top of the mornin to ya

Well, it's Monday. You can either hate it because it's Monday or you can choose to have an amazing day. I definitely woke up in a great mood when I realized that I had hit 500 followers here on Hive! How fucking cool is that?! Like I know there's probably some bots and shit mixed in but 500 people care enough about what I write to follow me. I honestly can't properly express my gratitude. This community has done so much for me it's hard to even describe. I used to do this as a hobby every now and then, but now I do this is a way to pay bills and live. I do this because I love it. I gave up on the bullshit 9 to 5 job life. Hive is my focus. I'm here.

Hive Stats

First I want to share my Hive progress because it's moving quickly! Just surpassed 500 followers and 1300 HP! Also closing in on 67 reputation. I really wanna hit 70 by the end of the year but that seems so hard! Building a reputation on this platform is a grind and it's definitely not something for the faint of heart.

Looking at Hivestats - in the past 30 days I have earned 619 HIVE, or $463 which is just mind blowing honestly. I try to explain this to my friends and family and they just can't seem to grasp that I write literally whatever I want and make money. I guess people really are stuck in that traditional "I have to work for someone to earn money" mindset that @readthisplease just recently wrote about. That guy motivates me every single day because he is consistent. Not only consistent, but he writes high quality posts like 3 to 4 times a day! Like fuck I wanna be like @readthisplease when I grow up!!! Also worth noting - on Hive Engine I have earned roughly $65 in 30 days. I'm not sure if this takes all Hive Engine tokens into account, but either way I am definitely happen with the numbers here!

LeoFinance & Proof of Brain

I have been heavily focused on building my LEO power and POB power as well. I delegate a lot of both because it's hard to keep up with curating on all 3 platforms. After powering up today, I busted through 300 LP! Holy shit, I am just blown away by these numbers. Also surpassed 150 POB power! My strategy is basically power up everything right now. I have only ever sold maybe 15 LEO for other Hive Engine tokens but aside from that, everything gets powered up! I want to build it up enough to have meaningful votes. My posts don't always fall under the LeoFinance category but I'll still shamelessly slap the tag on there because fuck it, it's a free platform.

Finally - The NFT Giveaway

I have been struggling to decide how to celebrate hitting 500 followers. I tossed around the idea of giving away a crypto hardware wallet or something physical. Then I keep coming back to NFTs because it's much easier, I don't have to deal with shipping, anonymity, etc... So I am giving away not one, but 3 NFTs from the Graffiti Kings collection! I love the art these guys create. I love their positivity. Their focus on community. They truly are some amazing artists.

These are the 3 art pieces I will be giving away. They are all animated and their rarity is Legendary. I love these 3 pieces.
