One of the first things I do in the morning and also before I go to bed is check my hive/leofinance feed for new posts and for new replies to my posts that may need immediate assistance.
What about you?
I had never wondered why. Why do I come and post on hive every single day? Why do I use this medium so much and so often?
I was asked this question during my interview for a research and at that moment I thought .. "I bet many people ask on the internet" Why should I use any of these so-called decentralized social media?
In this post, I will share my point of view about why I post here. The reasons why I choose to visit this platform and spend as much time as I do.
I would like to read your opinion below, do you agree? Would you like to add something?
I will post the questions in an interview-like way, and they will be at the end of this post in case you would like to post about it to a different post.
Let's start with ..
How many hours a day do you spend on hive?
If you add up the different times of day that I enter, using a variety of different front - ends such as hive.blog, peakd.com, leofinance.io, ecency app etc - I would say that at least 2 hours a day I am active here. I need to say that due to my job, I spend a number of hours every day on my laptop too.
Do you often visit other decentralized social media?
Yes, but not so often and not always on a daily basis.
Why do you use hive on a daily basis?
.1. H-o-m-e
Hive feels like my internet home. I can find out any topic I wish to read about, I can search out in different communities or with different tags, ro check out what my friends wrote about. I learn both the crypto news, and also the news about hive platform and every update there is to know.
News, Entertainment, Fun
.2. Curate
Curation means upvoting the post that a user likes.
Whenever I read an interesting post, I upvote(like) it. This way both the author of the post, the other people who upvoted (liked it), and me, are earning cryptocurrency tokens.
More info about how curation works here
.3. Interact with the community
I always check for comments on my posts and also comment to other users' posts when I have something meaningful to ask or share.
.4. A post a day ...
I try to always post one post every day. The subjects are not the same every day. Sometimes I post about something brand new that I have found out and wanted to share, sometimes I post tutorials about apps that I use or reviews and sometimes I participate in challenges or post travel / photo posts. I try not to leave any day without posting an (always unique and original) post on the hive blockchain.
If you wish to check out some statistics about your number of posts etc, check out the special website: https://hivebuzz.me
.5. Wallet checking
Hive is so much more than a social media. It is a blogging / crypto news / photography / gaming / bank platform -- you can do here pretty much anything you can think of!
I often visit my wallet to see if I have to claim rewards, if I need to put HBD to the savings (earning 20% APR) or anything else that may be new to try it out!
Two of the things I will check out soon are checking cubdefi after some time & delegating some hive to OCD check out why by @acidyo
(NFA - DYOR as always!)
.6. Safe
I was asked .. why do you use hive over other social media?
My answer .. I feel that my content & funds are safe here.
.7. Learning
If you know me for sometime, then you know my opinion about learning. I strongly believe that we need to obtain knowledge, especially when it comes to such new technology and to such groundbreaking changes that are shaking the world's financial systems.
I have started (and continue to this day) to use decentralized social media and to attend a variety of courses, seminars that have to do with digital currencies.
The best way to learn is always 'hands on training', but always, always with safety in mind!
Bonus
I love doing giveaways, and it is so easy to do it via hive/leofinance :) I just choose the how and since all users have integrated wallets with their account, it is so easy to send them the tokens after they win! No fees, No extra trust needed! In just a few secs!
There are many more reasons, but let's keep it short for now!
It is your turn to either write a post about it and tag me (use also the tag #whyhive) or to write below what I may have left out :)
Thank you for your always valuable input!

Hive blockchain has a home feeling and the communities from here embrace every user with common interests and empowers him or her to grow. You find great support from other users and you get to do what you like and on top of that earn. What more could you want?...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree ..
One of the things I forgot to write is the inspiration I get from reading and from interacting here.
Thank you!

Great reasons and I can relate with all of them. Hive is my home office, kinda :) From January 1st of this year, I never missed a day without coming here. It's my only social media apart from Twitter and the other site where I blog on once in a while.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I ve always wanted to visit that other site more often but I barely find free time :)
Thanks for coming over!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I love Hive because it offers us a great opportunity in the area we want or are interested in. Here we can develop and even discover talents that we did not know. And the best thing for me is its vast financial possibilities, which start right here, at LeoFinance. I'm not leaving her for anything. Greetings.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly!
It is true that it gives us the power to improve our self and our skills!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol, that's an awesome reason to come over and a talent that lot of people are missing!

The whole concept of HBD savings is new to me. Can you link me an article to read to better understand it? Or you can explain it to me too if it won’t be a bother:)
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Recently* it was decided to offer an extra incentive - 20% APR - to hive users when they put their HBD in the savings (3 days withdrawal period).
In order for the user to take it, they need to place their HBD into the Savings (you will see it in your wallet as an option)
Let me know if you have more questions :)
You can also check a recent post here https://leofinance.io/@davdiprossimo/deeper-dive-into-hive-s-stable-coin-hbd by @davidprossimo - a video with some links in the post.
*I think it was in April 2022
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for the explanation. I’ll check the video out:)
All very valid reasons to use Hive that I can relate to.
I didn't know the Hive ecosystem was this huge. I can see Dapps I've never heard of in that image.
When I start exploring, my mind cannot comprehend everything I find out .. :)

Thanks for visiting :)

I love that I can come here and have some great conversations with like minded people, I own the data, AND earn from it!
Hive has everything for your average, everyday user. We would be MASSIVE if we can just simplify the onboarding process, which I know is being worked on by several people!
Hive is FAM!
Loved this .. YES!
Hive is FAM :)
I forgot to mention that we own our data and that all our posts are kind of NFT, proving our ownership :)

Being active on Hive keeps you relevant and productive. It's also a home and a hub for content creators where you continue to learn and grow... add tokenization and monetization to the mix and it's a perfect recipe.
