The New HEX Order (and the RH Dilemma)

Recent developments in the HEX ecosystem suggest a deliberate move away from staking, a mechanism that once stood as the project’s primary value proposition beyond its fabled meme-like appeal. This shift raises pressing questions: Why is Richard Heart seemingly discouraging new participation in HEX? Is this a strategy to consolidate gains among existing holders, or is it part of a broader plan to safeguard the ecosystem for the long haul?

One possibility is that HEX is being structured for long-term sustainability, ensuring that it remains viable even if RH himself is unable to intervene for an extended period. Is he securing a financial backstop for his most dedicated followers? Or is this yet another test of loyalty—a final shakeout of anyone who isn’t a die-hard believer?

Since the launch of Pulsechain, HEX veterans have endured a series of shocks. The token was effectively split in two, mirroring historical precedents like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Ethereum PoW (ETHW), ultimately diluting value. Then came the introduction of farms, encouraging speculation over traditional HEX staking—only for those farms to be removed later. eHEX holders bore the brunt of another blow when public remarks from RH caused an 80% crash within minutes. The ecosystem — already disproportionately diminished— has since struggled to recover.

Now, with staking undermined and market control seemingly confirmed centrally controlled, HEX investors find themselves in a precarious position. Trading is increasingly difficult due to unpredictable market manipulation. The only viable strategy for those who still have faith is to hold on and hope that RH orchestrates a turnaround.

At this juncture, many long-time HEX supporters feel disoriented—some outright betrayed. The project that once promised decentralized wealth generation has consolidated control under a single figure, leaving its community powerless to influence its fate.

Is this entire saga a cautionary tale against placing too much trust in any one leader, regardless of their charisma and initial success? Or is RH orchestrating a master plan that will ultimately enrich those who remain steadfast?

For now, HEX investors have little choice but to wait and see—hoping that belief alone will be enough to deliver the rewards they had come to believe in. #noexpectations
