How I Discovered Hive And How I Have Come to Love It

in HiveGhanalast year (edited)

One of the best things that has ever happened to me was getting onboard with the hive Blockchain and giving it my best. Reflecting on how my onboarding journey happened left a smile on my face. I didn't discover hive on my own; it was my cousin's brother, @kenechukwu97, who brought this golden opportunity to my attention, but at first, I didn't show much interest. I went through the link he sent me for registration, and the whole thing looked strange to me. I was in doubt about the blockchain, and so all the screenshots my cousin asked me to send for him during my registration for a proper guide, I never did. I felt so reluctant for about 5 months, and my other excuse was that I wasn't a writer and so the platform wasn't meant for my type.

I went ahead and shared the opportunity with one of my best friends, @amiableamara, who loves to write at all times. She is a good writer and so creative. I told her that there is an opportunity for her and that she has to be in my house for a proper guide when my cousin's brother visits my home. You needed to see how I was making plans for her to come and learn about hive, excluding myself. Sincerely, it wasn't part of my plans to join hive at all; I just wanted her to learn from my cousin and start writing in hive as she used to do on other social media platforms. Until the D-day, during Amiableamara's registration at my house when my cousin visited, she asked me if I wouldn't register as well, but my answer was no, I am not interested. She tried her best to get me registered. My cousin brother went ahead in convincing me by telling me that I must not write if writing is the issue and that I can only be engaging and get little upvotes as well or concentrate on sharing my motherhood experience. Sincerely, this statement was what made me say yes to Hive.

My INITIAL REACTION

At first, I doubted so much about the earning aspect. I wasn't familiar with all these digital platforms through which one could earn money then. I saw all of them as ponzi schemes, and that's why I never paid much attention. Knowing hive and seeing how my cousin was footing his bills didn't change my mentality either. At the beginning, I thought the platform was illegal, and I was skeptical about continuing. I was like, Who is the person in charge of the reward? and How does the platform generate money to pay writers? A lot of thoughts were running through my mind, and even when my cousin kept explaining that it is decentralized, I never understood what he meant. What a journey!

My CURRENT EXPERIENCE WITH HIVE

WOW, I am already addicted to the goodness of hive. My husband can attest to it. All my doubts and fears are now in the past. Hive is like my second home now; I can't go a day without showing up here. Hive has made me a better reader than before, and through reading, I am becoming a better writer. Writing is something I never imagined in my life, but looking at the number of posts I have published, I feel excited about how hive has kept grooming my life for good. So far, Hive has brought lots of friends my way, friends from different parts of the world. Amazing friends who kept impacting my life positively for good Whenever I think of how much hive has shaped my life, I express my gratitude to my onboarder. He is amazing. I have been doing well to invite others too in order for them to experience the goodness of hive as well.

My Journey So Far

It's been an awesome journey so far. My commitment and my eagerness to know more about hive added to my growth in the hive ecosystem. The challenges I had initially became a thing of the past when I joined the newbies program and got quality training on what hive is all about. I had more knowledge about hive, and it made a great difference in my hive journey.

To my present day in hive, I am happier, and I support my family greatly through my earnings in hive.The earning aspect has eased a lot of financial pressure in my family. I never knew it would be possible for me, as a stay-at-home mom, to earn comfortably from my home through writing and also learn new things through the contents I consume on the Blockchain. Knowing Hive has always given me revelations about crypto, and it's been an amazing journey so far without any regrets.

Long live hive!
