RE: Building the investor mindset

The rich list is absolutely a list of folks with an investor mindset. I don't think it is that hard to get onto the rich list, at least not in POB and some of the other communities within Hive. All you have to do is regularly engage and post good content, all the while staking everything, or near everything you earn. I have staked most everything I have earned in POB and now have 2000 POB staked. 1/4 of that was earned via a contest, but other than that, it's all be curation and posts. The more your interact with the folks on POB, or hive in general, the better known you become and the more votes you'll get...which leads to a larger wallet. The folks on the rich list have also put their own money into the system. You get a return on your money every time you curate. As I understand it, I'll get half of what I upvote on your content, and that's without having to be upvoted myself and without commenting...I just enjoy the interaction, so I do comment. :)
