That's an excellent first rule, as I've experienced just how important it is a few times already, from a good dose of negative contrast.
There is no shortage of negative energy on Hive and anywhere in the world for that matter.
Yesterday, I got around to getting caught up in reviewing discord server channels of interest. On the Hive server channel I saw the following while scanning chat logs.

I don't know how much you know about the issues related to BRO project, token and and the Ray behind the project.
I did find out that @acidyo likes to make fun of other Hivers. Here is a known influencer on Hive making fun of my #TooFuckkeh problem solving token use case. And he did it in response to another Hiver experiencing mental health concern.

So @acidyo, don't make shit up behind my back. I am here so go ahead and challenge me here if that is an unresolved issue for you.
The following is the current MCap for PEPT problem solving token.

My world is all about connecting dots, understanding sequence of events and trying to determine possible outcome based on data collected and analyzed.

So I see $4.5 trillion compared to $1.81 trillion.
So what and who cares? It is a calculated number and meaningless without context.
When I connected the dots I found that someone got pissed off because I stopped supporting his witness server account and suddenly I saw an increase in negative energy.
In many of the blogs I published on PEPT I make reference to using a People, Process and Technology framework to better understand the root causes in systems. Most problems are rooted in the People sphere of influence.

ok, now I feel better and I welcome all responses.
Now we know that we can select a liquidity pool based on what we know about the person behind the project. Priority #1
Next we look at the process and technology behind the liquidity pool selection.
This is how I use quality elements in a risk and reward analysis.
