This was the standard for crypto bros around the internet a few years ago....
"Hey you should totally dive into this ICO, it's going to the moon. But not financial advice, do your own research!"
Memes were made, laughs were had but at the end of the day...Was this real legal speak or did we become that helpless as a community that we needed to tell grown adults, to research anything they invested in?
Actually, don't answer that because I'm sure we all won't like the answer...
I say that to begin tonight's post with the following. The disclaimer goes like this:
What I'm sharing is what I did! This is my experience for my own crypto journey. In no way should this be financial advice because well...Do your own research???
Anywho...Something 
This is what I did...
I went ALL IN!
Now, let me frame this. When I went 'all in' that doesn't mean I dropped a few BTC into Hive and called it a day. If you know my story, I joined this blockchain when I had hit rock bottom. My available funds to 'invest' were zero and negative zero. I literally had nothing to my name.
What I did have though was...The most stubborn attitude one can possibly have when it comes to building anything online. My attitude goes something like this...
Show up today, show up tomorrow, and the next and the next...And the days that I don't feel like showing up, I still show up!
So my 'all in' was an approach to building on chain. This blockchain is unique because you can grind day in and day out, and be rewarded for your efforts. And that fit my needs perfectly. Because like I mentioned, I had no fiat to invest.
My 'all in' included reading the entire white paper multiple times. Learning everything I could about this thing called 'delegated proof of stake'. I followed and engaged with some of the accounts I really admired. I powered up, anytime I got an extra 5 bucks. We (
I wanted to become a product, of my product. That's the only way I ever knew how to get behind something, so I immersed myself in learning everything I could about Hive and then took it a step further...I wanted to tell the world about it! Some will call it...A passion! Others call it shilling? lol
But it was a big decision. And 5 plus years later, I still maintain it's one of the greatest decisions I've ever made.
Cool story Jongo, but you must have had some back up plans!
Nope.
Here's the thing, as there's no way to prove it, you would have to take me on my word on it but it's the truth. Everything crypto related I own, is in Hive and it's layer 2 projects. That's it.
I don't own any bitcoin. I never got into Ethereum. What you see is what you get! I'm all in both financially and passionately. With no plan B at all LOL
Now, this is why I say...THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE lol because my goodness Jongo, what is this goes to zero???
To me it's simple...I believe in Hive. Everything about it. It fits me and my goals perfectly. And if it all goes to zero, I'll live with it because guess what....I started here with nothing, and every single Hive I earn going forward is a huge bonus that I'm grateful for!
Stay humble and stay hungry, that's the only advice I could ever give...Financial or otherwise!
