Yesterday, I was in a walk with a friend and we had a fantastic talk about different topics, not too much about crypto... But, there is always a connection... 🙂 Somehow, we got into the topic of different European countries and how some were "luckier" than others after WW2... As the conversation was in Spanish, I had trouble translating a specific English word... Underdog... Let me help you out with a definition if you are not a native English speaker...
A competitor thought to have little chance of winning a fight or contest.
"We go into this game as the underdogs"
a person who has little status in society.
"What is it like to be an underdog in America?"

Why did that word come up at all? During the walk, we met a guy from Poland who has lived in Spain for 20 years and he shared some of his views about the EU and migrations to it... As I lived in a country close to Poland, I found myself in his words... It was easier to connect with him, to understand, than it is to some Spaniards, for example... After WW2, almost the whole of Central and Eastern Europe was under the USSR's influence, and that wasn't a good thing... Because of that, most countries that were at least at the same level (some even wealthier) as others in Europe, dropped to the level of 3rd world countries (no offense)...
All that created a big split in our way of thinking, which made big differences between Eastern and Western Europe... Those from the Eastern part became underdogs... If you were coming from there, to succeed, you had to make 10 times more effort than your colleagues in the West... On one side, that's not bad as you invest more effort, and more thought processes, you are more cautious and responsible... On the other side, it creates hatred and anguish toward others with better living/business conditions... It makes no sense, but we do compare each other and sometimes, we are angry at others because we didn't get the same chances... A lot of times, life isn't fair...
After all that brainwashing, it's hard to get out of it... It's like being in a sect where leader(s) are poisoning your brain with wrong ideas... Eventually, they succeed, and people give up... At other times, the only solution is to escape out of the brainwashing machine... It's hard to think when you are IN THE MACHINE... And then... When you are out, it's hard to find faith in other humans, it's hard to do the right thing... Like in the The Shawshank Redemption, when Red came out of jail after 40 years... He couldn't fit in...
We had a talk about a similar topic in one of the #HHHLive shows when we mentioned Latin America, and Africa, and ask ourselves why crypto was more used (and adopted) than in other places... I suppose that the answer could be in the "underdog mentality"... They have to invest more time, more energy, and sometimes, people don't have a choice, and they have to EXPERIMENT... Embrace new things faster, getting more value as early birds, but taking more risks...
The question for the end is... What do you do with your "early bird advantage"? Did you take profits early and jump back into the previous state, or did you make an additional step and continue your growth to finally get out of the "underdog zone"...
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week we have mined 103 BEE tokens in total!!!...
This week we didn't have new delegators, but we did get more delegations from our old members... Thanks guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
Let's go back to the roots and to one of the first games on HIVE, Splinterlands... It's great to see that the game still attracts many gamers and there is still innovation and new things added to it... As it is massively played among Hivians, I like to give away the SPS tokens as a bonus as I know it would come in handy to many of you...
There will be distributed 340 SPS 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... 103 BEE tokens and 340 SPS tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 8.034%, and when we added the bonus it went up to 9.716%!
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...
