My father always says: "Life is nothing more than the accumulation of small joys" a phrase he usually uses to explain the importance of the simple things that give us happiness, just yesterday I was thinking about his words when I went to the supermarket to do my grocery shopping for the week, which is only possible thanks to the monetization of content and the magic of cryptocurrencies and tokens that make up the social network Hive. As I was circulating through the cookie aisle I stopped right in front of the shelf where the famous baked treats with vanilla cream are displayed.

Perhaps to some people it may seem like a big deal or an exaggeration to think that a small package can be so important for a person, for me those cookies of the famous "O" brand represent my new empowerment, I no longer limit myself to buy the cheapest and most necessary food for the sustenance of my family, I no longer care about the price, now I can return to my state of dignity before this horrible crisis in my country, now I can and I want to take those treats that I like so much and pay them without regrets or guilt.

I am not talking about consumerism, that is one of the many consequences of the fiat model, I am talking about the freedom offered by knowing that finally your economic life depends on yourself, now a devalued salary does not exert pressure on your emotional and physical stability, now a digital currency, your ability to communicate and your desire to live and share the little joys are the tools to overcome inflation, at least in my case. Before knowing Hive, POB, LEO and all the ecosystem of this social network my version as a person and woman was very different from today, bitterness and despair dominated me in that despite believing in the alternative of cryptocurrencies I could not regain control of my life, largely because I was dedicated to acquiring digital money with my salary in fiat and receiving refusals to my credit applications for my venture.

In this 2021 when I finally decided to take on content monetization, the thoughts linked to the possibility of migrating from the country (with the consequences that represents) were dissipating, I also recognized that assuming a life around the productivity that offers content monetization can generate the economic stability I need to overcome the crisis and raise my family. That simple package of cookies, which last year represented a luxury I could not afford, today is the reaffirmation of my independence, I tell the world that only I have in my hands my destiny and that this is just a small part of what awaits my life. Next stop: my new blender.
