The title and the thumbnail looks really positive, but should the post be positive as well ? lol
Of course no, I would like to share my true and honest opinion about this milestone !
I wanted to use the word achievement, but it's not yet a one. I'll explain !
So, I joined POB exactly 21 April 2021. After exactly 10 days, I'll hit here 4 months. When I joined I liked the concept, I thought everything here will be about the proof of brain. But I found the proof of stake existing. So some POB whales were always in the trending page, I even found many hive whales always hitting the trending page of POB. That's ok of course, they all deserve that and that's why we are all accumulating, I mean that's one of the reason. It's nice to be trending every day, or with every post we write. Not because of the money, but because of the attention, we have. So, anything became easy to do. You create a contest, everyone participates in it, you come up with an initiative, everyone will promote it. Isn't that awesome ?
After some time a drama was created exactly because we had a fight related to token distribution and other things. Some investors withdrawn their money, people start selling. Including me. I sold like about 1000 POB token, maybe. I didn't count. I was selling like crazy. lol But just like any fire can be turned off, the drama calmed down, and we kept building the community. But it has a big effect and I remember that the price just split in two almost. From about $0.6 to about $0.3. Maybe some of us even expected that to go lower, but the founder of the tribe wrote, and we had some motivation, some hope. And we kept creating and building without caring about the price. That's why I decided to stop selling and power up all my earning.
My activity became a bit lower, maybe because of some disappointments, but I decided to take the risk anyway and keep powering up everything. I even created a special account for the tribe and start staking there to earn better curation rewards. So, now I'm delegating to @clixy 2000 POB power, and I'll keep doing that no matter what. Maybe we need the activity from the founder, or maybe the team should come with initiatives to shake the community. I wish I had time for this. But the thing I do is to make all the blockchain active, I build DCC token to make it valuable for everyone on the blockchain. The price of the token is about $0.03, but I need to work on that more to make it useful for everyone.
Returning to POB. I feel now that it's all in the hands of the community. If we keep seeing initiatives active, improving and new one created, things going to be better. In the other hand, aren't we a decentralized community ? Maybe @proofofbrainio wants to put everything in the hands of the community, I don't know. I'm not following all the movements of the token. If the owner is not selling his token, so we don't have to worry, maybe, but again, maybe it's good when all the tokens are in the hand of the community, maybe they could do it better. I don't know, I have many questions about that, maybe others had the same questions, I mean those who left and sold completely. I always say that crypto is unpredictable, who knows, maybe some magic could happen.
The price of tokens I hold is about $300. I imagine how someone like @onealfa.pob who is holding more than 100k is feeling now. That's more than $15,000 , I would say, that's a lot of money ! I understand someone who held about $50,000 and that turned to $15,000. That's really crazy. And a lot of others who are holding enough. When the question is about money, we don't have any pity. We for sure have to say what's on our minds, otherwise we will not see the improvement, and we may lose even more.
You may say this is my response to @aftabkhan10. When he asked for Constructive Criticism.
POB seems to have same “centralized Control” issues as Hive... only a few people are allowed on Trending.
