Education is a lifetime journey, we get to learn everyday.There is a lot of knowledge I have gained in the hive blockchain since I joined. I still remember when I started my first introduction post was not really supported because I really understood what to do and how to do it right. But since that day I must say I have been discovering so many new things. No man knows everything we get to know more when we continue learning and that's why education is a lifetime journey.
One of the benefits of hive I have enjoyed as a person aside from the monetary value is knowledge, I'm sure there are a lot of people in this category too. Getting on hive I understood cryptocurrencies more. I had some basic knowledge about crypto and am sure everyone must have heard of it before even if you don't really understand what crypto is but almost everyone has heard about it. Some people have been upholding the wrong information about crypto and that was how I also knew crypto before now. I have seen people who were victims of crypto scams to even make it worse my close uncle was a victim, he lost some much money and was at the point of committing suicide.
Because of this stories I witnessed I lost interest for anything called crypto not until I was introduced to a different platform where I didn't need huge amount of money to start, when I was introduced to hive I was having the mindset of let me just try and see what it's has to offer because deep down in me I know there are real crypto platforms but hard to find so I decided to give hive a try because there is no crime in trying something new.so I did as times goes on the narrative keeps changing and changing.
The very first day I made so withdraw from hive, my trust for cryptocurrencies start increasing, I was very careful not to share it with my family members first just in case it crashed within one or two months because that how c
Most scammers crypto platforms have always been. But week past, month and a year I was convinced that hive is a real crypto platform and a decentralized system. By then I was sure and proud to share the testimony, my testimony about hive has brought some many of my friends to join the blockchain, the likes of @emyligh, @phyna, @divabright and many others who are now grown people on hive.
Investment:
Hive has taught me a lot about investment, I didn't only know about Investment I have also put it into practice, there is a difference between knowing and doing, I get to do both when I came to hive. I started investing in the hive-engine tokens then I expanded it to Splinterlands assets, I have talked about my investment so many times in the platform and the benefits I have enjoyed so far. Not just about Investment I also understood the power of savings this is one thing hive does to everyone by putting some part of your earning into automatic savings which is the HP.
Hive has been my personal mentor that has helped me build and grow myself, this is one thing hive is an internationally building people, I have grown in my writing skills, my thinking skills and gaming skills as well. Most especially I have learnt patience, everyone who has been on hive for more than a year now must have learnt patience in one way or the other, the learning pattern which is not a guarantee on every post is enough way to teach me patience. Initially I came to #hive because of the money but I have stayed for the hive community.
In summary,
Hive has taught me a lot of lessons that can't be monetized. One of them is getting to meet different people around the globe and making friends. Honestly, so of the people I have met on hive have become more than a friend to me as we get to talk and relate even outside hive blockchain. I believe I have many many other things to learn and earn as long as I'm still engaging hive.
