Big City the Next!

The POB network is spreading it's tentacles really fast, and it seems like there are a ton of new writers using the POB tag! This is exciting news. The growth that I have witnessed over the week (plus) that I have been skimming through the trending page is astronomical!
When I started, POB tokens were going for 0.18 hive on hive engine. They are now double that! Did we have a POB-fund a week ago to fund future developments of the platform? No. Do we now... oh yes! There also weren't our trending topics on a side bar... we are moving on up in the world and everyone wants in on the action.
Last week, people would add all of the tags that they could, but didn't even think about POB. Now, it is undeniable that there is value brewing and growing in the POB ecosystem, and I got news for you...
This is just the beginning!
I was hoping for a little bit more accumulation time, but, the cat is out of the bag and that is alright too... I guess. That just means that to become a POB whale I will need to brave the Hive-Engine market. With more collectors of the token, I am fairly sure that the iron-handed 91% staking days will likely be done with. Although, I am fairly sure that the staking percentage will be quite high as they are going to be scarce moving forward as the distribution begins to hit a lot more accounts.
When only 300 POB tokens are minted in an hour, and there are 1000 users, or 10,000 users, writing, curating, commenting etc. Each vote will only count for a fraction of a POB. Even large stakeholders will see their vote power seem to become less powerful as the user base and activity on the platform grow.
So, enjoy the early distribution of the POB tokens while you can, because soon, and from the look of things, it could be very soon... the Hive masses will be all over this project. With more active accounts and more authors and curators, comes less tokens minted by you.
Silver Linings
There are certainly always those, especially in crypto. With more people interested in the POB project, that means more action. That means more people that want the token. It means more people in it to sell the token, it will mean more liquidity for buyers and could very well mean better prices for buyers OR for token holders. Markets will do what they will do and I can't make a call on which way this thing will go. If I were to guess, I would guess that at some point soonthe upward action will become too attractive to people that are not all in on POB. This will be my time to buy. I do think that it could go up for a bit yet though. The scarcity model that this coin is based on, combined with how much hype seems to be surrounding this project could send this puppy a little bit higher yet.
It doesn't matter to me
I am going to just post daily, read and comment as I find time, get my engagement on, grow my stake, HODL the POB tokens and have fun. If the price dips, I will buy some. If the price crashes, I have buy orders all the way down. If the price goes up... AWESOME, I am here for the haul and it is going to be a lot of fun. There are a lot of great people here with lots to say on all kinds of topics, and there is a ton of potential for growth. My wife even wrote a post here!!! (and she is threatening to write more).
Proof of Brain is Fun!
I am basically just happy to be back into the swing of things on Hive. My crypto journey has been nearly 5 years and it is just starting to look like it is panning out. I feel like I am getting back to the fun of it. I had fun playing 
I know there are a lot of serious people that are very serious about their stakes, and about the rules and I can respect all of that. I am even ready to swing my downvote hammer hard... but, I am here for fun mostly... and to make sure that POB thrives.
