Hive is a public blockchain and that is why it's a sea of infinite information. It just keeps growing every day. Most of the time you need to go a few levels deep to extract something valuable. Two things can help you do that with ease:
- Curiosity
- Observation Skills
Curiosity is a personality trait that goes hand in hand with the power of observation. Great thing is that you can develop both of them over time and make your personal and professional life easier. In this blog, we will see why they are important to have if you want to grow quickly on Hive:
Curiosity?
Curiosity is the desire to learn or understand something. It's what gets you interested in the world around you. Being inquisitive makes us look beyond the surface, ask questions and develop critical thinking skills that we'll need throughout life. Curiosity on Hive helps you find cool things about others, what they do, the people they hang out with and support, investments they make, and most importantly, how they grow:
- Keep asking questions, no matter how silly they feel. Use the comment section to solve your doubts. Upside: you might get occasional upvotes.
- Try experimenting with your content to see how others react to it. Don't be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone.
- Read blogs & articles or watch videos to gain more knowledge about the ecosystem
- Use Tools like Hivestats to track your progress and optimize your rewards. In a similar way you should explore Hivetasks to complete or automate your Hive-related tasks
- Learn coding if you can. It's the best skill you can learn in today's time since the software is eating the world slowly. Talking to computers and giving them instructions is god-like power and it can give you access to information that others can only dream of getting.
In a room full of people, I behave like a 5-year-old who keeps asking stupid questions. Do the same on Hive because it can lead to all sorts of things you may not experience otherwise.
Observation?
I think we all know how important it is to pay attention to the world around us. The same is true on Hive. Being curious will definitely help you develop great observation skills. How to leverage this power on Hive?
- If you ever want to know how people earn Hive in unique ways, just go ahead and check their wallets. Choose any successful creator, developer, or investor you like to see how they are making money and the projects they invest in
- For example, you can access anyone's Hive-Engine wallet through this link - https://hive-engine.com/@finguru/wallet. Just replace my username and you will be able to all the details about the tokens they own.
- Join discord channels of different Hive Projects and communities. Talk to different people and see what they are doing and how they are interacting with other people.
- Notice the different writing and formatting styles of your favorite creators. This would help you understand why they are better than you and what things you can pick from them to incorporate in your own content.
- Similarly, you can go ahead and look at someone's transactions on hiveblocks.com/@hiveusername.
