My Hive Story

Hi y’all. I hope you’re doing great and are enjoying your evening. I sure am.
So recently I came across the My Hive Story trend on @wolfofnostreet’s blog and I just had to share my story up here.
A big thanks to @snook for the questions that really got me to acknowledge what a great experience joining Hive has been for me.

So let’s go right ahead with the questions -

1. How long have you been on the blockchain?
I joined the blockchain this summer, 7 months ago.

2. What was your background in Cryptocurrency when you first came to the blockchain?
I had just started to gain interest in Cryptocurrency beginning of this year. That is when I was intensively researching over the blockchain and learning more about investments. Just two months into it, my friend @bighungrypanda introduced me to Hive and boy, was I fascinated by it.

3. What was your background in writing when you first came to the blockchain?
I had been posting little blogs on food and lifestyle on my other socials, specially on my Instagram. So I did do some writing there.

However, I couldn’t do much with it and did not extensively write on any platform until I came across Hive. The incentives Hive provides in return for sharing my work with the audience here keeps me encouraged to write more often.

4. How many people did you know when you first came to the Blockchain?
When I first joined the blockchain, the only person I knew, who also introduced and guided me through it was @bighungrypanda. But shortly after I started incessantly writing, I met a lot of wonderful people who I could engage with.

5. How did you meet people when you first came to the Blockchain?
When I first joined the blockchain, I was still trying to figure the platform. When I started posting, I was welcomed by many and so I had short conversations in the comments and followed a few very amazing creators.

It was delightful to meet and connect with talented writers and artists who showcase their talents on the blog’s explore space. I met a few through the reblogs by the mutual friends I made on the platform and it’s been an incredible experience.

6. Who did you look up to when you first came to the blockchain?
When I joined the blockchain, I had a lot to learn from @bighungrypanda, who was very sweet to patiently explain things to me. I also really appreciated the quality of pictures by @varunpinto, the travel stories of @nudgetravel and the writing style of @merit.ahama and @itsmiessyonpeakd

7. How would you describe your first three months on the blockchain?
ECSTATIC. That’s how it felt to be finally on a community where you can actually post your work on or simply type your heart out and form some beautiful connections with people from all around the world.

It really felt empowering to be finally being able to monetise something I’ve absolutely yearned to be doing for a long time now.

8. Has being a part of the blockchain changed you in any way for the good?
Yes, this has brought great changes in my life. I have lately been learning to manage time for my work, studies and still make time to write on the blockchain.
It has also taught me the value of my time. I try to avoid wasting too much time on things that bring me no value as I compare it with how I could be doing more and be rewarded for writing here.

9. What is your favorite memory from your time on the blockchain?
I’ve had a wonderful time on the platform. I think my favourite part would be of how I once wrote about my feelings in a poem when I was feeling a little low. And the friends I made on the blockchain read through it and actually put in the time to talk to me regarding it. It felt comforting to know that my words reach out to someone.

10. If you could give advice to a new person signing up to Hive what would it be?
YOU DO YOU. Be yourself, share the original, authentic and unedited version of yourself. Write the way you enjoy it. You need not be a pro at it all, but putting yourself out there is what matters.


That's all for today's post. If you enjoyed reading till here, do let me know through an upvote, a comment, and maybe a reblog. You can also find me on other platforms @riyaflona. Stay tuned for more updates. Cheers!

It seems like you had a very fascinating journey so far, for someone who has been here for less than a year, you are a solid role model for other newbees to look up to.
I wish nothing but the best for your endeavor here.
