Just a couple days ago in one of my comment I was writing, that I have hopes to enter TOP-10 on the proof-of-brain token rich list. I have joined this tribe only EIGHT days ago. Terribly late. AS an outcome, only few of my posts are yet expired, and reward payouts received.
So the main source of these tokens was to trade on the hive-engine market.
When I have checked what the POB prices were only 4-5 weeks ago, it is quite a pain to see what I have missed.
Instead of paying only 0.01-0.04 Hive back then, nowdays price has surged up to 1-1.999 Hive.
With the smart, clever algo of POB tokenomics, and a true scarcity of this token, POB seems like a very attractive thing. And big, BIG advantage to my eyes is that there is no limitations on post subjects. Any reasonably made post can keep this tag, and collect POB rewards.
But to reach my ambitious goal of TOP-3, hmmmm.... could be not that easy. Even to reach the TOP-10 had seemed a solid and challenging milestone.
Yet still worth to try.
Once decided to go for this, I started trading on HE every day. All this past week. And here we are now:
Yes, that is it, this morning I got a small surprise to see the richlist standings. I have not even noticed when did I reached 10, and walked even one more UP, to number NINE
I have to admit, that it was a tough and bumpy ride. Hive-Engine POB liquidity is extremely low, and every buy order in size of few hundred Hive were moving price UP like crazy. Several times It have reached 1.9999 Hive for one POB. After accumulating ~4000 POB, my brain took over my emotions, and I said - enough is enough. I'd better go slow and steady, and by doing that I probably will pay only half of that.
As everyone can see on the charts, this is exactly what happened.
I'm still aimed to TOP-3, and possibly even #1 on that list, but.... sure it will take a bit longer (time) than I would like.
The moral is simple:
if you do not make something in time (and come late) - your options usually become limited to two unpleasant options :
pay a huge PREMIUM, or... be patient as hell, and take TIME to reach your goal.
Crypto is no exception.
