We Are Doing It Wrong .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 152
A few weeks/months ago, I created a post named Eyes Off the Prize and it was one of the previous WORKERBEE pool reports, which didn't have too much with the report itself, but rather about our expectations that sometimes can demotivate us... I wrote about stalking whales, trying to dance as they order, and all stuff that was hypnotizing me, but at the same time preventing me from growing!
This time, I got "inspired" by one comment that a person left on our @liotes mission post that we are doing every Wednesday... The question was "Are there any rewards for Liotes rankings?" There are two things regarding this that triggered me a bit... The first one is that it was explained in the post that there are rewards for the rankings and in the previous post explained that the Top 15 ranked get LEN tokens every month... It's not that hard to research things if you are interested...
And the second thing is that the challenge itself was created in a way that it helps people to follow their progress at Hive or to be more exact, that is already a reward as it should motivate you to grow!

Anyways, the whole thing is deeply connected to our old problem, Hive is marketed as a platform where you are PAID for creating content... While it is partially true, it is not a complete truth! I have to connect another "experience" that I witnessed in the Ecency Discord a few days ago as it is a perfect example of how people misunderstood HIVE and how it works... The guy came to the room and began whining about how his work wasn't appreciated and how the system was not appreciating him!
I don't want to go into other details that he was creating 1 post per 2 months, trying to sell "his post" to others, and asking for upvotes, but I want to focus on just a few WORDS from the last paragraph...
Hive is marketed as a platform where you are PAID for creating content
and
The system did not appreciate him
We humans have one very bad characteristic, and it is to BLAME something/someone else when we make a mistake... I remember one funny anecdote from the time when the first computer printers were invented... Before that, you had to type on a typing machine, you could make typing mistakes and blame the typing machine... But with printers, it was not possible to blame "the machine"... So it was funny to hear people saying how "printer skipped a letter and not them".. 😃
In our example, as we marketing HIVE as a PLATFORM that rewards people for creating content, people do think that the SYSTEM is paying them rewards... "Whale accounts" are sort of computer software that prints and sends money to creators... Because of all that, it is the SYSTEM that has failed and not ME... Not me, but every other human being on this platform... It's not the problem in me, but in everyone else... Be honest, what are the odds that's the case?
I will leave the same message as I did in the above-mentioned post... Focus on PEOPLE, appreciate and respect them, and the content that gives value to your life... Share your experience that could help someone else, and you will be rewarded... By people, with words, maybe monetary value, but definitely with human touch and care... You can't get that from "the system"...
Back to the Workerbeee report numbers!
Not too many movements in the pool in the last 7 days... We had one undelegation, some added delegations, and one mistakenly staked tokens instead of being delegated... It looks like @lemonp8ste staked his WORKERBEE tokens to this account and not to HIS account (@lemonp8ste please reply in the comment section to discuss further steps)... Please be cautious when you are doing these things... I have explained the process at the bottom of the post!
Thanks for your trust!
In the last 7 days, we mined 119 BEE tokens in total!!!
This POOL doesn't have fees and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
I know that most of you/us are degens and we like to have in our portfolios tokens that have the possibility to 10x, or 100x, but... If you want to have a well-diversified portfolio, you have to have some of those "boring", slow-growing tokens... They will not make you rich, but they will preserve the value of your money, which is very important when you are battling the fight with inflation... Cash is trash, and these assets are there to help you to not lose the value... I have a couple of those tokens in my portfolio and one of my favorites is the CTPSB tokens! You can find more details about it at the official account, @ctpsb! Of course, if you don't like it, you can sell it on the market... There is always liquidity, so no worries about that...
There will be distributed 3.5 CTPSB tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... There will be distributed 118 BEE tokens and 3.5 CTPSB tokens as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 8.044%, and when we added the bonus it went up to 9.814%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens at the moment of creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (@ph1102)! Every week you will get the your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!
All payments will be made after publishing this post...
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section!

Even some of us get that way, but I know it's not the system itself that if failing us, the problem is that the community doesn't really pay any attention and there is a very big gap in engagement vs people posting and wanting to earn. I'll admit, I get discouraged quite a bit when seeing the same authors get higher upvotes than others who work just as hard. There is a favorites game that gets played around here. Those are the issues. It's not they system itself, it's the community.
People that only post once or twice then leave completely miss the point of building their reputation. The way Hive is marketed needs an overhaul for sure because nothing is guaranteed. Even for someone like me that has built multiple projects and has been around trying to provide value for year.
Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks for your WORKERBEE vote on my witness! It really helps keep my little projects alive!
What I realized through engaging with newbies (and some other not-that-newbies) is that everyone expects to be upvoted on their posts, but not many are really upvoting others with their stake! I see a lot of delegations going out to big whale accounts (some of them aren't even curators as they upvote according to stake), leaving the responsibility for upvoting to big whale accounts... I wouldn't say that it's a problem of those big accounts, but rather the community mindset, as you stated... If I want to go hard, it could be called hypocrisy, as people expect something, without giving anything in return...
Of course, there are a bunch of automatic votes and favoritism, but that's something that will always exist...
Nice bonus 👍. Thanks as always Mr. Zoltan. It's already 2024 and you're still keeping up doing this. It's a pleasure to join the workerbee ph-pool.

You are right, this pool is close to its 3rd anniversary... Can't believe that it is already that many years...
I am not sure whether seeing HIVE as a platform which only pays for creating contents.
Many people do see it like that... It's not that hard to spot them...
good one bro
Thanks!

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 37/57) Liquid rewards.
Thanks for your curation!
I’m sure that the guy complaining about his works not being appreciated is a newbie and that’s why anyone who is inviting someone should give them a perfect explanation on how it works before deciding to share the link
Yup... that's why I put the title "WE ARE...", as we are making a mistake by promoting Hive wrongly...

BEER.Hey @ph1102, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @eii for you. Enjoy it!Learn how to earn FREE BEER each day by staking your
BEER.I think it's definitely an issue of marketing. Promoting it as a place to earn makes it hard because people might leave when they see their first few posts earn pennies. It takes time to build a following and I think Hive has a lot of other appealing things. The resource credits and free transactions makes it worthwhile.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/CTPSB tokens.
When you are sold on the story that SYSTEM is PAYING YOU, you don't realize the importance of building your following and losing the whole picture of a social network... It's crazy how some people think that HIVE is just an ATM that gives free money...
I think everyone is somehow equipped with a "growth" capacity but then we get lazy, complacent and too over reliant. I think that's the case with that guy. There's nothing wrong with hive, infact it's one of the best systems out there. I just feel that when people begin to inadvertently enjoy their journey, everything they seek will come to them.
It wasn't laziness (okay, maybe it was that too), but more ignoring the whole concept of a social network, real people creating and engaging, and not appreciating what you have... I want it all for me, as I deserve it!
As I said, it's not the system that failed, but us... with our greediness, ego, and selfishness...
I think the example you cited often happens with people who come to the platform with the get-rich-quick mindset. Hive is all about consistently providing value to readers and getting rewarded as a result. No other way.
The BEE token initiative is a good one keep it up.
I suppose that I was also one of those who was lured into HIVE by that idea... But, the cold shower came and I understood that it would not be like that... Put on my big boys pants and start building... As quicker we accept how it is, the faster we can adapt and build a healthy portfolio and account!
That mindset that people join hive to make money needs to be erased and if we should do that, at first it might a bit affect the platform but as time goes on, we will blend
Thanks for the update and tokens!
Wow what a deep post. Some people just feel too entitled - clearly they don't understand how Hive works. Another group of people I know, they keep posting but they don't bother replying to comments or engaging others. Sounds odd but as long as they are happy, who am I to judge.
I wouldn't say that's another group, but rather the same... the one that doesn't understand what is HIVE... If you don't engage, what are you doing on the SOCIAL NETWORK? 😃 The name says, SOCIAL... lol... 😂
Hehehe you are right!
This is a funny but at the same time accurate example to conclude this issue. However, every new person expects support because 99% of them think Hive is make money platform. Detailed information must reach earlier them to clear the confusion of those newbies so they can interact and stay active on the platform.
I try to understand that, but how can you expect "support" when you come to the platform without any friends or followers? We are doing it wrong as the newcomers think that "something/someone" will and HAS TO support you when you come to HIVE... Who does that for you on Instagram, or FB? It would be ideal if Hive would be mainstream and when you come here, you already have all your family and friends here to support you from Day 1... When we get to that point, we won't have to explain to people what social networks are... :)
But, you are 100% right with that wording... "money-making platform"... that sounds so bad and so wrong... but, I know that people do imagine HIVE as that...
This is great gift to the users. The good thing is that such things will attract more people and people will surely participate in its polls.
Thanks for distributing CTPSB tokens :-). Appreciate it!
You are welcome! It's a pleasure seeing token value going up day by day!
Perfectly true. I think we need to work on changing people mindset about what and how they see hive as a get rich quick scheme which is not actually supposed to be so
It's all about the mindset, expectations, and reality... When we have those things in balance, everything is easier...
