While reading your lines I saw myself reflected in part of them, HIVE has helped me a lot financially since I arrived 4 years ago, the current economy of my country is anything but good, but for some time I have felt the need to look for something more to get some money to start with something else, in addition to my current job and as you say not to leave all my eggs in one basket, because if HIVE disappeared from one moment to the other I would be like a baseball player in the middle of two bases (caught).
So I'm working on it, analyzing and looking for the best cards to take the first steps.
It's great to hear you're working on it and I see it as a responsible thing to do...I know things can be difficult for some in other countries and in truth things are difficult here too, Australia is a very costly country in which to live, and that makes it more important that a person diversifies, seeks multiple solutions and not rely on Hive income for instance, something that can all cease to be in a moment.
Well done for thinking differently and I wish you all the best with it.
