I won't lie. I Facebooked for the family and friends that I went to school with. It is an easy way to keep up in an all-inclusive way.
I was lost when I went to Steem. Way more than @jaceyboldart was. Trust me. I was ignorant enough to not realize what a delegation meant, didn't even realize that @twinner had given me on almost right away. I didn't even know how to figure out who gave it to me. If that wasn't embarrassing enough... I didn't even know who to thank. Keys? Passwords that you can't recoup? Oh, my!
I found my way, although, it was slow and painful. Maybe this is one of the reasons the masses don't run here. As much as I thought I understood many things, this made me realize I know nothing.
Eventually, I figured out that I needed to post more than one picture and a poem to make people look twice. Oh, the pity votes! Now, they are better equipped with people that take care of the newbies, guiding them until they understand. So, I think in my mind, it is much friendlier.
I don't look at it as having to post, working it or such. I like it here, I liked Steem and was sad that went the way it did. Would I like Hive to be worth more than $.0.21 Sure. But, even when it isn't, I'm still going to post.
I'm pretty sure I am off the subject by now, but, to be clear, it is not as easy as many of the sites at first glance for someone coming in. That scares off some. Too hard to get a following, even if you are good. Unless you are patient, which most people aren't. That is my two cents.

Yes I am going to post as well. Is Hive going to moon or even go up from here, who can say? When I started on Steem I let half of my post rewards power up, bit I took out the liquid half. However once Steem was flying, I decided to power up 100%. After all this time, I think my original posture was the best...power up half and hedge by taking out the rest.
I think everyone has to do what is best for them. I am sure you are right as you are the money man... I will have to think about what is right for me. I am not quite decided on that yet.
Give me a moment, I will change my mind. I already posted. Again. :P It is hard keeping up with you.
Thank you, @twinner!
Ich schätze alles, was du für mich getan hast. Ich wünschte, ich hätte damals Wissen. Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe.
