Now that cryptocurrencies have gone from being a curious novelty to the most popular form of investment today, more and more people want to participate in this game to get rich and overcome the crisis by accumulating cryptoassets. Both in social networks and in the media the topic of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (BTC) takes the lead in the information we consume on a daily basis, on the other hand the king of cryptocurrencies continues its rise as a unit of value.
The problem lies in the fact that to participate in the race for the BTC requires money, which many in the world do not have and it is a difficult process to assume because they live from day to day, so the unstable behavior of the BTC is a stressful and unfeasible process to follow. On the other hand, investing in highly expensive mining equipment to perform Proof of Work (PoW), the way to create BTC by solving complicated mathematical algorithms is beyond the reach of the vast majority of us, so it is necessary to assume another less complicated but equally effective way to generate income in cryptocurrencies.
In this sense, Hive offers an alternative to enter the world of cryptocurrencies without having to put a lot of fiat money in the system, it only requires intellectual work by making quality publications within the ecosystem of the community. The way to mine the cryptocurrency corresponds to a process called *Proof-of-Brain, where the generated content performs the functions of the mathematical algorithms characteristic of BTC, in this sense, the intellectual work is rewarded by the community through the upvotes it collects.
But the intellectual work that is done in Hive is not only focused on offering complex and long writings, within the system there are several niches dedicated to qualify large or small inputs that are published in the social network. From photographs, recipes, opinions, stories, videos or tutorials to scientific publications with a rigorous research process come to life in Hive, in some cases they are well rewarded by the community.
Also as part of the process of rewarding intellectual work, within the social network coexist a variety of tokens associated with the Hive cryptocurrency, as the case of POB (Proof of Brain) which was designed to work as the Bitcoin but in a space where content is monetized, #LEO the token of the #Leofinance community which is dedicated to publish articles around sharing ideas about cryptocurrencies, economics and investments, these are just the tip of a diversified community of tokens that benefit the crypto health that feeds them.
As you can see, intellectual work does not require university degrees or becoming an important or famous name, you just need to have the desire to generate money translated into cryptocurrencies by contributing original and quality ideas or creations, principles that underpin the Hive community. In this social network freedom of expression and creativity is welcome and is usually rewarded with the grace of the other members of the social network, so your thoughts will always be welcome in this decentralized crypto-society.
