The 17th of july marked my 4 year anniversary on the blockchain as Purepinay, a big milestone which I intend to celebrate with everyone that was part of my journey. It has been a real privilege to be part of this amazing community!
What started out as a pastime for me has become a comparable earning through my blogs, short posts, and even more exciting, I finally own my domain site on the blockchain, www.purepinay.blog through dblog.org hosting or previously called 
The blog name “purepinay” was the only thing I could think of that time when I was creating the account and since it cannot be undone after the creation. I have thought of rebranding and made other accounts but only “purepinay” sticks to what my blogs would be all about, random niches, from food, lifestyle (fitness, travel, and a day the life), and inspirations of bringing value to the Hive blockchain.
Even though there was a time where I was awol for a couple of months because I was expecting our first baby, I told everyone instead that I was working on a different project and kept my pregnancy and motherhood journey as a private matter but it was an extraordinary experience that I have yet to share .
I didn't realize that my Purepinay page on this blockchain might become more than a tiny digital public journal when I first started in July of 2017. If the tale about how this page came to be never heard, let me just give you a small narrative.
Four Years is now Behind
It was the old platform back then, called Steemit when it was first introduced to me by my partner. Although confused with all the technical terms, I spent almost all of my free time learning about the platform and a little bit about the blockchain technology.
After about two or three months on the platform, I finally discovered some different ways of investing time and money on the platform. I geared myself into a different direction, not just the blogging side but also the investing part.
Some people were asking me how I got that amount of money in my wallet. There was a point where my account value could buy a condominium in one of the most prestigious condominiums in Cebu. But it all started with my stock market earnings.
That day, when I decided to risk it all! I transferred all my stock market investment to Steemit. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make, with butterflies in my stock, I went ahead and took all the risk. And I told myself, if things won’t work, at least I have my grandparents farm, I can still live a sustainable farm life… the Hancedera life!
I earned my first million at the age of 27
Some people might say I got lucky but most people didn’t know how much time and money I invested in order to achieve that success. The big part of it wasn’t just about the money, but experience, the real struggle and growth that I had achieved. I collaborated, and hired some people to work on my blog page.
I gained almost 10k followers in just about four months!
There was a time where I had over 1,000 comments in one post, awesome! But I had the most stressful time of my life. It was something that people overlooked.
People thought it was a good thing to get bombarded with comments, but what most people didn’t know was that I was getting a really bad anxiety because of all this attention. My partner almost sent me to a therapist. So, I had to go off grid for about two weeks while some people were working on my Purepinay page making sure that I still got activities going on on my site. But the truth is, without my partner’s help, I don’t know where I would be right now.
It has been a roller coaster ride
But I believe everything happens for a reason and I admit I made a lot of mistakes all throughout this journey but those mistakes helped me where I am now and helped me become a better person.
I can say that I am in a good financial position in life and getting ready for our child’s great future. As I mentioned in my previous blog, we want our kid to be financially independent at the age of 25. I have been reluctant to share this online as I am a fan of watching documentaries and the other side of the real world out there, is somewhat a little scary and this is why I am reluctant in posting my baby’s face on the internet. Plus, we are living in a world where privacy and security is a real big issue. On a brighter note, I am proud to have a trustworthy partner whom I know would give all his life for his family.
Back to the Hive life
I hope to bring some spark to other people who are looking for inspiration in life and in the financial world. And this is why I joined the @OCD’s Onboarding Program because it is one of the best projects I have been a part of. Honestly, didn’t expect it would be as early as the first month when I planned the project in sharing the hive awareness to my fellowmen and to those who see the things that Hive has to offer.
You might be thinking, oh it’s because you get upvotes on your blog and posts, that’s why you’re still here. I want you to scroll back to my previous blogs where I was barely getting a dollar but this didn't stop me from posting.
There was a time when I had a really bad argument with my partner because he told me I was wasting my time when I am no longer earning anything with my posts, even on my long blogs. He wanted me to just focus on long term investment without spending my time writing and just let the money grow steady.
But for me, Hive is a self flexible lifestyle. I would just post whenever I want to, work on my blog on my own time and I gain profit directly from the revenue I receive regardless of the amount. And that is the beauty of working as a freelancer but there are a lot of perks that I also benefit from this. Like acquiring good friends, I was able to virtually and personally meet some people whom I have connected with on this platform. Whether it was because we shared the same interest or simply just virtual conversations that turned into a trust relationship.
Also, I truly believe that the ecosystem of Hive gives the real value of the Hive cryptocurrency. This includes the different communities, and I had emphasized this during my presentation on the first Hive Seminar in Cebu that I recently organized for Ocd’s Onboarding Program.
This time, I want to take a little time to appreciate how much this four year journey has transpired and the fact that everything has happened, as I have created my own tiny space online on this platform to share my thoughts, inspiration and story with others.
