WHY HOLDING IN HIVE IS A NO BRAINER?

You probably read the post by @geekgirl about Hive. She has put forth many details on why a diamond paw should hold Hive and then looking at investing into the blockchain. Hive is a place where you get reminders and you know why you are here. Feel free to read her post. You can learn a lot from her point of view. These points can be yours as well. I did manage to leave a comment since just like you I care for this community.

If I recall I did write about something similar to what she asked. Adding to what she says, Hive is a place you come to look for information. The idea of Hive as a social media is changing day by day. It is more than just a place to come for writing a post. Lately the engagement is alive over #leofinance. It is a starting point for decentralization with WEB 3.0.

I have seen the reason Hive has move up the ranks lately. The demarche is not one man show, it is up to all of us to keep the decentralized idea alive. Thanks to the seizure off Steem, we can say we are on the way to be fully decentralized. I mentioned holding Hive all over my posts. Sometimes I am asking myself, will it work? I guess it works for whatever reason you set in place.

I do hold #btc, #ether and other tokens. The time and value I put in Hive is way different. Hive made me understand why #dpos is the way for this blockchain to achieve greatness. When you think ownership, Hive teaches that as well. I recalled when I started in the community I had a hard time understanding why I need four private keys for my account. I should say 5 in total. As you grow further you see the value of being your own bank where as a community you take care of your business.

While I was reading some of the comments from her posts, some praise while some still not sure of the direction of the price. There is one cool thing with Hive. It is an inflationary token. In order to remain competitive you need to amass more. The minute you fall behind, your curation, your upvote will fall back. As a community, your fellow hivers will always got your back as long you keep your value posts high. For the price factor, I wish to see $5 now. At the same time I do not wish to see 13 cents Hive. The way of the price is everyone business. What do we bring for outsiders to jump into Hive?

I knew of crypto before Hive/steem. I truly delve into crypto with many instructive posts I read. So glad to see Hive is not just a place you can write. It is a place you can start your own business(community, dapp) and make something. Yes Hive made it possible for like #leofinance to start something where I learn deeper about #defi. I did not learn DEFI just by reading a post. I had the opportunity to go to the #discord group where step by step other diamond paws was helping others to understand.

There is more than just Hive blockchain. There is the ability to get with another Hiver and you can actually talk to them. It may appear nonsense for many but the situation speaks volume knowing many feel the same way for Hive. There is an Hiver in Nigeria that I follow. I think he posts daily and he did some videos. After many years, he is doing really good from where he started. Many other diamond paws from what I see, post like it is a job. They are doing a great job at it. As long you build a strong entourage, Hive is the best place to be. The camaraderie is real.

HIVE BLOCKCHAIN

Now you may ask yourself, you did not say much about Hive itself. Actually few will understand the intricacies of the blockchain. 3 second block time, no fee for transaction, free account, HBD, etc... These things does not make Hive what it is today. I will leave them for developers. Hive resilience for investing is the hope that your account today can grow out of nothing. All you have to do: be there, write posts, upvotes, engage, look for opportunity, grind and life continues. The cool part of Hive I love the most, you may have to share. You never know how you could change the lives of another Hiver.

What makes life beautiful, everyone will have an answer for Hive. Hive itself is nothing. We are Hive. We are the beating heart of the blockchain. Whatever you do, Hive will thank you. Wherever you are, every time you earn couple Hives, you feel the blockchain is moving. Investing in Hive the way you can. My way is so simple I do my best to write everyday. I look for ways to upvote other hivers. Keep the engagement going. @geekgirl did say a lot, read her post. Reading is the best gift Hive is giving us all daily. Money means different thing to different people. While I am holding mine, you are free to sell yours.
This is why I am investing in Hive and my time.
