It is my absolute pleasure mate... Literally!
I wish my life allowed me to be around every single weekend but alas it is not meant to be for the moment. However when I look at my past 10 posts, 9 of them were posted in the weekend community, usually answering to the blog prompt, it is literally the first thing I hit when I have a little time.
You know as I have told you before, so I'm uhh gonna get boring and say it again. WE was the first place I found the engagement and connection I was craving and at that time something clicked about the whole concept of community.
To use an Aussie expression, I was stoked to cross paths with you my friend, to this day I still think you are bonza ((too much again, right?)).
I have some go from being ever-presents in the areas they once cherished to not even casting a sideways glance down the line when they started to make a name on their own merit and no longer needed the 'crutch'.
I however, will be eternally grateful (okaaay, maybe that was a lil too much even for me) for the little corner of the blockchain you built as a refuge for the unloved, un-noticed and under-appreciated and will not be forgetting that anytime soon.
There's one guy I forgot to mention although I meant to when I set out to write for this weeks prompt, I know I went on far, far too long BTW, what else is bloody new, huh?
There's a certain blockchain based dude named @tarazkp I'm fairly certain you have encountered him G 😁 His constant, unfailing support has meant that those who are new to Hive have seen a little growth and reward at the most crucial time for longevity and 'stick-ability' (OK, I couldn't come up with a better word, I've just done two 12 hour dayshifts ya know!) Lest to say, it is massively appreciated.
Here's to the future, long may it continue, and if it doesn't, that's pretty cool too, nobody can ever say you didn't do your part for the little guy, the newbie and the lost.
I feel it's the responsibility of those of us that have been around for a while to help those who have not find their feet, although it's up to the individual to do the work of course. There are no free rides here.
What I do brings some satisfaction although sometimes I'm disappointed by people's reactions, lack of ownership and action but I have to remind myself that it's those types of people that will get nowhere that it's best to focus on those people who want to take the responsibility to grow and develop their accounts.
Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it. I wish you could be around more often but your life prevents it so just do as you can and that'll be enough.
