I underestimated Hive during my early days here too. Little did I know I had been missing out on things. Some days ago, I read a post where @Khaleelkazi said it's good that Hive is an underdog because being an underdog means no one cares about you, and while that is going on, Hive is working in the shadow while building its brick little by little.
Yes, I never knew I could come to enjoy Hive now as before and I am glad I came back with full force and strength. Three months after joining Hive and not being committed, I never knew there are some juicy tokens underground in the Hive Engine wallet.
You know when you enter a home for the first time and the owner isn't around and because the home was wide open, you start checking everywhere in the home. You searched and saw beautiful designs, and the interior decorations. Suddenly, something caught your eyes towards an opening entrance that leads to only God knows where. You decided to follow the path as it kept leading you on. Then suddenly, you got to a door which gives you access to go in freely. At that moment, your mouth couldn't close again because of the mouth watering goodies you had seen. You were awed! Let me stop here since you've gotten what I am saying.
Since I joined Hive, my mind didn't take me to the Hive Engine wallet to check and see things for myself because I was like I don't have a business with that side except for my Hive wallet containing HIVE, HIVE POWER and HBD.
Then, one day, my mind wasn't settled as my eyes was going directly to clicking the Hive Engine wallet to see what is there. I clicked the wallet and to my surprise, I saw Proofofbrain token (POB) worth $23, I screamed and was like “how did it get there?” “Is it withdrawable or is it just there to keep feeding my eyes with audio money?”
I ran with all my strength to Discord to enquire from a friend who brought smiles to my face when he told me it can be withdrawable. I couldn't stop the smile and joy in my heart.
Guess what I did? I converted to Hive straight, sent to my Binance account and traded it. Should I say that was a moment I needed money to settle myself and the juicy part of Hive decided to flood my mind with happiness?
Ever since then, I stopped underestimating Hive and focused on it. That was part of what brought me back to the system and I became devoted since then.
Those juicy parts can be earned through the right use of tags and most especially when you engage.
So far when I look at my Hive Engine wallet, I smile knowing and relaxing that I am already making wealth for myself through staking most of the tokens.
Hive should be taken seriously and if you want to keep seeing those juicy parts of the Blockchain, it's time to be more serious and engage more. Build your circle here and remember that slow and steady wins the race.
