HA! I didn't read the post but!
I did read the title.
When I began here actually trying to get somewhere. I had dome a search for crypto poker and that led me to Hive.
The ability for a newbie to get anywhere from posting was a joke. Luck played a big part (knowing someone with HP). Not making the 0.02mark to get a reward.
I played poker and got several people top register an account so I could make use of their HP. Those resources are now bundled to Hucksbucks.
Still getting more HP and staking it. I could not get 0.02. As I was adding the HP, the value was dropping as fast.
Changes made to the pay out system dropped me back down for a while again in another HF. Constantly something making things more difficult.
At each point there is a change that negatively impacts growth. I avoided the negativity by jumping straight to. What have I got to work with here now. With the same aim of reaching the same targets.
Looking at the way to move forward. Drowns any negative emotion of the past.
