When it comes to personal finances and access to wealth, inequality is a small word to describe the discrepancy we have in the world. There's no one to be blamed for that, it is what it is... Although I really don't get these billionaires amassing huge wealth and not sharing with less fortunate one.

I am not a wealthy person, I've never been and probably never will, I live a life below my means, try to save some, spend less that I would love to, I have my investments and I can say I've got "a balanced relationship with money".

Not all of us are in this position, unfortunately... I have a neighbor that is quite poor and I feel for him, I really do, the man has had alcohol problems and some related mental issues and it's hard for him to make a living.

Over the years I've noticed that making presents makes me much more joyful than receiving them, probably because I have never ever received anything that would fill me with joy... This man though is one of my favorites, when it comes to giving and "sharing a bit of my wealth".

Christmas is just around the corner and not all of us are fortunate enough to "have the tables full". Hence, I jumped in my old Audi, drove to the supermarket and filled these two bags wit groceries for the poor man.

It's not much, probably the food for some four-five days ahead and I know I haven't changed his life with that, but the man almost had tears in his eyes when he saw me up the stairs with the bags. I wish I would have Hive branded bags so the man knew that HIVE paid for that.

Yes, the cost of this small gift is of around 18 HIVE. That's basically nothing, but I being a person who lives off of the activity I do on this blockchain, I can say that I paid the mans Christmas food with HIVE...

There's probably some of you that don't agree much with what I'm doing(spending HIVE), but for the past year or so, crypto has become to me a mean of making a living and I'm spending it all around. I don't believe too much in HODLing anymore.

What's the purpose of HODLing tons of cash in crypto, like for example Michael Saylor does when others are living in hunger? Power?... NO, thanks. I'm for the spreading of wealth among us and that's what I consider crypto to be designed for in the first place.

I believe that we've entered an era where "crypto has literally entered our lives" and decided to be living it as such. It's no longer something of the future. Anyway, hope everybody has a great Christmas, thank you all who read my posts, engage with me and curate my content and wish you all the best!

Thanks for attention, Adrian
