Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!

I am really excited you decided to look into crypto social media! This is definitely the best place to be on the internet. There’s so much going on here, so much potential and the best part the transactions are fast and free. Big coins like Ethereum charge crazy fees for basic stuff but we do it the right way, free transactions! There are a hell of a lot of things that go on here on a daily basis. Please take the time to learn some basics and get familiar with how things function. I can talk with you for a solid 2-3 hours about stuff so I’m not trying to scare you, more prepare you for the great journey you can start with us here.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

I’ve got some tips below that are helpful, digest them slowly as you need!

We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.

I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.

With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!

There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:
