I saw lot Filipinos were on boarding in hive. It's a great news because I'm always hoping that many of us will be here. Now, I decided to make this post for the benifits for those new users here in hive. I know there's a lot questions going on here.

Upon arriving in hive always remember that power matters here. What are these powers by the way?
Don't think that the kind of powers mean you're strong, can fly or can do impossible things. That's not what I meant just so you know. The powers I will be talking about now is the ability to do many things here in hive. If you don't have power you can't do upvotes, comments and posts.
How important are these upvotes, comments and posts?
It's so simple, these are the abilities that you can support someone and you can support yourself. Well, of course it just mean that these are the reasons why you're here in hive. It's the ability that you can earn and you can gain here in hive.

If you can do these three (3)things here. You can enjoy the sweetness of the hive. I'm talking about money, not a cash money because I think it's impossible that cash money will go out easily from your phone. Not a cash money but an online money. Like btc, etherium and many more. All you need to do is to buy these types of online money through our tokens here or we can just say hive money.
How can I do upvotes, comments and posts freely in hive?
Now, we need the basic tools to do it. I'm talking about "RC" or resource credits. This RC is like a mana in playing games. I'm sure you're familiar with some games that needs mana, right? Yeah, I'm referring about power and skills. You can't do it if you're low in mana.
If you'll be out of mana there are so many things you cannot do here. That's why it's important to have too much money. If you want to keep on commenting and writing. You wi need this mana for you to do it.
Still not clear what is this mana?
See here 👇👇
That's only an example in how to check your mana. Unfortunately I forgot where to go in checking the RC in hive. If you will keep on doing activities. You will see there that your RC will be lessened slowly. Yeah, it's important how we need this RC badly.
How can we have more "RC"?
It's simple, by gaining more HIVE POWER. Either you can have it through your rewards or you can have it by investing. Investing? Yeah, you can buy this types of token in @blocktrades through blocktrades.us or other crypto exchanges. Also you can borrow HP by what we call it here delegation.
What is DELEGATION by the way?
Delegation is like someone lets you borrow a HIVE POWER from that person. This is to help someone keep on doing activities despite of being low reputation. When you can receive an HP delegation. It's like that power is your own now but remember that it's not yours. It will be taken from you if the owner wanted it back.
If you will have much RC. You can be like a superhero that will help people by influencing them. If you're that generous why not. This is what hive means, it's all about community.
more to come.... information..

Hi there. Thank you for this fruitful message. I have been doing blogs for years in another site and this is the very first time i come accross such a powerful site of not only doing some blogs but it was like a community where you can find new friends. It was a very exciting adventure for me in the world wide web but i was kinda lost yesterday when i started and now, with your guidance, i got the idea how to proceed and rock it on. Cheers!

Now it's clearer for, the reason I got an error commenting and voting is due to lack of RC. I thought it was my internet connection or my mobile phone before.
