Since I started on Hive my main goal is to make my account grow and I always ask myself how others got to that place, either they buy a lot and hold because I can tell people usually vote for those accounts expecting a vote back, do this accounts post constantly some do two or even three post a day and I cant do that, at most I can do two post a day, this weekend there are four sports event I love and cant post about them all its just too much, some of this accounts a really creative and talented writers from putting out content that makes you reflect on situations or paint a picture of the place they are exploring. Its a constant question how I can get close to that, I'm not expecting results on the first month although I think my account is doing good I got no complains, I very satisfied with my results so far. Thinking about how to move forward I also felt a bit down, without much energy and this comes from certain situations that for me to use the Mute button a few times, with the recent AI topic I got so bored and discourage, seen how people can turn so aggressive about the topic and I get it also support the fact that there shouldn't be AI generated post on a platform like Hive, all this happening is also part of the decentralization, the beauty and things that come with true decentralization, some times its not easy to stay in such environment because the same goes to up votes and down votes. Its extremely criticize down votes but I believe they are necessary to avoid certain situations like abuse, circle voting, excessive reward from one post with low effort content. That made me think about my auto votes and manual vote too to the point I massively reduce my auto vote, I was voting for people only for the reward and not because I like or read their content, for example this weekend I made two Formula 1 post, first close to no votes and second one bunch just because OCDB up vote a bunch of people who I don't know and they don't read my content keeps up voting that post, if I want to grow my account I doubt duplicating that behavior will help me.
Discourage at times
Because of all this situations plus a lot of work and things to do at home I haven't been too active when it comes to engaging but kept posting daily, my voting power will start to be high, rn its at 95% because of how I reduce my auto votes and haven't been active lately. I will start up voting the communities I post in like CineTv, Sports Talk Social, Proof of Brain and eventually latter on the year plan to start doing videos too. I'm not pretending to know it all or have all the answers, been, staying and grow your account in Hive is not easy, there are all types of personalities in the ecosystem, its not for everybody, decentralization could be a hard pill to take for people who are use to have rules for everything and can at times discourage you as how some people express and defend their point of view.
Hive Price Turns Irrelevant
Hive for me is a 10 year period experiment, for many reasons, economically I'm doing great and have no need to profit meaning sell Hive and for this reason the price of Hive for me is irrelevant and all I do is power up whatever I get, some post do great for me others don't but as long as I keep posting best content I can, be creative, unique, with time some people will like it, comment, follow and up vote, in the short time I have been on Hive I'm starting to see that meaning my account is not just another ghost in town, I feel great for that.
By no meaning I think or believe I have all the answers, I'm constantly wrong about things but avoiding making those mistakes is what eventually make me progress, that's what I'm trying here, understanding what works and doesn't work for this project and how I can also benefit others.
Every Sunday I check how Bitcoin and the rest of the market is doing since I will start buying next month would prefer to buy during somewhat good prices and never by peaks, on my last Weekly Blog @skiptvads/weekly-blog-550-not-so I mention how I was expecting Bitcoin do do something similar to what its doing hitting 28k
Last week I was expecting Bitcoin to go up in price close to the $27k - $30k in the 1D chart but not expecting this to be sustainable, many thought they were front running the FED and the rest of the world but this is a sign that things are not ok, although I don't think inflation the problem, the real problem in my opinion is the devaluation of the currency (USD), based on all the money printing during COVID.
That move on the 1D was very savage taking Bitcoin price to $19k, news from different icons in the crypto space has move the price, as Binance CEO then announce they will be buying a lot of BTC, ETH and BNB as the USA goes after stable coins that made a great impact on the price and kept the rally alive.
The weekly chart is a different story, I believe probably by the end of the month see a retracement of the price, there are many global topics affecting the market so it depends where we at on those other matters, best thing that could happen to the market is that it drops but doesn't brake $15k.
In one to three years when I look back at this posts probably will be encouraging how both my portfolio and Hive account has grown, I will do my best to stay engaging during the week as now Im done with a few things at work, here some stats for prosperity.
