Usually there are two kinds of people. One who just starts and the other ones are those who wait for the perfect moment to start.

Speaking from my experience, I belong to the first kind.

I think the best way to learn something is by doing it.

A couple of days ago, travel-cuisine@travel-cuisine told me about something new called hive that is happening around the steemit space.

And when I finally decided to check it out today, I was surprised to see that one of my old steemit friend sidwrites@sidwrites is back here. I think he was getting bored because of the lockdown and while exploring the rabit hole of his past projects, he somehow found out his steemit keys.

Anyways, I have been out of the crypto space in early 2018 and haven't even checked the price of bitcoin since 2019.

I know that a lot has happened during this time and there is a lot to catch up.

Like everyone else, I was also getting bored at my home. After spending my first week playing games on my laptop and watching Netflix, I was running out of ideas of what to do next. So I think HIVE could be my escape from this boredom.



There are a couple of reasons why I am quite excited about hive.

1: I haven't written anything after leaving steemit.

Even though I wasn't a good writer, I enjoyed creating posts on steemit. And after leaving it in 2018, I haven't written any content except a few posts on my twitter account.

I think that hive could bring back those old cherished memories of mine.

2: Reading some new books.

As my content was related to self improvement, I used to read a number of books in the past.

And now that I have got time to read and write about self improvement ideas, I can read two new books that I was planning to read but couldn't in the past couple of months.

The books that I have planned to read are The Compound Effect and The Atomic Habits.

3: Catching up with what's happening in the crypto space:

As I haven't been around this space in the last two years, I have missed on a lot of things. So there is a lot of stuff to learn about like which new projects are there and which ones are wiped out. From what I have heard, I think most of the altcoins are slowly dying a painful death.

4: Connecting with some old friends and making new ones.

I have made some really good friends on steemit who are still in contact with me even after I left steemit. I think creative space like hive will provide me a good opportunity to make new life long friends here.

5: Making a productive habit during the quarantine time.

I felt like I was wasting most of my time in the first week of lockdown. Even though I needed a break from my stressful life, I wasn't enjoying my free time wasting it on unproductive things.

So, I have decided to spend most of my quarantine time on reading books and creating new posts on hive.

So, even though I don't know much about hive, the interface looks good and I believe the best way to learn about it is to start doing it and learn on the way.
