I wake up today and realize I am left with less than a month to turn one year on hive, does it mean I am not a newbie anymore? I was trying to understand how hive.vote works and how one may potentially harm their account if they use it without caution. Luckily google algorithm brought me to themarkymark's old post where he gave guidelines on how to Audit your authorities. My curious mind scrolled to the comment section as usual and I came across a chat between Littlebee4 and Meriat.ahama.
The conversation led them to share their views on when one is considered a newbie. As expected, you know ladies hate ageing so the exchange was full of giggles that they were both still newbies until they are at least a year old. So in this context, it seems like being a year old was perceived as being an elderly sibling here on hive or pretty much being on your way to fitting in the Hive's ancestral lineage. Littlebee even attested to being just a 6-months old hiver who still had 5-6 months to go before becoming a veteran.
In her view, one remains a newbie until they are at least a year old regardless of their reputation. Maybe she has a point, folks, when does one become an adult here on hive? But if we are to take this age thing literally and say one remains a newbie until they are a year old then it means the two happened to be those kids in the house who learn to be independent quickly. They grew their reputation so fast in just less than a year based on that conversation and both still maintain the growth to 73 a year after.
In the ageing context, the two are the kind of siblings who mature early while some of us take forever to pass the potty training phase after onboarding. I mean if you are like me and haven't mastered consistency on hive then we are probably those siblings who just plan what they are going to dream about before going to bed after listening to a motivational speaker say:"Pursue your dream", would laugh when a couch makes a farting sound, run to stop a microwave pretending we are stopping a bomb from exploding.
We would probably dance and sing along to a washing machine end-of-cycle Melody and are always tempted to imitate the flight attendants when they do a safety briefing before take off. But will still remember nothing from the safety briefing if the Airplane was to make an emergency landing. So if you happen to be my twin whose about a year old on hive and our energies match in lacking consistency, I have a question for you: would you say you're ready to carry all the responsibilities that come with adulting on hive?
Wouldn't you prefer to at least have one more year of potty training and to continue to figure out the system? and master consistency when it comes to showing up every day? I still get a blackout when I want to post on Leofinance the same way I did when given the "solve for X" Maths problems. I am also not ready to lose all the privileges of getting away with using the excuse "I am a newbie" when I mistakenly mess up and unknowingly break community rules. I am not ready to fit in the veteran shoes by just being a year old on hive. There is so much I still do not know about this platform.
I just found out recently how to set up hive vote and ways to buy other tokens. But this again can be influenced by my slowness in adapting to new things. I'm pretty much on the same spectrum as Little Johnny with my Hive growth. My dog still eats most of my content before I post the same way his dog was eating his homework. Can we make it official that one only stops being a newbie after two years? Some of us are not ready to be adulting on hive. I need one more year of potty training and to get my dog to stop eating my content before I post it so I can be consistent and keep showing up.
Thank you for stopping by!
Just get rid of the dog!
What he said!😂
Hahaha 😂, I will consider that if he doesn't stop.
Amusing how your dog keeps eating the contents before they make it on hive😂
This! I am with you on this. I would probably have a grand idea to write about on leofinance the night before but all of a sudden in the morning, the zeal fades. I think I need deliverance😅.
I think people who haven't been so consistent should be given an extra year to bear the tag "newbie" but you humbe dear, you are worthy of the veteran tag:)
Yeah this dog is an enemy of progress, don't you want to adopt it? 😅
Well, we both need deliverance because I have so many ideas for Leofence that just disappeared into thin air too.
Ow, Thank you Wongi! I should start embracing the veteran tag!🌺✨😊
People adopt enemies of progress?😂
Haha😅, I thought maybe it will behave when it's with you. Dogs can choose to be loyal to their preferred owner.
Nahh, I'd still pass on the offer😅
haha! okay, I give up😅
😅 Darn dogs going around eating our contents.
After a few months, I was tagged on a write-up as a newbie and I almost felt insulted because I have been here long enough. When I saw the extra benefits, I let it slide and accepted my newbie struggling phase(according to them I was struggling) I seriously thought I was making progress😢.
I was added to Hive by October but never really got to doing anything until the start of February or so. Will that mean it starts counting from the day I began?
Oh well newbie or not, you do a fantastic job in your posts dear, keeping the destructive dog away is important. Even oldies are on the learning train
Haha 😅, that's a privilege you should grab with both hands. But if you joined in October, you're still a newbie and you are pushing through this year!
If they say you are not doing well, then what do we make of my consistency? I'm probably on the brat list. 😅
Thank you so much for your kind words, Whitney. ✨🌺 I'd better keep to my words and also resume Activefit. 🤔
Yeah! That will be crazy nice, in good time🤞🏽
Nah! I know for sure that when you are ready to be consistent you will get right to it. You just need your mojo💪🏽🤩
The pleasure is always mine dear Humbe.💕
Yeah very soon!✨🌺😀
Your content is just damn too great to let your dog eat them before they made it out alive on the hive.
I think as far as hive is concerned, the learning curve continues.
Thank you so much! I guess I need to learn to discipline my dog.
Indeed, the learning curve continues. Let's keep pushing and adulting! ✨😀🌺
From the first time I saw the picture you used I started laughing and when I got to this👇
I just couldn't help myself.
Me too I am not ready to be an adult here, when we started the dreemport marathon challenge it was freaking hard to admit that I was a coach😁😁 me a coach?? it was crazy.
This was so nice to read, thanks for sharing.
We are not ready right! 😅
But, ibbtammy, at least you are already coaching, which is a form of adulting. Why do I feel like you are also that student who would remind the teacher to give homework?🤔
Thanks for stopping by! 🌺
I know right? but deep down I am still a newbie trust me and in all honesty one's reputation shouldn't be a mark to determine if one is a newbie or oldie.
True, I think a year or so of consistently showing up is a good measure of one's growth on Hive.
And don't worry, we'll speak to the authorities to make it official specially for you. You must become an adult on Hive whether your like it or not. Lol
Nooo jhymi! Please I want one more year to enjoy my hive childhood😂
Tell your dog to stop eating your post before you post, so that you fit in the veteran world on hive so fast, a newbie forever is not good too, join me right now, because I am jumping to that place of becoming a veteran. Lol 🤣
I think a year too is enough to be consider as a veteran on Hive, once the person is able to master the way Hive blockchain rules are, continue to do the needful and do not break those rules.
Maybe you are right; I will join you and tag along on a veterian Journey. 😅
I can keep up with the rules and basics of posting. But consistency is still a big fail. I still need to master showing up at least every other day.😀
You are welcome onboard dear friend, lol
Our matching continue first thing in the morning 🤣
Awesome! Let's keep pushing. I will be taking a register of those who show up starting from tomorrow. 😅
It will surprise you that me that propped the idea will not even be there, but I'll be watching from a corner 🤣
😅 I see, I had thought it was gonna be team work.
Thank goodness I'm still a newbie and will continue to enjoy my "newbieness". Lol.
Congratulations to your adulting life on Hive.
I enjoyed reading your blog.
Lucky you! Enjoy your newbie days while they last. You're actually doing great ✨ 😀
