The currency of the internet is yet to be determined although Bitcoin was supposed to become that and there are probably high chances that we won't have just one of those. As the tokenization process of all sort of activities is expanding, that concept of currency of the internet will evolve into the currencies of the internet.
To some extent HIVE has managed to act as such, along with LEO, Leofinance's main token, and gradually as prices have climbed a bit higher than their bear market levels monetizing content on Hive blockchain has become life changing for some, myself included.
I was scrolling through my Leofinance feed yesterday and stopped on a post that was curated by @onealfa. I already recognize those quite easily based on their payouts. His vote, probably at 100% VP, was worth 82 LEO which at the current price levels of LEO($0.60) is worth around $50. Divide that by two and you have $25 in post rewards for that user/content creator generated by one man.
30 such upvotes a day would generate someone an average monthly income in my country. That's indeed something, and it only comes from one user(Toruk). Imagine how much wealth will Hive generate if we would have a few curators such as @onealfa. He's not the only one doing a great job curating and being a 100% organic curator as well, but from what I know he's the heaviest around here.
Hive, despite being highly undervalued and lagging a lot to other cryptocurrencies dollar valuations and price performances this bull market, has managed to make a difference in some content creators lives. If you're someone earning $5,000 to $10,000 a month then you're posts payouts don't matter that much for your personal finances.
But when you're someone who's only source of income is crypto and such social media platforms such as Hive, then you know Hive is really something. It's a real project providing for you in real life and such whales as Onealfa are true wealth generators.
If you're a newbie and reading this post while thinking at the same time that you should start posting anything on Leofinance community or do that in excessive amounts you'd better think twice. There's always two sides of the sword and this curator that I mentioned above is well known for cleaning the platform of spam as well.
I don't know how many currencies of the internet we will have by the next after the halving bull cycle, but I sure know we have at least one, and that's Hive. This thing is paying my bills for months, it's generating life changing income for quite a few users around the world and will keep on expanding, I have no doubt about that.
The era of abundance that is mentioned by @taskmaster4450 often times on his blog is not necessarily about riches, champagne and caviar. In my opinion it translates better to the reality of making a living no matter your geographical location through all sort of means available on this blockchain. It's about overcoming adversities, putting technology to work, generating internet money and distribute them widely and enjoy free time.
When I created this account I was thinking that at some point I will be able to make a living out of this activity, but I wasn't sure about that. I was never thinking of getting rich from this thing and I don't think it's possible, unless you find a way of draining the rewards pool and get everything for yourself, which I would not encourage anyone to do, and neither find that possible, but it's definitely worth investing your time, efforts and energy.
Blockchain is a technology that will revolutionize many industries and although many of us don't probably realize it, we're indeed early adopters. If you're more than happy with your so called Hive income right now, imagine how's that going to change in five or ten years from now. You have to still be around here to be able to enjoy all of that. It took me about three years to finally call myself a truly monetized content creator, but it was definitely worth the hustle.
Hive is a product that has real world use case, it's been providing for quite a few users around the world and sooner than later it will have its well deserved place on the market. It sometimes take time to achieve something worth achieving, but waiting is definitely worth it.
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
