I've been very keen with having cryptocurrency solve realtime humanity problems. When this happens, many people would have a shift in their thinking of crypto as a "ponzi or scam" to see it as a technological revolution in finance. I starting owning cryptocurrencies in 2018 March and that was STEEM and since then, I've been consiously looking out for ways to integrate crypto in my business.
With my crypto earnings in STEEM, HIVE and Hive tokens, I've paid my bills and executed several awesome projects in addition to charity. I've also introduce some persons to Hive who have made a full time living from their earnings.
Earlier today, while looking up my curation earnings in my LEO Curation account on Hivestats, I discovered how much value have been generated on weekly and monthly basis. While my thinking, I discovered that the curation rewards accrued from my 25k LEO stake yields revenue more than minimum wage in Nigeria.
The intent of this post is not to playdown on the value of my native currency, rather to show how much value cryptocurrency is giving to life. I'm also using this medium to publish my #success-stories to help inspire unemployed persons out there that they can start a financial life on a blockchain like Hive.
In 2019, the Nigerian government increased the minimum wage to her civil servants from an initial NGN 18,000 to NGN30,000. The new amount is equivalent to 77 USD. Sad that this amount is far less than the average cost of living for an individual in the country, yet, family owners are earning that meager amounts.
The national minimum wage for federal workers in Nigeria reached 30 thousand Nigerian Naira in 2020, which equaled to about 77 U.S. dollars. On average, the monthly cost of living for an individual in Nigeria amounted to 43.2 thousand Naira, whereas this figure added up to 137.6 thousand Naira for a family. In 2019, the minimum wage of 30 thousand Naira became law. - Simona Varrella, Sep 4, 2020 source
At present, USD 1 is equivalent to NGN 386.25. The exchange rate in the black market is far lesser such that USD 1 is exchanged for NGN 455 or more. Each year passing, the Naira continues to lose value against the giant USD. Thus, earning in USD becomes more viable for living in a country like Nigeria.
Looking back at my LEO curation rewards which add up to $77.7 USD over the last 30 days, it follows that just reading and "liking" posts on LeoFinance.io would earn me much more than a Nigerian civil servant on minimum wage. Not just does this happen in Nigeria, this friend @coyotelation had shared his side of the story in Brazil just few weeks ago.
With this, I can say that curation in Hive blockchain isn't just for fun, it is an employment. For those who are much interested with the content, it's an employment with upgrade in knowledge.
This value given by LEO curation is at its minimum at the now. This is because we expect to see LEO rise to $1, that is about 5 times its present value. That means that should I not increase/reduce my stake, I'll be earning as much as a Grade Level 8 Civil servant for just curating contents in the @LeoFinance community.
Interestingly, I've been done with university education for the past 9 years, yet, no civil job. Thanks to LeoFinance and Hive for giving out this value to humanity. Meanwhile, it is interesting to also know that 25k LEO is presently valued at around $5,000 USD and all of that was earned through creating content in the leofinance community over a few months ago.
I'll keep sharing my success story till it inspires every single person out there that this message is meant for. Cryptocurrency is here to change the narrative about wealth creation. There is a possibility for the unemployed to go rich and afford the basic amenities of live by just engaging the community with their knowledge and thoughts.

What is great this talks about your surpassing minimum wage with curation, it doesnt even mention your posting of blogs or comments. That is really paying off too.
The key is to get involved and make a name for yourself. There are many willing to help. Too bad most are not willing to get involved.
This is the true Killer DApp, helping people to feed and clothe their famiilies.

I am sure of that. We already look so much different from a year ago...hell from 3 months ago.
With so much development, we can count on continual forward progress. A well rounded approach will pay off in a big way.

Great testimony of success in LeoFinance! This is awesome and very interesting. A great reason to make and curate content on LeoFinance.

I completely agree with you on that because of linear curation curve i curate a lot post that I like and enjoy reading Leo finance has truly changed the way hive platform is used

Thanks for the comment. I've discovered that curation is the very rewarding on Hive especially for a community as LEO that is growing and allows for linear curation curve.

Keep going buddy! I want to see you earn the yearly Nigerian minimum income in one week. Make the best out of the circumstances around you. Invest wisely and don't complain, just follow your road.

Give the platform a bit of time. We will see nice token price appreciation as a result of the development. Of course, the markets might pick up on things sooner.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course! I stake now everything on my sons and my account. I grow it for him, as he is only two. He received at birth 1 BTC and some blockchain accounts with a decent stake. I will grow them till he is mature enough to take the lead. So it is a long run for him and me. :)

That is awesome. I bought some crypto for my daughter on one of her birthdays.
It is really a new experience.
You son might be one of the youngest people in crypto. LOL

Awesome. I just learnt something great here. Thanks to the DEFI pools now that one can make a one time deposit and wait for some decent revenue to be generated in the future.
I need to have a crypto account for my mum. I hope she'll find the fun here to stay longer.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very true. THinking long-term is very crucial when it comes to crypto. I have many friends who laughed me to scorn when Steem/Hive dipped to nothing, yet, I kept being active. I'm still looking at 5- 10 years into the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
At some point, I'll reject working for the government even if they offer a job. I hope $LEO and HIVE grows further so I can begin to save up for retirement.
I discovered and that is the reason I share my success stories to inspire others. My blog is full of this similar for several indices of earning here.

Great post mate. This is why I got into Crypto in the first place because it was a way to empower people from poorer nations and give them a chance to get above the 'poverty line'. Excellent to see you have come so far and best wishes as always big fella :-)

Thanks. Indeed, as Tasmaster4450le often say, the emergence of crypto would close the gulf between the rich and the poor as everyone has the opportunity to create wealth.

I will repeat myself again, but that's what I call mass adoption for crypto. Putting a bread on the table and the fishing net in their pockets. I have myself quite often paid bills with blogging money. Can't wait for that 10 dollars LEO and HIVE...

Yeah, much more has been achieved. This was just a tale of my LEO curation earnings. I've seen people pay their house rents and school fee with STEEM/HIVE earnings.

Awesome 😎 Its been inspiring to how this platform can change people’s financial lives!

I'm that very example. Joining STEEM as a content creator then was the best investment decision I ever took. With HIVE, things get clearer and more futuristic. I hope my success story inspires someone out there.

Yes truly amazing and now are the second layer tokens like sports are doing the same by following linear curve
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very true, we are still in the beginning of the journey. Soon, LEO would be worth $1 and SPORTS would be worth $0.01. Maybe I would resign every work and be a full-time content curator.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is absolutely amazing! You are doing very well & it's only the beginning... :)
Ever since I joined the blockchain (Steem back then), my belief in the future of cryptocurrency has grown exponentially. It is becoming the present as well. Reading stories like this gives me hope & as an avid curator & creator, I know I will reach my goals of being able to pay bills, etc as well....
This has been changing so many lives & once others have the right mindset & show up every day to make this happen, $LEO and other cryptocurrencies will continue to grow...
Sending tons of pixie dust & positive vibes your way! :) 🧡
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you. One other aspect of earnings on this chain which can't be quantified is the knowledge. I knew virtually nothing about Blockchain, crypto and even website coding. I've learnt a lot in these three aspect over the last three years.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Omg, you are not kidding. I had no clue about crypto either when I first came to Steem. I was active part time in stock trading so that piqued my curiosity as well as the people I was with...
The knowledge is one of the best aspects. Like you, I have grown on so many levels that I never would have if I hadn't come to the blockchain. It's definitely a life changer. :)🧡
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You are really an inspiring "usecase" for LEO authors/curators. The fact that you live in Nigeria makes it really worthwhile your time. But despite that, your 25k LEO are massively impressive. I have been able to get 9k mostly from hodling my original airdrop and occasionally write something on LEO. You have been grinding hard. Congratulations, you have earned it!
I am also fascinated by the numbers, as I am a numbers guy: $77 minimum wage and you earn $77.7 per month from curation. I earn $7.77 per hour after taxes in Germany. What must sound much for someone from Nigeria, is minimum wage over here and too little to rent an apartment if you live by yourself (because land-lords require 3x of the rent income per month and getting such a cheap rent is nearly impossible). Ironically, I have many Nigerian colleagues at work who all came over to Germany in the past years to have a better life here and now realize it is the same grind for them as in Nigeria, just with higher numbers. I assume many are sending at least some money to their family in Nigeria to support them, as it means much more in your country.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hearing words as this only inspires me to share more of my success stories. I have a lot of them. I have too experience failures but each time I'm glad that these successes which take a simple form outweighs the fails.
Looking at your reputation, one can tell that you're already a great content creator. The numbers grew with value.
$7.77 per hour is amazing. That means working for 8 hours daily in Germany would afford you to employ one person in Nigeria for a month with minimum wage.
You are very right. Most of them won't even want to come home again. They would prefer to send help to their family members.
Your comment is full of encouragements. Thank you. I'll only work harder.

Equally, I have a good tale to tell about the Hive blockchain in general and I will be sharing it soon as well. I will always prefer the business of cryptocurrency over a low-paying government job because the former is way more profitable should one be diligent and committed.

@uyobong Nice one, I might try doing it for myself
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hi @uyobong! I used to know you on steemit. That platform would have done a lot more if not for the sudden crash that happened then. I'm one of the beneficiaries of steemit then, although I didn't know about it early I was able to make over $1,500 then within 2 months or 3. Out of curiosity this morning, I came across @LeoFinance and I was quick to register having read a few reviews about the platform.
I will just go ahead to write my first post hoping something good could come out of it. However, is there any general or Nigerian community for Leo? I would like to join. I'm already on their discord tho.
Looking up to you dear!
