Building muscle is a long-shot process, it's something that takes time, dedication, it involves a lot of hard work, resources, and tons of effort spent. You can't get lean, fit and muscle-packed over the night, metaphorically speaking.
There are supplements that can help, these won't do the job of a proper diet though, but will for sure aid, and then there are the steroids. These ones(the steroids) are the ultimate "external aid" one can use to build muscle mass in insanely low time frames.
I have a friend who started using them back in January, this year, and now after over half a year of use he is in such shape. He is in that position atm, but once he will drop the needle down it's when the pain will come. The drop in muscular mass, motivation, energy, testosterone level, and drive will be epic.
That's why most of the ones using such products get addicted to them and in some rare cases even end up dying from excessive usage.
Back in the old days of Steemit, we used to have something called bid bots. These ones would act for an account's growth the same way steroids do for bodybuilders. In exchange for an amount of STEEM or SBD tokens one could receive insane amounts of upvotes that would send literally any post to the trending page and boost one's account reputation score in short periods of time, but not that user's reputation.
Those days are gone now. Hive has started a new path after the hardfork and this path is similar to what natural bodybuilders are on. It's all about sustained growth, resilience, and usability. Such growth that Hive is engaged in doesn't come overnight and it won't vanish any time soon either.
I mentioned bid bots, but when we look at the crypto space as a whole we can clearly see that Hive is no "steroids user". Look at the chart of it and there's nothing spectacular about it. Look at how Leofinance(the most advanced Hive community) has evolved and it's clear it didn't happen overnight.
Then just throw a glance at LUNA, Celsius, and similar other projects. These things have experienced insane price growth and gotten to high levels of exposure in literally weeks. These type of projects are the "steroids bodybuilders" of the crypto space and their fall is as spectacular as their artificially inflated growth.
Most of us were expecting HIVE to hit $10 during the bull market peak. It didn't happen... HIVE has literally done just 3.5x of its after the launch price, but when you look at its chart you can see that it is clearly reflecting the growth of the community and its plethora of fully working apps.
Sustainable growth doesn't happen over time, big muscles that last don't grow in trees and aren't built in half a year. It takes time to grow "reliable muscle mass" or a strong web3 ecosystem. That's what we should have in mind before asking for $10 HIVE cuz I see quite a few reminiscing on that target lately. I'm fine with $0.60, you know, although I literally live off this thing and $10 would literally make me rich.
I'm fine with my body-building progress as well because I'm more after sustainability rather than hype, overnight exposure and immature dollar valuation growth. I'm not speculating on HIVE. It's close to five years since I joined and have no regrets about it not being on steroids.
The fall that comes after the use of em is as spectacular as the rise and we don't want that. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day and see you in the next post.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

I'm loving this 60c floor for hive after spending a lot of time at 10c and watching the foundation being built for more growth.
I want to see $10 hive as well but over the course of a few years for good reasons.
Because it is getting powered up by applications and users.
$1 price level at xmas would be a great result if it didn't drop back and keep growing from there.
Long term growth beats quick riches any day. They never last.

$1 HIVE is just a matter of time
I believe in natural Bodybuilding and The way you linked this whole thing with Hive man that's impressive.
Work hard, stay consistent without running on any steroids the natural result is always the best and healthy one.
Got enough motivation to do workout now!
Leofinance community has really tried in building it self which I believe it will continue to grow.. thanks for sharing your view
I was wondering how this post was linked to finances. Then I checked the comment by idksamed and decided to hive this a read. He was right, you connected it just fine!
As much as we want to see Hive price spike, the price reflects the growth of the community and I agree that HIVE is doing fine at $0.6 maybe in the future we will grow enough to hit and stay above $10. Those will be the real glory days and time for the believers to enjoy. Have a great day!

Try it.
can you ask your friend for me?
Yes.
Great analogy, fast and easy route is most times unrealiable. Hive is taking the right step, with time I'm sure hive will hit the $1 mark and even more.
