Welcome on Hive!
I have to admit you already wrote a qualitative introduction post so cheers to that!

Your take-a-ways of hive are impressions, I share with you after 1year of being on hive. Especially the number 2, the more effort you put into it, the more you'll get back (Not only moneywise but also knowledge, friendships, awesome people,...)
