post about it on chain, forever, about how no man should lose as much as me. Ray created this situation and if anyone should be mad at anyone for what my personal reaction is, they should ask Ray for their money back so they can exit. Ray still believes in alt season, Ray still believes he can fix this. I have seen enough of this nonsense and no one is going to fix this.
The only way to fix this is for Ray to do something to show he is sorry and he needs to mean it; his agenda must be remorse. Ray needs to do something with his actions to prove to people he is sorry. Right now him and SUB are doing the opposite. They think this is normal and I think it is wrong to steal, especially if it is not for food but just to get rich. 🤷♂
