Exactly eight years ago, on 2017.05.17, I registered on the Steem/Hive blockchain (on Steemit).
I found this platform after a GPU/Mining related Google search, and I clicked on a Steemit post.
Currently I do not remember which post it was, and who was the author of it.
I registered on the same day.
Since then I earned a little bit more than 6330 Hive Power.
A few years ago I powered down and I withdrew a few thousands of it.
And I did the same with a little bit more than $1000 HBD.
Financially I literally survived one winter with my Steem/Hive blockchain earnings.
I spent some on food, on bills, and a few years ago I even bought a smartphone too with it.
I lived in rents, and in a partially collapsed house, and for a short time (approximately for one month), even in a homeless shelter in Hungary in the previous few years.
Nowadays I live in a tent in the rocky semi-desert on Tenerife, and in addition to my low pension-like income for my multiple disabilities, I have occasional jobs too.
And because of this, nowadays I am able to actually invest money (regularly/consistently buy cryptocurrencies for fiat money).
I am able to invest money only since a little bit more than half a year.
Seven months ago (on 2024.10.31) I bought cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) (BTC) for cash (coins) (€25 Euro) for the first time (2024.10.31).
Since then I regularly/consistently buy mostly Litecoin (LTC), and I sell it for Hive and for Hive Dollars (HBD).
Currently I have 3501.772 Hive Power and $1282.05 HBD in savings.
Currently my Hive reputation is 72.
Currently my curation APR is 10.21% (usually it is 7-9%).
I am happy and grateful to finally be able to invest money.
I see the long term perspective of this investment.
Currently my plan is to build both my Hive Power and my Hive Dollars (HBD) savings too for long term (for years, for decades) mainly to build passive income.
I have a detailed Hive Dollars (HBD) savings investment plan for this year:
My Hive Dollars (HBD) savings investment plan for this year (2025.01.25)
My Hive Dollars (HBD) savings goal (having at least $1108.10 HBD in savings before the end of May) is completed for this month.
I wish successful investing to everyone.
🎉🎉🥳 Congratulations 🥳🎊🎊

Steemit was the best.
Those were the good old days.
Blurt.blog … Https://Blurt.blog is very much like those good old days.
I blog over there now.
I’m tired of the endless Downvote wars on Hive .. and all the begging for money and Votes from the DAO / DhF funds … $10,000 a day ??
Reminds me of Free NPR radio, PBS and Wikipedia Funding drives.
I have not really checked DAO/DHF related things so far. I do not really know what is going on there. The downvote wars on Hive are real.
A few years ago I also received a bunch of downvotes from certain accounts. At first they upset me, but after that I have not really paid much attention to them, and they disappeared. Other than this, nowadays I do not have any problems with Hive.
Nowadays I write my blog posts mainly for myself, and I try to focus on the investment part.
I try to regularly/consistently invest both in Hive Power, and in Hive Dollars (HBD) savings, both mainly to build passive income for long term (for years, for decades).

Yeah.
Not very many people on Hive know that a small group of people are being paid $ 10,000 a day from the DHF
This has been going on for a while now.. draining the Value of Hive.

I checked this proposal.
At first I thought that the Hive race car is from some of kind of videos game.
But then I read that this is an actual race car in the Sardegna WRC Rally in Italy.
Probably this is indeed a huge money waste.
There are much better, probably more cost effective methods to advertise the Hive blockchain.
The Hive Management Team has spent millions on this project…. With no results.
It’s a huge scam. They pay themselves $10,000 a day and then downvote you if you ask them any questions or ask for proof of work… any results from this huge investment ????
