My time is limited, so I prefer things that satisfy me. While I like receiving free crypto for posting, I gain more by working overtime at my job. Our department is still understaffed, so there is an 85% premium for overtime. Regardless of what you feel about fiat, I use the extra pay to get assets. It sounds good on paper, but it's taxing after several years.
This is exactly how it feels right now. But I like the part that I can do a hobby.
Sounds like you're busy with non-Hive stuff, what came of that blacksmithing hobby?
I learned the basics. I haven’t gone back for personal projects yet.
