You were so young when you joined hive. Oh my goodness. Four years since you started blogging and see how far you've come. Consistency truly is one of the many keys to success. I started blogging at about same time as you but after the hardfork I stopped for a period of two years plus or so and now I'm back, I'm trying to find my feet.

I haven't earned much from hive since I came back but it's a good thing that the hardfork transformed the steem we had then into hive given me double money...😄😄 If I can call it that. When I heard that everything you have on steem was duplicated on hive, I was very excited. This was because I just started diving into other aspects of crypto, investment to be precise and I needed some money to buy some tokens. Then pancakeswap had just launched their token cake and it seemed to be the talk of the town and I wanted some of it. The only way I could purchase some was selling hive. I did and I invested in pancakeswap and a $100 investment turned to thousands of dollars investments. It was a defining moment in my life. A lot of my life problems were solved. Although I staked in their farming pool and the dip hit so bad that the thousands of dollars vanished and I'm left with almost nothing, I still appreciate the fact that a lot of things I have achieved today was because I had some hive to sell when I needed it the most. Hive changed my story and I'm grateful.

Apart from money, hive has helped my writing become better. If I ever am to pursue writing as a career, with the amazing writers and great writing tips this platform has bestowed on me, I have no doubts I would excel.

Would I recommend hive to a friend? Yes of cos. There is nothing like an emergency bank account. That's the way I see hive. Given the economic situation of the country it is important for someone to have other sources of Income.

@oredebby is someone I know has benefitted a lot from hive and I'm sure she has an interesting story to share.

Happy anniversary and keep hiving!
