I just went and bought myself some more Hive on Bittrex. I traded out of a couple of my little "flyers" and added to my holdings. Why? Three words: Proof of Brain.

Everybody (rightly) is talking about all the exciting things going on with this platform right now. There are the upgrades to the Hive Engine. There are communities sprouting up left and right. Tokens are becoming available on all sorts of promising projects. The "Twitter" of Hive is being launched next month called #projectblank. Diesel pools, upgrades to infrastructure, tiny fees, etc. The list goes on and on. The possibilities and opportunities are becoming more numerous by the day. Literally!

But there's one thing I believe is the most important growth engine of all. **Brainpower.

Why is Twitter banning people? Why is YouTube shutting down accounts? Why is FaceBook trying to build their own currency? Why are they all involved in censoring free ideas and speech? Because they see what's coming*.

The world has changed, almost overnight. It started with an unknown blockchain in 2009 and it's been gathering speed ever since. No longer are the masses simply confined to interact, learn, earn, and speak under the auspices of big government, big banks, and big tech. There is a growing platform where people can make their own money, in their own currencies, with their own ideas, at their own pace. They can be their own bank, be a part of their own communities, and work at their own company. THAT'S what Hive is. And it's just getting started.

We can see the numbers. The cryptospace is growing by the day. And as it does, people are finding their way here. As this community grows, it's not growing by adding leeches and parasites, it's adding hard-working, intelligent, innovative people who can, and WANT, to think for themselves. We're not all developers or tech wizards or even master wordsmiths, but the vast majority of us have brains that we want to use and get credit for using. We want to be successful and be a part of everyone else's success as well. We all want to get there together.

That's the community that's being built in Hive. And as the successes mount, more and more "brains" will recognize the opportunity this place offers and will join to make it even better. Whereas on the big social media sites, our brains are the product, here, we are the brains behind the operation. We are the builders, the mechanics, the creators, the curators, and the innovators who make the engine run. And we get to pay ourselves to do it.

Every new member is another brain; another building block to what's being built. *The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. And with the number of parts being added on a daily basis from everywhere around the world, that sum will be great indeed!
