Yes, you did miss a lot, but you're back in time to still catch plenty. Have you discovered tribes yet? When posting use tags that relate to tribes that relate to your topic of discussion and you'll get paid with the tokens of those tribes in addition to HBD/HP. Proof of Brain tribe is killing it now, but that's just one of many.

Did you ever engage with Steem Engine? Hive Engine is better than ever. There are a lot of opportunities there to find projects to dabble in.

There are also some really cool experiments in tokenomics happening here, now, and Leo Finance is doing ground breaking, revolutionary work in the DeFi space. There's also a lot of cool projects to support in the DHF (Decentralized Hive Fund), too many to pick a place to start naming them.

Welcome back! I hope to see you around!
