"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." – Henry Ford

Hive is not simply a blockchain - it is a decision, a mindset and a like minded community that shares in the growth of such.

THE WHAT, WHY, WHO & WHERE OF IT ALL

These are my five...

WHAT

_{(What Hive offers you as an individial)}

WHAT

_{(What Hive offers you as an individual)}

The opportunities offered by this great family are many, blogging, vlogging, photo apps, video games, live broadcast platforms, practically everything you can find on the Web thanks to the subscription to a single platform, but unlike there you can tokenize your works.

And what I just described was only the technical side, of which I have spoken only in part. Yes, because this everyday bigger family is growing more and more and important unions are created between special people, who believe in the project, a blockchain managed by the people, without "leaders" and with a detailed organization dedicated to grow up much possible its potential.

WHY

_{(How Hive is different to other social media and blogging platforms)}

As I said already, there are so many opportunities on HIVE, the thing that has impressed me the most in these three years here is to have found real people who have become friends and with whom I feel connected and talk every day. Friendship is invaluable. I had the opportunity to go around in some Crypto socials and I can assure you that in none of them have I ever felt a sense of belonging and union like here. All together for the same purpose.

WHO

_{(People & spaces you find Hive support and gain enthusiasm from)}

There's just too many, too many people, I don't feel like mentioning just a few and I don't even want to tag half community, so I'm going for communities that contain most of these friends: Steempostitalia, Oliodibalena, Power House Creatives, The Terminal, Threespeak, OCD, Ecency, PAL, Splinterlands, Actifit. Most likely I've forgotten some of them, they are so many and so different that there is something for everyone!

WHERE

_{(The front ends / dapps of your choice and why)}

Here are the ones I use the most, @ecency (for now still @esteem) is my favorite to answer and talk to Hivers from my Smarthpone, @threespeak I consider it the TOP for the vlogging part, same for the blogging part about @peakd, while @splinterlands is clearly my favorite game of all time and the only one I've been playing for a year now, and dulcis in fundo, but only to make the article more easy and fast to read, @actifit, which allows you to monetize your physical activity.

#THRIVEONHIVE

_{(My final thoughts & conclusion)}

Believe me when I say that I would stay here all day talking to you about this community I have been here for years and I still don't know it all well, this only increases my enthusiasm and interest. Knowing that I have to discover exciting new projects and friends stimulates me in this wonderful adventure. I take this opportunity to thank PHC for this new and beautiful initiative that is invading the platform at the same time with dozens of articles and surely also other social media!
