I've been asked to provide a vision for BRO, so here it is.

For those that have been with the BRO community token for the last year will know that my vision has and always will be to power up and compound everything I get.

But this I guess isn't really a vision to some, especially if you don't know what our community ethos is, or what we're about. I guess that's also a fair assessment that the Man Cave Project has lacked any clear vision of what we plan to do. I know it has been in my head since inception, and I've told many people this in our community, but this time I'll write it down so all of you can see my plans clear as day.

Whilst I thought it was clear to all, I respect that some people may not have an understanding of what we plan to achieve in the next 5-10 years.

So, here we go:

Executive Summary

The Man Cave Project plans to exponentially increase its swap value for hive, dig deep into more layering projects, and identify key strengths of the hive blockchain.

1. 2020 A year in Brief

The Man Cave Project was borne on a whim of an idea from a genius developer (@reazuliqbal), a savvy people person (@raymondspeaks), and a whizzy finance guru (@ecoinstant). The initial basic idea was for people to get BRO on hive engine in return for hive dividends earned from a large delegation.

We turned into so much more over the coming months and have blossomed into an $84,000 project (almost 650,000 Hive)

The Man Cave Project over the last several months has always looked to include and support tribes that are building on the second layer for the future. We do this by collecting a large stake in selected projects and spread their tokens amongst BRO holders in the aim to increase distribution. The network effect of this results in more awareness of The Man Cave Token and also the selected community tokens.

We are also a project that is very pro hive, and we have spent the last several months growing from a Project with only 500 hive power to one with nearly 40,000 hive power in a relatively short period of time.

With all this growth we realised this year we were going to have to a lot more on our plate.

2. Ethos

The Man Cave Project is set up and managed with the community in mind. We are a super transparent and flexible project that will always put its community first. What does that mean? That means I listen to what my community tells me on the discord server.

Sometimes I can have weird and wacky ideas, and all of you get a say in whether I implement them or not. I am acutely aware that I exist only because of my token holders and they are given the highest respect and autonomy over the direction of this project.

Discord: https://discord.gg/qd8J2x3

3. What's next?

I haven't been clear on this recently because my entire family was struck down with covid and it has taken me at least a month to recover. But here is where I find the next year exciting:

3.1 mLeo

At the beginning of this year (February - May) I will expect the mLeo drop to have happened. This will significantly increase our holdings. I will be looking at powering every last bit I am given up, and I may also look into buying some off the market. Details are sketchy for now because I have no idea what the drop will be, and how much we will get. What I DO know is that we own a significant amount of LEO and LEOM and whatever is dropped, it will be amongst the highest drop.

The plan for this is to power everything up and more, and continue with a similar 70/30 distribution to BRO holders.

3.1.1 3speak

From what @taskmaster4450 has been telling us in our Crypto Salad podcasts is that 3speak will be token dropping miners on all those that hold powered up hive in their accounts. This is another reason why I am slowly but surely accumulating hive. I want the miners, and I will compound the tokens regularly as I will hand out a similar 70/30 distribution model.

Again, details are sketchy because it hasn't happened yet. But these are my rough plans.

3.2 Token value

I expect these two projects alone will considerably boost the value of our token from the 8-9 hive it sits at right now.

3.3 Witness nodes

It is my plan to set up and run a witness node for the hive blockchain, and also a governance node for Leo once their governance token comes into fruition. This is coming up in the next few months.

3.4 The Broag to BRO merger

This has already taken place. It was put forth to me that by having two coins it splits the project in two, when my goal was to create a synergy of fiat flowing into both coins over the next year.

This way, by merging the two coins, and giving holders a similar price of BRO when they first bought Broag, I could focus on pumping just one bag.

I liked the idea, so I walked with it.

Over the next year I will be Internet Marketing, Teaching, running websites and a whole range of other activities for the sole purpose of pumping the bags of BRO. When this starts to gain traction, holders may see a nice uptick in coin holdings at months end.

4. Short term vision

I will continue to grow the Man cave Project regularly. The 30% I receive from dividends is 100% compounded. I will buy more tokens and invest deeper in other projects.

I am however currently looking into 3 key areas of the Hive blockchain at this moment.

  1. Accumulating more Leo
  2. Accumulating more Hive
  3. Diving into The Click Track Profit community
4.1 Leo

I am accumulating more Leo because it seems that Leo is the base asset for any further airdrops from the Leo finance community. I have identified that the more Leo we own the better it is for upcoming airdrops when they happen. I know of several projects from that community from their announcements and perhaps may have airdrops associated with it. The base token is what I am aiming for. I also still think currently it is highly undervalued.

4.2 Hive

Hive is being dumped weekly in the hundreds of thousands by people that are looking to cash out and have no interest in what's happening on the hive blockchain. That's fine. I am happy to buy the hive at a cheap value.

But what then happens when the second layer projects begin to make serious traction? All of a sudden projects will need serious hive to cover their growth. And it's not like these places aren't experiencing any growth. Just check out the growth in visitors every month in their published stats.

As @Taskmaster4450 said to me in our last podcast, Snapchat was only a man with a vision at some point. Growth isn't instant.

I have no worries about hive being at over $1 in a few months. So as people repeatedly dump, I will collect and power up.

4.3 CTP Community

One thing that incentivises me to buy into a community is their growth. The hardest problem I had at the beginning of The Man Cave Project was knowing what to put hive into because most projects (apart from leo) hadn't moved in any way shape or form. I guess Leo showed them what can be possible and now everyone is doing it.

I chose the CTP community because they were the next tribe to make significant moves to building on what they had become. Not only that but their vision is synonymous with what I am doing with Internet marketing. They are a tribe that helps Internet marketers achieve their goals. I liked this and I tested the robustness of their community before I decided to go into it. Which I have.

4.4 Other tokens.

I consistently and regularly monitor the second layer of hive for growth opportunities. If you are making moves then trust me that you are on my radar.

5. Long term vision

Compound, compound, compound, and perhaps throw some of my own money in here and there to boost our bags even further. My aim is in these three key factors:

  1. Token worth
  2. Distribution
  3. Community Growth
5.1 Token Worth

As we grow in size and scale, as will our token. My key aim over the next five years is to make an extremely hive heavy token for our community to use. 9 Hive? With the numbers I am looking at long term I will be looking at token value in three figures. Over time we will accumulate in size

5.2 Token Distribution

It is my final aim to be able to grow our project large enough that BRO owners will get such a diverse and generous portfolio of solid tokens from the hive second layer each and every day.

5.3 Community Growth

Let's not forget that we are a community as well as a token, and our community is what keeps us moving. I plan to grow our community exponentially over the next five years and integrate all manners of fun and interesting endeavours to take part in. I plan to concentrate on the token core first, and then focus and grow on the community aspect in the future. More on this next year.

6. Speculative points of interest

Most of us that have been in "crypto" for longer than two years will know that we have a season, and that Bitcoin has a cycle. Whilst this isn't written in stone, those that have noticed, will know there is a distinct pattern that Bitcoin follows, and we are more than likely set on an upward trend for the rest of this year before crashing next year.

During our "season" we are likely to see the following things happen despite everything else our chain is doing

  1. Increase in Hive Price
  2. Renewed Interest in Hive
  3. More builders coming to our chain
6.1 Increase in Hive Price

Whilst again, not set in stone, the price of hive is likely to rise as Bitcoin climbs higher towards its peak during the season

6.2 Renewed Interest in Hive

With the price increase we will more than likely see a massive influx of new users as new people are onboarded through the tried and tested, "wow, look at how much I earned from this post" scenario. If Bitcoin 10x from here, and Hive only maintains a level price, then we will be seeing $200 posts again. My estimate is far higher though. But we will see.

6.3 More builders

Like with any Bitcoin season hive collects a handful of new builders that bring their talents and skills to the chain. After the initial shock of earning $100 on one post, they will eventually find the value of building on here and begin new projects of their own. Expect this to only exponentially increase as Bitcoin crashes again and we are all forced out of our deckchairs by the beach on a remote island and into our war rooms again.

I expect the building on hive to only increase exponentially from this point forward. Since our inception we have already seen two other tokens do similar to what we are doing. Expect many options, tons of projects, and a golden choice of good places to put your hive into from this point forward.

My point of interest here is to continually watch the growth and development on the second layer of hive and to identify projects that have the potential to grow and be more than what they are.

7. Builders room

We have a builders room that is sorely under-utilised in the Man Cave. This is where people with fresh, original and new ideas can come and pitch their projects to us. If they are good ideas, with a solid game plan, and a proven record of excellence then it is my hope that we as a community can band together to get them funded. We only started this last year, so expect this place to be a hot topic in the following year.

8 Conclusion

There is a lot of negativity right now on hive because of the coin price, but it is my well researched opinion that Hive will only see positive growth in the future. Both in hive token and on the second layer. We will continue to monitor, buy into, and support projects on the second layer as we grow in our size exponentially.

Only good news from here I am expecting.

I like the vision and where the BRO community is headed and now that I'm in the rebuilding phase of my account, I plan on growing with it. I'm seeing the same thing with HIVE and am adding to my HP week by week. The partnership with CTP has me looking forward to the combined power that both groups bring to each other So today, I invested in some CTP miners and plan to do more with LEO as well.

Love the interest in the CTP community! I've been buying some miners for a few months now and the increase in token price has been nice to see, though doesn't matter to me, all my CTP is staked not sold!

I think that Hive should slowly be able to get a bigger presence on the open market as a good place to develop and be for crypto. It's hard to get a community of thousands of people to nearly immediately test your project unless you are involved with Ethereum but that comes with gas fees and other crap that isn't conducive to development. Hopefully more people realize that!

I think the time will eventually come for that. There's not enough hype on hive yet. Give it time :)

For sure, we've got lots of time indeed. No need to get FUD like others do and sell off all of their stake. To the people who just sell everything though, good riddance.

Well I think people should take profits when they can. But they'll be sorry when they see us fly. Their choice! :)

A clear vision for the future goals are never a bad thing. May 2021 bless the Man Cave abundantly. I have watched your project from it's humble beginnings to what it's become now, and I am impressed with your efforts and dedication Raymond. !wine

3speak will be token dropping miners on all those that hold powered up hive in their accounts

Theycallmedan said in the comments of his announcement post that it would be airdropped to liquid hive as well. Don't know if anything have changed since then.

I will be looking at token value in three figures

I got my Bro Silver tokens coverted to Bro and I noticed that I only had like 9 of them. That felt like a really random number, so I had to quick buy some more to move me to at least 10 Bro tokens so I could have a nice round number to look at. Now my OCD is fully satisfied! It sounds like you folks have a really great plan for the future. I feel bad I was scared off in the early stages. I really missed out because of one bad apple.

Well, think of our growth. We've went from 2 hive to 9 hive. Do you REALLY think I'm going to sit there and be satisfied with 9 hive? :)

Interesting to read. Glad that my quest made some sense to motivate this mission. Thank you for being detailed.

Broag > BRO

Where can I get BROAG? I asked in the previous post and didn't seem to get a response.

4.3 CTP Community

Good that BRO is looking to this direction.

4.4 Other tokens

Suspense here again...

The Man Cave Project over the last several months has always looked to include and support tribes that are building on the second layer for the future. We do this by collecting a large stake in selected projects and spread their tokens amongst BRO holders in the aim to increase distribution.

This is really a great initiative. You're using the BRO token to build-up other Hive tokens. I think I now really understand BRO's vision and it's convincing enough.

We have a builders room that is sorely under-utilised in the Man Cave. This is where people with fresh, original and new ideas can come and pitch their projects to us. If they are good ideas, with a solid game plan, and a proven record of excellence then it is my hope that we as a community can band together to get them funded.

Very powerful.

Thanks for sharing this.

Hey man, sorry for the late reply. Broag was merged into BRO. The goals are still the same, but you can no longer purchase Broag.

Having been a part of CTP for about a year, now, I am appreciative of the focus that you have brought to this community. @jongolson and @blainjones have made significant strides in the Hive community over the past year and their plans for the this year are down right exciting.

I was just introduced to BRO four or five months ago and have been investing what little I can in it since then. It was nice to be able to catch a glimpse of your vision and see your commitment to growing the Hive community, as well. You have my continued support and I look forward to being a part of BROs growth over the coming year and beyond.
