Well, I'm really new around here and I guess I can't think about Hive as a way to reach my IRL goals right now because my account is still small, but I think that in the long term it will help with some expenses that I would need to make.
Also, I usually think about Hive as a retirement or an emergency fund. A way to save as much as I can so I can use those funds when needed. Of course I will need to have some liquid Hive and/or HBD so I can use it at the moment.
But yes, I think Ecency and Hive will help us to reach some goals on our lifes.
I didn’t mention it above, but Hive saved my life a few years ago. I just need to get into the practice of taking some Hive out for my own personal use.
Hive saved your life? How come?
It's a long story but I sold a lot of NFTs before the market crashed. I used that money to be able to keep paying rent when there wasn’t a lot of work.
Ohh, that's nice. You were able to get a good opportunity when everything went down.
Yes. But I should have sold them a lot earlier. But they were generating an amazing amount of HIVE at the time and I became arrogant.
Their value dropped a lot before I started to pull out completely.
It's hard to know when is the right time to let go some things, so... Don't think about what you should have done.
I always need to look at personal survival as the main thing, then long term investment.
Activity here on Ecency and Hive is what matters. Reputation matters. Whatever happened to the Ringmaster?
