I Reached 3K Hive Power - From proof-of-wallet to proof-of-brain
I Reached 3K Hive Power
Yay! I very recently crossed 3K HP and moved closer to my first milestone of 5K HP. At 5K, or somewhere around there, one becomes a "Dolphin" on this platform. For the past year, I've been a redfish or "Minnow", depending on where you look for the vesting categories. It won't be my first time as a Dolphin though. I've eve been an "Orca" on this platform, which requires upwards of 50K HP, but that was by cash investment. That is to say, I bought the tokens using fiat money from my savings account and other sources.
Funny thing is, right after injecting that much money into (then Steem) Hive, the price took a nose dive from around $4.5 to $0.20, and lower, with the leadership riding into the sunset with our investments (effectively).
This time around, I've been earning the tokens solely by creating content. All my HP and Hive tokens were earned by posting blogs and videos consistently for over a year now. It's been a bit slow, but it's been enjoyable. I love creating content and I do it every day, so why not earn on such a great platform as this one?
When I show my friends Hive, some of them get it, but most of them don't understand why I spend so much time earning such "small change". I try to explain to them that I'm not earning for the "now", but that the so called "small change" will grow eventually. What convinces some of them, though, is when I show posts that earn more than "small change", lol. They often then go into disbelief or skeptic mode. "Where does the money come from?", e.t.c.
Like I said, it's been a bit slow getting here and, following the same trajectory, it will be nearly December before I reach 5K, but that's fine with me. I try to not think about that, and enjoy it as though I wasn't even earning anything. I have income outside this, so I don't depend on my Hive, but one day Hive may well be a massive windfall when the stars finally align for us.
I recognise that there are people who depend on their Hive; live off it, or it forms a significant portion of their income. That's amazing to me, and it still blows my mind. Living in London, if I were to cash out and spend my Hive, it would pay for my coffees, and that would be it. That's for now. In the future, it may well be a completely different picture.
Another thing that is probably being taken for granted by many people is the number of tribe/community tokens we have on Hive, and how much of it we've been earning automatically. My favourite right now is POB, even if the price has taken a recent decline, because I can earn it using a tag. I also quite like Palnet and Waivio, two tags I use regularly. I'm not a financial expert, but I do occasionally create crypto content. For that, I tag Leofinance. I also have quite a bit of Jahm, Pizza, and Beer token, thanks to the generous community on here.
My role on Hive has changed over the months from a big investor/content creator to simply a user. I've gone from "proof of wallet" to "proof of brain", and I'm loving it.
Peace & Love,
Adé
The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.
I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.
They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?
People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism
Congratulations! Keep going!
🙌🙌🙌
Glad you're enjoying the journey to Dolphin second time around 🙂.
I'm curious why you cashed out?
"Cashed out" to recoup investment. I was down 95% during the hostile takeover and it didn't look like we were going to make it. The Hive fork came as a surprise to me :)
"recoup investment" by swing trading it back up. Finally broke even during last year's all time highs.
Well done 😍.
I just sat tight 😂.
That's probably a safer strategy than what I did 😂
I remember when your account was much bigger. It's a shame the price dropped back then. I have invested a lot of time in this platform, but I think it could pay off in the long run, and it's fun. Some people concentrate too much on the money and not enough on the community.
I hope to see you back at dolphin at least this year. Consistency pays off.
!PIZZA !LUV
Thank you! yes, those were happy days. Thankfully I didn't lose all of it, and managed to swing trade it back up a bit. Broken even during the all time high in November, but back down 50% again like most people haha.
Loving the experience here, so that's the main thing..
I know some people invested a lot of money and that always has risks. Important not to panic.
@steevc(1/1) gave you LUV.

Keep making it big sir.
Congrats man! I remember your orca days and I´m sure you will get there again one day, just by posting and curating. It´s possible. I was almost there too, in autumn last year (organically, no investment) but I had to power down a decent chunk of my stake and now it will take me at least another year to hit that 50k milestone. But I am not complaining, I enjoy what I do here :) And I know you do too.
That's quite impressive, and yes, we will get there eventually :). Who knows, I may come back as a whale directly 😎.
Congratulations on breaking even Ade. You'll be back in dolphin waters pretty quickly with your consistent content output.
Investing large amounts of fiat in anything these days is probably better than leaving it in a bank with the current inflation rates. 🤦♂️😂👨💻👍
Thank you. I agree with you. The amount of fiat I have now is near zero lol, and probably not on purpose
It's just history repeating. Fiat has always been a bad idea.
I've been watching the Tory/Republican shambles they call government for way to many years.
They always screw everything up and yet people still vote for them? As if voting mattered. Lol 🤦♂️👍
