Don't get me wrong, I love Hive. It's the key to everything but my goal to be a dolphin there was misguided at best.

As I grew my stake I noticed that the community began to shrink. Well, at least for me it did. The more I engaged, the more I realized the activity level on the chain seemed to be declining.

I can't quite remember how much hive power I had but becoming a dolphin was a let down. I was basically posting to myself and curating to earn basically nothing. I had lost my desire to keep going. Well, at least as a dolphin.

I began to power down and sell. I decided to keep only 1000 hp to maintain a presence but I wasn't going to be locked into a power up that didn't seem to benefit me or the people I followed because most had stopped posting.

Even now I cruise around hive and it seems disjointed and curating is hard. But @leofinance has turned that around for me.

I began posting and curating again back in December and it has been the most fun and profitable blockchain experience to date. I've been powering up and created a curating account and now control over 4000 lp. My 100% votes combined are worth .35 leo and that, to me, is a signifigant enough value to help other members grow their accounts.

I'm going to continue to power up leo and even though by default it will earn me hive because of @leo.voter, I have no current plans to power up more hive. I'm looking to convert it Leo.

So lonely fish no more I'm looking to become king of the jungle. But feel free to convince where the value in powering up hive may be. I'm open to opinions

If you look in my wallet now, you will see my liquid hive.
