It seems I may be responsible for a few people sticking around. I just hate to see good folk leave. We need them. I can look back at my early posts when I was making nothing whilst some were making over $10k on a post, due to different algorithms. I did not invest as much as you, but I was really active. That got me known, so that many people knew who I was when I went to Lisbon.

You do seem to remember stuff better than me. There just been so much stuff over the years. It would be interesting to go back through posts to see what happened.

I do miss some of the humorous accounts like @dickbutt and @lordvader. I have no idea who was behind them, but they made me laugh. Vader is still voting, but I wonder if the owner has even looked at it. Lots of zombie accounts out there.

I find it all fascinating. We have some arseholes, but also a lot of fun and talented folk. Those who just complain tend to get driven away as we don't need their negative vibes, but then I don't tend to downvote over differences in opinion.

I'm so glad you stuck around. We can be part of something amazing if it eventually takes off.

> whilst some were making over $10k

I wonder if Hive will ever reach that level again. Those were crazy days! Some people could actually live off of Steem rewards. Well, I suppose some still can in countries where the cost of living is low. Not so much in the US/UK.

There were a few living off it, but the reward curve was different then. If $HIVE could go to a few dollars then we'd see some $1000 posts, but only for a few people. I just want to see what can happen.

I would say it is one that may be operating with automatic votes, but the owner may not have access any more. People have been known to lose their keys. There are some that still vote, but have not done anything else for a year or more.

There are also some where the keys were stolen using phishing or other techniques, but most of those have been drained of funds, so have no effect on rewards.

There are some bloody huge stakes in some of those zombie accounts, a deep dive I did in to this last year shocked me some enormous fees locked up, seemingly forever...

I always assumed the fishy skeleton usually meant 72 cents worth of stake or something similar had gone to waste but not so, there's a vast amount of Hive in the ether.
![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcY49pWb2W5ycnb2PxCsQZYjmAs36rThoExAPmaHFtWHZ/image.png)

I wonder how many of those gone today believed their few cents of Hive would never be worth anything really. I have never doubted that our blockchain and community would experience stratospheric growth when the world catches up with and catches on to Web3, I have zero doubt on this, never have had.

The learning curve to get involved with blockchain and crypto will become simpler and more streamlined and indeed, commonplace in the future, this in my opinion will be the gamechanger.

When people are managing their mortgage on a blockchain, their parcel delivery on a blockchain, checking their pension on a blockchain Hive will no longer be an alien concept and the proposition of being rewarded for your content rather than having it sold will become all the sweeter.

This gives the infrastructure time to grow in order to cope with that swell when it arrives as it **surely** will.

>It would be interesting to go back through posts to see what happened.

Some accounts are an easier trawl than others. It took forever to get back to the early 2018's on your content and even longer to find that elusive comment I made.

I added the source so it doesn't get lost again and the full monty can be read.

>I find it all fascinating. We have some arseholes, but also a lot of fun and talented folk.

There's nothing like it anywhere. It all stays, though some of the STEEM images are now gone.

>You do seem to remember stuff better than me. There just been so much stuff over the years. It would be interesting to go back through posts to see what happened.

It's like a trip down memory lane. @meesterboom's Huel post was 4 years ago. Incredible.., it seems like just yesterday.

Some posts do stick in the mind. Someone mentioned my [Haejin is a bully](https://peakd.com/haejin/@steevc/haejin-is-a-bully) post the other day. That got some activity. Remember @lyndsaybowes? I think Bernie had it in for her. The 'drama' we see these days is nothing to what we had back then.
