Good question.
I feel ownership can make you care more and be involved more.
It is as you say:
skin in the game
But ownership can cause sadness,
when you can’t affect change and feel unheard.
Sometimes here on Hive , I feel like a tree falling in the forest, when there’s no one around, to hear it fall.
Other times, I feel like a big fish, in a small pond. Happy to have the audience that I have, but hungering for more.
Hive has been a bittersweet experience for me, for seven years now.
But yet I am here, building and stacking again for the future.
One day I hope to launch my own front end on Hive and do something different to contribute to this community.
I have had skin in the for years, but also my heart and mind. And it is this that causes both pain and joy.
😢 😊
It is, what it is, and I am here because I choose to persevere.
