I have heard good things about BRO but as I mention at the end of the post this is not meant to be a post pointing fingers at any specific tokens or tribes, it is more about the general ecosystem and how a majority of the tokens are either completely deserted or have only been liquidated by the creators/community and are deemed dead. Even though I am not that involved in the space I could count way more names of dead ones than those still alive and well.
So this post served more of a "how can we do better" and what has been the issue with most of them of which I gave one idea that most likely could be improved upon to make it even fairer and give investors a reason to add it to their spreadsheet. Some ways BRO has done their airdrops is a good step in the right direction, though, retrospective airdrops bring a lot more value to the place than just random/untargeted ones.
When bro dragon @acidyo ? (1000 bro holder)
when you least expect it bro
Would probably have to agree with you there in all honesty. We just recently moved to hive rewards instead of tribe rewards. At the beginning I was paying something crazy like 75% APR. A year later we were paying just over 1%. That's not a good look.
It's sad, you know. I'm hoping to switch that up a bit though. I'm creating something called the Dragons Den in our discord where people can apply for funding (for a percentage capital exchange). Perhaps that will help.
One thing is for sure though, is hive-engine needs more users.
The upcoming smart contracts will be interesting in that regards for guaranteed income streams that don't rely on you getting a number of their tokens to begin with but straight income through the contracts as well. Also interested to see what kind of tokens will be created and how they will work through HAF, i.e. what the costs will be and what kind of fees they will have for trading, etc, preferably the best outcome for Hive would be if they all relied on RC usage for smart contracts, etc.
If we could have a Hive Smart chain I would be really, really happy lol
Check out some of BT's latest comments I upvoted. :p
Does @brofi just blindly upvote anyone holding bro tokens?
Just noticed some weird votes so had to ask, doesn't really sound like appropriate curation if you aren't even whitelisting authors that receive the votes.
I was in a curation event the other day. I used brofi to share the love. Could have been that. Most (if not all) of the large holders are well established authors in the BRO circle.
That being said I've told them multiple times that we won't be voting shit, so if you abuse the service then you'll get taken off the vote. We do have a blacklist, yup, with one or two people on it already :)
Brofi upvotes for holding BRO is complimentary, so it's not an actual set in stone service. It's like something we do to help our community since we're not a tribe.
Okay yeah just wanted to make sure it wasn't completely void from observation and thus not allowing anyone to "buy into the token" to earn post rewards for farmy garbage. Thanks for the answer!
Hehe, no worries. That was actually my initial thought when I came up with the idea. How to stop just anyone buying in and outputting trash lol.
I think the real value comes from the token itself though. Way more benefits to just holding BRO, than using it as an upvote token. That is so tired and done a billion times it's not even funny anymore - but it's a nice complimentary service if you're a regular writer! (and don't spam)
