I thought about the economy of the country today and realized how much crypto has been helping the lives of many when it comes to financial freedom. I can say this because I'm a living testimony and a witness. Several times, the government has tried banning crypto and anything that looks like it. There was a time something like a crypto ban was announced in China, and I think it affected bitcoin too.

If not for the outbreak of covid-19 in 2020, I don't know if I would ever be introduced to crypto world. Well, maybe, maybe not. I'm grateful I was able to find out about crypto.

I remember surfing the Internet, trying to find something I could do to earn money because we couldn't go out. Fortunately, I came across someone's post who is now a good friend. Through him, I was fortunate to join a crypto blogging platform which was my first ever. ( Uptrennd).

I started my blogging journey there. I was a complete novice when I started. I felt motivated because the more I wrote in the little way I could I was earning the toKen. Still, on that platform, dreemport university which was formally uptrennd university found me. I became a delta student, we were thought how to be better writers, assignments were given. All of those activities made me improve my writing skills. It wasn't just limited to writing alone, we were thought how to edit videos and how to be good at vlogging.

After being on that platform for about a year, it got closed down. I wasn't able to save most of my posts that were published there but the video are safe because they were first uploaded on YouTube.

I had left everything that had to do with writing, slowly I could feel my writing skill depreciating, I could feel that I was no longer being creative when it comes to writing. It didn't make me feel good. Four months after creating an account on hive, I returned. I would always struggle to come up with something to write. I was scared to put out nonsense to my readers, I know how I dismiss a post that doesn't interest me. I was scared that I may not be good at writing, I was already giving up on myself.

My life without hive.

If I had not met hive , I probably would have abandoned writing and would have lost every bit of creativity in me. I won't be able to share my passion, hobby and won't be able to express myself through writing. There is this joy I feel in my heart when I write my heart out, I would be lost if I had not met hive.

Life without hive would mean, a life without earning the hive token which has been helping me a lot. These days I don't feel the pressure of having to subscribe for data when I go offline because the hive token I earn help me in resubscribing when I sell a few of them .

I wouldn't have known about hive engines too. In the hive engine, you find other tokens that are earned on the hive blockchain like the pob token, vyb, Leo, dreem,loh, waiv, lolz, and many more tokens. I wouldn't have known that there is a generous platform that allows users to earn their tokens and other tokens still on the blockchain.

Life without hive would be boring. If I didn't give in my life, I wouldn't have been able to meet amazing writers and friends like @iskafan @khaleesii and I wouldn't have been able to meet my friend on uptrennd like @zellypearl @cescajove @kemmyb @kenechukwu97 @khrispyshots and many more.

If I had not met hive, I probably would be sleeping right now, or watching the tv, or exhausting data on other social media platforms that won't pay me for my time on their site. It would be boring, wasteful and meaningless.

I am glad that I have hive and it's helping me because better again with writing, it's helping me to be creative, it's helping me to earn more by allowing me to have a stream of income, it's helping me to meet amazing people.

I feel blessed to have hive in my life.

I would love to invite @ayesha-malik @sofs-su and @davidbright to join in

Hoy pensé en la economía del país y me di cuenta de lo mucho que las criptomonedas han estado ayudando a la vida de muchos en lo que respecta a la libertad financiera. Puedo decir esto porque soy un testimonio vivo y un testigo. Varias veces, el gobierno ha intentado prohibir el cripto y todo lo que se le parezca. Hubo un tiempo en el que se anunció algo parecido a una prohibición de las criptomonedas en China, y creo que también afectó al bitcoin.

Si no fuera por el estallido de portadas-19 en 2020, no sé si me habría introducido en el cripto. Bueno, tal vez otra cosa me hubiera introducido a ella. Estoy agradecido de haber podido descubrir el cripto.

Pierre Borthiry

Recuerdo haber navegado por Internet, tratando de encontrar algo que pudiera hacer para ganar dinero porque no podíamos salir. Afortunadamente, me encontré con el post de alguien que ahora es un buen amigo. A través de él, tuve la suerte de unirme a una plataforma de blogs de criptomonedas que fue la primera de mi vida. ( Uptrennd).

Empecé mi viaje de blogging allí. Era un completo novato cuando empecé. Me sentía motivado porque cuanto más escribía en lo poco que podía me ganaba el toKen. Aun así, en esa plataforma, la universidad dreemport que era formalmente la universidad uptrennd me encontró. Me convertí en un estudiante delta, se nos enseñó a ser mejores escritores, se nos dieron tareas. Todas esas actividades me hicieron mejorar mis habilidades de escritura. No sólo se limitó a la escritura, se nos enseñó a editar vídeos y a ser buenos en el vlogging.

Marcus Winkler

Después de estar un año en esa plataforma, la cerraron. No pude salvar la mayoría de mis posts que se publicaban allí, pero los vídeos están a salvo porque se subieron primero a YouTube.

Había dejado todo lo que tenía que ver con la escritura, poco a poco podía sentir que mi habilidad para escribir se depreciaba, podía sentir que ya no estaba siendo creativo a la hora de escribir. No me hacía sentir bien. Cuatro meses después de crear una cuenta en hive, volví. Siempre me costaba que se me ocurriera algo para escribir. Me daba miedo poner tonterías a mis lectores, ya sé cómo descarto un post que no me interesa. Me daba miedo no ser buena escribiendo, ya me daba por vencida.

Mi vida sin Colmena.

Si no hubiera conocido a hive , probablemente habría abandonado la escritura y habría perdido toda la creatividad que hay en mí. No podría compartir mi pasión, mi afición y no podría expresarme a través de la escritura. Hay esta alegría que siento en mi corazón cuando escribo mi corazón, estaría perdido si no hubiera conocido a hive.

La vida sin hive significaría, una vida sin ganar la ficha de hive que me ha ayudado mucho. Hoy en día no siento la presión de tener que suscribirme a los datos cuando me desconecto porque el hive token que gano me ayuda a volver a suscribirme cuando vendo algunos de los hive token.

Yo también desconocía los motores hive. En el motor hive, encuentras otros tokens que se ganan en la blockchain de hive como el token pob, vyb, Leo, dreem,loh, waiv, lolz, y muchos más tokens. No hubiera sabido que existe una plataforma generosa que permite a los usuarios ganar sus tokens y otros tokens que aún están en la blockchain.

La vida sin hive sería aburrida. Si no hubiera dado en mi vida, no hubiera podido conocer a escritores y amigos increíbles como @iskafan @khaleesii y no hubiera podido conocer a mi amigo en uptrennd como @zellypearl @cescajove @kemmyb @kenechukwu97 @khrispyshots y muchos más.

Si no hubiera conocido a hive, probablemente ahora estaría durmiendo, o viendo la tele, o agotando datos en otras plataformas de redes sociales que no me pagan por mi tiempo en su sitio. It would be boring, wasteful and meaningless.
