What does HIVE means to you?

When I saw my best pal on hive (davidke20) post shareing his thought on crypto and hive, it invigorated me to share my POV on the hive to you guys either.

It might not really appropriate to compose my post here, but here is my most familiar community and I know more people here when compared to the others community, that’s why I ended up decide to post here anyway.

Maybe it’s a weird to asking such question to the people whom might already got year or even more experience here instead of asking the newbie, but the fact is that some people really have no fucking idea what the real HIVE is even though they have been here for years!!!

OK, if you are the people who really enjoy to explore on the web 3 and cryptocurreny, you don’t really have to waste time to read my post as I believe that you already knew the following that I wanna say, frankly speaking, maybe you know even better than mine, but if you still willing to read my bullshit, appreciated your time.

If you willing to leave comment to this post, I am satisfied to seeing I catch the other’s attention and probably I can meet new friends from the other side of the world. I am delighted to seeing people give me an up-vote on this post no matter how small or big the value is, it’s kinda endorsement to me and support my work.

Let me re-cap what is Hive here:

“Hive is an innovative and forward-looking decentralized blockchain and ecosystem, designed to scale with widespread adoption of the currency and platforms in mind. By combining the lightning-fast processing times and fee-less transactions, Hive is positioned to become one of the leading Web3 blockchains used by people around the world.”

Feel free to check the official introduction on https://hive.io/about to understand what HIVE really means!! You are living in the place where is not allowed to access such web site and you don't have VPN? No worry, here is the screen capture of the official introduction of the HIVE.

If you want to say you can’t read English, you better skip for my post, it’s your problem, not mine. Nobody born to know everything including different languages in the world (there are more than 200+ languages / dialects) , if you don’t know the languages other than your mother tongue, go fucking learn it. You can get zillion of English learning materials on the internet for free, all you have to do is putting time and effort on it then you can master the new language one day. No fucking excuse ok?

Oops, sounds I am going too far, oh yes, when talking about writing blog on here HIVE, I believe 99% of people on HIVE won’t feel strange to the hive.blog where we can write blog to record our life meanwhile having some potential earning.

There’s no doubt that hive.blog is recognized as the core of ecosystem on HIVE however it’s not everything for sure, unfortunately many people think hive blog is equal to the whole ecosystem of the HIVE and even worse, some of the people everyday just think about how to fish for the big upvote from the big whale then simply withdraw and sell for USDT end up cash out for the fiat.

Go hive.io and check ecosystem on HIVE then you will notice there are 50+ DApps on the hive ecosystem, can't deny that social is the most popular type but please don’t fucking ignore the other type of the DApps such as the NFT, Defi, Games, sport, etc.

There are many ways you can contribute to HIVE, if you know coding, you can be a developer / block producer, if you have strong people connection network, you can do marketing to promote HVIE and try to let more and more people get involved.

Well, if you are the computer illiterate like me, no worry, you can still put effort to write blog and trying to invite people around you to join the platform even though they might not able to bring a large amount of cash to buy hive and power it up to support the others. You are still helping to spread the HIVE brand, you are contributing for sure.

No need to hypocritical, every blogger on HIVE wants up-vote, especially the super big one. There’s nothing to blame on this thought as long as you are not abusing the system, for example, plagiarizing!!!!

The question is that are you simply write and try to fish for up vote then finally sell for fiat? Or you are willing to retain certain percentage of the earning from every single post you made, powering it up to your HP trying to help to the newbie to start up their journey on HIVE? If you never have intention to power up HP from your earning, sorry, I would say you have no contribution to the whole HIVE ecosystem !!!

Stop saying that you don't know how to do so, like I said above, nobody born to know every shit, go FUCKING learn it if you don't know, it's simple and not time consuming. Stop pretending stupid or innocent when facing a new stuff that you don't know, it's distuging to keep hearing people who have been here for few years and still try to say that he or she doesn't know how to power up the HP and claim they are "NEWBIE".

You know how to withdraw your HIVE to crypto exchange selling for Fiat but don't know how to power up? OH yeah fuck you, this workflow is way complicated than simply click a "power up" button on hive DApps or web, OK?

It’s not difficult to see the consequence that if everyone including the big whale just keep selling the HIVE token that they earned from blogging, HIVE will turn into shit TOKEN for sure as there’s nobody willing to buy and hold for years, no real HIVE lovers would love to see such result, agree?

I have been here HIVE for 3 years and I never power down in the past 3 years, recently I started to power down most of my HIVE POWER, don’t take me wrong, I am not going to quit from HIVE but it’s time for me to fine-tune my portfolio after staking all my Hive Token for 3 years.

Lately I am not able to update blog daily as I used to because there's another people just left our company today, I need to take care much more shit from works now.

I have no choice but try to sell some HIVE for HBD when it's higher or before it goes down while I notice there's a downtrend coming, then buy it back at lower. That’s the quickest way to boost your HIVE, and I take it as the compensation for not able to update my post as often as I usually did.

And of course, it’s not harm to sell some Hive to fait for life as reward for my 3 years work on Hive. Say, spend 30 bucks for a nice dinner (look at the tenderloin steak and lobster, fabulous!!!!!) after you had been struggling for nearly 12 hours with your shitty work everyday!!!!!

I know some people would like to keep most of their HBD in the saving account for 20% APY, I know it’s comparatively attractive than you just keep your money in the bank, it’s impossible to have such high APY if you just keep your money in the bank for sure.

Howerver personally don’t really fancy on that, reason is simple, like what Davidke20 said on his post, if everyone swap all their HIVE for HBD then keep it in the saving account, who’s gonna to stake the HIVE and give support to different community on HIVE or the individual on their post?

Most importantly, it’s going to take 3 days to unlock your HBD from saving and you probably missing the chance to buy HIVE at good price, you gotta know that cryptocurrent is highly volatile stuff, if you able to grab the chance to buy at low then sell at high, you might have a significant gain in short time, which is way higher than 20% !!!!

One last thing, since I never trust any crypto exchange, I hate to keep too much asset in the other’s hands, not your key, not your money. I really love to store my HIVE token or HBD on my hive wallet, at least I have got the key and my asset is safer than keeping in the exchange.

After reading such long bullshit on my post, now you know what HIVE is now? Blog and social is part of the HIVE but absolutely not the ALL, they also got variants DApps, and it can be a financial tools (Defi) maybe a video, sport, and wallet. So please misinterpret the initial purpose of the HIVE, it’s all-rounded decentrailsed blockchain ecosystem, not just a tool for people blog and fish for the “money”.
