Call to Action: Hive and Leo Finance - Showing This Old Man(s) a Future to Believe In
Hive and Leo Finance have become a pretty big piece of my everyday life. I guess you could say it has become my "job" and one that I thoroughly enjoy for a change. :) I find myself looking at the possibility of financial abundance that I have never really had in my life. My pot(s) of gold at the end of the rainbow perhaps? ;)
Some Quick Background
Disgusted with corporate America and the daily grind of a work a day world I quit it all in 2014. A thirty year career had left me disillusioned and border line depressed as I approached my mid fifties. I sold my house, moved away from an area I had been in for 40 some years, and tried to figure out what I would do next while living off of my home sale proceeds and 401k retirement funds.
Blockchain and Crypto Exposure
In late 2016 while browsing the internet I almost joined a platform called Steem Hive. For whatever reason I didn't join that day and it wouldn't be until early 2018 that I finally pulled the trigger. I saw it as a way to possibly earn some money posting about my new found hobby of photography.
As these screen grabs show it wasn't exactly a roaring start (lol) but I continued posting, curating others work and reading/learning as much as I could about crypto and blockchain.
Hive and Leo Finance
With the hard fork to Hive in early in 2020 I suddenly doubled my meager stake. Flush with new found wealth I was ready to start exploring crypto and the chain a little more than just posting my photography. I learned about using the exchanges and how to move my crypto around. I even bought a small amount of BTC.
For me though the most profound move I made was acquiring some LEO on Hive Engine. This led me to interactions with a whole new group of crypto enthusiasts. Leo Finance was full of people wanting to learn more about the cryptovesrse and more importantly there were a lot users willing to share their experiences and help the noobs amongst us. :)
By the time CubDeFi came along I had complete confidence in the team behind it and the future ahead. If not for that trust, I may never had ventured into the DeFi space. From the 8 CUB I received in the airdrop I now have nearly 3200 and am collecting another 30-40 per week. And I know that things are just getting started.
I now find myself involved in several projects in the Hive ecosystem. Long term investment coins like SPI, LBI and SEED. I am finding the gaming aspect of Hive - Splinterlands, Hashkings, Dcrops, Risingstar, not only fun but potentially very profitable. There is literally so many new projects and updates to old ones that it can become hard for me to keep up. I wouldn't have it any other way though. There is definitely something for everyone here. :)
Where I Am Now
The recent run up in HIVE has has given my crypto portfolio a boost to around $30k. All but about $1000 of that was earned through blogging, trading, and listening/reading the great advice given by the users of this community. And as you can see below my latest 2 posts have hit highs that 2018 me could have only dreamed of. ;)
I'm aware that things can always change and there may be a downturn at some point but a continued upswing is always a distinct possibility. In crypto a 5x, 10x even a 100x jump is not out of the question. So as I approach my mid 60's I have a feeling of finally realizing some financial abundance. Just wish this all could have happened some 40 years ago. lol.
Please feel free to make comments or ask me any questions about this post.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day!
Not financial advice in any way.
