A very happy Birthday to Hive and all of us who made Hive possible.
A few years back when life was going smoothly on the previous blockchain, a sudden turn of events made us all fret and panic and some even left crypto altogether but when the 'Sarathy's' aka Charioteers of Hive decided to fork and form Hive, many of us took the brave step to move and follow their footsteps and start afresh.
Hive was a new beginning.
A new beginning for those who believed in crypto and the magic it could perform and transform the lives of ordinary men and women. Hive did not succumb to the pressures that were poured on top. The challenges were many but the presence of the community was strong so that even if many people tried to manipulate, none of it mattered and now we are all celebrating yet another birthday, and the journey will continue.
What has hive done for me and others?
Hive has done so many things for me and many others who depend on this blockchain. It is not just another earning platform like many others that previously existed on the internet like Squidoo, Helium, or Hubpages.
With the help of Hive and the tokens associated with it, so much good has been done and we all saw the emergence of Hive tokens like Leo, Bro, IUC, LGN, and many more coming up, and Neoxag that were already present helping many a member across the globe with projects such as 
Splinterlands is another name for Steem monsters and it grew by leaps and bounds and brought in many more gamers and it has grown to be the number one crowd puller towards Hive.
How is Hhive different from other cryptos?
Hive is built for the people by the people and it is used by the hiveans who use the platform to blog, vlog, game, and whatnot. It spreads cheer through photographs, and gives the traveler ideas about where to visit and when through blogs on travelfeed.io, and financial advice through Leo and there are many more such communities both niche and otherwise.
Hive is unique and the user who blogs on hive need not wait for a minimum amount to cash out nor does he need anybody's permission to do so. So, if you are a user who blogs frequently, please consider joining Hive and giving it a try. There are many topics to write about from many front ends on Hive like for example, the cinetv.io that gives a complete page of blogs related to movies and tv shows.
You ask and Hive has an answer. A database full of blogs that can give you an idea.
The people who vote for good quality blogs are the ones responsible for the upkeep of Hive. Therefore, one can always be assured of quality blogs.
Join me in wishing Hive a very happy birthday.
