I wonder how many people over the course of the last 5 or 6 years owe their financial position directly to this community. There must be many. Some who aren't here now have used what they earned to buy land, houses and cars, get deposits for mortgages, materials to build with - there literally must be tens of thousands of people who have been significantly helped by Hive. hundreds of thousands who have had some help.
I always hope that people don't sell themselves short, but not looking long enough though.
I know so many that cry they took so much out, but, only when Hive pretends it's mooning. :)
