This was a lot to take in. I know a lot of people can relate. I might not be neck deep on hive, but I was on Steemit. After the crash in 2018, I realized how important it was to have other businesses asides crypto. I was working two jobs but had to resign from one of them so I could have enough time to write and engage with other steemians.
At the end of the day, all I want is happiness. I don’t want to be miserable so I am focused on being content with my situation. I’ll definitely aspire to achieve more but not at the detriment of my mental health.
So many came into Steem at the end of 2017 and thought it was the new normal , that prices would keep going up and they would keep earning steadily. By mid 2018 - they were claiming "scam!"
Hybrid approaches and multiple income streams is the way to go.
