My dad is the kind of man that has always been skeptical about online investment and earning, he believes in working hard to earn your keep. It’s either physical money or money transferred to his bank account for a job well done by himself. While growing up, before he would give to his children any money, he would make sure we get something done in our home. Like a little chores or an errand just to pass the knowledge of nothing comes free in this life.
As at 2019, I was working in a pension company, after some months of payment, I decided to invest some of the money in forex trade because that was the reigning investment program back then. You see, I’m the opposite of my dad. I have this strong believe in investing on FinTech, digital currency, stock market and so on. I had little knowledge about everything so I gave a friend all my saving to help me with the investing.
She was good with her words, she convinced me about investing in the company she works and how they would be paying me ROI monthly for investing in the forex company. Th higher your investing, the higher your ROI I bought into the project immediately.
To cut the long story short, I lost both my investment and ROI, before then, I was scammed of 0.02BTC and the best part is when everything happens, I fail back to my dad explaining everything that has happen. I would tell him about my investment and how it failed.
Few days back, he asked me “What are your saving plans” One thing I have come to understand is that, whenever you’re saving, always give room for investment. Invest in something that will definitely bring back the return. Don’t just let your money sit in a centralized fund system, while they make the best of it, you struggle to give them more. I made a post on Basic savings techniques which I believe if many people apply this principle to their life, it would help them.

After explaining my Basic saving techniques to him, I hold him about investing on Hive. One thing I love about him is that he would always listen. He asked what is Hive all about and I started explaining to him like someone that is about to onboard a new user. I showed him how much I have earn from my write up, online campaign and the worth of my token.
He became skeptical again, I told him “If a platform can give you this for free, what do you think will happen when you invest your money and time into it” also, it not like they are giving you everything for free, you have to work to show yourself approve. That was the catching point, you see, my dad is someone that doesn’t believe in free stuff. He would always say, there is always a catch for every free thing.
After explaining the ecosystem, tokenization system too, the P2E, and more things that web3 has to offer. He said “I knew you have always been a smart child whose inquisitive nature will make a way for but make sure they don’t run away with your money like other people did”
By the ending of 2024, I want to show him what Hive has offered me and what more it can offer then I will make my old man a user of Hive.
