"Why are you here?" is the golden question.
I've simplified or clarified my macro goals in 2025 - I buy a bit of Bitcoin every week or month, and I buy $HIVE at the same intervals. Within HIVE I buy tokens from communities I think are neat - even if some may not be great investment prospects.
I effectively retired last year, so my goals are to create meaning and meaningful experiences in my personal and virtual life.
I like the HIVE network quite a bit, I've found myself enjoying writing stories more and more - I've been participating in the Freewriters community.
I also really started digging into various communities, curation tribes, and projects. There are a lot of genuinely neat things in HIVE that take some time to appreciate.
This year I'm going to attempt to get more effective at promoting HIVE - I'm doing that on Twitter now, and started a subreddit that I'm attempting to grow organically.
My whys probably look a bit different than someone trying to build a fortune or grow a nestegg with crypto and HIVE, but different stages in life naturally make for different priorities.
