I was inspired to share what Hive means to me personally after reading the post by 
Even better, this may just inspire a new blogger to join the world of Hive, the how-to is at the end of my post.
DISCOVERING HIVE IN MY AUTUMN YEARS
Feeling quite dejected after being discarded by the corporate world, I was introduced to the exciting blockchain world by my son back in 2017.
My hair may be tinged with silver and some bodily parts in need of an overhaul, but my spirit is still young and I most definitely am not ready for chairobics just yet!
Hive certainly rescued this old gal from landing on the scrap heap in more ways than one; I started making new friends who filled the gap of not seeing my work buddies daily!
WHAT IS HIVE?
To describe Hive in a nutshell – it is a blockchain-based blogging and social media online platform which rewards its users with the cryptocurrency HIVE when they publish and curate content.
FINDING MY NICHE
I quickly found my niche in food blogging and sharing my love of cooking and baking through the various foodie communities from whom I have in turn learned a whole lot as well!
Qurator currently run the Hive Top Chef! Contest as well as many other regular challenges covering various topics so really cater for one and all.
Blogging about travelling to show off the natural beauty of my country South Africa is something else I enjoy sharing with the happy wanderers on Hive’s active Travel communities like Travelfeed, Haveyoubeenhere plus being able to have one’s post pinned on a map called Pinmapple is the cherry on top!
I have a passion to bring about awareness of mental health issues and dealing with it the natural way and there is a community where one finds a wealth of information and that is the Natural Medicine community.
Sharing good stuff from lessons I’ve learned along the road called Life which can be smooth but at times perilous with twisting, narrow and very steep hills; just like the crypto world which has shown me that patience, perseverance and hard work pays off as it does in our daily lives as well.
COMMUNITIES
Becoming part of a community is vital and I’ve shared a couple of my favourites with you already; it’s not a good idea trying to fly solo just like in life where a support system is vital for success.
One of the most innovative communities on Hive certainly is OCD who also is one of the most active in curating and supporting various smaller communities.
PowerHouseCreatives is another community I belong to and if you’re looking for innovation and diversity, this is the place to visit as there’s a large group of awesome talented people encouraging and supporting one and all.
Communication is vital for Hive; posting good content, commenting on and upvoting posts is what keeps the blockchain alive.
I found many mentors along the way, and that is the wonder of Hive; that people are genuinely keen to help one grow!
ENTER CORONAVIRUS
Following gross mishandling of the Coronavirus pandemic by governments all over the world, many are faced with job losses, and now is the perfect time to join Hive as the world is changing at a pace never seen before!
We now need to create our own new normal by thinking outside the box and start creating our own income in ways we have never done before.
When I arrived here all starry-eyed, I knew I was earning this Crypto Currency called Hive, but to me it was just a figure sitting somewhere on the world-wide-web, and that’s where it would stay.
However, our country’s economy was brought to a dead halt for around 3 months; killing many industries, especially the tourism sector under which our little business falls.
Our BnB had to close down for thirteen weeks which meant zero income from that source!
HIVE TO THE RESCUE
My Hive Crypto earnings came to the rescue during that hard lockdown, and with the help of my new Hive friends I quickly learned how to move this Cryptocurrency that I thought would forever sit somewhere in the World-Wide-Web and convert it into rands and cents.
It certainly filled a good couple of gaps even though I was sad that I had to start powering down; but the penny had finally dropped:
Cryptocurrency is very real and certainly is the way forward!
FINAL THOUGHTS
As said, I arrived all starry eyed and still am bedazzled by all the exciting developments taking place here on Hive; this has certainly filled a huge void and broadened my horizons.
Why not try it for yourself RIGHT HERE
Join Hive and come Alive!
