Happy Hive Birthday To Me - 3 Year old

In the summer of 2017(no I lied, we've got no summer here, we have the same tropical season all year long), via @bitrocker2020 introduction, my steem identity was born. I've been doing a lot of soul searching, finding out truth about how "money" being printed from these social blogging platform, and the only person to blame is myself, for procrastinating over and over again.

I didn't get started immediately after registered an account. My first vote gone out with a very real curation because it was an "instruction" from the home minister(wife), he friend's son got an Olympic medal, I feel obliged to read that post, and literally given my best to push that upvote button because I truly feel the joy of the author, and how proud a mother would be if the children have such an achievement. If you're interested to read what took away my first vote, here's the link.

Over the past 3 years, I've learned tons of stuff in this environment. How to be sneaky, how to attack people without attacking. Yes I know. It literally happen that way, people will go over one big round, buy a bot vote for you to float your post to the trending page to trigger whale flags. There are a lot more ugly stuff I know, behind the scene of all the harmony blogging platform, is blood and tears from different people. My first experience of a friend left the platform, she's @tamagoyaki. It was a reply for a friend @joelai post, about getting off from blogging once in a while makes life less difficult. And this is the reply from her:

See, I don't like the concept here, people here for making money, what people did here always about getting something, expect something, even making friends for benefits, otherwise you are stay as you are for good. I don't like those kind of feeling. Maybe I am just being sensitive. Now I just try to figure out how to transfer my wallet to my friend. ^^

Let's set aside of what happened between #hive and #steem, it has been discussed in both blockchains for God forbid times, like infinite. Not that it's not important, we all agreed somehow the fork make us stand in line with what we believe and why do we choose one side. And for a small portion of people like myself, decided to go with two side, treating them as a unique content platform, and find myself feeling jealous of people getting so much support on both blockchains, whilst I'm getting peanuts.

Once again, #steem or #hive, it doesn't change anything happened before 20/3/2020. My account was created by #steem, it's recorded in the chain, and it will remain there forever even it was duplicated in #hive #blockchain. This post will be dedicated to my #steem profile, but I recon this is important to bring to my PROJECT HOPE audience. Regardless of whichever platform, it's only about our perception. Do we come here for the money? Or are we truly came for the engagement, to make friends, to discuss of matters, and to benefit from other people's sharing and learn new knowledge from their posts. This post will be set 100% beneficiaries to @ph-fund for the contribution to the community in #hive #blockchain.
