Interesting blog. What do we want from Hive? If it is income, these are hard times with the coin so low in price. If it is in social networking, well then making a few good 'friends' might be enough.

In my case, I sort of sail along no matter the value of the coin. It has always been about creating content and getting feedback. It is the content creation that is rewarding for me. In this case, the value of the coin is almost immaterial (of course, I would love the value to rise and see a fat number in my wallet. That I would leave to my children, who are already grown, even middle aged).

I wish you well on your German journey. I hope you are in the country. It is so much easier to pick up that language if it is all around you and you have to use it to live. I learned it in school and had a great time, but achieving fluency in that environment is very, very difficult.

Here's wishing you a productive and fulfilling New Year...you and your family.
