Draw your lines, but don't make them straight...
That was supposed to be the ending line of this post, but I'd say it fits better as an opening one. I was going to make this a "Bitcoin dip episode" type of post, but it doesn't make too much sense now.
Hive does a lot of sense though, cuz Hive's running through my blood. I'm a Hive fanatic and addict and will probably have to deal with this illness for the rest of my life.
I've got a job offer today from someone living in my hometown, a quite renowned business owner around here. He's created a company that sells rebranded products from China on Amazon US and they need someone to handle some of the business, someone who does English pretty good and knows how to use a computer...
Looks like I'm the perfect guy for that :D.
Turned it down though, although the payment was more than decent for the job. I don't see myself working regular jobs for regular people anymore in this "new normal world". I'm part of this community(Hive) for almost four years now. Hive has "paid me" when no one else did, has gave me a purpose and healed me from the mental breakdown I was having four years ago.
This thing has served more dopamine shots to my brain than porn ever did. Hive is life. Hence I can't trade it for any legacy job, wouldn't do that even if it paid 3X Hive does. This thing is of the future, it's a snowball that just started rolling.
Even a bear market wouldn't make me choose the other way. Have a look at HIVE's chart for the past year and compare it with any crypto you like, Bitcoin included. Whenever the market has crashed, HIVE has barely moved. Even yesterday when everything looked like falling from the sky, this thing has only lost a coupe of cents in dollar valuation.
Hive is not a work place, it's much more than that. A workplace can be warm and cozy and you have a monthly paycheck that offers a bit of financial stability, but I love this nonsense volatility none the less and I love being part of this revolution. I've been able to put out two posts a day on a daily basis for a few years now, on this blockchain.
My universe spins around crypto, 99.9% of my content on Hive is somehow crypto/finance related, so how can I simply put my blog on a pause and start working in sales all of a sudden? That wouldn't be me... I was dreaming of such thing before I even knew Hive exists.
For years and years I wanted to do some internet related shit that would make me money, be fun and where I'd be my own boss and manager... Now I have it and will not waste this chance. As long as I can afford my frugal living with this thing, I'm sticking with Hive. It's paid better than any investment I ever had.
It is my legacy and I feel like the show is just getting started. Wait until we'll have project blank on the table... So, I don't know how much you like me, but you'll probably see my posts in your feed for long time ahead. I don't know if I'll reach @taskmaster4450 level who said on twitter he wishes his last breath to leave him while pushing the post button on Hive, but my conviction is strong.
I'm a crypto fanatic and you can't lure such folks back in the jaws of the legacy system with fiat money. I was born for crypto...
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
