HOW DOES HIVE(LEO FINANCE) IMPACT MY DAILY LIFE?

avatar

These days I hardly spend too much time on the web 2 spaces, I am mostly always on hive moving through the different communities, if I’m not on hive or creating a content to share then I’m definitely thinking about it. I can’t hold conversations with people without talking about hive and the goodness of web 3. My friend Janet is sick of me because she said she doesn’t understand anything I say when I talk about hive, but she listens anyway.

Becoming a member and user of Hive has caused a few changes to my life if not many.
I used to wake up everyday and go about my business, then Hive happened and a lot changed in a short space of time. Lately I can hardly go a day without saying the word ‘hive’ to someone or myself. The impact has been profound as Hive is quickly becoming at the center of my life and I honestly can’t complain.

One of the many ways Hive has influenced my life is my personal relationships. I haven’t met a lot of people on Hive but the ones I’ve met have managed to affect my life in some notable ways. Being on hive exposed me to an array of brilliant minds and a few of the ones I’ve met are fast becoming a huge part of my everyday life. For someone who hadn’t made a new friend in a long time I say this is a big deal. I cherish my friends from hive and visiting their accounts and reading their contents makes me feel connected to their minds, which is what fascinates me most about human existence - the human mind.

Well, the Leo Finance community has done a lot to inform my financial decisions. Being on the Leo Finance community and having a vast number of global financial information every day has reshaped my orientation and understanding of money. I see money differently now, but to an extend I understand how it works. I understand money can not drive any value unless the public, the users say so and hivers pit their money where their mouth is.

I’ve taken a lot of financial advices from people on this community, most financial decisions I’ve been making have been largely influenced by this community. To think my whole life used to revolve around fiat disgusts me now, I now have financial goals- assets to buy, investments to make and most importantly budgeting to fit my expenses into my earnings. I recently read a post someone shared on how to keep surviving the bear market without falling off the wagon, I don’t remember it in details but they said to simply cut costs and tailor expenses to flow with the current cash flow.

Someone also wrote recently, how to manage the ridiculous gas prices we’re facing now, though that mostly applies to car owners but I have the knowledge he shared and wouldn’t hesitate to share it with the next person I find complaining about gas prices. It is everything from the hundreds of crypto news, advices and opinions to information on our day to day buying and selling and personal activities revolving around finance.

My understanding of digital currency and decentralized finance is now off the charts. Before Leo Finance, crypto currency used to sound a a mystery to me, something I may never fully grasp. I’ve owned and transacted a few coins in the past but I never fully understood the tenets, margins and impact of digital currency. But now I understand to a great extent and most of my crypto friends often reach out to me to talk about one role or the other.

The value of being part of a community can not be over emphasized. Being a part of a whole with common goals and interests changed the way I see people, changed the way I wanted to relate with people and most importantly made me start valuing the power of the collective. I love how being a part of this platform makes me feel, I know I’m only a tiny drop in the ocean but it hardly feels that way in my little corner on hive.

Sometimes when I share my posts with my friend and they’re wowing and patting my back, I tell them ‘you should see the other guys’. Lol. Information is everything for me, and having direct access to a pool where people wake up daily and pour their minds into is crazy.

LEARNING ON THE JOB.

One thing I’ve taken away from the Leo Finance community is you get better with time. I had no idea what I used to write before on here, 😄 I still don’t but it was way worse then, I just knew I was stringing words together and hardly even making sense to my own self. But I had a goal to demystify the ambiguity of the Leo finance community and I believe I’m doing just that.

When I newly joined hive, visiting this community used to make me feel dumb, I’d look at the over decorated grammatical expressions and take to my heels. But what exactly was I running away from? I realized I never really calmed to read any post hoping to understand, I mostly just read to complain about how difficult it is to blog about finance 🤦🏾‍♀️

So what if it is difficult? I asked myself. I’ve spent a great deal of time studying the world economic margins and all that jargons I was forced to learn back in school. I told myself that all I had to do was calm down, understand and do what comes naturally to me. And I’m proud of the many ways I’ve gotten better and all the many things I’m yet to to learn.

FINANCE IS FOR EVERYONE. You are a part of a world that runs on transactions. Our day to day existence and interactions revolves around transactions, buying and selling, giving and taking. I realized that once you get past the big jargons, you’ll find out that it’s nothing you don’t already know. My goal is always to do what feels natural to me, and sometimes I find that on the other side of my comfort zone.

Thank you for sticking around, your support makes me better.
I have added a couple of my previous Canva designs and articles, just because I can.
