Long ago in 2012 during my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), I knew down in my heart that I needed something much more valuable than a 8am to 4pm job that would make me redundant. I told myself, one of those days, "you would become an employer and not an employee". Those words were heavy, yet, they were very prophetic. Today, I co-pwn one of the wbiggest Blockchain in the world - Hive. The drive to becoming an employer was financial and time freedom that civil service jobs do not provide.
I ventured into several entrepreneurial activities from Creative /Technical Writing to Printing and many more, I was introduced to STEEMHIVE on January 24, 2018 by @Tomlee, and since then, a new entrepreneurial investment option was added to my profile - Blockchain and Crypto Blogger and Enthusiast. I owned a wallet and started earning digital currencies in addition to my fiat earnings. Soon, my eyes were opened to the several investment options available in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere.
On reading this writing prompt by @Theycallmedan, I started penning down several things I have been able to achieve over the last near three years of my romance with Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. They are quite inexhaustive and the list would always be lengthy as we move into the future. Even if no other user would have what to say on this, I have lots to share. I trust I'll be able to inspire another person out there that is seeking financial freedom. Thanks Dan for thinking this.
With my experiences and testimonials over the past months, I can say that I'm ready to integrate blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in all of my business and career endeavours. So far, many of that have started and the future looks brighter and brighter. Many who are frequent with my logs would attest to the fact that my contents consist well around 40% of my personal experiences. I deliberately write those experiences to encourages as many readers pout there who are yet to understand how much blockchain tech and cryptocurrency can impact their finances. Just have fun reading my entry on this initiative.
Testimonials so far...
The impact of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain on my finances has been enormous. Let me elucidate the following. Earnings from Hive (Crypto) were my only source of income during the covid-19 lock down periods. Then, $300 was averagely achieveable on monthly basis and that was enough for basic family needs.
Over the past years of my contact with and earning crypto, my investment life has been boosted. With the typical powering up of 50% of Hive earnings, it crates the savings consciousness and with the aility to curate, that shows the investment aspect which allows the stakeholder to earn curation rewards passively.
Within the last three years, I have comfortably enrolled young perople to be trained on Content creation and other basic ICT courses in my Hub in Uyo, Nigeria and that has been given freely. The basic expenses of running the Hub is funded by my Hive earnings. More important is the fact that my trainees have been duly enrolled to Hive ti also earn crypto and some of them have become family bread winners.
Today, I am sustainably employed on Hive as a content creator and I earn as much and even more than my counterpart who are in the Civil and Public service. Unemployment is real in my country, yet, I do not live as an unemployed.
I have shared in the following posts several heights in investment and monetary value gathered from Hive and Hive tokens:
- @uyobong/i-m-comfortably-employed-as-a-content-creator-consumer-on-hive-usd474-earned-for-writing-about-finance-and-crypto-only-in
- @uyobong/my-monthly-leo-curation-earnings-alone-surpasses-minimum-wage-in-nigeria
- @uyobong/second-layer-curation-still-my-best-investment-option-on-hive-i-gave-out-usd150-and-earned-usd123-in-form-of-leo-and-sports-in
- @uyobong/life-of-a-motivator-on-hive-usd12-earned-over-the-last-week-for-curating-sports-contents-thanks-to-hivestats-io
Simply put, I have earned over $6,300 USD worth of Hive tokens in addition to over $1,100 USD worth of HIVE itself. This financial feat has been attained in less than three years.
The Future...
I've learnt about sustainability which means meeting the present needs in a way that does not forfeit the blessings of the future. My financial gains with Crypto is never something I see as a means of livelihood today alone, it also rolls into the future. Soon, I am hopeful that mass adoption would hit the Crypto and blockchain space and everyone in the world would be potentially rich despite their status.
I seeing a future whereby all my businesses would integrate Blockchain technology and crypto into its design. I have been handling an "academic" inclined project (in development stage) before coming to know about crypto. I'm glad that the project was stopped for sometime has been revived and we'll definitely have a feel of blockchain tech. I have learnt over these years of crypto knowledge that content consumption could also be a source of earning cash.
There are plans to maximize the tokens I am investing in to solve related real time projects in terms of education, charity, agriculture, business development, and ICT. This and many more are just a few of the available options that can touch humanity sustainably and deeply. I look forward to scaling my eCommerce endeavours through Crypto.
We be Billionaires before "40"
One of my younger brother has it on his social media timeline "we be millionaires before 30". I so loved it the day I read that financial goal of his and was really inspired. I had passed that age limit years ago and would rather look forward to the next benchmark of "40". However, I'm aiming at being in the "Billionaires' list" by then. This is quite very possible with cryptocurrency.
My drive towards acquiring wealth is to build humanity. My faith in God and my greatest motivation as a Christian is to love God and love People. The world wasn't created for "things" but for "people". We are the essence of the universe. For me to be able to leave my world better than I met, I'm driven to add value to people's lives. This, I would continue to do with my future Crypto Wealth.
