Hive can be seen as several things depending on who you are.
The way you regard this platform affects how much you use it, how much effort you put into it, how often you promote it, the amount of contributions you give and how much you invest in it.
I’ve seen Hive viewed as a hobby, a career and as an obligation by several members and have observed the way they interact here due to their perspective.
Is there a right or wrong way to value Hive?
In my opinion there’s not. Everyone has their own individual needs, motivations and purposes for using Hive. The important thing is that you’re here interacting, engaging and enjoying the time you do spend here. To each their own intent.
Have you ever thought about how you esteem Hive?
I thought it would be interesting to see how you deem Hive. Did it start off one way for you and then changed as time went on? Did you reconsider your thoughts about it after a certain experience you had here? As you became more familiar with the platform maybe you found it to be more or less than your initial interpretation?
I’m going to list each outlook I’ve mentioned above along with a description according to how I’ve observed it’s position within the chain.
Note: Everyone’s behaviors, habits and desires of each category will vary. I’m not stating that all Hivizens are the same way. I am basing this information from what I’ve observed over the years.
ᕼOᗷᗷY
This first view is what brought me here to Hive. When my brother introduced me to the concept of blogging and crypto I was immediately hooked. I thought it would be a fun pastime to explore during my free time.
Many people I’ve met along the way enjoy Hive as a hobby. They may not see a need to log in everyday but only when they have the extra time.
So please don’t get offended if you receive no response to your comment or question for days and even weeks.
They also may not have a set schedule of when they post but rather do so when in the mood or when they feel they have something that's worth sharing.
Something else I’ve observed from Hive hobbyists is that they may not put as much care or emphasis on trying to build relationships here as they are not around on a regular basis. They don’t feel as obliged to engage or interact. This is why after posting they’ll seldom or rarely respond to comments because they don’t return until it’s time to publish again.
Hive is not at the top of the priority list in this outlook as there are other affairs that take precedence. However, this doesn’t mean that the quality and posting effort is tainted. Even in the limited time hobbyist have they still want to showcase their skills and creativity in an effective way.
Remember I said the concept of blogging and crypto got me hooked. Having fun while earning crypto is a big factor in why effort is still the aim.
ᑕᗩᖇEEᖇ
For some Hive may have started out as a hobby but eventually led to a career.
I remember in the first two years seeing many do so well that they started blogging here full time. A few even posted about leaving their jobs to make this a career. I’ve always thought that was a huge and risky step due to the nature of crypto and the fluctuating markets, but despite some have been able to make it their reality.
Those who have made blogging their career will naturally take this journey more seriously than others. Since posting or curating has become their way of making a living they always give the best they’ve got when posting and interacting. Making connections and building relationships is of necessity for a Hive careerist.
If you’ve been here long enough you already realize that having support is key to being successful here. Those who follow you, upvote your publications, comment on your work, help promote your work and support your efforts in other ways are vital.
Have you ever said or felt that someone takes Hive too seriously? You are probably a hobbyist referring to a careerist. 😄
Just like with any job or career your goal is to govern yourself professionally and give your best. The same goes here on Hive. You’ll see people put forth their best efforts and display quality all around.
I think the ultimate dream is being able to have fun doing what you love while making a living.
One I spoke to recently about this said
I can imagine doing this for a long time than working in the industry. I enjoy doing what I've been doing so it's not too much of a burden for me. I do get burn out too, but it can be fixed with a few days of vacation. Good thing I won't get broke in doing so. So it's still much better than being in the toxic corporate world.
He is an asset in the OCD Community and was able to leave the industry and work full time here. I think it’s quite amazing when one can enjoy the work they do everyday.
Hive may not necessarily be a full time career for some but more like a side gig. Times are rough for a lot of people right now so having this outlet helps make ends meet and provides some extra pocket cushioning.
I am blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom. I can’t even imagine going back into the workforce at this point. Hiving enables me to help my family with certain financial needs. This is one of the reasons I take my time here seriously and have worked hard to bring forth efforts in all I do.
OᗷᒪIGᗩTIOᑎ
Are you wondering why I included obligation as a Hive regard?
My Hive journey started out as a hobby which led to an obligation. I had no idea how long I would be doing this or how successful it would be. I seen a need and jumped on the opportunity to create it. I’m speaking of the NeedleWorkMonday Community.
It started out as a tag I created to bring all needle enthusiasts together to share and have fun. I had NO IDEA it would turn into an actual community and grow so much from there. Seeing the love, support and all the effort that has been given to this initiative, I feel a strong commitment to be here making sure it’s nurtured.
This is a social platform, but real lives are being changed because of the opportunities made available here. Having this sense of belonging and being amongst like minded people who get and understand you is incredibly encouraging and uplifting.
I have witnessed too many amazing blessings to abandon the people that count on these interactions. This space is a stress reliever for many and knowing I play a part in helping create that, gives me a sense of responsibility I must hold to.
Devs, witnesses, community leaders, curators, contributors, investors and many others may feel an obligation that keeps us sticking around. Knowing you play a major role in Hive’s success motivates you to keep putting forth efforts, especially when others count on it.
The path of a Hive obligationist may have started differently but eventually led to some form of accountability. Anyone who has a duty here may fall into this category of how they value Hive.
Do you see yourself in any of these outlooks?
Maybe like me you find yourself in more than one.
I find it fun and interesting reflecting on how I view things and considering how I end up in the places that I do. It’s nice knowing how and why I value Hive. I am fully aware of the reasons I remain here and put so much time and work into what I do.
Hive is like the autobahn, but has a million more lanes. The cars on it can go light speed without crashing. But currently only a few lanes are open, the rest are under construction. Give it a few years, and Hive can be anything you want it to be.
And the cool thing about the autobahn system is, You can use ordinary highways or federal highways at first (so, being a hobbyist) and then, if you truly want to have a career in crypto/Hive, you use the autobahn and you use it often. You know all the gas stations, every exit, speed limits and speed traps. You will feel at home and can navigate the space with ease.
I would say, even more so than being just a hobbyist, what PeakD is trying to accomplish in terms of easy onboarding, fits very well into the ordinary highway analogy. They can onboard via an email, FB, twitter, etc. and just use the main features. Then, once comfortable, hop on the autobahn and use their keys to access more in depth features.
Great add on to my original analogy. Maybe @peakd could use it to summarize the difference between using private keys (autobahn) and easy onboarding/being a "hobbyist", (ordinary highway).
Thanks for your insight :)
Love this response! Pretty cool analogy you gave and I agree :)
Thanks for commenting ~
Glad you got it, and thanks.
For sure ;)
Can hive be steem?
We need a hiveit and hiveitinc to repeat history but with peoppe less lame than @ned
@ned failed dan... @dan was just Scotty or the doctor and ned was supposed to be captain so dan could spend his time building better ship systems
But ned became a lil faggot and he never married the Chinese spy sweetsssj like he was supposed to
Posted using Dapplr
Techincally, yes. If someone were to hold enough SP and take over the witness spots again.
BUT! There is nothing stopping the communities from forking again, just like they did from steem to Hive. So as possible as it is, I say it highly unlikely.
I don't necessarily think so. We aren't big enough yet to have that compounding success rate within communities. But we are slowly getting there. There is a lot more development to be made as well in the future. Dan and Ned and the ninja mine was so antithetical to decentralization, I don't know why we would want something like that again. I know I don't.
Hive is pounding the pavement needed to be a success. As they say, "Rome wasn't built in a day." & I'm content waiting for now.
Brick by brick :o). I have to say, reading all that history and the ins and outs of the space, it is very exciting. I can see the Colosseum already. 😀
I really liked your writing and the photos you used to illustrate it.
I think the division you make of the hivers is very accurate. I started with an explorer's mentality to see what I could find here, without much conviction, I had no idea if I would stay or not. Step by step I loved the environment, I got many valuable people with whom to share opinions and common interests, that has been a great point in favor of HIVE, its people.
One thing I liked from the beginning was meeting real people from different parts of the world. Sometimes the language barrier makes communication difficult, but thanks to the translators we can understand many of the ideas that we want to express.
Today HIVE brings me many benefits, it allows me to generate most of my income, it also keeps me entertained and my mind active. But beyond that, which may be common to many people, Hive also allows me to connect more with my family.
Due to different problems in my country many young people have decided to emigrate, among them my children and granddaughters. Since I am in HIVE I take advantage of my publications to let them know many stories that I have in my memory, family anecdotes that I use to create small fictional texts.
I always think that when my granddaughters grow up they will read these stories that I publish in HIVE, so that they can learn a little more about that family and that country that they had to leave behind.
HIVE has a place for everything, we all have a place here.
Be well. Blessings. A big hug from Maracay.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my writing and photos. ☺️
I like communicating and sharing with people from all over the world as well.
I can definitely resonate with Hive keeping you entertained and mind active. Hive has helped me realize how much I love writing and organizing. It also keeps my brain fit by bringing out creative ideas I never knew I was capable of putting together.
That was so touching reading about your posts and how you include things for your family to enjoy and how you share your memories. I am so sorry to hear that they had to emigrate and you are away from them. I hope one day your granddaughters will be able to read all of your stories.
Thank you so much for sharing so much in this comment. I got a little emotional reading it just thinking about being away from family.
I agree that there is something here for everyone and we all belong. 😊
Many blessings to you, take care ~
I'm glad you liked it.
It has always seemed to me that HIVE is the ideal place to leave a record of our passage through the world. I am encouraged to think that what we write here will remain forever on the blockchain. Blessings.
Another awesome post! Love reading through your well written and designed work.
To me... Hive is a passion and my second family.
It’s something that I hope one day will turn into my full-time business. I hope to be able to provide careers for my family and friends. High hopes I know, but I don’t consider that impossible down the stretch.
Oh wow thanks so much! I am grateful to receive feedback like this, it means a lot. 😊
I really love what Hive is to you. I resonate with both regards.
That would be totally awesome if those things come to pass for you and your family. So true, we can’t say it’s impossible when we don’t know what the future holds. I’m hoping this could eventually turn into a career opportunity for many. 🤩
Thanks so much for your continued support of my content and for taking the time to respond ~
It does feel great to get feedback. Critique was something I used to hate, but have learned to love.
I think it’s entirely possible. I saw a post today that was very inspiring. A Hive compound starting up in the Phillipines: https://peakd.com/kindness/@dbuzz/introducing-the-entrep-compound
You’re very welcome. You have earned the support 🤗
Yes receiving critique can definitely help us improve on our work. 👌🏽
Thanks for sharing the link. It is really inspiring what they’re doing. I’m going to take some time to read more about their project. My husband and I were just talking about how we hope someday to have the land and resources to build a community with shelter right within our home area. Sometimes people need a resting place of comfort and safety while they sort through things. We want to be that in between home as people get back on their feet. We want to have a community garden where everyone pitches in and then shares the harvest.
Thanks again, much appreciated ~ 😊
Pretty amazing stuff indeed.
Hi Crosheille, I love the way you write, it's a pleasure to read you to the end ♥. When I started this blog last year I took it as a hobby, like many. I always liked social networks, taking photos, telling stories. So this blog idea caught me right away. Over time I took it more and more seriously, as it began to fix many of the financial problems that the pandemic brought me last year. Today I seriously consider it my job, I really commit to publishing daily and as you mentioned in your previous post, I'm varying the niches to discover what things I enjoy writing the most.
Regarding formal work, I'm a Food Engineer and since I graduated almost two years ago I have not worked on that yet. I know that a large part of my family and friends wonder what I do 'that I'm not working' but I still have money to live 😂. For my part, I have already defined that for now I'm only going to stay with this and my private online classes, engineering can wait since now I value more free time and the flexibility that this gives me to do what I want and when I want.
Therefore, I think that I'm in a moment that I have a little of the three things: hobby, obligation and career 😂.
Awwww thanks so much lovely, I appreciate the compliment of my writing. ☺️ I’m happy that you read to the end. ❤️
I’ve noticed that you post daily! That’s great you are taking time to explore the niches you enjoy. 😃
Haha that’s so funny, they’re wondering “where does her money come from?” 😄 I know you enjoy the flexibility you have.
Nice! Thanks for sharing that. I think a lot of people will realize they fall into more than one category after thinking about it too. It’s funny how things may start off one way then eventually lead to other paths ~
Hi! Thank you for the mention! Glad to be an example of this post. I'm about to post something so the timing of this post is just right!
Hey there! Of course. 😉
When we were talking about it I already had this post in mind and knew you would be featured. 😄
Oh sweet! Looking forward to what you'll be posting. 👌🏽
Awesome post, @crosheille ! I love the story ofyour Hive journey, and how you've played various roles or seen Hive as various things over its course.
I tend to 'blur the lines' between all of these, ever since my homeless years work has been play, play has been work, and my only obligation is to be the most loving human I can be, according to my own personal conscience (or my own personal relationship-to-a-higher-power.)
This blending of everything into one philosophy of being as loving as I'm able to myself, 'filling my own cup' as best as I'm able, and then overflowing that love to as many as I'm able makes my life simple, but makes labeling things a bit trickier, lol.
I realize this is kind of a weird 'non-answer,' but well... I'm a weird guy, so I hope it'll do for now.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the read, thank you as always for your great contributions to Hive. Wishing you a great day! 🙏
Thanks @ryzeonline :)
That is a good obligation ;)
Lol it’s okay I enjoyed reading your response to my post. I appreciate how you share your heart in everything you do. I can understand why it is trickier for you to label things.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to add your input on this. It’s been really fun and interesting learning how others see Hive and how it has impacted their lives.
I agree, lol, and glad you enjoyed, I feel the same way about your comments, and yes, it's great to learn how others see Hive, wonderful post! 🙏
☺️😉
I cannot deny that Hive's financial support is fundamental for me. Hive has given me back the financial independence I lost when I got sick and could no longer work. But I like to see it as a hobby, I really enjoy being able to create content for the platform, I love the writing and sewing contests, and I feel happy showing off manual skills. Hive is really like a Happy Box where I find everything I need.
That's why I love being part of Hive🧡
That's great that blogging on Hive has been able to give you some of your financial independence back :)
I’m really glad to hear you enjoy creating here and love the needlework challenges we do.
Love it! I can relate to that :)
Thanks so much for chiming in and leaving your feedback ~ 🌸
Err, not quite sure how I stumbled across this post, though, glad I did 🙂 Am new here so just finding my feet. Interesting post as having just come away from Social King Facebook and caught myself thinking 'wow the amount of time I have spent on Facebook and what have I got for it, absolutely NADA, apart from a few funny memes and pleasant photos to look at.
Looking forward to sharing my images here rather than Facebook and I have quite a few, perhaps as well, some of perspectives on the world as a whole.
Thanks for the great post!
Hey there @simplyjas0n! Welcome aboard!!
I’m so glad you ran into my post. Thank you for reading and commenting. 😊
My husband and I have talked about that very thing. When I was on FB sharing my photography work and spending so many hours on posts and commenting etc. I received nothing in return for it but a like. I think one of the reasons it’s easy to get impacted here is seeing that you have the opportunity to get rewarded for your efforts.
I hope you have a great time sharing here and are also inspired by other’s content as well.
Take care ~ 😉
A hobby :)
Cool ;)
Thanks for responding ~
It's a hobby for me as of now. I don't even have all the time in the world to spend every day here but I check in now and then.
Well, I enjoy interacting and engaging with others even when I see hive as a hobby and I don't take more than 24 hours to respond to my comments and replies when I have any.
Time may not always be on my side to be as active as I wish to but I don't leave my readers hanging.
Maybe someday I might even consider hive as a career ;)
That’s how it is for many, checking in when you have the time ;)
This is exactly how I was when doing this only as a hobby. It was still important to me to interact and respond to those who took the time to read and comment on my posts. It’s great you don’t leave your readers hanging :)
That would be cool! I hope and believe that a Hive career can become a reality for many. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment, I really appreciate it ~
Hi @crosheille, great writing and interesting content as usual.
For me Hive and its dapps ecosystem and its unique mechanics (Hive power, voting mana, witness and so far and so forth) is still a question mark.
I'm still orienting here, I'm still searching my place and I'm still deciding how to contribute to the platform with my origial contents (photography and health are for now my most important topics but have not started writing yet). I dont deny that the perspective of possible earning from Hive does attract me, but I'm not going to overstimate my possibilities, so Hive for me is just a possible hobby right now.
Hi @giulius, thank you I really appreciate the compliment of my content. 😊
I admire and respect your honest answer. It makes a lot of sense considering you are still getting a feel for everything and testing out the waters here.
It took me several months before I really got the hang and feel for things. At least you already have a couple of niches that interests you. Healthy and photography topics are also ones that I love. 😉
I hope you enjoy your journey here. It’ll be interesting to see if this turns into something different for you once you’ve really gotten settled.
Thanks for visiting and commenting ~
Hi crosheille,
another very good food for thought post, after I discovered your blog through the
https://ecency.com/hive-174578/@crosheille/so-whats-the-criteria-for-a-quality-post-how-curators-make-their-selections
article.
My expectations as a newbie is torn. I see the opportunities, crypto generally and Hive in particular can give us, but I try to reign in my enthusiasm and let caution be the driver of my emotion for at least a year.
But if I had to categorize myself, I would say, I am the hobbyist type with the ambition to grow my presence here into a sidegig career.
I think, my natural instinct to chat with people everywhere is a big advantage here. I'm referring again to your article about curation.
But for now, I enjoy this ride and look around to getting to know people, who are on the same wavelength as me. It is very nice to see so many motivated people from around the world, who are early adopters in a specific field and want to move that "industry" forward. I'm glad to be a part of it.
Hey again @freedomprepper. Thank you! I just responded to your comment on that post. 👌🏽
I am learning through the responses of this post that there are currently several that wish to make Hive some form of career for themselves.
You are off to a good start by getting to know others and chatting around. It’s nice that you’re here and are able to take part in this journey of growth ~
Thanks for reading and leaving a comment ~
Need to add Obsession to that list...
For me it started as an obligation (to help put food on my table) evolved to a hobby as soon as I saw how much i really liked what i was doing, and how many friends i can make here, then it became a career that has allow me to do things not even my real life career has (im a lawyer) and now we are in the obsession phase =) where things get crazy but are more fun!
I'm seeing that I should have added it lol! 😅
Thanks so much for adding your input. Your outlook is very interesting as you were the first to respond that Hive started out for you as an obligation…a need to help put food on the table.
Wow you’re a lawyer? I can imagine how you use this space as a stress reliever or getaway time. It is definitely easy to have fun and get hooked here ~
In the past it was a place where I found my biggest craziest dreams. Those dreams were naive and foolish. But for a while they still were a source of happiness for me.
Now? A place where I feel at home.
In the future? A hobby? A job? a lifestyle? A vault of precious memories...Who knows.
I see you've been around since 2017 so I know what you mean. You along with many others had big dreams and plans...I know I did. At one point the way things were going some of those dreams could have been a reality.
You’re right, we don’t know what the future holds and those dreams could still one day become a reality.
That’s great. I feel the same way :)
Thanks for your comment ~
It's a pleasure read @crosheille. I've been on the blockchain for almost ayear and Hive has become a hobby, and perhaps I'm addict it. I've found much fun and joy since I started blogged on Hive. I used to hate typing or stick my eyes into the computer screen. But now I love it, and luckily I work online too so I'm able access to Hive everyday and more active 😊 I just quitted posting on Facebook as so many dramas and...stuff that I'm really into. Hive is so much better, I think :))
Thanks @trangbaby, I always appreciate your feedback and support :)
Hahaha I don't think you're the only addict here.
Secretly raising my hand. 🤫👀
That’s great you’ve found so much joy in blogging here, I feel the exact same way.
I hear ya on the FB drama, I left a few years ago. Yes Hive is much better IMO as well.
Thanks for reading and commenting ~
It's my pleasure 😉 Oh I see some of my typos in the comment hehee
I hope you have a great week ahead 😉
You have a great week ahead as well ~ 😊
Great Post. At times its been all three for me. Started as a hobby. I seriously considered it being a career and several contests i have ran have been obligations at times.
Thank you, I appreciate the visit :)
Yep that’s the same order mine went in. It was exciting knowing I could help my family financially while enjoying a hobby. Then once you start getting more involved and taking the lead in places, you quickly feel a since of obligation and want to stick around to keep things going that you took part in creating or managing.
Thanks for commenting ~
Por ahora veo a hive como una distracción, estoy comenzando apenas dos meses, particularmente lo veo como un gran edificio se podría comparar con un rascacielos, ya que es una comunidad muy alta con muchos apartamentos, donde encajamos cada uno de nosotros y por supuesto tenemos nuestras llaves para entrar y salir cuando querramos, saludos.
I like your analogy of Hive being like a big building with many apartments where each of us fit in and have our keys to come and go as we please.
When you say Hive is a distraction, are you meaning in a way to take your mind off of other things? Or get away from life’s struggles? I’m curious to know.
I ask because Hive is a getaway for me when I need some time away from a busy household to clear my headspace, to create and learn. Sometimes it’s hard to stay disciplined and not get on here when I have other things to get done so it does become a distraction in that sense for me at times too. 😄
Thanks so much for visiting ~
Precisamente es una vía de escape en cual te interrelacionas con otras personas, compartes gustos, conocimientos, entre otras cosas, es decir aprendes de otras personas pero también enseñas, además me parece divertido puedo pasar horas leyendo y escribiendo pierdo la noción del tiempo me relajo totalmente.
I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same ways as you :)
Hive is still a hobby for me. My income needs are far above what Hive can generate at my current level. Perhaps in 10 years this may become more than a hobby. I may be able to shorten that by powering up to grow my account.
But, even as a hobby, it does feel like an obligation of sorts. Prior to Hive, I would be very mindful of my other social media accounts. Now, I hardly pay attention to them as Hive offers just about all the same things. It seems I have switched the compulsive checking on social media to compulsive checking of Hive.
It would be neat seeing Hive become more than a hobby for you. I believe it could be very well possible for anyone (I have very high hopes for this platform).
😄 Yes I know exactly what you mean. I’m supposed to only be here part-time but that has changed drastically. I feel as if something is missing from my day if I don’t check in here at least once a day. I need to be in the know and not miss anything. 😅
It seems to easily be this way when you make so many connections and actually look forward to mingling with others.
I appreciate you reading and commenting, thank you ~
Right now it feels like more of a hobby because I haven't been spending time on here as much as I want to. My goal is to make this my full time career. Working toward that end. I guess obligation doesn't really fit for me. Sometimes the word obligation has a negative connotation. And I feel like any time I spend on Hive is positive because it is by choice that I am here.
I can understand why it feels more as a hobby to you right now. It's been nice and interesting hearing how many people desire for it to be a career for themselves one day. Hopefully one day it really does become that way for those seeking.
One of the meanings of obligation is commitment. This is the way I see the obligations I have here on Hive. My commitments are what helps motivate me to keep working and being of help the best I can be. When I say obligation that doesn’t mean I’m in debt to someone or am being forced to be here. I too have made the decision to spend my time here and want to stick to the commitments I have made ;)
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and leave your feedback ~
Good Morning and you're very welcome, @crosheille! Commitment is a better word. A more positive way of thinking around what we are doing here. Have a great day! 😀

Hive is an obsession at this point to me. 😂
Hahaha thanks for being honest! 🤣
I’m sure you know you’re not alone on that one lol!
Well, my relationship with Hive is kind of dysfunctional but hey, most relationships are.
Haha! 😂
Well hey at least you're here and have some type of relationship. 😅
Yes indeed.
I would say hobby for me I enjoy posting and reading posts each day
Cool! I can definitely relate to that. Both are very enjoyable :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your response ~
👍🙂👍
To me, I see Hive as an interactive environment where people across the globe meet to share their tacit, explicit, and embedded knowledge by earning rewards that will make them smile
Lovely description @apunawu ;)
One of the aspects of Hive that I love the most is interacting with people from around the globe.
Thanks for your input ~
Hive for me is a platform that for me is a way for me to improve my writing skills and at the same time earn something from it and just enjoy.it
Love it!!! I feel the same way :D
Hive actually helped me realize how much I love and enjoy writing. It's what motivates me to want to keep on improving ;)
Thanks for your input ~
I like the hive and steem ecosystem so I started and joined hive as an investor
Sweet! I've never had the finances to invest in Hive so I've done so with my time and energy :)
Thanks for reading and commenting ~
Why don't you have enough money? I see the current hive's price is also low, not very high, right? every day i spend 2$ invested in hive
Just like you said in the beginning, everyone answer cannot be the same . As for me, hive is great blockchain where everyone have the ability to build your account as you want.
Should I say it's my hobby ? No
Career? No
Obligation? Oh yes
Firstly I feel relunctant to join, but as time goes on I become interested in it , that was after 5 months, was in interested because of the token? Not at all.
Was there because of different kind of articles I always come around That's are so motivating , inspiring , and some inspirational. From there it becomes my obligation.
With the time I've spent here, I've come across people who Impacted my positively, and don't think I will ever forget them .
Hive is a place to be called a home!
Nice!! I love hearing that you have been inspired and motivated by the articles you have read here on Hive. When you have been impacted by someone it is truly hard to forget them :)
👆🏽 This for sure!

I read this as "Hive Lobby"? Yeah we need local hive meetings at town halls and make hive less blockxhain more just some app the residents download and use at the town hall meetings.... now they'll trust it .. no matter your politics YOU MUST SUPPORT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS for joining hive because they are the ones being censored. Democrats are the ones doing the censoring that's a fact everyone knows its trump who got banned on social media not Biden
So do ur fucking jobs and suck it up and go offer hiveto the red necks as an alternative to big tech censorship. Eventually every red state will form its own hive fork

I gotta be honest and say I'm not even sure how to respond to this. I’m not understanding what you are trying to say here.
Wow thanks for such a thorough and thoughtful response.
I love that…Hive is a mission. It is definitely creating beneficial opportunities and growth for many.
I have been a part of this for five years because I believe in this investment as well :)
I really enjoyed your input, thank you ~
