I just noticed...

in #blog8 months ago

...that I've been on Hive for 7 years now.

Quite an accomplishment. Although sometimes I've not really been very active. I hope I can do more in the future.

So, Happy 7th Hive Birthday for me!

As an update, I've been following intermittent fasting for a few weeks now, and I am glad to report, that my weight has reached 80,6 kg, so I am no longer overweight. Still have a beer belly though, and I would like to get rid of that. It's just that Ninnu really likes to rest her head against my tummy when she's on my lap.

Now that I was talking about our dogs, I must mention that Muffin is coming back next Thursday, after her puppies have been picked up by their new owners. Yay! Her puppies were really cute, and I'm glad they've already found nice new families to take care of them.

Money... I'm not sure about that. I recently experienced some quite fast moves in the Bitcoin trading, and couldn't keep up, so I ended up losing some money. All I should've done was to wait it out, really.

This scared me, and now I've lost some of the enthusiasm about trading. I hope it will be back soon, because I have bills to pay.

I did acquire the apartment though, and the next step is to find a tenant, and ask the bank for a loan against the flat so that I can start paying back those pesky taxes in November.

I wonder if posting more regularly to Hive could be a good way to grow my income, but it seems that not all posts are the same when it comes to returns. I'll need to up my game, but I wonder how.

Other than money issues we are all doing quite fine I guess. Driving over 700 km over the weekend kind of hurt my neck though, and it's still aching quite a lot. Maybe if I'll take a painkiller... I sort of want to try a neck stretch. The kind they do on this video:

I wonder if it's dangerous. I once dreamed of inventing a neck stretching machine when I had had an injury in Aikido and felt bad pain in my neck. It was a simple rope that was tied into a noose, and it could be attached anywhere. It would always cure all kinds of neck pains.

Well... I think I've rambled quite enough for today.

See you again in the next one! Oh, and be sure to read Muffin's post too!

Happy 7th anniversary on this blockchain, really it could be the out of box if you are very regularly active in post and gaming.

I would delegate some hive power to earn passive income if you aren’t posting often.

Congrats on the 7 years, apartment and weight loss. I am trying to lose some weight now myself, it isnt easy! Look forward to seeing your more frequent posts.

Wow, congratulations and happy 7th years anniversary on hive... Keep your good work on the platform,,, we love it and keep your good act as well

Have you tried posting on ‘Waves’ yet?! It’s a new feature on Ecency App. You could post one photo only. It’s like twitter but much easier to navigate! It’s cool for a quick post.

Hi Jaro,
First I wish you a happy 7 year B'dy on this chain!
If I am not mistaken you live in Finland right? If yes, in which town you are living? My brother in law recently moved to Vasa.
My suggestion for you to overcome the financial issues, it's better invest in HBD (HBD saving) instead of trading. I tried Binance futures but experienced a loss. So, decided to stay out of these things as much as I can.

Thanks for the wishes and advice!

I live in Lahti, but I was born in Vaasa where my parents were studying in at the time, it is on the west coast. I also used to live there for one month when I was 18.

I've only been doing spot trading for now, but I'm interested in Futures, as it gives much better tools to play both sides of the price. It's just that the futures trading looks really dangerous as it seems to be almost completely leverage based trading. I might need to learn that too eventually.

HBD can't do it for me really as it is a stablecoin, and the inflation is already sky high.

!WINE !PIZZA !BEER

It's better try Future with $10 max. It's kind of playing with two side sharp blade. Leverage & the level of our greediness are the two factor that can fail us.
Yeah my brother in law showed us the area, it's a coastal city. But it looks true great!
Have a great day for you!

Congrats mate on the amazing milestone! As someone still newish to the space, I'm slowly but surely finding my little corner. On that note, I was wondering with regards to your "Daily & Fresh" community.. would I be able to post to another community and still make use of the #DailyandFresh tag? I think my daily posts would be a nice fit for your feed and your possible curation (if that's something you do for related posts).. but they are posted to the Actifit community. Look forward to hearing from you. Peace.

Happy birthday, by the way you are currently delegating 500 hive power to @esteemapp, but since a long time rewards payout moved to @ecency account.

If you don't wish to redelegate to @ecency feel free to delegate to our small project 😀

Kind regards
