6 years on this blockchain. I have started using it in 2016, the same year it was created.

The first Hive block was produced on March 2016:
https://hiveblocks.com/b/1

Not a long time later, in November the same year, on block 6,530,461, I have created my account:
https://hiveblocks.com/tx/048ae39d428609998963024dea17f627f533e913

The account creation fee, back then, was 50 STEEM, or 50 HIVE since we were still the same blockchain back then:

The reputation level is exponential, so the higher your level is the harder it is to level up. Going from 60 to 70 is 10x more difficult than going from 50 to 60, considering this I doubt I will manage to reach the level 80 this decade! It will require a huge support from my friends and communities here, and a lot of patience! I hope to get there eventually!

Because the reputation level is exponential, everyone that keeps using their Hive blogs will eventually reach the same level, more or less. Since it will get harder for people at a higher level to level up further, lower level issues can catch up! We will reach a point that eventually eventually everyone will have a very similar reputation!

Some interfaces, however, still show my level at 69, I guess it takes time for caches to be refreshed:

Well, anyways, thank you for everyone that reads my post. Thank you everyone that uses Hive.

And a very special thank you for the people that have voted me for witness! I have been running my Hive witness node since early 2021, and in almost 1 year as a witness I have only missed 11 blocks! Most witnesses above me have hundreds, some even thousands of blocks missed! I have only missed 11, and I hope to never miss a single block again after some node updates!

If you have a spare vote, consider supporting my Witness campaign, and leave me a vote! I appreciate!

Thank you all, and cheers for the next levels and challenges to come!
