Give me a reason to power up POB !

I joined the blockchain almost 4 years ago. I remember many events and I went through all the changes we had on the blockchain. I still remember the hard fork 19 and all of them after. I remember how upvote bots appeared, then applications, then communities. Then I was fighting with so many of you, the takeover here, and I joined hive after that. I even started to create collaborations here, which you can see in @dcooperation. That was great. I joined a few tribes, but in the end I liked proof of brain tribe because that's what has been keeping me here for so long. I've always felt that concept during all the time being here. You can feel it in fact in each tribe and community created. Most of us love that and are still supporting it ! That's what made us who we are now !

I like the proof of brain because I don't have to be stuck to something else, but only to my content and improvement. I'm getting rewarded for my work and that's really great. It's kind of working and getting paid. Should I pay my boss in return ? I don't really know. I can do that by commenting, promoting and creating quality content to support the idea and spread it arround the world. I may even create collaborations and grow @dcooperation and power up all the earnings there. But, should I power up myself ? Is there any reason to do that ? You also have to know that I don't have much time to curate. And I'm setting my account for an autoupvote for a proof of brain concept maybe wrong. My problem was always to never let my power be 100% for a long time. I feel that people need support and I'm just staying on my power without making it active. That's why during all the time I did my best to always upvote people and then I set autoupvotes and now @dcooperation is autoupvoting more than 300 creators in hive. I chose them among those who are creating quality content and promoting the blockchain in twitter !

I don't really know. You may tell me that I have to power up to support others and to earn curation rewards. You may tell me that if I get only comments. it means I may be not that happy about the tribe. You may tell me that I have to proof I have stake in a proof of brain tribe and I will just feel confused. Should we prove we have brain or stake ? Or both ? I lost the point here ! Or maybe it's not only proof of brain ? Maybe it's proof of brain-stake.

Looking at the trending page I see people there with stake and others for brain, for their activity on the tribe, for commenting a lot, for creating quality content, for bringing value to the community. But, can I bring value only by my content ? Is that allowed here ?

I'm really sorry if I've offended anyone staking proof of brain. I really don't want that !

All I want is to find a reason to stake a token I really like. And I see a big future of this community !

question-1713304_1280.jpg

Maybe the reason is in thinking that the price will grow in the future and I may become a millionaire if I hold that long enough ? Maybe the reason is to support others who are creating here and bringing value ? What if the price goes down ? What if we see another fork or a compititor appearing on another blockchain ?

I remember when sportstalk apeared, I invested about $500 in steem in that token. It cost about $0.006 per token then. Now it's almost 1000 times lower. Imagine that. My $500 turned to $0.5. I became a billionaire even ! lol

I don't know guys. I'm afraid that I will be a billionaire with proof of brain as well. ☺

Please give me a reason to invest in POB. I really want to find a strong reason to do that !

Maybe this post looks crazy, but I'm just sharing what's happening in my brain. I'm almost sure this post will be well commented. I need to read all the comments to decide what to do !

I'm sure if the half of the earning will go to power and the half will be liquid I will leave the power as I had left that for a long time before. If I find a strong enough reason, I will even use some liquid earned to power it up. I'm even ready to buy now some tokens with a part of bitcoin I own.

Talk to me as if you are talking to an investor who is ready to invest in this token. I don't care about most cryptocurrencies that much because I don't have people who know me there. I'm not active in other crypto communities. I'm active only here. Only where my posts are written. I think most other cryptocurrencies are just speculative. I've been following them for years. Maybe I don't know enough about them. But I know what proof of brain is. I was a part of it when it was created for the first time and I'm now a part of it when it's created again. I like to consume what's trending here. Because it's mostly smart, intelligent and deservedly appreciated.

I love the proof of brain. I feel I belong here. All I need is to find a reason to stake it.

Sort:  

Your voting power is a lot more on POB than it is on Hive. I wrote a post about this, check out my last post.

How long the power down takes in POB ?

Valid points - I did regret my invests into Sportstalk as well but who know, PoB for sure is different as of the BTC mechanism but who knows?


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Yeah, nobody knows and that's the problem.

but that is crypto :-) - seems the only solid stable ones (kind of) remain BTC / ETH

Yeah, that's for sure. Others are jumping like rabits ! lol

You can feel it in fact in each tribe and community created

That's because proof of brain is within each and every tribe on HIVE, it just sometimes doesn't seem like it is, lol.

Your POB is for you to decide what you want to do with it. My own personal reasons for staking is so that I can be part of the community further than just the content I share, I can also make other people happy by rewarding them for what they bring to the table (we're humans, we have a build-in neural system which works well on rewards).

Talk to me as if you are talking to an investor who is ready to invest in this token.

OK, so my first question would be... *what capacity do you have for investing when the success of the investment relies partially on your active participation of the project?"

If you have the time to create content, engage with others, and use your upvote to curate and increase your investment, I'd say it was a wise move. If you don't have the capacity for the above, you may find yourself diverting from the main premise behind "Proof Of Brain".

There is always advice floating around saying that "you should only invest in what you understand", this is true for powering up and placing your solid support in the platform. Proof Of Brain is not just about creating content and "showing that you have a brain" through your interactions, it is also evident from how you vote and reward others. That is a responsibility that scales depending on your stake size and is something that you can have control over.

I'm sure if the half of the earning will go to power and the half will be liquid I will leave the power as I had left that for a long time before.

This is a smart option. Diversify and reduce your risk, see where it goes. We're still very early in the journey of POB.

I do that myself by selling my earnings made on a Saturday. I have a solid stake and very active in the community, but I'm transparent about my actions and people seem to respond to that and accept that it's my decision to do with my stake as I see fit (this is the case with a substantial delegation from @proofofbrainio also, so I can vouch for the benefits of being honest and clear with others).

Very wisely put

As much as I love sports, the economics of that token are terrible. There's 100B circulating and a max supply of 10T. The economics of pob is very different with a max supply of 21M.

Based on my own valuation, pob's overpriced right now. We're counting on a lot of development and users joining to happen and if it does, it would more than justify the current price. But it may never happen and we'd be left wondering what could have been.

Personally, I try to stake at least 80% and sell 20% if the price goes high.

Well, the people here on POB seem to be very nice. And also they have very big brains. The biggest brains I have ever seen since I joined Steemit in 2017. Also, when you are Powered up I notice that the Curation Rewards are better than any other place.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Do we have a window here as well ? I mean when upvoting those who will do well, we may earn more curation ? Or it doesn't matter what we upvote ? Is there a post about how curation is working here ?


Posted via proofofbrain.io

That would be interesting to see, not sure one has been created yet, but it might be worth knowing.

Thanks for your honest post, I really enjoyed reading.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I appreciate the honesty in your posts. I'm interested in seeing the replies.

I'm glad you appriciate that. We may have to have a proof of honesty as well. ☺

You have to do what ever feels right for you, not for me, or for anyone else. YOU decided what is best for YOU.

That's a good approach !

You are I assume an adult. You got to do what fits you first. Everyone needs to get back to power of self. Then we can heal this world from politicians and the nanny state.

I reiterate my point. Do what you feel - feels right to you.

Do this if you believe in the community.

Nowhere else have I seen as much organic engagement as you are having here, this is a very important point, nobody likes to be talking to themselves and the exchange of information and building friendships is being very good, at least for me, it is the 'social network' that I use most at the moment

You can follow a curation trail to still get your curation rewards.

I don't see a trend in loss of value in POB that can keep up with the high curation rewards.
I personally try to get some "real" crypto on the hiveengine, whenever prices of POB are good and staking whenever they're not. That way I grow my stake by a lot while still siphoning a little bit of it out into swap.ETH, swap.LTC and swap.BTC .

If POB crashes I'd still have made a decent stack of crypto and if it doesn't I'm earning a lot! The curation rewards are great!
