We might cross paths on different journeys. Sad, to hear the destinations some arrive at. Think, once a collegiate swimmer, now a man in the first quarter of his life sits arraigned over video chat for 2nd degree murder.

Ryan massaged our group chat. It was a relaxed Saturday afternoon of beers and chips. Weed, water and video games formed a salve for the ailment of burnout. I never thought a story about an old connection would unsettle me so.

"A guy I swam with at Bentley was arrested yesterday for second degree murder"

Dunbar's number had been an interest of mine. What if the connection I made in the past led to dangerous places? A professor from the same school was arrested for the accidental murder of her boyfriend, a police officer of another town. Yet the story snakes on as details suggest other police officers from the jurisdiction played a part in the death, not his girlfriend.

The fact I do not wish to face is: the path ahead, many walk in different ways. Ambition killed Macbeth, the English literature classes teach; does desire really do us in? To build wealth feels lethal in terms of trial and effort. There is no race, no shortcuts neither. I almost take that connection for granted most.

To build wealth on Hive

We must make an attempt at showing others the possibility. I agree with kryptik@kryptik. Our best advertisement might be our actions, so I appreciate this blog post on how to build wealth on Hive. I'm doing my best to market the potential to proveritas@proveritas, jotnheimr@jotnheimr, jackthestreet@jackthestreet and all of TURBO. Most of all, I aim to prove it to myself that what I think is right.

Your view must be long-term. Money isn't wealth, either, though it helps you grow it. Most of all, you need your wits about you for growth.

The idea is that you have 5 tokens, work to turn to that into 10.

Communities, connections, followers. Socials. Market capitalization, holders, volume. Without a benchmark, you can't observe change. I write to benchmark with these posts.
