So, I've been using my Hive punk as my profile image for my workplace account and many people have wondered what it's about. At first, it was all jokes because the punk actually looked like one of my team members that I was fond of but after he left the company, people wondered why I still had it.
During a recent team meeting, the conversation about my avatar came up again and I was put on the spot to explain why I still had it. It wasn't an official thing or anything, it was more like an inquest about the pixelated icon beside my name.
I explained to my team mates that I in fact own this picture and any likeness of it because I have verifiable proof. They said they'll just take a screenshot and I said, well, go ahead but if anyone asks, I'll just say it's my picture they're using.
To be fair, it was all in good spirit and more whimsical than it probably sounds in the previous paragraph. Anyway, this then led us down the rabbit hole of NFTs and I ended up explaining how NFTs work and how they're the future of digital ownership.
I'm a crypto shill through and through, but at the same time, I let people come to me. Having something that sparks people's curiosity tends to bring them closer, and then you can hit them with the shilling.
My entire life is a testament of the immense value of crypto. I've seen my life change dramatically over the years and it is all because I took a risk somewhere down the line that paid off.
I've been cut off from the pump and dumps in the crypto industry in recent times but I have enough skin in the game to know that there's never a "last train" in this fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies. Opportunities will present themselves again and when that happens, I'll be ready to pounce on them.
For now, I'll just continue putting in the hours at work and grinding for my daily bread. I'll be saving crumbs, piling them up until they fill baskets and just like Jesus, I'll try to convert it to a miracle that feeds five thousand.
