I discovered a major game changer. At least to me.
Recently I learned Ionomy, the site is not giving people their coins or their coins stay stuck in limbo.
Then I posted about it asking folks if they knew what was happening. The one thing about social media, if you want to call Hive social media, don't assume someone is up to date on everything.
Someone posted that they use Simple Swap to send their Hive to whatever crypto they want to their crypto wallet for USD. And they had zero issues with Simple Swap,
How is this a game-changer? Well when my earnings dropped, I started struggling to keep up. I joined this site due to autism and how it was impossible to find accessible work, now I am blogging part-time due to chronic illness and my disability check only lasts for so long. It at least allows me to start content creation from the bottom full-time since I am unable to work and hold down a normal job. Everyone is different and disabled/chronically ill folks unable to work shouldn't be judged based on someone else's ability.
Now, Ion's fees could have been why I struggled despite the dip
if I get 60 dollars and Ion's fees take 30, then I only have 30 bucks when using a site with lower fees would have left me with say 55.
I also asked how I could swap my Blurt since Blurt is not on many exchanges. It's on Ion but now the site is not giving people their coins.
Someone said I can use the Hive Engine and I saw I had coins I didn't know existed.
I assume they're from communities I posted to in Hive.
And the community rewards you with coins for posting/curating I assume.
This could help me out now that I know about these coins. I accumulated a lot of them. This can help despite the earning dip because I can convert them to Hive. Simple Swap only has solid HIVE.
I still need to collect the minimum amount of Hive for ETC or LTC.
Once I do that and can do a test trade, I may make another blog post to better compare Ion to Simple Swap. I think the minimum amount is an important detail so you know what you need to send to avoid high fees.
I am also going to expand on the content I post here because I am not uploading on YouTube every day anymore.
This will help keep the viewer engaged while they wait for more content.
