POB is like a "pure" version of something; and now it's trying to see what happens in the real world. Regardless of what you might try, theoretical models — in this case, "Proof of Brain" as a blockchain driver, stripped to its bare bones — tend to look great in the vacuum of intellectual think tanks, but gradually fall apart when exposed to the functional interaction with a world filled with irrational, greedy, selfish and psychotic people.

So POB looks really cool — on paper — but I find myself wondering what will happen after prolonged exposure to unchecked "let me exploit this" forces. For the moment, I have written several posts for the community and been quite well rewarded, so the alleged intention of distributing tokens to content that adds value is holding true.

At this moment? I might regret it, but in this post HF25 world of Hive, I'm more inclined to buy the "base" token than a tribal token, if we're talking about spending actual cash here.
