Great point.
Whoever said that shit on discord has probably never gone to sleep hungry, has probably most of his life drove his own car mostly new ones of course, ate too much in restaurants and too less on a park bench with his hands dirty and entered the crypto world because it's fun and currentky a fashion to HODL BTC, he considers himself a one in a million out of seven billion and he thinks he knows crypto.
I have read posts regarding this topic and wrote a post about a month ago which was entitled understanding the third word Hive's selling pressure, if my memory is helping me, touching the same sensitive situation and distorted views around it.
One dollar is not the same all over the world. I can almost live with $400 a month in here, all costs included, and you won't even be able to get a rent with that amount in Germany and that's just referring to Europe.
I absolutely hate shitheads that judge situations they never been in. What's wrong with selling a token that you earned after all? It's your damn property now and you can do with it whatever you feel like, or need like doing with it.
These types of people that only see their approach towards HIVE and LEO as being the best and judging the ones acting differently are nothing more than cult members for me and I've met different cult members throughout my life, most of them had limited views and you can't have unlimited potential when using a limited view.
As I said it tens of times I will repeat it again: community is what gives most of the value to this types of attention rewarding tokens and often times communities involve all sort of people with highly different backgrounds and life situations.
I had a few months, like for example at the beginning the pandemic, when luckily I was able to sell STEEM and HIVE as well, when I was living off of my blog activity, no other income. If I wouldn't have had some savings and the opportunity to make some good money during the summer I'd probably still be selling all of my rewards now. Staking makes no sense when you have bills to pay and other necessities.
Luckily I can afford to HODL and stake for some more months and by the time I will need to sell some rewards tokens the price might be double than it is now and I'll call myself lucky, but not all are lucky enough to be able to make a living for three or four more months while staking their rewards for all that time, and only a fool would judge them.
That bozo that wrote on discord what you mentioned in the video is worse for this platform than the third world users that sell their rewards as soon as they get them. Don't want to offend Americans, as I met quite some nice and clever ones in here, but some should at least imagine that there is life outside America, if they haven't been to other countries, that there are plenty of us that are not English native speakers, before laughing at a broken English, because that broken English is definitely a second language for that fellow, or as in my case the third one, while most of the Americans only speak English.
Empathy is what that guy needs the most and that's what I wish to him. With this type of thinking though he'd better take his shit and move to Steemit and become a steemitan. Time to go to bed now, after this long sausage of a comment full of frustrations and anger...
