Seeing through the eyes of others, @brianoflondon, is something I had at least an idea of when deciding to actively participate on this blockchain. It was one thing to read about it and quite another to experience it firsthand. Thank you for giving me your perspective:
"... my reputation here on Hive is like the share price of a public company: it's linked to a large amount of possible future earnings. Those are tied up in me keeping my pristine reputation for honesty."
Your view of it is new information. And very interesting to think about what that might mean for my ongoing work-in-progress determination of what my why is going to be. Specifically, why I would continue to invest my time in actively participating in this virtual world.
At a glance through your posting history, I will follow your account now and hope to read more about how your hopes for your future in here works out.
P.S. Not personally being a fan of the whole idea behind them, I loved your pronouns! Hahaha ... 😉
