Proof of Brain is a great place to be!
I believe that as of today, I have been active on the platform for 49 days... let's call it 50. When I started on the Proof of Brain platform, a lightswitch went off. I love blogging, community and crypto, all I need to do is take it serious. I decided to do so. Man am I glad that I did!
Not only did I feel like I have found my voice, I have also found that there is a very great community here (on Hive as a total, and on Proof of Brain). I tend to write LEO and broadhive posts more often than general... but I like to feel free to write about whatever... and Proof of Brain let's me do all of that.
The best thing that Proof of Brain afforded me, starting out early and deciding to really give it 100%, is that I am now WAY more supported on other tribes and just on Hive in general. KRS-One stated that once you are respected by YOUR PEOPLE, you will then instantly be respected everywhere you go. I feel like that is what has happened for me. I first, decided to respect myself and my skills, then I earned respect in the POB community, and since, I have started to see more support across the entire Hive ecosystem.
Proof of Brain first!
I love Hive, I have been here since early 2017, bitcoin at $4000-ish. Leofinance has really been the place that I have been reading and getting more into blockchain and investing over the last year. I wrote a few posts with mixed support. Once I got my feet wet in POB, that is when the magic started happening for me... (it is also when I decided to take myself seriously... that likely helped too.)
I am on the richlist. I believe #19 (granted, I have a delegation which is included) and that feels pretty good. This is all 100% earned from creation and curation (and winning 
Lot's of Potential
There are talks about governance, 
The growth over 50 days is astounding. The amount of progress on the platform speaks for itself. The growth in demand for the token has also boomed. I mean, I could have bought some POB for 0.2 hive 50 days ago and am kicking myself today looking at the 1.74 hive sell orders... I will likely be kicking myself in another 50 days at the 3.5 hive sell orders... I posted this photo in my first POB post.
Compare that to today:
Sure, in 50 days the token count has more than doubled (but we are still very early). The staking is still quite insane at nearly 87% (down 1% from where it was 50 days ago). A whales share of POB has been burned in 50 days thanks to the burn initiative by 
Gratitude
I am writing this post mostly to thank you. I have been welcomed to the tribe, I feel like the tribe is taking itself seriously and only good things can come from that. The big whales seem to take curation seriously, the movers and shakers are busy trying to grow the tribe and get engagement up. I am trying to stay in my lane and write my posts and encourage this forward momentum to continue.
I have been extra busy with work lately and haven't found as much time to be involved on here in a major way, but I do plan to write a proof of brain exclusive post every week to encourage us to keep the positive momentum moving forward. I am truly grateful to be a part of this blockchain and this tribe and want to see all of this positive momentum continue.
Thank you for your support and for getting involved with my posts, I have had a great 50 days on POB and look forward to the future optimistically. We are truly still on the ground floor. (That is my first POB post from 50 days ago... still relevant).
