My LBI governance team nomination - @hykss

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Hey LBI shillers !

This is my nomination post so here is my "trust me" picture to make you comfortable (or not).

It's going to be a tough one for me as I'm not good at selling myself, actually I just don't like to do that.
To show you that, let's start with my "status" here on Hive/Leo.
I'm brand new here ! Hive account creation in December, just a bit more than 1 month old.
Compared to the old timers, well you can't really make a comparison, can you ? I understand it would be much harder to put some faith in someone who has no past in Hive community or Leofinance tribe.
Maybe I'll prepare an exit scam who knows :D
But since I'm here, I'm dedicating a lot of time and effort to bring some contribution to make Leo grow. And that's for the long run !

I've an IT background and been investing since early 2017, mostly stocks at the beginning and crypto later, early 2018.
It was just after the big drop in price (if I remember well BTC was at 8000 USD) but just at the beginning of the long bear run.
Being comfortable with technology, investment and crypto I imagine it could fit for the governance position :)
More importantly I'm easy to work with, I would facilitate communication between members of the team and you can be sure that I would never start any kind of drama that would be harmful in any way for the governance team or LBI as a whole.
Same as all of you, I'm invested in LBI with 3000 tokens at the moment (planning to reach 5k) and LEO with a bit more than 8600 tokens.
I have all the reasons to push LBI as high as I can, we all win together right.

And that's actually the main reason I'm proposing my help with the governance team.
To be honest I had a bad feeling not seeing any nomination for a week.
For two reasons, first for the people who are working their ass off on this project.
Yes it's a passive investment but for some it's far from passive ! They are writting posts, gathering stats, promoting the project, manually curating on a daily basis ! Big big thank you guys, you are amazing.
And yes it's a passive investment but we all know results will be even better the more effort we all put in. That's what I want to do, give some time and effort to grow LBI, being fully dedicated to the project.
I missed the SPI project and I feel it's a great opportunity to be part of LBI from the beginning.
The second reason, which is quite related, I was concerned nobody would nominate themselves and it would have been quite a blow for the project. It also could have impacted the hard workers here, why would they keep pushing as hard as now for people not really concerned by the project ?
Anyway that didn't happen and I would like to thank @empoderat, @bozz, @alexvan, @partitura and @scooter77 for their courage.

So here I am, more than being part of the governance team, I would like to show my dedication for the project I believe in.
And part of the team or not I will do my best to make LBI grow !
Thank you for taking the time to read, feel free to contact me on Leo discord if you want to ask more questions, I'll be happy to chat with you.
Let's make this great together.

Yay, so glad to see your nomination. I was concerned too at the beginning, when I saw no nomination, but it looks like we have a pool where to choose from.

Good luck! :)

Agree it’s much better to have to choose.
No nomination or not enough would have been terrible. What about your nomination ? ;)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Lol, you won't see me on the list, that's for smart people only 😂

Any idea what's the deadline for entries? Or when the voting will begin?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Haha I’m sure you’re way smarter than what you’re saying !

Nominations deadline is on 28th and vote will start on same day to finish on February 4th.

Nice to see a face behind this account :<)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I don't have the Austrian accent tho... oh wait I don't have the body either haha.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I wouldn't mind not having the body of a pumped up botoxed guy in his late 70s ;<)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I'm loving the 'trust me' picture hahahaha

welcooooome abooooooooooard to the LBI train!!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hahaha
Yeah let's make it an enjoyable ride all together !

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Congrats on the step and glad that we have nice options to choose.
Personally, I'm not much worried about the lack of rush for governance, as it is how a decentralized DAO or DAC should work. I would like to know more about your thoughts, not in light of "why" you are stepping in but in "what" is the specific skill you think it can be good for LBI and if you already have some general ideas to bring to the project.
Thanks again!!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you !
Well first of all I have time and motivation to dedicate to the project :)
I didn't think about it yet but being based in HK, I might be able to bring some activities or regulation opportunities, could brainstorm this one.
I like to understand the details of a process to then draft some excel sheets in order to maximize the profit/return out of it.
Got some experience in options trading which I think could be something we could bring to LBI if we include trading initiatives.
Love to diversify my portfolio with less-known opportunities like whisky maturing investment for example :)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I have 25 years of experience in non-financial assets, which now are called "alternative investments" so I can hear you with the Whisky example, haha. However, my best bet up today was to open a trading card game shop in 1997 which still runs today.
The idea of being into some tokenized "hard" assets is something to consider, definitely. RallyRd is a great example of what can be done. I expect several startups mixing this and crypto in the space in the next year or so. We'll see!

Impressive longevity !
To be honest I didn’t know about RallyRd before you mentioned it so I have to check online. My experience in cards is back to school with DBZ cards and then Magic, very limited as you can see :)
For sure NFT and hard cards will work together perfectly and will create good opportunities.

another member i like! now it will be even tougher if we have 2 votes to cast :P

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Only two votes? Why? We have to pick 3 people?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That’s a really good question, I will read again the gov post, maybe they mentioned 2 votes and I can’t remember.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

yeah made a mistake because i had already 1 person i would vote when writing the comment :P

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you for the kind words :)
The more nomination the better !
It will force us to think clearly about who we want to see at the gov team.
