I'll set the scene for ya'...
It's late 2017. The bulls are starting their charge. The price of Bitcoin is smashing record highs and it seemed like every project out there, is a winner. ICO's funded multi-million dollar launches overnight. YouTube was alive with crypto experts pitching you 'guaranteed moonshots'. It was quite the time to be involved with crypto...
I had bought into Bitcoin a few years earlier and even got into mining Litecoin from an early stage. Of course, we won't go into how my company at that time sold all our BTC because...It hit $500 and it wouldn't go much higher. So we thought lol
But there was something else on the horizon that caught my eye...It was 'the blockchain that shall remain nameless' which eventually forked into....Hive!
If you scroll back far enough, you'll see what my approach was...I tried everything. This blockchain could be used for me to create content on and talked about what I was putting (what little I had) money into.
You name the ICO...I was more than likely putting a bit of cash into it!
I was convinced, everything was going to the moon and I'll become a multi-millionaire in a few months....
In a few months...The bear market began and for the next few years, it was misery in the crypto space...Except for this blockchain!
There was a passion brewing. Development was continuing regardless of the price of the token. And the community was a strong as ever. I'm not sure when I made the decision but looking back I'm glad I did!
My decision....Was to focus 100% on this blockchain and the projects being built on it!
...And ignore, everything else!
A lot of people stuck with Bitcoin (and made out very well), some chose Ethereum, others just seemed to bounce from project to project...I didn't pay attention to any of it and sep up my flag right here!
Some may say, 'You are an idiot for putting all your resources into one blockchain' and sure...Short term it may look that way, but here's something that my good buddy @taskmaster4450 has mentioned a few times on our podcast...
And I'm paraphrasing but:
"There are so many cool things out there in this space, but I simply cannot be everywhere!"
Hive is my big bet!
In fact, I've brought my entire business over to this chain and dragging my community along for the ride lol. So while I cannot tell the future, I have no regrets for my decision!
I own very little Bitcoin now...
Litecoin mining seems like a lifetime ago...
I hate Ethereum and do my best to stay as far away as I can from it...
Yup, all the eggs are right here in the Hive basket!
Time will tell if this is the right move for my family and my future. Everything in my heart of heart tells me, Hive will change everything online. The opportunities here are unlike anything I've ever experienced in over 2 decades of building businesses online...Nothing has got me more fired up and excited about that future!
So obviously, it goes without saying but...This is not financial advice. This is however, and I've mentioned this before....Time investment advice!
Be active here, show up every SINGLE day and put in the effort. Those simple day to day activities now, will have a massive benefit for you in the future.
How can I say that with certainty?
Because I didn't come here with deep pockets, I have the programming knowledge of a toad, and I am most certainly not a Pulitzer Prize winning author...
But 4 years into my journey, it's been the most rewarding experience of my professional life!
