> Hey Crypto and coffee! Jon here, Musing.io founder. How've you been? Wanted to reach out to let you know about some new developments. We've done a lot recently for Musing and are now on our own blockchain with our own token. We have interest from pre-sale investors and have plans to do a token sale and be listed on exchanges. I reached out because I wanted to see if you were interested in writing again on Musing.

This is the message I received in Discord the other day and as tempting as it sounds it seems like a step backwards but then again who knows . I am still in two minds however and may look them up as it was one of the most productive times earning wise I have experienced on Hive.

I was wondering if my band of brothers and sisters who were also so busy during that manic time have also been contacted or not? They know who they are lol @acesontop,@bozz,@erikah as it did create a bond between us. It was like a gold rush on steroids where you literally did like 80 mini posts a day as replies to various questions. I know I couldn't put myself through that again and why I am hesitant even though it may be tempting. Time is the problem and quite honestly very happy being part of Hive and the tribes and have never looked outside of our blockchain. I have always believed that by doing stuff elsewhere you are spreading yourself too thin and it will end up costing you in the long run. 

I think the biggest problem is not the idea of doing it again, but the way it was run and it felt like a rug pool of sorts how they just left. One minute they were there and the next there was just silence and in this industry you need a good track record to garner support.

At the time they had a delegation from the powers above and they never staked any of the rewards and hence never grew as a community. Maybe this time being on their own with their own token things will be done differently and taken more seriously.

I am flattered to be asked back but things have changed and the tribes have given a new impetus into where the importance now lies. One has to just look at where Leo is heading and what has been achieved by a dedicated team and to think Musing had the same opportunity given to them and what did they do with it?

It is a good place to learn some things depending on the users involved obviously and noticed like before many of the topics are dominated by crypto related questions. I did answer one earlier as a test but it just felt wrong and kind of regret even doing that.

What is a serious red flag is the numbers from the good old days remain with over 34 000 questions answered yet the new site is literally 1 week old. They are carrying everything over from before yet that doesn't look like starting a fresh in my view so I don't think I will be doing anything else there.
