Yesterday, 24th January, 2021 marked the end of three successful years on the Hive Social media. According to hiveblocks.com, the official explorer of Hive, my account @Uyobong was created on "2018-01-24 07:36:42" and started at 25 reputation point. It was exciting to try something new on a new technology - blockchain. I am very grateful to @Tomlee for being the first to have mentioned Steem to me that year. My journey from thence is nothing short of beautiful, motivating, inspiring and rewarding.
It thrills me to be one of the 1,646 users with verified accounts on the Hive blockchain. Within the past three years of being, it's been full of learning, learning and learning. Thanks to @Hivebuzz for the reminder and the wonderful creation. Each day comes with a pack full of new things I get to hear and know in the technology, finance and crypto world.
Hive has been my first virtual project which other projects coming would build on. I say this proudly as an owner of Hive. I am one of the millions of users who own the Hive blockchain and that I do with my stakes of crypto held on this chain.
It excites me to contribute to the build of the Hive project in the following ways over the last three years:
- Creating original contents
- Marketing the blockchain to friends, family, business associates via word of mouth and other socialmedia outlets.
- Onboarded over 100 users with over 50 sustainably engaging and making a living
- Used my office to educate new users about the blockchain
- Marketing the blockchain through charity products.
- Using the proceeds from the blockchain to power other personal projects thereby giving real value to the HIVE and related crypto.
- Receiving HIVE and Hive tokens as payments for products I sell and services I render.
- Presently building an education solution project on this blockchain.
I must say that over the last three years, I have hardly engaged this socialmedia earned several batches of honour, some of which include:
- Over 1,600 posts
- Over 7,500 comments
- Over 21,000 upvotes (likes) given out which is accompanied with $1,655.37 worth of crypt - HIVE, LEO, SPORTS, LIST, CTP, STEM, PAL, NEOXIAN, CCC, ARCHON, and many more other tokens.
- Received over 6,500 replies.
It thrills me to have given out comments more than I received over the past three years I have spent on Hive blockhain.
The engagement were not without it rewards. My data used over the last three years have been well accounted for, catered for and it yields dividends. Indeed, it holds true that data is gold when used on a decentralized socialmedia.
I have successfully earned as much as $16k worth of CRYPTO over these years. The value were computed at $0.145 HIVE price and $0.47 LEO price. Other tokens depend on the above two prices.
It is interesting that I became a key stakeholder in some projects on Hive such as @LeoFinance (LEO, LEOM, LEOMM) @Sportstalksocial (SPORTS) @Clicktrackprofit (CTP, CTPM) @Hivelist (LIST, HUSTLER, HUSTLERM) @Chary (CHARY) @Actifit (AFIT)and many others.
At this juncture, I can say that I joined a true socialmedia where free speech is celebrated and one earns tangible value for his time, data and knowledge shared.
We keep building HIVE as we begin the journey into the 4th year. I hope to double the figures by Jan 24, 2022 when I'll be celebrating my 4th anniversary.
Special thanks to all the many supporters. Permit me to mention a few person of them @Ejemai @Sirknight
