RE: Meanwhile ... Back at the OBC Corral
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The power of a symbol comes to mind, @brianoflondon, upon opening my account here on Hive and seeing this response:
"Fixed, really sorry it took me so long to see this, very unusual."
Actions speak louder than words is an old saying. Nonetheless, as true today as ever, in my view. The principle behind what you have elected to do, in backing these words with this transaction, is not lost on me. And it speaks very well for who you are and your integrity.
My response:

Thank you for your example of integrity. In more ways than I can adequately express right now, it is encouraging to me. I hope here on this blockchain, for those who may find it now or in the future, it may also serve you well, in the eyes of others.
At least I can upvote your comment with a pretty sizeable amount :-) and you can't turn that down.
Hive is a special place because everything we do is recorded and public: my reputation here on Hive is like the share price of a public company: it's linked to a large amount of possible future earnings. Those are tied up in me keeping my pristine reputation for honesty.
As much money as I could make by dishonestly taking $2 or $3 or even $100, that's peanuts next to what I consider my reputation to be worth in the future. This is a very specific and valuable side to Hive which is poorly understood outside this ecosystem.
I haven't had to fix many problems really and I do aim to fix things quicker than this. I think your original problem happened when I just wasn't in a position to fix and I wasn't scanning all the systems.
Seeing through the eyes of others, @brianoflondon, is something I had at least an idea of when deciding to actively participate on this blockchain. It was one thing to read about it and quite another to experience it firsthand. Thank you for giving me your perspective:
Your view of it is new information. And very interesting to think about what that might mean for my ongoing work-in-progress determination of what my why is going to be. Specifically, why I would continue to invest my time in actively participating in this virtual world.
At a glance through your posting history, I will follow your account now and hope to read more about how your hopes for your future in here works out.
P.S. Not personally being a fan of the whole idea behind them, I loved your pronouns! Hahaha ... 😉
