Congratulations on your status as an Orca. Your story is inspiring and what I took out from this is to take hive as a game. And this statement alone speaks volumes and kind of sums up how to get to the orca status in no time. Because if you are into playing games most especially video games you will understand better. One tend to spend time on a certain game, have fun, challenge fellow gamers and also feel challenged to win and move on to the next level which on it's own brings about a sense of fulfillment.
So when considers hive as a game you will not be deterred by obstacles instead you will be challenged to scale them.
I'm just starting out and learning the ropes and I find some of these communities interesting and I like to author posts mostly.
Thank You. Yes, it is more fun to view it as a game, rather than taking everything too seriously.
