Confessions of a still very much the 'Newbie'

When it comes to hive, blogging, and crypto I've been a bit slow on the uptake.

I was reminded last month that back in 2013, when I'd first started a Carnival band in Trinidad, I had a client ask if they could pay for their carnival costume using Bitcoin. At the time, I had no understanding of crypto, of how to hold onto them, what a wallet was, and as I needed the liquid cash inflow, I declined.

Bitcoin was valued at 1 BTC = £11.
Had I accepted them and held onto them, right now I'd be sitting on £3.5 m.
Hindsight is always 20/20. Spilt milk and all that.

Roll forward to the latter part of 2019, as we first approached lockdown, and a friend of mine Hive account@diveratt encouraged me to come onto Ecency / Hive. Over the last five years I've dipped in and out but never really got to grips with how it works.
How to vote, power up, power down, how much you vote, etc... it's all still a bit of a foreign language at the moment.

That said. Having decided to move away from mainstream Social Misleadinger, I'm hoping to dedicate a lot more focus toward blogging and posting here. Mostly travel and photo related.

Particularly as I learn more about communities, tags, hive, blogging, and how it all works.

After five years, I'm still very much a 'Newbie'
