Congrats! I'll celebrate 10 years fairly soon, which seems crazy. What is crazier that my account was worth 10x what it is now some years ago when I had far less staked. We've seen the highs, but now we are in the lows. An impressive number of people have stuck around as I think they understand the real value of the platform. Some just need the money, but it is hard to earn anything elsewhere. We have to get some balance of the different types of user.
I've not downvoted anyone in a while as it got too stressful and I get blamed for various crap anyway. Not that anyone can prove I'm nasty and anyone who knows me wouldn't believe it. I just try to stay positive and get on with life.
In case you ever have a change of heart I've secured this for you.
Lol! That's one I hope to never need.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I remember the good days when my wallet was a lot fatter with much less stake. No worries, those days will be back.
I always make sure I have a valid reason to downvote because I believe we need to keep Hive healthy and clean, to maintain an appealing and interesting feed. That's the first thing investors will see. As to the stress, I just ignore it.
I just made 8 years in April, so I am two years behind both of you. I often wonder what it was like those first two years before I got here. It must have been an adventure when it was brand new!
It was pretty wild with some crazy rewards on posts. I never made $thousands like some did. A lot of my early posts made nothing, but it was still fun. We need to get that excitement back.
I agree, there's nothing like the excitement of your first Top Earning Post!
I think there has probably been to much emphasis on earnings and to little emphasis on enjoying.
Stay positive. Don’t worry about the downvotes. Just have fun and you get rewarded every day. Keep creating …. Eventually Hive will go to $10 USD
I don't get many DVs, but that would not bother me too much. I can hope that Hive will go up again, but I wonder what could make that happen.
It will take one Investor finding out about Hive via X or YouTube.
Some Creators are earning $ 40,000 a week on X these days.
So lots of Fiat could pour in via X
