Indeed, there is a big difference between winning and growing. To truly succeed, both are necessary, yes, but growth must be given higher priority, especially in difficult times like the ones now. And, obviously, one of the ways to grow in Hive is by socializing with other users, in addition to providing value.

I contribute as much as I can. Unfortunately, my current situation doesn't allow me to buy HIVE (which I would be doing right now, taking advantage of its current price, if the situation were different). But with what I generate from my publications, I can reinvest it in different ways.

On the other hand, my voice and words become worth something after I make myself known, something that doesn't happen in other parts of the internet, at least not so easily.
