Last week I posted my "Battlestar Galactica Hypothesis" regarding what happened to the proofofbrain.io website. For the sake of argument, let's assume history repeats itself and POB will follow a similar path to becoming Hive's bitcoin. If that's the case now is the time to start discussing POB's Vladimir Club. I don't recall anyone posting about this before, but if someone did, it must have been a while back. If that's the case, consider this an update.
As stated by a post on the Binance Academy glossary:
The term “Vladimir Club” was first mentioned on BitcoinTalk forum in 2012 and was originally applied to Bitcoin. User Vladimir suggested that owning 1% of 1% of the max supply of Bitcoin was a good idea, and the term Vladimir Club was coined right after. Since the max supply of Bitcoin is 21,000,000 coins, anyone with more than 2,100 BTC can be considered a member of the Vladimir Club.
and
Since the Vladimir Club concept became more popular in the cryptocurrency community, the term is often used to refer to other cryptocurrencies, other than Bitcoin. For instance, any person owning more than 1% of 1% of the max supply of the BNB may be considered a member of the BNB Vladimir Club.

The maximum supply of POB on Hive is the same as bitcoin, 21 million, so any user with more than 2,100 POB is a member of the POB Vladimir Club. However, since bitcoin isn't proof of stake while the Proof of Brain token is, there is a caveat regarding whether the 2,100 should be in liquid balance or staked. I suppose either one counts though I wouldn't include accounts that only have 2,100POB or more solely providing liquidity to the diesel pools.
Speaking of diesel pools, what does it cost to buy into POB's Vladimir Club? At the time of writing this, the current rate is roughly 11.76 SWAP.HIVE. With slippage factored in, it's around 11.83 SWAP.HIVE to receive the full 2,100 POB.
Not financial advice but some random on the internet once posted that owning 0.01% of bitcoin's total max supply would be a good idea. As some random on the internet I suppose that might also be true for Proof of Brain.
For less than the current equivalent of $6 USD the membership into the POB Vladimir Club doesn't seem unreasonable.

Based on the current ranking of staked and POB balance in descending order on the POB token richlist, these are the members of the POB Vladimir Club. It looks like there are a lot more staking members than those who hold a balance. I am included in the staking part of the club twice with my @holovision and @holovision.cash accounts.

I like #POB and #VYB because they have a nice distribution. In some ways I prefer VYB. Since it autostakes the rewards, the coins are building up in the wallets of people who don't attend to their HE accounts.
I am really worried about POB.
POB has been sporadic in paying its reward of late.
My experience is that HE Coins collapse completely when they stop paying rewards.
It appears that POB was trying to transition from ScotBot to SMT Smart Contracts. If it fails to make the transition then POB supporters will find themselves stuck in a pathetic "bag holders club" and not an exclusive "Vladimir Club.”
!WINE
Seems like, we are in both clubs (liquidity holders & stake holders), 😄 at least for now, as we are more focused on building our stake than holding it in liquid.
However, it's an interesting info and analysis!

@vikbuddy(2/10) tipped @holovision
Wow, good to know that I am part of the Vladimir Club.
I am happy to be part of the Club, looking forward to getting more POB very soon.
Thank you very much for the mention, I have always liked the POB token, and I make use of its label when creating content to earn the token and thus place it in staking, because I want to increase the power of my vote with the use of this token, congratulations to all who are part of the club.
I'm thankful for interactions in POB and VYB. I think anything can still happen.
Thanks for the mention, I never knew the club existed. I think it is better to stake mine now. Thanks
This list is not entirely complete, as I understand, you did not take into account those who I am the holder of the FOB, but delegated my powers :)
not on the list, definitely staked more than 2100. where did you get the info? !BBH seems to pay up nicely lately. !ALIVE
@holovision! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @heruvim1978. (1/50)

I got it from the POB token richlist:
https://he.dtools.dev/richlist/POB
My post is three weeks old. I don't remember if your account was one of them but a few accounts were close to the 2,100 line so you might have earned some more in the last three weeks and just recently entered the 2,100 or more POB club. Anyway, congratulations on the stake.
It is alright, just wondering. I have had that since a couple of years ago.
