Today I would like to talk about myself, about my choices and about what was my approach with HIVE since I started and right now.
I have been using HIVE (before Steemit) for many years with an interest that went up and down quite often and not because my focus was on the coin's value, if not how busy my life was, also how my approach with the community was.
I have been writing regularly in the past years and I liked to idea to write in Italian, my mother tongue, which would make my writing smoother, not caring about grammatical mistakes, then a big hated whale started upvoting my posts (at the beginning, I was very happy about it as I was not cashing out if not powering up everything) then I started receiving downvotes just because of that whale.
I was pissed off and I decided to poweroff everything I had. Now and then, I was coming back to check news and to read some posts, but my heart was hurting.
In the last couple of months, I started writing again and I have been using the AI to gather news that were selected and reworded to create a post that was partially written by AI (about 30/40%). After a month or so, again, I have been downvoted by the community. This time, instead of being angry, I was happy as I felt the community was not left by itself where only "cheaters" were left writing and taking advantage of the upvote system.
Do you know what I did after that?
I decided to give HIVE another chance, and I have been investing the majority of my savings in it again. Then, instead of using the self-upvote, I decided to give my entire delegation so other people could get an advantage from it. I have been talking to
whom I have known for a long time, and I have told him I plan to accrue as much HIVE as I can to become a small whale. Let's see if I will manage it!
Will HIVE go up again??? What do you think about it? Was my investment a big mistake???
Well, if I am still here in the Crypto World is because of HIVE, I feel I owe the community a lot!
