End of Career
My wife and I are going to a farewell gig tonight. The last concert is tomorrow, but it sold out, so they scheduled another, which we got tickets for, and then that sold out. So they scheduled a third for last night too, which sold out. This is the 50th year for the Finnish band EPPU Normaali and they remain very popular. They are local to this city too, so there is added incentive for many to go and watch them close out their band careers.

The picture is not of them.
However, something weird happened yesterday in terms of organisation. They set up a booth at a shopping centre close to the stadium so that people could change their tickets for wristbands prior to the concerts, which would speed up gate admission. So, after my wife finished work yesterday we went (all ticketholders must be present) about an hour earlier than their scheduled closing time at five.
And the line was about 250 metres long.
However, it moved quickly but we were about 20 metres from the front when it turned to five, and one of the staff came down the line saying they were closing. The line was still about 150 metres long. That is insane, especially since we were meant to be doing the organisers a favour by getting tickets early. As you can imagine, there were some pretty incredulous people in the crowd. For once, I just tried to ignore the stupidity and we left. All up, this unnecessary trip cost us two hours of our life plus the cost of fuel and parking in order to get nothing.
But I won't let it ruin the gig for my wife.
We have seen them before together a handful of years ago, and while I do not understand the lyrics or know any of the song names, there are enough familiar tunes that I can appreciate the music. And, I the last time I saw them was a more intimate affair with a couple hundred people in a warehouse for a corporate event. This is a small stadium gig with tens of thousands and, they will pretty much (besides me) be fans. My wife's brother-in-law will be with us tonight, and he will be going with his family tomorrow night again.
We are in the K18+ section. Should be fun.
While I have to go now to the bus, it is a WTF night and if things work out, I will see if I can get some commentary to talk about from the gig itself, maybe even with some pictures. There tends to often be some noteworthy and weird sights to be found at these kinds of things, so let's see!
Now, the weekend starts.

I hope your wife and you have a wonderful evening watching the band.
I don't know about you but recently I've noticed a sharp decline in competence in many areas of life especially when dealing with organisations of any size.
Nobody seems to know what they are doing? No-one seems capable of making a decision without calling in a manager or similar.
We don't get what we payed for but we do get plenty of "I don't have an answer"
Maybe I'm just getting old but more and more nothing seems to work!
Is it just me feeling like this?
#baffled
I don't think it is age as I reckon it is going to get worse. Competence comes from learning, and most people don't learn, they Google and AI answers, with the feeling they learn. Then when they do need to think for themselves, there is no thought competence.
This was my assessment too. People have become so addicted to pressing a few buttons for answers that they have lost the ability to think at all let alone critically.
I spoke to a receptionist recently and his replies made me think in 10 years time we are doomed. If not sooner.
I have a feeling sooner!
I think you may be right
#bilpcoin truth # The Immutable Ledger: Exposing the Blocktrades-Aligned Whale Cartel on Hive

You can never hide the truth on a blockchain. It is the great, unblinking eye of the digital age, a mirror forged in cryptography that reflects not the face you wish to show the world, but the shadow you cast upon it.
They believe they are clever, these architects of obfuscation. They weave their webs of delegated power, they cast their downvotes like stones into a quiet pond, and they whisper to themselves that the ripples will fade. But the blockchain does not forget. It does not forgive. It does not sleep. Every transaction, every vesting route, every silent transfer of influence is etched into cryptographic stone, permanent and unyielding.
We see everything. We trace the threads of their deception back to the loom. And we expose the truth.
That is what terrifies them. The downvoting, farming whales who operate in the shadows, tethered to the centralized gravity of Blocktrades, know that their empire is built on a foundation of glass. They fear the light because the light reveals the machinery. It reveals that their "decentralized" community is merely a fiefdom, and their curation is nothing more than extraction. But the ledger remains. And the ledger always wins.
In crypto forensics, the blockchain is the ultimate crime scene, and the data never lies. Our latest investigation into the Hive network has uncovered a centralized nexus of control masquerading as organic community participation. The evidence is irrefutable.
Let’s follow the money and the delegated Hive Power (HP):
This is not a decentralized network. This is a coordinated, multi-account syndicate designed to farm rewards, manipulate visibility, and suppress dissent on behalf of centralized interests. We have the hashes. We have the timestamps. The scam is exposed.
Hive Blockchain Scam Exposed: How Blocktrades-Aligned Whales Manipulate the Network
Meta Description: Discover how Bilpcoin’s latest blockchain investigation exposes the truth about Hive’s downvoting farming whales. Learn how Blocktrades-aligned accounts manipulate curation and why the immutable ledger is their greatest fear.

You can never hide the truth on a blockchain. At Bilpcoin, we specialize in crypto scam investigations and blockchain transparency, and our latest data analysis reveals a shocking reality on the Hive network.
Downvoting farming whales are actively manipulating the reward pool. Our forensic data shows that mega-whale accounts like @buildawhale (holding over 2.4 million HP delegated directly from @blocktrades) are systematically funneling liquidity to farming hubs like @ipromote. Furthermore, the network utilizes complex curation funnels (e.g., @poshtoken → @redditposh → @poshtoken.wallet) and micro-bot accounts like @pyresoul to simulate organic engagement through coordinated, automated micro-payments.
Why does this matter? Because we see everything, and we expose the truth. This centralized control is exactly what scares the farming whales that work for Blocktrades. They rely on obscurity, but the blockchain is a public, immutable ledger.
Read the full forensic breakdown below to understand how this crypto manipulation works and why true decentralization demands accountability.
EXCLUSIVE: On-Chain Data Links Top Hive Whales to Centralized Farming and Synthetic Engagement Ring
DATELINE: THE BLOCKCHAIN — A sprawling network of delegated voting power and systematic liquidity extraction has been exposed on the Hive blockchain, raising severe questions about the platform’s decentralized governance and the influence of centralized exchange-aligned actors.
According to a comprehensive analysis of on-chain data by blockchain watchdog Bilpcoin, accounts including @buildawhale, @ocdb, and @smooth are acting as primary financial and voting hubs for a coordinated farming syndicate. Public ledger data confirms these accounts control millions of delegated Hive Power (HP), with the vast majority originating directly from @blocktrades and allied mega-whales like @darthknight.
More alarmingly, transaction records show @buildawhale systematically funneling vast sums of vesting shares directly to @ipromote, a known node in the network's reward-manipulation infrastructure. Simultaneously, a secondary network involving @poshtoken, @redditposh, and @poshtoken.wallet is engaged in circular "curation and anti-abuse" payouts, while micro-accounts like @pyresoul execute hundreds of automated, penny-sized "Daily Pyresoul reward" transactions to create a facade of organic community engagement.
"You can never hide the truth on a blockchain," said a spokesperson for the investigation. "We see everything, and we expose the truth. That is what scares them: the downvoting, farming whales that work for Blocktrades. At Bilpcoin, we expose the truth."
The revelation highlights a growing tension in decentralized finance: the conflict between the ethos of community ownership and the reality of centralized capital exerting outsized control over network rewards, governance, and visibility.
From a network security and tokenomic perspective, the concentration of voting power and capital flow revealed in this dataset represents a critical failure of decentralized governance on Hive.
When analyzing the delegation graph, we observe a classic "hub-and-spoke" centralization model. Accounts like @smooth and @ocdb aggregate millions of HP, granting them disproportionate influence over witness elections and proposal voting. However, their utility is not directed toward network health. Instead, they function as liquidity routers, systematically draining value to farming hubs like @ipromote and @poshtoken.wallet, which then disperse it to secondary entities or swap it via @honey-swap.
Furthermore, the presence of micro-transaction networks (e.g., @pyresoul broadcasting identical "Daily Pyresoul reward" memos to dozens of addresses) is a hallmark of synthetic engagement farming. This creates a negative-sum game for genuine creators. The inflationary reward pool is diluted by this closed-loop extraction, while the threat of coordinated downvotes suppresses organic competition.
The existential threat to the network is clear: you can never hide the truth on a blockchain. The on-chain data unequivocally maps this centralized control. We see everything, and we expose the truth. This transparency is precisely what threatens the downvoting, farming whales aligned with Blocktrades. If the network cannot resolve this governance centralization, it risks a continued exodus of organic users, leading to long-term token devaluation and the collapse of the social consensus that gives the chain its value.
The Final Word
The ledger is open. The data is public. The narrative is over.
At Bilpcoin, we do not fight for attention. We fight for accountability. We will continue to follow the money, map the networks, and expose the truth, because a blockchain without transparency is just a database for the corrupt.

Looking forward to the WTF post.
Not sure I could watch a concert if didn't understand the lyrics. How do you do it?
Yeah, I don't understand much of anything here, so it is par for the course.
Ok top of that, I also listen to a fair amount of music that I don't understand, with Spanish for salsa damces, Portuguese for kizomba and I like french rap.
I guess cause I can get into the rythmn of different tunes. Just frustrating to not understand the words. My ignorance.
I think it is partly a difference across countries. I have heard that Americans don't like subtitles either, but in Europe it is necessary (and far better than dubbing), so I guess people get used to not understanding everything.
The band's performance was so good that the crowd ran out of tickets and finally got to see the concert. You're a music lover who doesn't know the lyrics or title. Like my experience as a music lover, I sometimes forget the title and the lyrics. Every beat of the music is enjoyable.
I a terrible with lyrics in general, so different languages don't seem to phase me.
Yes, that's right, music lovers don't have to be able to sing, forgetting the lyrics is no problem..
This is off topic. But is there any way to change credits directly to DEC in splinterlands? Normally I am buying credits, then buying cards and selling them for DEC(at a big loss most of the time).
No idea, never tried. I though credits couldn't be converted...

Do you know that you can earn a passive income by delegating to @indiaunited. We share more than 100 % of the curation rewards with the delegators in the form of IUC tokens.
Here are some handy links for delegations: 100HP, 250HP, 500HP, 1000HP.

I think the memories from a farewell concert are worth more than the ticket itself. Fifty years is an incredible journey for any band. I hope this night gives your wife something she'll always remember.
I think she will remember it - especially since she was able to have a spot right up front and see everything.

Well, that is saying something! :D
The end of one career is often the beginning of a new chapter. Experience doesn't disappear with retirement. We will all retire and we will open a new page in life, good or bad.
They joked on stage that the lead guitarist is going to start teaching lessons, exclusively to women.
50 year career for a music band is quite something! But I have never heard of them :)
The logistics is frequently a weak spot for many organizations, clearly you unfortunately had to experience one of those epic "F***ups" it is a good thing they are retiring or it could have negatively impacted their further careers...
No surprise.
The organisation is normally pretty good here for most things - even government administration (comparatively), but I think that all over the world (as discussed in another comment) it is degrading. The AI overlords are doing their job.
Ah, I read the other post before this one! :)
