I believe we're making history here on Hive and in the cryptocurrency community in general.
Yep, I agree with that completely. The challenge with being an early adopter is that the world thinks you're speaking Klingon until they finally catch up. By then we've usually moved on to something else.
But in the case of Hive and crypto in general, it's easy to stay active because it's something we were doing before (blogging, podcasting, video, social media or paying bills etc) we've just adjust how we do it. And it's darn right rewarding.
