I'm happy that you seem to be thriving on HIVE in Proof Of Brain. I will admit I have felt pretty distant from HIVE for a while, but I still really enjoy it as the one place I like to document my writings for posterity.

You seem to be coming into your own unique blogging style combining your interests and experience as a teacher, longtime foreigner living in Korea, with all your other passions/hobbies such as art and humor.

I have really appreciated your friendship and engagement with my posts over the years... it means a lot. Writing is such a therapeutic practice and it's great when it seems to strike a chord with others as an added bonus.

I could relate to one part quite a bit

I am tempted to write about how I traded Splinterlands and collect close to 300% APR and how I have Leo Cubs in a Den collecting some crazy interest rate and how I staked all my hive-engine tokens and just watch them spill out every day but that's not cool.

Like everyone else that held Splinterlands cards over the years, I've been amazed to see the skyrocketing userbase there along with card values. Somehow, I just am not too enthusiastic about writing all about it! It's one of those high risk, high return investments that honestly.... I can't take any credit for. It's just a nice surprise when the loop life throws you for is actually profitable rather than well, your house burns down or something.

I really rarely talk about crypto with people that aren't into it anymore unless it comes up naturally in conversation as I know it is such a volatile space. I am totally bewildered by it and have no idea which projects and coins will survive long-term. For now I am just enjoying the ride and grateful for the connections I've made along the way.

Peace
