Helo hivers,this is an amazing contest from @ambarvegas,and I would love to encourage everyone out here to participate because this will really go a long way in promoting hive to other people who know little or nothing about hive,so here it's my journey so far.
I am going to try to explain this in the best possible way I can. For me hive is a decentralized platform, decentralized in the sense that it is not owned by a particular person and I think it's best this way so that people don't just wake up one day to realize that all their investments here on hive are actually gone or their activities here being restricted. Hive allows you to pass information to other users through your post and it also allow you to get information when you read other people's post.
Hive helps you build relationships with people that you may not have seen before,hive is made up of various people from different parts of the world,so it helps you to connect to as many users as you can.
You can also get to learn a skill through hive as some talented users also get to share some steps or tutorial videos on how they were able to get a particular thing done.
Wow,for me this was easy, because I was already on the steem blockchain and I knew about the hardfork which birthed hive so it was easy for me to flow along in the platform as I already had friends who connected too from steemit and immediately I started working towards making it here on hive because one thing that was sure from the beginning was that I had always believed in hive.
I wouldn't really say I had doubts about hive because I really believed in hive from the beginning,I got quite active but not until activities here started improving alot which made lots of people that didn't think anything good will come out of hive onboarded again and became active so life became harder for me on hive which discouraged me.
Well like I said earlier before,my beginning here on hive was quite beautiful,there was no much struggle then compared to now,but nevertheless I am grateful for the new friends I have met here,am grateful for things I have alot learnt from other users and most especially for the challenges some amazing authors put up to help discover ones inner abilities that ordinarily one wouldn't have been able to achieve, I am still very optimistic about the hive blockchain and I sincerely hope for the best
I am inviting @sistem @jeaniepearl @kristenantai to participate in this contest.
Thanks so much @ambarvegas for this opportunity to share.
