Certain people from HIVE put a "slight pressure" on me to create this collection, so here we are... 馃槂 This is my first contribution to the #HiveCollectors community... As any other OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder) person, I do create "order" and "collection" of everything, but they are more like a collection of ideas, a collection of problems, issues, draft posts, etc. 馃槂 But, let's try to stick to the topic in this one, where I will show you my small collection of t-shirts in specific "niche"... Guess which one! 馃槂
This is the t-shirt that you probably saw many times on HIVE as many people were wearing it at different Hive meetups all around the world... I got this one at the last meetup that I attended in Hamburg #BuzzParty2024 in April! Believe it or not, this is my first and the only HIVE-related t-shirt! I got a Liketu t-shirt in Amsterdam #HiveFest in 2022, but as I don't fit in it (too many cookies 馃槀), my son is wearing it... And it is his favorite!
I'm not sure how many objects I have to have to call it a collection, but I was "growing" this one for the last 7-8 years... 馃槂 It's not a big one, but knowing how media was/is against crypto, it wasn't an easy job to collect these t-shirts...
This one is my oldest, and probably because of that, the dearest crypto T-shirt of all! I got it as a present for attending my first-ever event about blockchain and crypto! It was in May 2018, and I learned a lot about cryptography, blockchain tech, Bitcoin, IOT, and many other things...

After that event, I attended 3-4 more before the C-19 era, when everything stopped and moved online... But, that's not the "real thing" so, I didn't attend online events, except virtual HiveFests during those years... When we became free again, I attended many Hive meetups, some bigger, some smaller... Speaking of which, #HiveFest is coming in September... Are you going?
The next two t-shirts were my first Amazon crypto-related purchases (if I don't count dozens of GPUs that I bought from there for crypto mining 馃槀)... I was avoiding buying clothes from Amazon as I was afraid that I would buy something too big, or too small... Well, these two T-shirts are a bit too big for me... Yes, I'm trying hard to fit into them, and eventually, I will probably... 馃崺馃嵈馃槀
Despite looking like I'm wearing a women's dress, I do like the second one more than the Bitcoin shirt for one reason... I don't like to look like a Bitcoin maxi... Crypto is more than just Bitcoin and people will realize that sooner or later... Until then, accumulate! 馃檪
As it shows the Illuminati eye, it does attract many looks, which is great as people ask questions, and I like to talk about crypto... lol... Educating curious people on the go!
The next two t-shirts (orange BTC and the fishing BTC Moon) are my last purchases from Amazon... HIVE merch wasn't available there, and there were no "crypto in general" shirts that I liked, so I went with these two... Again, I have my favorite between these two, but only for one reason, comfort... The orange T-shirt is from simple material and is much more suitable for the weather in Spain...
But, I do like the design of the fishing the BTC Moon t-shirt... I sweat more in this one, so avoid wearing it during the sunny days (almost every day here... lol), but I use it as many as possible evenings/nights! No sun, no problems... 馃槂
The last one isn't a crypto t-shirt, but when I saw it in the store, I didn't hesitate at all to buy it... During my life, I was always doing more than 1 job at a time (usually 2-3), and I had always problems explaining what am I doing for a living... Switching to 100% crypto, that's even harder today... lol... That's why I bought this one, as it explains perfectly that even I have no idea what I'm doing... 馃槀
The story of collecting crypto t-shirts isn't over and I hope I will expand my collection in the future!!
Thank you for your time.
