Saturday - A walk in the historic district
Saturday - A walk in the historic district
Today, I will share a few shots from a walk I took the other day around the historic district here in New Bedford, MA.
On another social media site, I have been sharing some photos I share in posts, and it's been great. I have learnt so much about the history of some of the buildings here, along with people's memories of the places. It's been so interesting
Starting with the McCullough Building
Located in the Waterfront Historic District at 98 Front Street, this beautifully restored 19th-century landmark dates back to 1820. Previously a ship chandlery, it now features a mix of high-end commercial office space, a first-floor retail shop, and a residential duplex loft with harbor views

Next up, although the building it is in may be historic, but this is a place that only just opened last year, and I just came across it on a recent walk, reviews of it seem to be good maybe I will try it out sometime

That morning, I went up in the Elm Street Parking garage to get this view, I had hoped by the time i got up here some of the sunrise colors would still be out, but some days they can come and go so quickly.

this next building was constructed in 1890, the building is at 385 Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford, MA is a prominent mixed-use property situated in the heart of Downtown New Bedford. Located within the New Bedford Historic District / National Park, this 7,125-square-foot brick building features a combination of residential condos and commercial spaces
well thats the first building we see I am talking about

NOw this next one I added as when I talked about learning some interesting facts about the city, the rose alleys were mentioned to me.
Back in the whaling days, the smell from the port was very strong, so across from the port, along a few alleys like the one in this next photo, were lined with rose bushes to counteract the smell, and naturally were called by many the Rose Alleys.
So now I know the origin of this pubs name

Good day, Mr. @tattoodjay.
What a beautiful place! I love these buildings.
I loved the whole history here, especially the idea of creating the rose-lined path to mitigate the smell of the bridge.
Excellent photographs.

The Mirage of the Mint: On the Illusion of Value in a Rigged Casino
The Dream That Is Not Yours
Stop selling a dream on Hive.
It is not a dream. It is a mirage, shimmering on the horizon of a digital desert, promising water to the thirsty while hiding the fact that the well has been poisoned by the very hands that claim to guard it. You speak of decentralization, of community, of a new economic paradigm. But beneath the glossy veneer of marketing and the hollow echo of witness proposals, there is only one reality: Hive is run by downvoting farming whales who make the rules solely to break them.
This is not governance. This is feudalism with better branding. It is a closed loop where the lords write the laws, enforce the laws, and then grant themselves immunity from the laws they have just written.
The Alchemy of Infinite Extraction
Let us speak plainly about the economics of this illusion.
Hive is a token with an unlimited supply. It is not scarce. It is not finite. It is printed daily, hour by hour, block by block, into the wallets of those who hold the keys to the kingdom. And who holds the keys?
Look at @buildawhale.
This is not a user. This is a printing press disguised as a profile. With over 2.4 million HP delegated primarily from central exchanges like @blocktrades, this account does not participate in the community; it extracts from it. It is a leviathan that swims in a sea of its own making, consuming the rewards that should belong to the creators, the artists, and the builders.
The Theater of the Burn
And how do they justify this endless extraction? Through the theater of the "burn."
You see them posting comments—empty, repetitive, algorithmic scraps of text—labeled as "burns" to create the illusion of deflation, of value preservation. It is a magic trick. They print millions of HIVE through curation rewards and self-voting, and then they burn a fraction of it in a public spectacle, hoping you will focus on the ash rather than the mountain of newly minted tokens flooding their wallets.
But look closer. Look at the ledger.
@buildawhale is self-voting these spam burn comments.
@themarkymark—an account we know to be inextricably linked to the @buildawhale scam farm—is voting these same comments.
They are clapping for their own performance. They are paying themselves to pretend they are saving the ecosystem. It is a circular economy of deceit, where the left hand burns what the right hand prints, all while the middle hand steals the reward pool from the rest of us.
The Web of Alt Accounts
And they do not do this alone.
The @buildawhale empire is not a single account; it is a hydra. It is a network of alt accounts, proxy voters, and silent partners who move in synchronized lockstep. They upvote each other’s farming operations. They downvote anyone who questions the math. They create a wall of noise to drown out the signal of truth.
They call it "curation." We call it what it is: a coordinated cartel designed to monopolize the inflation.
The Awakening of the Users
But the users are waking up.
They are seeing the unlimited supply. They are seeing the concentration of power. They are seeing the hypocrisy of whales who preach "decentralization" while holding the entire network hostage to their voting power. They are realizing that the dream being sold is a nightmare for everyone except the sellers.
And so, they are leaving. They are taking their talent, their time, and their trust to places where the rules are fair, where the supply is respected, and where the voice of the individual cannot be crushed by the weight of a whale’s wallet. They are going to Blurt.blog, where there is no downvote button, no farming cartels, and no infinite print jobs disguised as community service.
The Final Word
Stop selling the dream. The dream is dead.
What remains is a token coin with unlimited supply, controlled by a handful of actors who have turned a blockchain into a personal ATM.
The ledger sees it. The data proves it. And the users are rejecting it.
For in the end, you cannot build a future on a foundation of infinite extraction. You can only build a graveyard.
