It is nice that topics like this pop up once in a while for us to rally recall how we get into this wonderful world of crypto. Now, how did my journey began in crypto generally and in Hive in particular. Can I even recall? Oh, yes, let me start from somewhere.
I have been hearing about cryptocurrency down here in my country. Even in the national newspapers you could see once in a while pop up news items about seminars on how people can invest or trade to earn an additional living via cryptocurrency. I don't even pay attention to them because of other commentaries I have read elsewhere that it is a high risk venture.
But the year 2020 saw a change in my worldview. A certain pandemic was ravaging the world. I am referring to COVID-19. The need for alternative income became necessary, especially working from home. I was then approached by my good friend @alovely088 who told me that I can actually make money while staying at home (quarantine). I then asked how and he told me it has to do with blogging and getting paid in crypto. I was not too keen on that idea but he took time and guided me including delegating some HP to me for a start.
Like a fairy tale/dream I signed up and started writing most especially in the freewrite community and the !ALIVE tribe. Later I extended to the @lmac community, @ladiesofhive and other communities and I started earning really. I was surprised initially because I never knew it could be true.
Though not a pro yet but I must say that I am enjoying my life here on the hive blockchain. I am really happy to be part of this great community and I will so my best to bring in more people to also be part of this lofty crypto blogging platform.
Thanks for reading my blog
