I think you will be far and away ahead of the game by your holding practices. I do understand people make great profits by trading in and out of one crypto or another, but as for me, I am disinclined to trade like that. Being comfortable trading like that would make it much easier I guess lol.
Hive is uniquely suited for people of all locales and stations in life to advance their finances, even with nothing to invest but time. There are many more benefits to Hive than simply monetary. Where else can an average person knock heads with like minded folks from anywhere in the world? It doesn't even matter if one is wealthy and one is not, the like minds keep them on a level playing field, for the most part.
I have rarely traded, especially since the stroke. I don't have what it takes anymore!
I have learned a massive amount since being here about many things and the reflective experience of writing has brought me a lot, and hopefully the audience too. I think that there is a different kind of openness here that might not exist elsewhere.
Yes! That's it exactly!! I was trying to put my finger on what it was about this place that made me feel comfortable talking to complete strangers and you nailed it...it isn't me that feels different here, it's this place...it is open and unjudgemental, after the initial frostiness, that is. It can be a little daunting just starting out.
