Have been meaning to post this for a few days, a bit of a milestone within the Hive ecosystem.. have managed to accumulate +50 HP (or in other words my first 50 Hive, if I chose to power down, which I won't be lol!)
Big shout out to @drakedukane who got me underway..

Journey So Far..
It's been an interesting ride, I've embraced many aspects of the Hive Ecosystem to get this far, there's been Blogging, Splinterlands, Actifit and even a little Day Trading via HiveDex. Been an experiment of sorts to see if it is still possible in 2026 for a newbie to come along, join in, make some friends and contribute as much as benefit from the Hive Chain.. and so far I'm calling it a success! :)
Splinterlands
Battling in Foundation & Modern
189 Cards, ~4900 Power, nearly assembled by first 500 $SPS
Joined a Guild 'Hybrid', doing well, lots of recent Gold finishes, got promoted to Officer
Started Buying and Selling Cards on the Market
Started Renting cards to assemble a Meta to battle more efficiently in Modern
My initial $10 investment is now returned, playin for fun now and accumulating as I go!
Still haven't burned through the initial Credits, by learning from others and Renting hired muscle was able to compete and raise funds very efficiently! Even have ~45,000 Glint to my name! :)

Hive Blog
Enjoying my time spent here, learning about Community tokens
Curating others and producing my own content
Having some fun interactions, and meeting lots of new people along the way, the positivity in this Ecosystem is a thing to behold! :)
