So, I decided to change my blog's BIO.

in #hive-1466207 days ago


When I first joined the chain about 7 years ago, I had no idea what kind of content I would write, so I did not know what to include in my profile bio so I put poetry, but after 3 to 4 years, I realized that was not me anymore; I had written things that were not even close to what was in my bio.

I had epiphanies, I visited restaurants, did food reviews, market reviews, interviews with major Hive users, and I began creating picture and video content.

In fact, I recall making this outrageous post in 2021; I was filming a video of how my day went and needed to shoot in the bathroom, so I did.

I have done some outrageous things in the past, shared a lot of personal information that I probably should not have, and all of this to challenge my creative instincts.

I attended Hive meetups and realized that BIO did not cover the range of things I created, so I decided to broaden it and came up with this.



The previous one

Although I am not sure where this came from, I realized at the time that it was probably bogus, too much, and could pass for self-aggrandizement.

Maybe not

But, once upon a time, there was a lot of light in my life, so that could be the reason. So, I believe it was time to change everything.

Fortunately, it is not like a username that you can not change; however, my username has been my username for 13 years, and there is no need or reason to change it.

Then I started thinking about the type of content I would created over the last two years, and I realized it was probably more crypto-related; that was probably my true niche, my biggest passion, and the type of content I excelled at creating.

I started counting down to 2025 in 2022, and picking up crypto content topics means I can share what I've learned over the years, and here we are, finally.

No better way to learn than to teach you can try it out and see

Although I have chosen photography as a niche, I do not devote as much attention to it as I should. I also spend some time on crypto Twitter, and I occasionally create content to counter someone else's ideas or thoughts, and in the process, I have learned a few things over the year.

Thank you all

Fortunately, some Hive users have expressed interest in my type of content, engaging, endorsing, and supporting it.

Also, most of my finance post are somehow related to crypto, and some how I find ways to talk about crypto, even when I talking about general finance, perhaps it's an obsession, or maybe I just find the right crypto allusion in every real life financial circumstances.

So yes. I came up with something shorter and less colorful, and here it is.


The new one


Personally I do not think I create things like I used to, and that is because of a lot of things that have happened in my life over the last two years, and this is why I do not create things about myself anymore; does this mean nothing is going on with me?

No. On the other hand, if I decide to post things, pictures, information, receipts, or proofs of things that have happened in my life, it will still take months to discuss them, including my diagnoses, personal life, health, family, and other topics.

In fact, more has happened in my life in the last two years than in the previous five years spent on the chain.



You can be faceless On Hive, but not invincible or without wits

There are people on the chain who are completely anonymous, with no pictures, life history, family background, real names, or anything, and they interact with the chain on a daily basis, making connections, friends, expanding their interactions, and so on.

You do not need a face or to bring your real-life issues to the chain to make an impact, which is how Hive differs from web2, where you have to post a naked picture to gain traction.

So, my avatars remain the same; I have changed them once, but the current one is cool, even though I have cut my beard and they do not seem to match as well, but that is okay.

The dark picture hue in the background is an original image, and I still believe it is good and does not require any changes.

So, have you ever changed your bio? Or have you never paid attention to it? What is the first thing you want a potential follower to notice when they click to check out your blog, and what have you done to make it successful? Maybe you do not care about making an impression?

Such a creative move boss.
I think I'll need to do same.
Actually, the kind of post you drop that I engage with most times is about life and family, since I don't really know much about crypto and splinterlands.
But to be honest, your publications are worth checking out.
Enjoy your day friend!!

Well, I didn't know nada nothing at all about crypto when I came here. I learned along the way and still learning. I think learning exposes you to people and more opportunities as well. You should give it a go.

Thanks boss.
I don't know if we can connect outside hive, maybe Whatsapp?
My mobile no. +2348147112970.
I be feel more comfortable discussing there about certains concepts.

I'm sorry, but I don't give out my contact anymore. You can always ask me that questions you want honest replies to and I'll always make sure to truthfully reply

That's not an issue boss. I understand, everyone is absolutely security conscious nowadays.
Thanks!!

I have changed my “avatar” a couple of times, but that is about it. I have never shown my face, as I prefer to be anonymous as much as possible.

Yeah, I know you've never shown your face. There are people on Hive too who choose to be anonymous. Is this only for Hive or other web2 platforms where you have any account?

Hive is pretty much my only social media, I am only a consumer of content on X.

Oh okay, that's revealing. I have other socials, but for two years now, I haven't updated them.

I want to change my avatar too, but I just do not commit to the end of the process.
Certainly, I will get it done after a big change happens.
Peace

I don't really care much about my bio, i never knew my bio has something to do with the kind of content I create.

I guess this is a sign to change my bio to the kind of content I create on chain, my current bio is what I do off chain..

I love your new bio 😀

It doesn't really matter for some people, while it does for some others.
At the end of the day, it's just like going through ones social profile and realizing "oh I need to change this and that"

I have changed my bio once, I think, but mostly to reword the same idea, that I believe in blockchains and crypto.

Well I think re-wording works. Sometimes you feel like the old one don't work as much, perhaps because of some phrases.

The old one didn't seem as good because when I wrote it I was relatively new in the crypto space and kind of made a distinction between blockchains and cryptocurrencies, while now, I believe at least public blockchains are what they are because they have the financial incentives as crypto. Otherwise, they would be just some very inefficient databases, where likely none of their qualities would be guaranteed since block producers would not be incentivized to be honest or to keep the network honest, and users would have no incentive to use them.

I take my time to always read your posts, this is so motivating and interesting.
Thank you for always inspiring.
Regards

My Bio reads: "I am Nature lover.. ."
Any user visiting my blog wouldn't need to look twice to know that I am one because most of my contents are about nature. Ah, photography too. I think I have to add that. 😂

In the past I've written about crypto, marketing and finance, but now I feel more drawn to writing about nature.

Well that's good. I don't think it's bad to change it once in a while, or maybe just write everything you like to center your post on. I have read your posts, they are more of everything everything and with natural stuffs being the biggest, so yes.

Yeah, there's always one niche we always favor over other ones

I have never bothered with my Bio much. it sounds like something to look at if you have too much free time.

Yeah, it sounds like something that you should look at, especially when you need to give your profile a facelift lol.

I did consider changing mine some moments ago, but what's there right now, is a core aspect of what I love to do, although I don't personally engage more with it these days. I'm not sure if there needs to be a match between our bio and what we write about but yours now is more simplistic and straightforward, in a great way!

I am still sure to keep my bio unchanged for few years to come.
It is going to improve for sure but after some time
Thank you for sharing this life experience that impacts your creativity as an author on Hive.
