Hey everyone,
This is my self-nomination for the LBI governance team.
Honestly, I feel a bit shy about 'selling myself' because I don't feel that comfortable talking about my merits, I try to be one of those human beings who try to force himself about 'doing' instead of 'thinking about doing'.
However, this is somewhat necessary as I'm 'applying' for a responsibility position into the LBI team.
Let's talk a bit about my Background & Vision:
Even if it seems that this account has been created in mid-2019, the truth is that I've been involved with Hive (formerly Steem) since October 2017.
I struggled like everyone during the bear market and after a lot of ups and downs as a crypto trader, I got 'lucky' to be here at the right time. Managed to receive the initial LEO airdrop and I've been stacking ever since.
BUIDL BUIDL BUIDL!
I think I'm one of those users who doesn't need to say that 'believes in LEO's future', as I've been there in the darkest possible times for the chain and I keep accumulating whenever I can. I'll let my stake to talk about my commitment to the LeoFinance success.
At the time of writing, I'm holding:
- 70.000 LEO making me the #10 top individual holder of the token.
- 10.000 LEOM making me the #5 top individual holder of the normal miners.
- ~4500 LBI tokens (purchased 3,5K today & waiting for the LBI transfer), you can read my battle against the market maker here.
Recently & since a few months ago, I've been thinking about a plan to launch my own token, linked to trading profits, but I'm very busy lately with a lot of things and I keep postponing this idea one time and another.
A few days ago or so, I made a 'click' in my head. As a 'whale' I could easily be an 'LBI in my own terms' since my stake here is very big and I'm generating over 500 LEO/week only from curation/mining... but then I thought about the 'dilution of work problem'.
¿The 'Dilution' Problem?
Imagine a decentralized network with decentralized governance. then imagine a tug war of epic proportions. Now imagine people trying to carry that network into 1000 different directions.
Such a mess right? This is what's happening right now with HIVE. And itself it isn't a bad thing If you ask me, is... 'what it must be'.
Because our base layer is something very important and we already accomplished the hardest thing: the foundation.
With LeoFinance happens exactly the contrary. Currently, the project is led by khaleel & team who did (and they're doing) a stellar work pushing LeoFinance ahead.
This is great, but it's also a delicate attack vector. Do somebody remembers the first hours after the WLEO hack in discord? We weren't able to do nothing rather than wait for Khal to wake up. Long and painfully hours...
Which opens the debate for the future decentralization of LeoFinance (currently being worked on, details TBA).
Sorry, I'm going round in circles.
My point is, 1+1 = 3
Instead of trying to launch my own product and get a 0,3 score; I think it's wiser to allocate my resources & efforts into LBI (which already has a score of 5) to get a overall score of 6.
Yes, because synergies matter.
'Walk alone and you'll go fast, walk together and you'll go further'.
Remember how SPI started snowballing and where it is now? LBI is another 'consequence' of that snowballing success, and as such, I want to be in.
Imagine 'Leo-Backed Investments' as a decentralized DAO operated by all their token holders. How that machine will be able to boost the community engagement and act somewhat (and once it grows more & more) as a decentralized Venture Fund powered by LEO and securing everything with HIVE in the base layer.
All the funds shared between 5-10 multi-sig wallets, with emerging governance teams & subteams for content production, project analysis, investing & risk management, curation, gaming... etc.
The possibilities are endless and we still don't know (we can't) where we'll be headed, but...
I want to help with what I can. Vote for me If you think that I would be a suitable addition to the LBI governance team.
Have a nice day, and thanks for reading.
EDIT: glad to see that we have more nominations coming ( at time of writing)! Shoutout to @scooter77, @bozz, @alexvan & @partitura for stepping in! Good luck everyone.

Since...
@taskmaster4450le (20,070 $LBI)
@trumpman (1,050 $LBI)
@filotasriza3 (500 $LBI)
@badbitch (5 $LBI)
@josediccus
...are endorsing you, I am too! Also I have known of you since the old Steem days and have always found you to be an honest person. Now to figure out where to nominate or vote for you.
I only have a little over 5 $LBI but I guess I can still participate? This post by @lbi-token is the only information I have found so far.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Seeing my name pop up here with just 5 LBI was kinda funny, on the other side am ashamed of that figure against the other listed names, but then, the question still remains on how to vote...
Let me quickly check the link... :)
One of the main points of HIVE is to be a cooperation, not a competition.
Together onwards :)
Thanks for your support, ure a 'good'bitch after all
Have a great weekend!

Hahaha, good-badbitch I like that :) you're welcome...

I would not worry about it. So many HIVE Tokens to choose from it can be overwhelming. Plus, they ain't cheap them $LBI tokens! 😁
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess "the how" is what we need to know now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I provided a link to all the information I was able to find. Maybe more information will be forthcoming. We shall see.
Thank you for your support. It's a bit overwhelming, didn't expect this reaction from the community to be honest (just a shy self-nomination, almost a 'cold' process hehe. Thanks, full of gratitude.
Regarding the votes, Watch out for @lbi-gov account. I'm still learning about everything, but as far as I know, the votes will be counted from an official post by this acc.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess, I am going to nominate myself. I have no idea that how many vote someone can cast. But I can assure you if I have to cast a single vote than I will vote for you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Try it! We'll improve together :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How?*

Great that you are putting your name forward. I must say I am impressed with how much skin you have in the game and believe that brings with it a lot of trust. I believe this LBI thingy will be a learning experience for all of us and I look forward to reading all the nominations before making my final vote.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Missed the SPI train, not going to miss the LBI one.
Will be a long and fruitful experience, I'm sure. I like the 'get rich slowly' mantra.
Thanks for your support :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Think you're a good candidate, you're someone who has the knack for productivity and you'll make a very good addition to the governance team. I didn't know you came here in 2017 i myself came here in September. You're right about something, the decentralisation of Leo is something that would be ideal going forward.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks Jose :)
Note that decentralisation is a process, not a 'one-time event'.
Remember that at some point, only Satoshi knew about their little child Bitcoin.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You sure get my vote mate ;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you are elected you will do a great job!
Good luck buddy!

Hive > Leo > LBI - DO we need three levels of decentralization ?
Hive is the base layer & full decentralization & security are required.
LEO is working towards creating a decentralized environment in Layer 2, seeing that SMT are still far away and we can't 'rely' on Hive-Engine.
It has been a great tool to kickstart LEO, but nowadays we need better infrastructure to work on. That infrastructure will be built on HIVE, so we're relying again on the base layer.
LBI will be (is) a centralized project at their infancy. Give it a few months/couple of years and you'll see how further this machine goes.

ohhh yeah another nomination! i approve of this one :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Much appreciated buddy :)

where can I find the voting button? I don't think I gat to think twice about this one.
Good Luck!

I don't really know much about you sir but with the little I know and have read from your post. I see the type of vision and initiative you have for the blockchain itself. Which I'm sure you'll be a great addition to the lbi-token team and do a great job.
👍👍👍👍👍

Glad to see you taking this step also! Well said, it is better to own a slice of a watermelon, than a small grape.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't have any objection, have my support!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Will vote for you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That will be more problems and more works. I think, let's gain to rational direction to make the platform bigger and empower more users to grow better than supporting small community that have their own purpose not to all community members
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You have my vote. Thanks for nominating, I think you will make an excellent addition to LBI team.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You have lots of cred and skin in the game. Your enthusiasm and experience does stand you in good stead for this project. Good luck!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
you got it!!!!
I think I will stack more LBI next few days too. You got my vote ( if I know how I vote :D). The best thing is you should post again if voting is available to don't miss out on my dust vote :)

I strongly support the decentralization of project governance so that all hodlers can truly be part of the project, at least being able to vote for what they think is best for the project in their view.
A project can never be fully decentralized because in my opinion it is always necessary to have people connected to the project in order to be able to continue to implement / develop features but the decision of what should be the next steps of the project can be decentralized.
