Crypto really did give me a shot at leveling up, helped me through many financially desperate down times, helped me up skill, excited me, connected me, opened my mind. Now, it is time to say goodbye, to fiat for good.

When I lived in Fiat realm, I was a slave to money, right now I feel like celebrating freedom from fiat slavery, if youā€™ve been here like me for a while or you just got here, congrats to you too. Since I got into crypto, money started to work for me.

Living in crypto, I learnt how to make money work for me while I sleep, now, I sleep better than I did when I was in the Fiat realm. Forget the fact that I maybe up all night figuring out stuff Iā€™m seeing for the first time, or writing, or curating, or planning, calculating, questioning, speculating, I really do sleep better.

In fiat system, the best job I got capped my earning potential. If youā€™re in the fiat world, this applies to you too. Youā€™re told how much you can earn as per your qualifications on paper. In crypto thereā€™s no cap to the amount of money you can earn if you know what youā€™re doing with zero paper qualification.

Unrelated but, Many people are reluctant about entering the crypto space because they feel they donā€™t have enough capital, sometimes, itā€™s not about the amount of money to invest but the lessons to learn from understanding bits and pieces that makes up the space.

It makes ones transitioning easy and there are more chances that someone who has been mostly learning than investing due to lack of capital will level up fast and can leverage knowledge to build some capital. At least thatā€™s my story anyway.

I didnā€™t do it all alone though. I got real mad love and support from the Hive community where it all started from and where I learned most of what I know to free myself from fiat slavery and still learning from...

See, when I lived in Fiat realm, I had limited opportunities, I was bound to regional laws and broken economic system, on Hive, I run my own central bank all inside my wallet. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£itā€™s funny but itā€™s true. Heck! Minimum wage in Nigeria is 30,800 naira monthly, I pay myself 40,000 naira from my HBD savings alone every month and it is still growing. Inflation and corruption have eaten away the nairas value.

Today, I checked exchange rates to find out that 1$ is now 600 naira, it was around 290 naira 2 years ago, such pathetic situation to be in. Thankfully Iā€™m not in the Fiat realm.

I catch my dad looking at me sometimes with disappointment and worry, not at me, but at the situation of the country and the potential effect on me. Weā€™ve had the crypto talk but he doesnā€™t get it, yet. I try to tell him Iā€™m fine I mean, I have my worries but Iā€™m really hanging in there thanks to the people I spend time building and growing with on here, Iā€™ve been coming a long time with many people here, 4 years counting fam. Theyā€™ve called us psychopaths lmao!!!!

@whatsup couldnā€™t have said it better šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

As much as I wish to totally quit from fiat, it still runs our physical world, but i can catch a glimpse of what the future will look like, Iā€™m building towards it already and Iā€™m doing it with the best web3 community in the world. The goal is still financial freedom.

Yesterday, I mentioned that I wasnā€™t investing in anything, well, I meant nothing new, Iā€™m locked in on my favs and mine them with my activity in Hive so Iā€™m steadily investing. Just another reason why Hive is the best web3 platform out there. Iā€™m locked in on Polycub and mining pcub tokens. Same with Rune and powered up Hive and Leo, SPS and all my major holdings.

Today is Sunday, Iā€™m just feeling thankful for everything so far, I mean I feel thankful everyday, today, I feel even more thankful.

One last thing. Someone asked me about Hive lately. Hereā€™s what I said.

Check out the response

I guess Iā€™m getting better at this šŸ˜‚

Happy new month yā€™all. Have an amazing month.
