In tough times it is the people closest to you that keep pushing you forward. Since the beginning of the invasion in Ukraine, many like myself have received unprecidented and unbelievable support from HIVE. Hive, a blockchain based community where many haven't even seen the faces of other users. But that is the true meaning of "community". Come rain or drought, the community has your back. And I wholeheartedly thank each and every one of you who has supported me thus far.
From witnesses running a mission from behind the curtains to stay in touch with me and others fleeing the war, to absolute strangers whose names I hadn't heard of before embracing me into their group and even house. There are many others I know of who have been supported through out these times, all through strangers like you and I connected merely through blocks running this chain.
For the few years I have been on the blockchain I have voiced my thorough belief in this community. We saw it times and times again. You and I have both participated in many such efforts. Helped out with flood relief through donations, helped with someones food for the day through upvotes, or even helped someone smile through a giveaway. It was much easier for me to send money to Ukraine through Hive than it was through my bank.
Not long ago, I had some initiatives as well. Trying to giveaway power or liquid just to be more active on here or for inviting someone. There were various communities I was either mod at or created to empower other users. Last I remember I was giving out $800 worth to strangers for simply joining and posting something on here.
In my head it was all about empowering the chain through diversity of innovation. Every single person on this chain is yet another chance to strentghen the chain, come up with a new idea, grow the platform, and make it better in who knows what ways. A place of never ending opportunities to do your thing. To create something. To own it completely. Have a great idea and want to get it done A-Z, you'll find all the resources and help here.
Most recently I was taken aback by @krolestwo, brainchild of @hallmann, completely run through the power of HIVE. Every single person I met there had a hive account and were following their passion to fuel KBK. It was the perfect self-sustaining cycle with HIVE as the base foundation. It is a very close manifestation of acidyo's Give value to the community and the community will have your back, and I'd go as far as to say the same value circles itself back to the community, and the cycle continues.
Of course, we are very far from having a perfect circle, but I remember this one example someone had once given me: If someone drops a nickel into a deep well, is it worth getting it out? The correct is yes, because the people hired to take that nickel out would eventually add more than the nickel's worth to the entire economy, and a new cycle begins because of that nickel.
But
Never in my life did I expect to be the nickel in the deep well. I never thought I'd see the day where typing something onto the blockchain would make me think twice and make my fingers twitch. But hey life's a terrible mistress, isn't she?
The amount of support still feels so unreal to me. But frankly speaking, it feels like I am a real memeber of this community and ya'll give me strength. Special thanks to erikah, duh. And I am very glad the community is here, that you all are here. And I am very thankful for keeping me going. All your words mean a lot, trust me. I wanted to take some time due to personal reasons, but it would be so unfair not to thank all of you. This nickel will shine again.

It is never too late to join the chain and honestly it is far too good to not be a part of it.
Hive will continue to a blessing and a solid support system.

Thanks @tobetada. You are fantastic!
I’m glad to hear from you yourself. I hope things get better over there and that the small donations from the community will help you get the laptop and stay active. I hadn’t run into you until I saw erikah’s post. Again, thanks erikah, for doing this brave thing.
Erikah is magical. She is so kind and wise. I know that she has impacted your hive journey in many ways too. You have been so kind to me, thank you!
@blind-spot,
The most important thing I have tried to remind folks about. Is the fact that there are "people" behind these screens and keyboards. I have known you since the days of the legacy chain, and have witnessed nothing but positive energy, respect, and love. Know that you are being thought of... and everyone one of us sends you prayers, positive energy, and comfort.
No better words have been spoken (well... written, you know ✌️). Please do keep us in the loop, about how you are doing. I will chat with you soon...

Wise @wesphilbin, as always. You are a role model to us all, and your words always have such a positive impact on me. Thank you so much!
My goal, since joining the Blockchain in 2017. Was spreading positive energy, and love. Some say I'm crazy for being in all the servers and community's lol. They might be right! But seeing your reply, brings me great joy. Love you brother...
You have been nothing less than an overacheiver when it comes to your goals. I have always respected how wide your love and positivity reached through all the groups and communities you are involved in.
You must be killin' it out here!
@wesphilbin just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @blind-spot.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/1 possible people today.

I am happy to see you in Hive , i didnt know if you were part of the community
I just won a Hivefest ticket and Priyan has one so i told her i am willing to gift it to you for you to go with her and change your mind , i know those tickets are expensive so please if you could take a little break from everything you are going through ..it is in 6 days , i hope i can help making you feel a little better 🫶🏻
Thanks a lot for your kind gesture. I would rather see you there in person and have a nice conversation with you. Your intentions and words did make me feel better!
I am still looking to come but 3 days to make it is so short , plane ticket and hotel .
I am happy you have been invited there by the team and Priya is with you 🌷
I will see you then! Will be an incredible memory to take back home.
Maybe you ´ll take me back home 😄
I am having Problem with the flight ticket , i found one for the 17th which is way too late
I will look for a bus , i dont promise anything the time given is super short .
I am technically still homeless so I cant take anything home.
I just looked up pn thalys. There are a few tickets still available that leave from Amsterdam to Paris. That could be an option for you...and considerably more comfortable than a bus.
I checked those already ...11h travel 4 stops and arriving on the 16th , bus is the same i would live in California that would take as long . I ll wait for a flying saucer , 2022 is not fun .... unless i find a helicopter , i wont make it .
At some point i will come to Amsterdam and we will see eachother , i want to do all the museums .
This is so true. Hive has helped me in ways I can imagine, especially in gaining knowledge. I wish you success in your endeavors.
This is one of the most underrated things about HIVE, the amount of vast knowledge available here and the opportunity to build on it.
Crazy right? Who would have thought that something like this would build schools, buy laptops, get drinking water and all those kinds of things..Just by writing! Crazy!
It sure is a very unbelievable concept. But once when you break it down and realize that it is so much more than just writing, it is being transparent in a trustworthy manner, and investing in others lives and interest just as much as they are in yours, and building a community towards the next big thing (web 3.0 maybe?), then we are all just leaves of a same branch holding each other up.
Got to know you from @priyanarc's post. Tipped and hope you get your new laptop soon! :)
Thank you @michelleloh168. Really appreciate it.
I love it when people appreciate kindness do toward them. Am really sorry for what you guys are going through in Ukraine. It is temporary, soon you all will be Free. Thank God who directed your way to hive. I join you in appreciating @erikah. Be strong and prayerful
Hive is doing so great and I'm glad you are witnessing this for yourself..My country is benefiting so well from HIVE..4th borehole constructed
I have seen a few posts about the other wells before and it is simply heartwarming seeing the difference Hive is making. I remember the Veneuzla crisis, and so glad that for a crumbling economy there was hive to support it.
We are fortunate to come across hive..Thanks for reporting on this
