There was a time in my life I was lurked in debts, about a year before joining Steem and a few months into steem since I was wasn't yet withdrawing. I knew how terrible it was and how much peace left me. Sitting to think how bleak the future would be would always put me on self pity and regrets. Soon, my traditional work then started suffering due to my emotional imbalance and it seemed the whole world was against me.

In June 2018, @Ejemai magnanimously delegated 1,5000 SP (for 30 days) to my account then and I lo, I became an influencer on Steem. I organized contests and did reward many who were engaging comments through my #commentengagementgame. Soon, whales like Surpassinggoogle started visiting my blog and double digits on my posts became a reality. Then, I came to understand that the way to attract help and support was to be a contributor to the system and that motivated me to start building my SP as the delegation duration was elapsing.

One year into Steem, I had broke through the Minnow status and I gained some more confidence to interact with the whales then. As Steem-engine emerged and our fork to Hive, everything took a new shape. My powered down STEEM was able to secure me some decent amounts of SPORTS, LEO, MARLIANS, DBLOG and a few other tokens and I began to build some tangible curation strength in the tribes.

Looking back at how those tiny investments in small tokens compounded into big things. Soon, I became a whale on LEO, SPORTS and presently holding some great stakes with CTP, LIST, CCC, NEOXAG, HUSTLER and other tokens. The entrance of dividend tokens made things more yummy and I could hold some hundreds of dollars worth of tokens. Each passing day, the curation strength builds and my curation rewards increase.

I'm 3 years and 2 months on this blockchain and I'm beginning to take some huge profits from the tiny investments I made months ago. I never knew things would improve this fast on Hive and that crypto would hold a very significant place in the finance sector, I was only saving for the future.

I'm excited the more that I'm not just growing through the ranks, I am also raising an army of young crypto investors who didn't invest a dime, but only earned some tangible amounts of cryptos and are now dipping back some good percentage of their earnings as investment.

I can say that debt is in my past and I can never go there again. I am understanding work more differently and I am now empowered to build sustainable projects. My first build would be for the sports sector as I so greatly see the huge enrolment potential that sector has with its vast fanbase. Something big is coming.

Gradually, I'm getting close to giving out cumulatively $5 worth of rewards in a single full upvote. This is just the prelimary phase of the future I saw some three years ago. It's time I set a bigger goal of being able to give out $50 worth of rewards in the near 5 years in one single upvote.

Many may say you hold too much of the tokens in stakes but what exactly does it cost especially when some of them come as free gifts as the latest @proofofbrain and @CineTv which airdropped some tangible amounts of POB and CINE respectively.
