My main account finished its power down on Steem couple of days ago. If you had asked me in 2016-2018 if I would power down my Steem then my answer would've been negative. But things changed and how!
I couldn't have thought of doing that for many reasons at the time.
SteemFest 4 closed on a positive note but soon after that we had Tron's hostile take over nonsense that played itself out resulting in a new fork–HIVE
Given the massive roller coaster ride with Steem, I find myself now more flexible about how I choose to go about token accumulation and staking. My approach is more cautious and in-line with improving my overall portfolio.
Crypto market evolves quickly and people are quick to try new things and also give up on them. Fortunately, HIVE is off to a good start but I would like HIVE regain a position within the top 50 in crypto rankings.
It's also good to see renewed interest towards this project from some old users who left after Steem prices peaked in 2018. Some of them are starting to show face again on HIVE but I hope this time they stick around and bring some value to the chain as well.
I wish I knew where the next couple of years will take us in crypto–in our individual journeys and collectively on HIVE. Hopefully we will achieve new goals we've set for ourselves.
In the meantime I hope to see HIVE grow and make a name for itself in the top 100 ranking. Let's continue to spread the word!
Are you still active on Steem? How do you feel about these changes if you've been around for a while?
