Are you having fun?

Hi,

another post with no picture, just some random text coming out of my mind at a late hour.

I was thinking the other day, that since I've joined Steem Hive, a lot of things have changed in my life, some maybe into good, some maybe into bad.

When I joined, I joined for the money, crypto was just starting to grow in 2016, and I was left unemployed on the day before, so something needed to happen. I've done a search online and stumbled upon this blockchain.

Of course, I did not make any money at the start, and I gave up. After a few months, I said, let's give it another try, and managed to gain some cents. I've got hooked. I've seen some posts with thousands of USD as a value, and not all have been good, but who cared, there was a way.

Long story short, I started earning, but something changed, as I've started meeting people from the chain, people whom I would not ever meet else, as most people live in their own bubble and don't come outside it.

Speaking of bubbles, here is an interesting article from the 70s, that would not be acceptable to be published today, as today everyone is special in its own way: https://www.campus.sg/five-universal-laws-of-human-stupidity/

It starting being fun as I combined my daily travels with meeting people from the chain. Now I unwind a lot, as I'm kind of reluctant of new people, even if I know it is wrong.

Is it still fun, mostly yes, but also from my capitalistic world view, I'm happy to be earning some crypto from it.

I think I have here 5 things that I like from it, people, fun, earnings, scheduled grind and improving my terrible writing skills.

This is it for me. Would the earning disappear, I would probably leave, would I lose the fun, definitely would leave also.

How about you?

I like and appreciate your honesty. I also joined for the money.

Of course, I did not make any money at the start, and I gave up.

I can only repeat myself. Respect for your honesty. Not many people write down the straight truth.

Since 2017.05.17 (my registration date) I also considered leaving and I also left a few times, but I always came back. Most of my followers also left over the years, but they have not returned, so most of my followers are inactive nowadays.

We have a similar journey. I also have these things nowadays. Hopefully everyone have (or will discover) these things.

Da hab ich ja glück gehabt, dass du der Plattform nochmal ne Chance gegeben hast, sonst hätten wir uns ja nie getroffen 😊 Es ist schon verrückt oder, was durch die Erfindung von Kryptowährungen alles möglich wurde und ich bin gespannt, was da wohl noch kommen wird.
