Firstly, when I joined Hive, I did not know how it works so I ran away from it. I did not even know how it works talkless of compounding.
At some point, I just decided to come back to see how things are. I came back to Hive in February with $4 and I bought some Hive too.
Compounding my interests has made my account get to $70 and I will continue to compound. I believe that that I can become a whale if I continue to compound.
You can become a whale, but it will take a while :)
