Lets look at Sloths journey back into Hive! A beginners guide of sorts!
As mentioned in several posts already this is my grand return to Hive, having tried to get into it many moons ago, then focusing on our own websites/social media networks, we're back to where we started, or half started! This time we mean business!
So... How to Hive?
Well... Let me take you on a journey! We go back to the end of August 2022!
Sloth "returns" to Hive, for the 4th time I think, but this time it's different! He's motivated, he has goals in mind and he's ALIVE and thriving!
But, the questions about Hive just keep building.
