Wise words and interesting thoughts here. The lesson that I learned here the hard way is that being a successful blogger is not enough. To be able to live off Hive, you need to be a very good trader too. Unless you live somewhere where just a few hundred bucks monthly gets you a comfortable life...

Btw speaking of the whales, I wouldn´t say that they live (only) from Hive. From what I know, most of these big guys with millions of Hive hold even bigger bags of other coins and assets. Then, with some trading skills, common sense and discipline, it can be totally doable to live off crypto, even in the most expensive parts of the world ;)
