Hello dear friend @cryptographic first of all welcome to the community, it is a pleasure to have you with us. The truth is that you speak very well of this platform and I agree with you, it is HIVE we get many advantages that others do not have, and besides winning in coins we win on a personal level. Many people learn to write, improve their writing, learn to read much faster and constantly and of course you can win many friends.
We learn that quality is much more important than quantity, it is not about the number of publications we make but what we can really bring to the platform.
A big greeting and welcome! :)
