hitting 100,000 HIVE might not be as far off as I thought.
I'm surprised you have this much faith in Hive (and commend you for the faith)! It's an old, decaying ghost from my perspective of 8 years or so. I've only seen the value slowly decline from dollars to cents, soon to be single digits...
On a personal note, as I approach 40, I'm realizing my body isn’t what it used to be
I've been feeling this at 37 so hard the last few months. A bunch of ailments building up long term, cracking joints, back pains, digestion, getting out of bed wrong making the whole day sore lol... I always thought it was just memes that you suffer in your 30's but it's so real.
Sad to see you feel this way, however I don't disagree, it's not the same place it used to be...but I'm not talking only from the financial value perspective. I've built, and keep building, my stake since mid-2017 and have no expectation it'll do anything for me at all financially (in the real world),but it's more enjoyable to be here with stake.
Yeah I mean, I don't really say it with a negative mood or feeling. I've not considered the monetary aspect for a very long time, since Steem days, really. I collect rewards out of habit and thats pretty much it heh.
I just like the quaint small atmosphere with almost zero toxicity. The second I go onto reddit or twitter and I'm reading endless scrolls of insults and threats. Hard pass!
I get it. I make my income in the real world and a few cents on Hive don't factor greatly, I've never used any in the real world, so it's all just magic internet money currently. I'll have a massive tax liability eventually.
I'd like to see things become more fun here, we used to have a fucken whale if a time, now...not so much. I just started the shit photography community to see if I could get some fun happening but I think many are so focused on posting where they feel they may get bigger rewards that fun doesn't enter the equation.
Sad.
I've never seen Reddit, no interest, and Twitter...same really. I have no social media...it's mostly toxic shit.
me neither. I doubt we've missed a thing.
I made the The Dull Club perhaps you could join, for all things dull (importantly, not 'boring').
Posted nothing yet but I'll make something of it soon
I just gave it a follow...I'm somewhat of a dullard, could be a good community for my dull brain to post dull things.
It's true that it could decline and disappear, and I'm okay with that. I'm only investing what I can afford to lose. But looking back, there were several opportunities I considered but passed on, and if I had just put some disposable income into them, I could have made a lot of money in the long run.
The money I'm using would probably have been spent on something unnecessary anyway. At least with this, it's something I can actually make use of now and hopefully well into the future.
I can totally relate to all the aches and pains. I'll be 37 in a few months, and I really wish I hadn't taken my body for granted in my 20s.
Probably true yeah...I sometimes wonder how much money I've lost simply by not ever having put into savings or stocks until relatively recently. Just inflation alone would have cost me a fortune without even knowing. (stealth tax).
Well, we need more people with faith like you around here!
