Man, this decade sure started with a bang, huh? Some crazy, crazy times behind us and probably even more interesting times ahead of us.
Now with the migration of ocd and ocdb being over and a lot of curation in our community being taken care of I'm finding some more time to get back to posting and one of my favorite kind of posts I liked to do where the "asksteem" ones after the popular r/askreddit which I always enjoyed reading. The engagements that went on there were always really fun and entertaining and I'm hoping to see that happening more on hive in the near future with more consumers existing.
Without getting too much into the history in the past few months of what occurred on the now database Steem, I wanted to check what people's plans were with their points they're liquidating on there. Now don't get me wrong, this is not a post to judge anyone wanting to keep their Steem and see where it goes, during a fork a lot of investors usually keep both coins although I can't really say that I've ever seen anything like what's going on over there right now. Crypto is unpredictable, though.
Me personally I am a little bit in debt at the moment so I might be looking at a small pump here or there to get rid of that but am appreciating this opportunity of a new start here on Hive and looking to grow my stake back to do what I've always wanted to do and have been for a very long time - curating. Hive feels great right now, there's always been this feeling of unfairness on Steem that no matter how much work you put into it there was always a centralized entity over your shoulders who would benefit more from the value you're bringing to the chain. Now that that is gone though I think the psychology has changed a lot, I've talked with a lot of investors who see this is a great opportunity to finally own and power up more of the "steem" the way it should have been from the start. The enthusiasm from old developers that used to work and build things on Steem seems to be back now on Hive and it feels great to see them back and the same goes for other old Steemians that left a long time ago. Have been seeing many return, some because of covid-19 while many others because of Hive and the opportunities that presents.
Once I'm debt free again and have a certain safety-net of USDT in case more chaos were to occur in the markets and the world in the near future I'm very much looking forward to start powering up even more than I have lately as I have this feeling of already valuing Hive way more than I did with Steem by the end.
So anyway, to get back to the question of this post, what are your plans with Steem?
Keeping it powered up,
selling it for fiat or another crypto,
powering it up onto hive
or just taking a break from all of it temporarily?
bonus question, how are you feeling on this chain in general? What would you say the biggest difference is?
PS! I may need a new footer so for now I'll just add a random photo I've taken a long time ago. :D
PPS! Would anyone be interested in a curated and moderated "AskHive" community if I were to create and run one?
