Positioning - Tokens and Life

There are so many "official" posts to write, we have had an extremely productive 6 weeks in Guatemala and we are just closing up this chapter, taking stock of new friends, strengthened alliances and a wealth of on-the-ground experience. But today I just want to talk about tokens, and positioning.

I of course have mentioned before that I am a whale, and quite accidentally for the most part I ended up having a lot of tokens in some weird corners of HIVE, like ONEUP, now integrated into MOON.

But recently I have been liquidating the INCOME fund, and considering how to "monetizing my balance sheet", as they say.

I powered up 1000 Hive Power to @mithrilmarketing, some seed funding I guess, and I minted 22,000 new units with an eye on our lovegun updates to HIVE SBI. I am waiting for a week or so for program Voting Power to recover - this is a natural cycle I have been through many times, and we also helped to automate the correction mechanisms in our "new functionality updates", which I am so proud of and super happy that we fit into our pipeline of "things to do" around HIVE.

Squeezing my wallet

So I have been squeezing rather hard for the last several months my personal wallet - @ecoinstant - and we have made it this far! It makes me happy, it really does, knowing that magical internet money is keeping my team with "food on the table", and that we can continue to build something, something that doesn't really depend on anyone else.

We are building the things we need, we see are needed, and we are putting our money where our mouth is. This is right, this is natural. Of course there is always the "other brain", who imagines that it would be better to help with nothing, add nothing, do nothing and just wait and hope that "number goes up", but I don't agree with that guy - even if he occasionally lives in my head.

Because builder's gonna build. What else can we do? I have been experimenting with and writing about token technology for so many years, its a hyper specialized skill set I suppose. I'll never be a crypto billionaire I guess but I for sure could be a guy that "works" in a totally decentralized and jurisdiction-less "space", its kind of like magic.

Why I like DAB

I really respect and sometimes am in awe of @silverstackeruk, and his "get rich slow" programs. Every time I think he couldn't do it again, he does - and all of his projects layer together! They make each other stronger. Its a solid community, especially adding in #saturdaysavers and it becomes a very disciplined sort of "community", something that really could help a user see "how" to use HIVE in their lives.

DAB never had a mint, couldn't be purchased like other tokens. But I got a chance to pick up a few DAB at what I consider to be quite a good price - 1.06 HIVE.

If the @dailydab made a post again, I'll probably come out on the top of the list, which seems fun. According to my calculations I am now earning ~33% apr on the tokens in liquid HIVE daily. That is incredible, and shows the banking brilliance and get-rich-slow discipline of @silverstackeruk.

And as you can see, I am already "divesting" or perhaps "investing" parts of my stake in the INCOME fund, even as I encourage all holders to sell their tokens to me. A new chapter is upon us - a new phase! And we keep working hard, both on our own designs and "destiny", as well as working hard for our clients. This DAO is our client, for example.

Check us out, vote for our @synergy.witness, and keep building!
