There is no doubt that Hive has had a significant impact on the lives of many people who have taken the effort to grow their accounts and build genuine relationships with. People who have devoted time, day and night, building contents, attempting to understand how Hive works, reacting to changes in life development, and also attempting to construct themselves in order to remain creative.
Hive has done more for people than just give them a way to make money. It has inspired many people's ingenuity. It has given those who lack the means to pursue a better life that their particular governments have failed to offer them a way to do so.
I am not an exception to this group of people. In fact, Hive's existence has improved my life more than any other person. The thought that is currently running through my head is, "Where would I be if Hive never existed?" In what circumstance would I be? I am grateful to my creator for connecting me with the person who introduced me to Hive, and I have reflected on this every day since then.
For this reason, I have made it my responsibility to keep building, building up ideas to bring people to Hive, and finding better means of helping those who have found their way to the blockchain and yet do not understand the way the platform works.
I was on Whatsapp with my friend @josediccus today. The dialogue began with an old image he uploaded on his Whatsapp status in which he appeared skinny and hungry. We discussed our current difficulties and how we have been attempting to cope, as well as Hive being the source of revenue that allows us to survive in this harsh situation. And then the thought occurred to me: What if Hive never existed?
I was rescued from a horrible illness two months ago thanks to the money I was able to pull down from my Hive account. In order to feel better, I was able to get surgery. I funded it from Hive because my parents didn't have much money at the time to pay for hospital fees. You may not understand how awful I felt, but at one point I realized that if I didn't have surgery, I might not survive.
A similar thought occurred to me immediately after receiving my surgery: What if Hive never existed? Would my parents be distraught over my death?
These are important questions to ask and stories to tell. Hive has altered our lives and even saved people's lives, such as mine. That is why, when I hear the word Hive, the first thing that comes to mind is Life, because the word Hive now implies to live, or should I say, to live higher.
I learned about Hive in an unusual way. It was a disappointment that hurt me so badly that I cried about it. The story was about me leaving my homeland to study abroad on a scholarship but being denied because my parents couldn't afford the travel costs. I stayed in my own country of Nigeria to school, where I met the person who exposed me to a Higher way of life, I mean Hive. Since then, my life has been transformed simply because I remained committed to the practice of being long-term and willing to learn.
I believe Hive has been there in many more extreme rare cases like mine. I'd want for us to share our stories, as I have of these cases you may have encountered. I don't mean being able to buy clothes, food, or a car, but rather situations where it was needed quickly and Hive came through. Let us showcase to the world that Hive is doing more for the people.
For this, I would like to invite my pals @josediccus and @mcsamm to share their stories on Hive because I believe they have had the same influence as I have. I would also give a delegation of 500HP to three participant in this endeavour. Kindly use the #hive-extreme tag, so I can follow up with articles published.

Indeed hive has been a lot of things to a lot of people. I've never really used any of my earnings for myself but I've used a little for others and I wonder how it would have been if I didn't have Hive, first I won't have gotten the opportunity to know the people I know today and secondly, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to contribute to them in my own little way.
There are so many things hive has done for me aside the earnings and I really do hope to share them with you and everyone.
You have indeed went through so much that if wouldn't have been fun if Hive didn't exist. You are indeed so grateful to the platform because you are doing so well to make it keep growing and I want to really commend you for that.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us sir, I've learned a lot from you 🙏.
Hive is really a whole world of it's own. I never regret any bit of it, and I'm sure you don't as well!
Yes that's right. I don't regret anything, I just keep loving everything ❤️🥰.
Now that you mention it, i don't think I've used my Hive earnings on myself! Ha! But I still feel every bit grateful because like starstrings said, Hive is life.
Yeah, I still take it that even though it was not used personally, I was still the beneficiary because I decided to use it for what I wanted and that's just so cool.
Thank you for your comment dear.
I feel happy to read your story and see how wonderful Hive has done in your life, it's nice to read testimonials like this and know that we are on the best platform that transforms lives 💛, I'm glad you were able to have surgery and that you are much better 👍.
I am really glad I feel a lot better now. Yeah these testimonials encourage newbies to buckle up and put in more energy to be social on Hive.
So in essence God had big plans for you when you didn't leave the country...I know it would have been a much better life and maybe you wouldn't have needed hive in anyway...but indeed it's a lot bigger... if you hadn't stayed and been exposed to hive, a lot of other people wouldn't have found life (hive)..you alone have been able to influence a lot of other people, so much more than you can imagine and it's just a start...God indeed had a bigger purpose for you..
I'm grateful for the opportunity to know hive...life has been a lot different.. even if it's not the most luxurious life it's been very very sustainable and I'm hopeful that I can also be a link to help a lot more people in my reach ...
I'm certainly looking forward to reading people's stories..a lot of lessons to be learnt..and I'll also tell my story too.. thanks for the opportunity...I wasn't surprised when you mentioned @josediccus ..he's always a big inspiration
,😩❤️❤️
Hmm. that's true. I am glad that it was delayed. I am happy that I am able to make a positive influence on the life of others. It is indeed a better plan.
yeah @josediccus is boss and inspiration here. I appreciate this wonderful comment of yours.
That's right sir, you were delayed for a reason and I'm very sure hive was part of it if not the main reason.
Yeah. It’s clear Hive was part of it. I hope to fulfill God’s plans for my life.
Amen, I pray so too ❤️🙏.
My thoughts exactly! If he had left, so many people would have left with him! His destiny on Hive was a chain linked to so many others. Omoh. This is beautiful!
As in ehn, you are very right my dear, this is the lord's doing 🥰.
Exactly, I totally agree with you. If Starstringshad traveled, he would not have met the person that introduced Hive to him and even if he did, the person won't have thought of telling him about it because he might think he didn't need it.
Him being here has helped and inspired a lot of people and I believe it's just God working behind the scenes.
Your story is very touching because indeed there are situations in which I say thanks to Hive like the one I am going through right now, thanks to the few rewards I was able to buy food, soon I will tell my story blessings 💞
Please do share your story! I would love to read. Thanks for your comments.
Hive has been a source of life for a lot of people truly and I am not exempted, I don't know if sharing my testimony here as a comment is okay or if I should just stick to making an article.
I lost a huge amount of my fish business capital and I was down for a while but Hive helped out the little way it can since I am not that big earner yet on the platform.
I am up and running back in business, my fishes will be 3 weeks old since I purchased them and I am certain that the platform will still help me expand my business into what the dream has been from the onset.
These are the pictures when they clocked two weeks at the farm.
wow man! so you are running back up your fish business soon. I am glad Hive came through for you brother. I understand you are not earning much yet from Hive, but keep the consistency and I am sure there are more benefits to gain in the future.
Thanks for sharing man!
Sure, there are great days ahead. I believe things will only get better if we keep pushing hard in life.
That's the spirit bro.
Yes oo, I love that positive vibe.
Amen, I believe too 😊
Yes I remember when you made a post about it, wow, you are doing a lot better than that time and that's really great. I'm so happy everything is getting better for you now.
I'm very sure you will do really well in the future too, this is just the beginning, all the best buddy.
Guyyy! You are doing incredibly well!
Thanks buddy, I hope I can do better.
Sure you will as long as you work towards it 🥰.
I am definitely shooting my shots at every opportunity that comes my way, good morning dear.
That's it Buddy, it's a just a matter of time now 🥰🥰.
Good afternoon Buddy 😊😊.
Hive has done a lot for me already through my earnings so far and it's always at the needed time. I can't thank God enough for making this way of earning for me. A lot of times, we encounter unforeseen challenges and unplanned expenses that needed an urgent attention. I am happy with how hive has filled those vacuums especially when my husband couldn't help the situation . My today experience was one of those days, last week too, hive saved me...infact, expect my post👌👍
I expect it o! Reading Hive Testimonies is like setting my soul on fire.
Hive is really a great place where hardwork and consistency pays, meeting people who have the desire to grow and impact on others.
The first time I joined hive, my goal was to search for other Nigerians in the platform that are doing well and get close to them by studying their post, how often they post, how they form connection with others, and You @starstrings01 , my brother @zestimony and other have been a great source of motivation for me...
My goal still remains the same, make good friends, create a solid connection with other creators and grow as a content creator.
This is a contest right, because I'm burning inside already?
Thanks for being here man. ❤️❤️
Welcome brotherly!
Please, note that @starstrings may not be the same as @starstrings01
Noted, thanks for the correction
We are all burning! Have you made your post yet? And you had quite the goal!
I haven't, but I will (today). Nice to meet you 🤗
That's a very good goal Mike, I'm sure you will surely achieve your goals as long as you connect more and create quality contents.
Yes, and you will too.
Thank you 😊😊🤗
Amen, thank you too Mike 🥰.
You are welcome by the way 🤗.
Thanks for the nice words! Keep pushing hard and I am sure things would work out the way you want.
I’ll totally be doing this, expect my post soon
definitely, I would be expecting it.
Hmm, I'm so waiting for you to do that, hehehe 😁😁.
Hehhehe yours too
Yes oo 😌😌.
Haha I see you got an inspiration from our conversation. Indeed, there would be a lot of story to tell especially when I begin to envisage my life without Hive. Indeed that picture as a throwback reminded me a lot about the person I used to be before this place, it's why I appreciate a lot of people who made me wgo I am here, even if they're no longer around or we don't talk anymore. They're part of me and this is why I'm powered up to help people who are upcoming here and guiding them through. Indeed, I have a story to tell.
@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 35/55) Liquid rewards.
yeah.. You were one of those who helped, and inspired my journey here. So definitely, you are part of me brother.
Seriously bro, that conversation we had, I felt it to my heart brother. I was just imagining a different kind of life I would be living now. Maybe I would be possibly depending on my skill in playing the guitar to fend for myself.
Well you once talked about writing SAT I think you might have continued till you were able to secure a scholarship. As for me, I might still be in the teaching sector and who knows doing micro jobs online and writing for blogs. I think online was my thing and one way or the other I'd be into crypto. Anyways I'll give the full gist in my entry.

Me I like stories.. I can't wait for full gist oh! 😁...
Normally, story dey make sense especially when you know say na better storyteller nai wan put the story, lol.
Hmm, the way you are saying this thing is making body to sweet me, I'm very sure I will have so much to learn from that post, I will Patiently wait for it.
Looool how about if you miss the story? 😄😄😄😄
Hmm, that only means one thing, you did not make the post, hehehe.
Just do me the honor of making the post and leave the rest to me 😁😁.
He made the post o. Did you see his head? 🤣
As in ehn, I won't have known you self, ah! Thank God for his goodness upon our lives.
Yeah, it's so obvious you have so much to tell and I'd really want to hear the few you can say 😊.
You know, I was already writing so much about Hive and how exciting it has been before @starstrings01 published this. While I'm relatively new, I can't agree less in anyway. Hive is giving me guts to do some big things that I never could. Hopefully, I'll write all about it soon. It's nice to have met you both 😁
Yes you are absolutely right, hive is giving so many of us the guts to do things that we won't even try if hive did not exist.
YaH man! Hive is adding to our balls. I would love to read your post too.
You sure say i no go de view your status like this??? Haha! I can't forget that picture no matter what I do... 🤣
Hahaha funny girl 😂😂, please share when you do sha 😁😁.
Definitely. I like exposing
Bad girl, lol 😂😂.
Hehehe. I'm in my house 😏
And you are here too 😂😂.
Thanks for this bro. We certainly have a lot to share.
Hive is an interesting project that just requires two simple things: that's hard-work and commitment, and with this two, you'll reap massive financial gains that is not free money like how everyone thinks about crypto.
Your experiences really inspirited me and I'll definitely hop into this one! Thanks bro!
Exactly, the hard work we put in and the consistency is what can make anyone have a beautiful story on Hive.
Exactly! But honestly eh! It's not easy oh! Nothing good comes easy shall!
As in ehn, it is not easy at all. Let's keep doing our best and hope it is enough.
My sister told me about this, don't know how I missed this post... Even though I don't leave comments sometimes, I always read through your blogs 😁
So expect my own side of the story on this one... Hive is Life indeed!
I wonder how the old picture that @josediccus uploaded looks like, I don't want to reveal what I'm imagining 🥲😅
Hmm, you always read but don't leave a comment, I wonder why? Is it that you did not learn anything or you don't have any contributions to make? Well I think you must have a reason sha 😉.
As in ehn, I just did not want to imagine, you get mind to try imagine am self, lol.
I'm almost always in a hurry when I come across his post or am distracting with something offline... I'll decide to comment later but forget 🙈
I have always been a fine boy, jooor na suffer and hunger him na turn me to that picture wey @starstrings01 see for Whatsapp 😄😄😄😄
😅😅😅😅
Thank God for money (Hive) in your life 🥲
I understand you very well, those days were we have to eat two cup of rice for three days without any protein self, God is great 🙌.
This one choke me, oh yours was two cups? I could count my own rice
Ah!! Wow, your story really need to be read by me and that's what I'm going to do anytime soon.
How can you say you could count your rice, I thought rice was uncountable? That means you were going to buy expensive rice them even when you had little, hmm because if it's all those small cheap rice you can never count it.
His head was big! 🤣
🤣🤣
What is the meaning of this? 😄😄😄
It's nothing...😁
It wasn't 🌑🌑
Okay 😂
I travel to Lagos not long ago, have been in the north for a long time, and am used to the cost of transportation which is far cheaper than here.
Hive has paid my transport fee from zamfara to Lagos, and for those that has been in Lagos the transport fee is on the high side so, it has also helped to transport me from one location to the other.
I have always transferred my hive to my Binance account and invested in some coins that have done well, so hive has been of great help to me
Thanks for sharing your hive story with us! That’s amazing that you were able to pay for your surgery with your hive earnings. I just started on hive about a month ago and I’m still learning how to use it and trying to be more consistent.
You'll get the hang of it. But I can assure you that once you do, you'd be addicted! 🤣
Oh wow, you are welcome @sunbeam3, I love the energy you are starting with, just do well to be persistent and consistent and soon you will have a story to tell.
I read your blog post in which you talked about your illness and surgery. It must have been the worst moments of your life, and I'm grateful that Hive was able to help save your life. I can attest firsthand to the positive impacts that Hive is having on people's lives, and I can serve as an example. I'd like to talk about how Hive has positively impacted my life. My story would be shared as well. We appreciate you sharing your experiences with Hive. Thanks bro
Great! We'll all be reading!!!
I can't wait to read all the amazing stories and yours is not excluded, I'd love to see how you got your life impacted by Hive.
Everytime I see posts like this It brings me joy and a reminder to be grateful for having hive.
Hive has been nothing but a blessing in so many ways
Your story is one great one with hive and likewise so many people has benefitted from it.
Hive is a blessing .
As in ehn! Come o, why can't we make merches? @starstrings01 👀👀❤️ and I might just take up that offer to meet in person @josediccus
Explain yourself ma I dey find koboko.
Indeed hive is a blessing to us, especially to us Nigerians, now tat our currency is seriously losing its value, hmm... I don't want to even imagine my life without hive self.
That skinny and hungry part...🤣... I thought his head was unusually big 🤣🤣. God forgive me. But we see what he has accomplished and you! No way! There's no way I can come across all these and still think to leave this place. Even @belemo is no exception in his Story! All of you are inspirations on Hive! I'll join this...
Hive has being so many things to so many of us and the least we could do is appreciate all that it is because it has really helped so many people.
It has. It's still helping!
Yes dear that's true.
You don tag married man wey dey enjoy him wife for house.

What I do?
Lol 😂😂😂😂. I no exaggerate anything. Oya share the picture let them see 🤣
Nice! Our madam deraa is joining. It would be an Honour!
Madam ke? Abeg o😂
Take your position ma.
Hive is a great platform to learn and earn.
Very correct 👍.
Exactly! You hit the point.
Reading your story about Hive has always been an inspiration to do more. I've once read something similar in the past.
Even though I haven't been here for long, with the little time I've spent here, I achieved a lot. It'd be too early to join the "story-sharing", but I'll still post a write-up about my progress on and off Hive. I've got nothing to lose, yeah?
Posting and reading stories like yours gives hope about what is yet to come, which would be better. It'd make us be proud of our humble beginnings too. I think it's enough as a motivation to push on no matter the situation we find ourselves in.
I'd go on to write my own story too, no matter how meager it might seem. I'm sure it's okay to celebrate our little wins. Kudos to you and thanks for onboarding me on this great platform.
Brother, I have read your post. It was really nice. You started recently but it was a massive impact I must say. Thanks for Sharing.
Much thanks to you too boss 💪
Man, you know I can't thank you enough for introducing me to hive and also re-encouraging me when i lost hope!
I am a musician that hopes to be known not only on hive, but throughout the globe.
To make that possible, I need better gadgets, equipment and so on.
Within months, i was able to buy a powerful device, Redmi note 10+ which worth's 140 plus thousands of naira. as if that wasn't enough, i pressed forth and was able to secure a laptop (HP) close to 150 thousand of naira.
When I had this similar thought of what if hive never existed was the day my baby brother was about graduating from Jss 3- ss1 and my parents were kind of broke at that moment.
He had bills to clear which summed up to 27 thousand of naira.
Immediately I heard about it, I with ease traded Hive for money and I sent it to him.
My mother prayed a deep prayer for me that day and my baby brother too!
I saw the joy in my brother and i knew he will feel so bad and depressed if he hadn't graduated with his folks !
There was a day myself and my friend @olujay were chatting on WhatsApp and he asked me a question that can i do without hive?
I said to him that... No!
with reasons that, it's not only about the money anymore!
Hive has improved my writeup skill, my interaction skills, my camera looking skill, my singing skills and a lots more that I can't even mention.
"THANK GOD HIVE EXISTED AND ALSO THAT MY FRIEND INTRODUCED ME"
Thanks @starstrings01
Bro I also thank you for putting back the energy to taking Hive seriously. I only did all I could do by re-encouraging you when you seem to have lost hope but you played your part really well and strived in hardship brother. I am proud of you!
Thanks a lot man. I'm grateful!
Such a beautiful story bro. Sorry that you couldn't go abroad to study. On the positive side, you found Hive. That brought the abroad to you. :)) Now you can learn and earn together! 😉

Smiles. I don’t feel bad again for not leaving my country. Is just something I know I would do at my will when the time is right. Let me just keep building my skills and also make myself useful.
Awesome. Which country would you like to visit or probably get settled?
I don’t know, I have options: I like Canada and at the same time, I like Barcelona, Spain.
If I was to be given a choice now, it would be Spain. I would have the opportunity to build my Spanish and also get to explore Spanish meals. 😁😁😄
Would find tech job there too.
The blessings hive have given me cannot be underrated. It just like God decided to bless us even with the bad economy here.
@josediccus is also my inspiration. Even when am tired, his post and advises has always kept me going.
I have come to make friends from different parts of the world. It can only be hive.
I know i haven't been long on hive but i have a little things to say.
Thank you for being a motivation too to us the beginners.🙏
smiles. I am glad that my post is a motivation to you. Thank you so much for sharing this comment.
Man I’m glad you’re okay now and that Hive was of tremendous help during your time of need. I haven’t been around here for long, but I see Hive doing a lot for me financially in the coming days and months, and maybe I’ll share too once I start to receive my goodies. Hive has already done so much for me in the aspect of mental health, fun and learning.
Thanks for sharing man. To better days and more good things to share🥂
Better days brother!!! Keep the consistency and you would have more stories to share soon.
Thanks man. I’ll do my best. Have a great day!
I love the way you described hive as "higher life", that's simply the truth. To some it may be no big deal but hive has been more than it really is.
And I'm still thankful I got to discover it through someone. Asides the earnings, I hope to keep exploring and being impacted positively on the Blockchain.
Thanks for sharing this with us sir! 💕
Hive has been my saving grace, the situations where hive came through for me are too numerous to mention.
Thanks for asking this question.
I just thought of something,and its makes me wonder, what if I didn't know hive. ? Thanks for asking this question
Omg 😩 😩 😩 😩 😩 😩 😩 😩
I have a story and also a testimony to share about this...thank goodness that I came around your post to flaunt around and boom this is connected to what happened to me few days ago...you would be so excited reading it because my joy knew no bounds.
I have been speechless for days now for just one reason: I do not know how to put into words the way I have felt in past couple of months. It has been over overwhelming. As much as i can put anything into words, you know me, I do not know how to begin on this subject.
You already know some of the things I have been through lately. But you may now know how heavy they have been in my heart, and this is because from guy to guy, we go just do like everything dey alright.
I initially did not want to join in on this endeavor. I would want to say why yet, but I am now going to go on to share mine. Just know that you are definitely landing in the story.
Reading this great post and a lot of wonderful comment has given me more understanding and it has inspired me alot. Like @starstrings01 said Hive is life. Few testimonies I have but I would definitely share my Hive success story.
Hive has been such a blessing to so many, I included. I can't even imagine life without hive at the moment. Omo, even data money sef was a struggle, !LOL. I'll definitely be participating in this.
!PIZZA
This is quite a lovely aspect of discussion to indulge in. I think I have quite a lot to talk about this even though I have not been that long on this very wonderful and life saving platform. Thanks boss for bringing up such a wonderful writing idea to discus..
So sorry you couldn't travel abroad, but everything happens for reason. What if you did, and didn't get to know about hive, will life still be better, we don't know. I am glad you found hive, your life is going great, and for the surgery, you did, glad it went successful and you are better. I joined hive some month back, I am loving the site already, and trying my best to stay consistent as I can.
We should be grateful for everything. Most time I look at muse and how lucky I am to have encountered with hive. There are people who hive never existed to.
And thank goodness the surgery was a success. How is your health now.
The surgery happened 2 months ago. Been fine since then
That’s great to hear.
Hive has been a source through many found life. A time when I type hive my keyboard corrects me to give, hive has been giving people hope and I give thanks always because of this platform.
Also thanks to the brain box or boxes behind this initiative.
I love the fact that you have given yourself to make sure many find their way on this platform. I have given my story in this light.
I'm just seeing this now. Can I go ahead to write? Though I'm new here.
