Thanks Infinity ;-) maybe I'll accidently on purpose bump into you on the server too 😜And to answer your question. Financial rewards are always nice to have, of course they are, but I have always loved books, loved reading, loved writing. It's ingrained in my DNA. I thought I'd made that clear in my post lol. My book is for me. If I think it's good enough in the end, I will share it with others, but there is no thought of financial reward at the moment where that is concerned. And as I said, I joined blogging platforms initially just to push myself to write regularly, explore my creativity, and practice fine-tuning my own craft, so that I could one day return to my own book. It was supposed to be a means to an end...but through the joy I derive from engagement here, it has become a separate end in itself 💗 If I was only in it for the money, I could drop any number of posts on Hive each day that were not in my mind a reflection of me or a qualitative statement or burst of creativity. Get to know me... and you will understand me 🙏 I have made so many lovely connections here on Hive; some I treasure immensely, so why would I want to give that up? Being completely honest though, because that's who I am, now that I am on Hive and blogging and investing so much time here...and earning rewards with the rest of you, I'd be a fool to give that up and go and blog somewhere that doesn't value me as an author and curator, wouldn't I ;-) If I can one day spend more of my valuable precious limited time on this Earth, writing ie: persuing my passion, instead of doing financial analysis for a living, why shouldn't I😍 And unless I was a whale btw, I'd be taking a significant cut in "salary" to rely on Hive earnings alone as an author. I do hope that you find your passions one day. It is truly magical when you are able to pursue them on a daily basis and then see the possibility opening up that maybe...just maybe...you could do this one day and give up the daily grind, albeit for less monetary reward. Unfortunately, I don't have an abundance of free time as I have young children and a day job, so I have to make time for Hive in the evenings after my children are in bed. The allure of money is not what drew me in and it is not what keeps me here. It's the people. Just as at my current day job... I could resign and get a job elsewhere...but I don't...and you know why? Because of the people that I work with; they make it all worthwhile. Have a great weekend @infinitytcg😉

Ah from your post it seemed that you wanted to connect with kenechukwu more haha. Also @dreemsteem yeah it is just information overload for me haha cause mind you many of you have gotten to know each other through months on end while this month-2 I've got to know quite a bit of people with a ton of pretty indepth conversations hahah. Yeah I have to reduce my time in discords down to a few groups with chaos legions coming near. I'll definitely still drop by from time to time and hang out at some pypt as it is an interesting way to get to know people. As you know voice for me is far more efficient than reading and writing due to the nature of the speed and ability that I can still multitask.
@samsmith1971 yeah at one point to be honest I had you mixed up with another individual supersmith I believe or something like that maybe because of smith and the starting s's haha. Have you guys not considered hive itself as an investment vehicle or some of the other altcoins here? I mean hive just had a recent boost so not so sure it is the best now but can still go up, but there are other many interesting projects. There is SBI, VIP (not so fond of cause I have had several bad experiences with the guy in charge of it), and I'm sure many programs that can help facilitate or move towards that dream? Vip is like $100-120 for 100 tokens which is a curation type trail process that is automated. I'm guessing that is what some people are against on this site which I feel some type of way about it also, but have no way of effectively selling out of it now. See cause for me I have plans to move to Philippines so I am trying to fully immerse myself in all this information so when I go there I can better educate them to how to create valuable posts, create meaningful relationships, and to add value to the community at large so that they can make a lifelong living for themselves while branding and pushing a much bigger social movement.
Yeah I understand it's the people haha ultimately in end of the day that is the real "value" are the relationships and people/memories we meet and make along the way. Kitty is probably one of the people I've met that has been rather amazing just in all the little details and how many servers I see her proactively/selflessly helping people in. Unfortunately my time on hive is just for enjoyment and self discovery/branding as later real life will demand a lot of my time for executions and planning of plans. But I will incorporate hive into plan for my team later and possibly torum not sure yet as if I want to take on another social media/blogging site. There are just some troubling things I've found on hive through my interaction with Neoxian, but yeah there are also a ton of amazing people as well. Well I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
hehe not a worry at all! yes - pypt is better for you since you prefer voice!!! :)
yuhp plus i can see with 3speak and all these other amazing projects that it will all be incorporated into hive at a later time or I'll have a team come in to incorporate them haha. The ability for people to just be able to absorb data at different speeds and methods is just overall a better user experience. Like ability to watch a movie/show in 1.25-1.5x speed of course thrillers/dramas/horror and some should be watched at normal speeds for the theatric effects.
noooo hee hee, the end of my post applies to everyone that reads the post. And I know that there are some of you that I actively engage with and go and look for your posts etc so I "bump" into you on purpose so to speak haha. The article started as a comment to Kene's article but morphed into more than that, which is why Kene is mentioned a couple of times. Kene was definitely the spark though; I wanted to make that clear as his article is really good. And your future plans sound wonderful. I hope we continue to see you in the discord if it suits your needs. I may have to join PYTP soon...starting to feel like I'm missing out 😜I enjoy chatting with you Infinity. :-) You'll have to keep us up to speed with how to progress with chaos legions!
Yeah for sure I can probably make a group about that and help with questions. I feel that is the least I can do after being helped so much in navigating all these communities. I just haven't written too many posts about markets/cards/splinterlands as I don't think it would be healthy for the game as it would bring up card prices faster on the directed cards making them less accessible for the general population. Actually that reminds me I need to create more than the 1 extra account for this haha just to make sure. Yeah he has some rather eye opening posts, it almost feels as if he should be a politician to a degree haha, but not in like a bad way as most society typically see them as but one to impact change. Yeah I plan to always check into the discord group randomly as I do many others but all of this feels like an insane balancing act at this current stage haha. It is PYPT (pimp your post thursday) and yeah it is a great thing I can participate in and have in the background as I am doing other stuff.
