Oh boy! Where do I begin?
It has been about 5 long years since my Journey on Steemit/Hive began (We are celebrating 3 years away from steem). It feels like it was just yesterday I was trying to navigate and figure out my way around the platform.
I have nothing but good things to say about Hive as it has literally changed my life.
Over the years, Hive has become more than just a blogging platform. It has become a space where individuals from all around the world can come together to share their stories, connect with like-minded people, and earn a living doing what they love.
When I first found out about Hive I was in doubt that such a platform could stand the taste of time. But here we are, celebrating another great year of its existence.
Sometimes I sit and wonder where I'd be without this great community and platform.
The significance of Hive extends far beyond monetary gain. It is an environment that encourages positivism, inclusivity, and respect.
The friends I've made, and the relationships I've built; all mean the world to me.
Hive is not just a regular social media platform, but a true web3 ecosystem that provides a new and decentralized way of interacting with one another.
Hive is built on blockchain technology, which allows for transparent and secure transactions and decentralization of power. This means that users have more control over their data, and the platform is not owned by any one entity.
The innovation that Hive has brought to the world of web3 is truly remarkable. Hive has created a space where users can earn rewards for their contributions, and the platform incentivizes positive behavior and content creation.
This has led to an incredibly diverse and engaging community, where users from all around the world can come together to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences.
Through Hive, we have seen the power of web3 in action.
The platform has established itself as a major pillar in the field of decentralized applications, paving the path for new and exciting opportunities in the future. Hive has demonstrated that web3 may be more than simply a concept, but also a useful and practical tool in everyday life.
That is why I have decided without a second thought to be part of this special POWER UP day.
The Hive Power Up day is a monthly ceremony that encourages Hivers to Power Up some Hive. Just in case you don’t know, Powering up Hive contributes to account growth and helps increase the number of staked Hive.
learn more about Hive Power up on the blogs of @traciyork
or @victoriabsb, the two hivers who carry the monthly HPUD (Hive Power Up Day) initiative.
This power-up day isn’t just like any other Power Up day. It is a special one as it celebrates the special existence of this great community.
I honestly have been powering down for a long time due to many reasons. I hope powering up as little as 10 Hive today will be another beginning for me.
I am grateful for the friendships, relationships, and opportunities that I have gained through Hive. I am inspired by the stories of others who have found success and happiness through the Hive platform. And I am excited to see what the future holds for Hive as it continues to evolve and innovate.
