Every Brain Matters
Looking at the results of the VYB votes on a recent post I see that it is not just one or two whales that gave the vote for the post but it was spread among friends that I interacted with in POB.
At the opening of Vybrainium my vote was larger than it is now, but what I am seeing is there are a lot of new votes toward the top of the post that weren't there before. Maybe I couldn't notice their votes before because of low HP.
These friends make a big difference because we shared laughs together and stories together. It's each of their votes that makes a difference. They are the ones that are making the snow fall from the sky.
A verified brain
These people have a brain. They interacted with POB and now with VYB enough to make a difference in these communities. Some of them have been around for a very short time but their vote still matters.
Those who won tokens from vybolt and other incentives have already staked those tokens and found voting power on VYB frontend and now they used that voting power to contribute to authors on VYB. When I look into the votes on the VYB front end ,the top votes pop up like this:
These are people that have vested in the community and are making a difference. I am not ignoring the people that have staked Hive for a long time now. I appreciate the Hive and HBD vote a lot but VYB goes is a whole new playing field.
Here is something you need to know:
You guys have more VYB voting power than Curie and Someguy who voted on that post. Curie and Someguy don't even show up on the VYB list.
You can find the complete list of their Hive votes on Peakd.com. You can see now that some curators like @edje have a larger vote on VYB than the project they were curating for. This is insteresting. This is awesome. The little guy's playing field.
Awesome Community
This community is awesome because it is based on those who interacted over the past six months or more on Proof of Brain along with those who had the guts enough to buy VYB.
I see potential for a meaningful and productive community. We can actually collaborate to get works of art, books, NFTs, games and big ideas into production. I see the community already moving forward from just isolated individuals to a group that can help each other and work together.
This was evident in the Vybrainium-POB Talk post. Immediately @funshee shared here design skills to help @vempromundo with a logo for VP-talk.
I also saw how @jaxsonmurph is using POB and Vybrainium Punk stories to encourage interaction in the community and we both share the desire to see a Vybrainium Punk comic book.
I see that collaborations in small projects like this can become great collaborations in the near future.
Is their a use value in VYB?
For sure!!
It's in the community and this will be verified in how we work together as a team. It's in the earned opportunities each member of the community has. And it's value is in supporting free speech and opening a treasure chest of new ideas.
As time goes on I am more Bullish toward VYB and the community. I love the way things are going and the community is coming together to produce something awesome.
Good Vybrations!!
Good bass sound for more than 40 years ago.
