When I first joined Hive, I didn’t fully understand what it was. Blockchain, tokens, rewards… all those words felt a bit too big for me. I only knew one thing people were writing, sharing their thoughts, and somehow earning from it. That alone made me curious enough to try.
The good side of Hive showed up early for me. The first time I posted something and got even a small reward, I felt surprised. Not because it was a lot of money, but because someone somewhere read my words and valued it. That feeling is different. It gives you a kind of motivation to keep going. Hive made me realize that even simple stories, everyday experiences, can have meaning.
Another thing I like is the community. You meet people from different countries, different lifestyles, yet somehow everyone is connected through writing. I’ve seen people support each other, give advice, and even correct mistakes in a good way. It reminds me of what my parents used to say, “If you stay around people who are growing, you will grow too.” I’ve seen that happen here slowly.
But let me be honest, Hive is not perfect.
One of the difficult parts is consistency. You can post today and get attention, then tomorrow you post something you think is better, and it feels like nobody sees it. That can be discouraging. At times, it feels like the effort doesn’t always match the reward. For a new user, that feeling can make you want to give up.
Another challenge is understanding how everything works. Voting power, curation, engagement… it takes time to really understand it. Nobody explains everything clearly at the beginning. You learn by doing, by making mistakes. Sometimes I wish it was a bit easier for beginners.
Also, not everyone you meet will support you genuinely. Just like real life, some people are only focused on their own growth. That can be disappointing, but I’ve learned not to take it too personal.
Despite all this, I’m still here. Why? Because Hive is not just about quick reward. It’s about growth. Writing better. Thinking deeper. Connecting with people.
My parents always told me, “Anything worth doing will not be easy all the time.” Hive has shown me that in a real way.
So for me, Hive is both opportunity and challenge. And maybe that balance is what makes it real.
