I purchased my first crypto when hive was launched and bought at 22 cents. I saw it dip and then now, wow. But I'm in it for the long term. I'm here because of my music, so I'm happy I'm contributing for something greater and in the long-run, when the rewards are much much higher, there may be opportunity to earn a decent living.
Long live the Hive!
Couldn't agree more and you're super lucky if Hive was you'r first crypto 😅... when I joined Steem it cost ~$3 per token, and watched it falls for over year while still posting and using the platform. That experience proved to me that decentralized social media wasn't all about the rewards, many of us fell in love with the platform even while seemingly losing our initial investments. Hive is like a blessing in that regard, everyone who held on through the Steemit mess is now getting rewarded.
