I really appreciate the cards you sent. It's funny because these are the first ones i have ever gotten before from a giveaway or contest. The only cards i have ever acquired were from playing and getting rewards. I made a post back in the Alpha days and used my rewards from the post to buy the starter deck. I got some other cards airdropped since i had old ones. I think i may have only purchased a few packs in the early days with my Hive rewards. Well, back then it was on Steem but you know what i mean.
My whole account here on Hive has been built from organic growth. I think i put 100$ of the stimulus check money we got last year. Of course, i didn't grow my account alone as it took community and friends to care and share votes, comments, and such. It's i even took about a year off of the blockchain due to some life situations. If i had been grinding that whole time i probably would be much further along.
I hear you though. It's cool you are here in Texas as well. I know relationships and networking are important and i too spend much time on discord for it. But, i was mostly referring to the whiners in general that blame the whales for everything and how expensive stuff is when they could be over here actually contributing to something bigger than just in it to earn.
Rewards are part of the bonus really. Most people that are ONLY in it for rewards don't last long. I think some of the friends i have made on this platform have really made a much more enriching personal experience for me personally. Hopefully, i have helped enrich their experience a bit here and there too. I won't write a complete book here... but i would suggest that whatever you are interested in there is probably a community for it. Getting involved in a community is a great way to get rolling. Just engaging within the comments of posts you like can be beneficial in more ways than one. I am probably not telling you anything you don't already know i am guessing.
Thanks again for the conversation and the cards bro!
Wow... no that was great I enjoy the conversations quite refreshing quite honestly, but I can also be reached in discord at InfinityTcg#8041 so it is more of a dialogue lol but no rush as this post and responding to it leaves me somewhat drained...
Lol reading and writing are probably one of the things I dislike the most so I guess that is what makes it a little exhausting. I've been in the Tcg/ccg community for about 20+ years and when I say in the community I mean neck deep in it lol over 50,000 hours probably spent playing/thinking/trading cards... so yeah to me this is more of a exploration of myself and try to look into other interests and finding more about myself
Cool... i will hit you up over there! That's a lot of hours bro! hahaha
