I have been on hive for 15 months due to Splinterlands. However excluding that splinterlands, the more precise timing is 12 months. That's the point when I started exploring other things on HIVE.

for me HIVE is a unique ecosystem, one side is like a social media where people share something, on other side we can see poeple making money here by mining / minting crypto from post, sometime this become like a big library where we can learn alot of thing, and many other side depend on the each preference.

for me hive is like a second life, place not just to spend time, but to grow and interact with others too
