In @proofofbrainio 's early posts, there is mention of delegations quite a bit. I know I am delegating 1000 Hive straight up for 1000 POB. When I took the deal it was slanted. POB was at 0.2 Hive or something like that. I was both bullish on the project and thought that I could help it grow in a positive direction.

I think some of the delegations were given out to people who were taking the tribe seriously, doing good work etc. Not sure.

Transparency is always a good thing, especially as things grow (in this case rapidly).
