I love it here! I'd love to be a more productive member of the community. I have big ideas and little means, lol. I'd like to crowdfund to buy patents to release into the public domain. I think it would be cool to acquire the genesis coin of every major blockchain, hire a well know artist to create a NFT depicting the coin/token, which we embed the token in, wrap them in something and put them to work earning while they shine in our NFT gallery. Finance is awesome and I'm learning a lot, but giving insulin to the world would go a long way toward getting some attention, as would hodling and working (like rented mules) every genesis coin. :D

I'm tired of begging people to come check us out. I say maybe we need to start burning shit until we're all that's left. :D

Edit to add... I feel like HIVE is in the same situation. We're a loose collection of good ideas with little means to advance them as fast as we'd like. I think we need leadership toward a major goal, like we had during the fork. Everyone was working together for the same end. We need one or two events like that per year. To be honest we need leadership in general. Decentralization should limit governance and promote leadership. I'm not sure if we're actually achieving that right now.

We do have some people stepping up, everyone mentioned in this post is doing a great job of encouraging engagement and bringing value to the community, both in growth and education, but there's still a lot of wilderness to tame and there are many who would like to carve out their own niche, but would fare far better in a group. If you just hand someone a machete and tell them to clear some ground they can do it, but it would be better if they knew which plants were useful so they could extract resources that they might otherwise waste.

I think the addition of collections will go a long way toward providing tribes a way to organize and be more more functional for community members, but that's just one aspect. Where do the general laborers and apprentices of this space fit in? Now for the second time tonight, I need to stfu, and go to bed.
