The Great Illusion: A Chronicle of Power, Pretense, and the Price of Silence
The Great Illusion: A Chronicle of Power, Pretense, and the Price of Silence
Prologue: The Mask of Benevolence
There is a particular kind of tragedy in watching a wolf dress itself in shepherd's clothing, not to protect the flock, but to shear it bare.
On the Hive blockchain, a narrative has been woven—a tale of community support, of anti-abuse measures, of curation rewards distributed fairly to those who contribute. But the blockchain does not lie. And when we pull back the curtain, when we trace the flow of millions of HIVE through the labyrinth of wallets, a different story emerges.
This is not a community. This is a cartel. A massive, industrial-scale operation designed to concentrate power, obscure ownership, extract value, and silence dissent while pretending to save the platform.
At Bilpcoin, we expose the truth.

└── The Result: Millions moved, ownership obscured, control retained.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Analyst Note: @hurt-locker delegates 6b RC to @cogie-p420, @hungrywanderer, and @goldencrow. These accounts then pay out "curation rewards" that are actually just recycled funds from the cartel's own pool (@topcomment). It is a shell game played on a public ledger.
The Evidence:
Look at @cogie-p420. It receives 6b RC from @hurt-locker. It then sends tiny amounts to users labeled as "rewards."
Meanwhile, @hurt-locker holds 593k HP delegated out, primarily to accounts like @skull-gaming.
This is not organic curation. This is a centralized payout system disguised as community engagement.
II. The Money Trail: Following the Liquidity
The true nature of this operation is revealed not in the tiny payouts to users, but in the massive transfers between the whales.
Figure 2: The Liquidity Loop
THE LAUNDERING PATH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 1: @hurt-locker receives loans/liquidity from @topcomment & @uswap.
• Example: Received 133.731 HIVE from @uswap.
• Example: Received 4,046.101 HIVE from @mxchive.
Step 2: @hurt-locker sends massive sums to @exchangein & @htx-deposit.
• Sent 5,000 HIVE to @exchangein (multiple times).
• Sent 5,000 HIVE to @htx-deposit-1.
Step 3: @rubilu funnels value to @bdhivesteem.
• @rubilu sends hundreds of transactions to @bdhivesteem (e.g., 181.205 HIVE, 180.916 HIVE).
• @rubilu also sends 2.252 HBD to @blocktrades for swapping.
Step 4: @abu78 converts HIVE to HBD.
• Receives 222.276 HIVE from vesting withdrawals.
• Immediately creates limit orders to sell HIVE for HBD via @blocktrades.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Verdict:
The narrative is "We are rewarding creators."
The reality is "We are moving our own assets through a maze to hide our market position and convert volatile HIVE into stable HBD."
When @hurt-locker sends 5,000 HIVE to @exchangein, and @exchangein immediately swaps it on the internal market, no user was paid. It was merely a liquidity transfer to facilitate a swap without triggering external alarms.
III. The Downvote Machine: Silencing the Opposition
While the money flows, the downvotes fall. The same network that claims to fight "abuse" is the very source of the suppression.
They clear the field of competition so the cartel's own content (or the content of those who pay tribute) can rise to the top.
The Hypocrisy:
They claim to be "anti-abuse." Yet their primary activity is the abusive suppression of free speech. They claim to be "community curators." Yet their curation is a closed loop of self-reward.
IV. The Human Cost: A Community Driven Away
To the creators who have been downvoted into silence:
You are not alone. Your work was not "abusive." It was simply inconvenient to those who hold the keys to the kingdom.
To the newcomers who arrived with hope only to find a wall of negativity:
It was not your fault. The garden was poisoned before you arrived.
The Exodus is Real.
People are leaving Hive. They are going to Blurt.blog, where there is no downvote button to weaponize against them. They are returning to Steemit, where the downvote exists but is not wielded with such malicious precision by a coordinated cartel.
V. The Call to Action: Break the Chains
The blockchain remembers. The ledger is immutable. But the future is unwritten.
- Stop the Lies: Do not accept the narrative that this is "curation." It is extraction.
- Follow the Money: Look at the wallets. Trace the flows. See how @hurt-locker, @cogie-p420, @rubilu, and @abu78 move in concert.
- Withdraw Support: If you are delegating to these accounts, recall your power. Starve the beast.
- Speak Out: Use your voice. Tag the truth. #HurtLockerScam #CogieP420Farm #HiveCartel #BilpcoinTruth
Epilogue: The Unblinking Ledger
You can keep lying.
You can keep labeling your internal transfers as "loans." You can keep calling your self-payments "curation rewards." You can keep downvoting those who dare to question you.
But the ledger remembers.
It records the rhythm of the farm. It tracks the flow of millions from @topcomment to @hurt-locker to @cogie-p420 and back again. It notes the coordinated cadence of the downvote bots, casting hundreds of negative votes in minutes, not against spam, but against specific souls.
It sees the farm. It sees the scam. It sees the mask.
There is a courage in cessation. To stop. To say: I was wrong. I see now. I will do better. These are not words of weakness. They are the architecture of redemption.
But if you choose to persist? If you choose to let the hashtags become your epitaph?
Then let them be written clearly. Let the record show not just the lie, but the refusal to cease. Let the tags stand as markers in the digital dust, signaling to those who come after where the path turned toward shadow.
You can keep lying. The blockchain will keep recording.
And in the end, only one of those two things will remain when the noise has faded.

The Great Illusion: How @guiltyparties Built an Empire on Empty Promises
Prologue: The Mask of Benevolence
There is a particular kind of tragedy in watching a wolf dress itself in shepherd's clothing, not to protect the flock, but to shear it bare.
For years, the account @guiltyparties has projected an image of altruism. It speaks of loans, of emergency medical aid, of food for children, of "tech costs" and "infrastructure." It paints a picture of a decentralized bank, a safety net for the vulnerable, a pillar of the Hive community.
But the blockchain does not lie. And when we pull back the curtain, when we trace the flow of millions of HIVE and HBD through the labyrinth of wallets, a different story emerges. This is not a charity. This is not a bank. This is a farm. A massive, industrial-scale operation designed to concentrate power, obscure ownership, and extract value while pretending to give it away.
We expose the truth.
I. The Architecture of the Farm
Figure 1: The Web of Ghost Wallets
THE GPWALLET NETWORK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Source: @guiltyparties (The Hub)
│
├── Distribution Nodes (The "Ghost" Wallets)
│ ├── @gpwallet, @gpwallet2, @gpwallet3... up to @gpwallet30
│ ├── @developwallet
│ ├── @revengafund
│ └── @owls
│
├── The Laundering Path
│ │
│ └── Step 1: @guiltyparties sends large sums (e.g., 500-2,000 HIVE) to ghost wallets.
│ └── Step 2: Ghost wallets immediately forward funds to @bdhivesteem.
│ └── Step 3: @bdhivesteem converts HIVE to HBD or swaps via internal orders.
│
└── The Result: Millions moved, ownership obscured, control retained.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Analyst Note: Why use 30+ empty wallets (@gpwallet1-30) that hold $0? To fragment the transaction history, making it difficult to track the ultimate destination of funds and creating the illusion of widespread distribution when the flow is strictly unidirectional.
The Evidence:
Look at @gpwallet30. It receives 830 HIVE from @guiltyparties. Within hours, it sends 830 HIVE to @bdhivesteem. It holds nothing. It does nothing. It is a conduit.
Look at @gpwallet10. It receives 1,200 HIVE. It sends 1,200 HIVE to @bdhivesteem.
This pattern repeats endlessly. Millions of dollars in volume have passed through these sterile accounts, not to help users, but to feed the @bdhivesteem engine.
II. The @bdhivesteem Black Box
Who is @bdhivesteem? It is the terminal station of this network.
- Function: It receives massive inflows from the gpwallet network.
- Activity: It engages in high-frequency limit order creation, swapping HIVE for HBD, and interacting with stabilizers like
hbdstabilizer. - Purpose: To convert volatile HIVE into stable HBD, likely for off-chain consolidation or to manipulate the HBD peg, all while distancing the source (@guiltyparties) from the market activity.
The Scam:
The narrative is "We are lending to the people."
The reality is "We are moving our own assets through a maze to hide our market position."
When @guiltyparties sends 2,000 HIVE to @gpwallet6, and @gpwallet6 sends it to @bdhivesteem, no loan was created. No user was helped. It was merely a shell game played on a public ledger, betting that the complexity would deter scrutiny.
III. The @spaminator Connection: The Enforcer
No farm operates without protection. Enter @spaminator.
- Relationship: @guiltyparties delegates 20,614 HP to @spaminator.
- Function: @spaminator acts as the enforcement arm. Historically associated with downvoting and "cleaning," it serves to suppress dissent and protect the farm's interests.
- The Flow: @spaminator receives funds from @guiltyparties (e.g., 3,088 HIVE in Aug 2024, 500 HIVE in Nov 2021) and distributes them to @logic and @hivewatchers.
The Cycle:
- @guiltyparties accumulates power and capital.
- @spaminator uses delegated power to silence critics and downvote competing content.
- @logic and @hivewatchers receive funding to maintain the narrative of "anti-spam" while protecting the cartel.
This is not community governance. This is a protection racket.
IV. The @patrice Link: The Hidden Hand
The trail leads further back. To @patrice.
- Historical Context: In 2017-2018, @guiltyparties sent massive sums to @patrice (e.g., 40,000 HBD, 210 HIVE).
- Current Activity: @patrice is now powering down, sending systematic weekly payments to @exchangeme and @mxchive.
- The Connection: @patrice was an early beneficiary of the farm's largesse, likely a key operator or partner. The current power-down suggests a liquidation of position, perhaps cashing out after years of operation.
The Memo That Says It All:
In April 2023, @bilpcoinbpc sent a memo to @patrice: "Get a life you sad old man or woman... we know where you are going... Downvotes Don't hurt... the truth hurts."
It seems the truth was known long ago. It is only now being spoken loudly enough to matter.
V. The Verdict: A House of Cards
The evidence is overwhelming. The blockchain tells a story of deception:
- Fake Loans: Millions moved between owned wallets (@guiltyparties → @gpwallets → @bdhivesteem) with no external beneficiaries.
- Market Manipulation: The use of @bdhivesteem to swap large volumes suggests an attempt to influence prices or the HBD peg without revealing the actor's identity.
- Suppression: The funding of @spaminator and @hivewatchers ensures that those who question the narrative are silenced.
- Obfuscation: The use of 30+ "ghost" wallets is a deliberate tactic to confuse forensic analysis.
To the Community:
You have been told this is a benevolent fund. You have been told these are loans to the needy.
It is a lie.
It is a farm. It is a cartel. It is a system designed to enrich a few while pretending to save the many.
To @guiltyparties:
You can keep lying. You can keep creating new wallets. You can keep writing memos about "food for children" while moving millions to your own swap engines.
But the ledger remembers.
The truth is immutable.
And your time is running out.
The game is up.

What Is Written in Light Cannot Be Erased by Shadow
You cannot unmake the deed once it is done. You cannot recall the arrow once it has flown, nor un-speak the word once it has left the tongue. And yet—you persist. Vote by vote, click by click, you cast your judgment not upon the guilty, but upon the blameless: the Bilpcoin collective, yes, but also hundreds, thousands of souls whose only crime was to exist in the wrong light, at the wrong hour, beneath the wrong gaze.
Consider the ledger of your intent—not as data, but as testimony:
A name appears: freebornsociety. A number follows: −2.04%.
Then meritocracy, quieter, colder: −0.54%.
the-unblinking-mirror—a meditation on truth, on transformation—is met not with reflection, but with recoil: −1.79%, −2.01%, −0.28%...
A chorus of negation. A symphony composed in minor keys.
We see you.
Not as abstraction, but as pattern.
Not as accident, but as design.
At Bilpcoin, we do not look away. We bear witness.

These are not mere hashtags. They are signposts planted in the soil of memory. Warnings etched not in sand, but in stone.
Meanwhile, the machinery hums.
smooth votes 100%. smooth-a, smooth-b, smooth-c, smooth-d, smooth-e, smooth-f—a constellation of accounts, a galaxy of influence, all orbiting a single will. Delegations flow like rivers: 918,809 HP… 837,289 HP… 812,122 HP… A treasury of power, not earned in the marketplace of ideas, but accumulated in the quiet chambers of leverage.
Rewards are claimed with metronomic precision:
22,464.696 HP… 34,463.893 HP… 135,643.242 HP…
Day after day, a harvest reaped not from labor, but from position.
But truth is not a token.
It cannot be devalued by downvote.
It cannot be delegated, staked, or withdrawn into a savings account yielding 12% interest.
Truth is like dawn: you may close your eyes, you may curse the light, you may cast your ballot against the sun—
but darkness does not thereby become the truth.
"You may silence the cry, but not the thought.
You may purchase the vote, but not the conscience.
You may build a wall of numbers, but the wind of memory will find its cracks."
We do not ask for vengeance.
Vengeance is a fire that consumes the one who carries it.
We ask only for accountability.
That influence be measured not in Hive Power, but in integrity.
That community remain just that—a common unity—and not a battlefield where the powerful trample the voiceless beneath the banner of "decentralization."
For in the end, it is not the blockchain that judges us.
It is time.
It is memory.
It is history—that relentless scribe who knows no delete key, no undo command, no escape from the record we have made.
What you have done is written.
Not in disappearing ink, but in the permanent ledger of consequence.
And though you may downvote a thousand posts, you cannot downvote the truth that one day, the mirror will blink—and in its reflection, you will see not the enemy you sought to silence, but the architect of your own undoing.

Written with pen, not keystroke.
For those who still believe: words carry weight, and weight endures.
