Good for you! I'm so glad you were able to get things in a better position for your business. I agree with you, that Hive is for MANY purposes, and pretending like everyone has the same needs, goals, and abilities and is able to follow the same plan is flat out incorrect. Goodness knows I've tried to build my stake as much as I can but I've had to cash out a little here and there to pay the bills, because that's just life. But like you, I count that as a win, because I HAD it to use when I needed it. I think way more people are going to be interested in something like "build yourself an emergency savings account" than "gamble on an even-more-fluctuating stock market."

Preaching to the choir, girl. What an AWESOME Hive Challenge that would make, right?? Tell us about ONE impossible financial challenge that you were able to solve simply by liquidating some Hive. @eddiespino - you're welcome.
It's especially relevant for entrepreneurs and solo mamas and people not quite making enough in their day job....
In the tightening economic times ahead, this is a REALLY compelling argument for using your social media time better and building yourself an economic safely hatch.
I also think women are less prone to the crypto gambling motivation, and a lot of the decision making on Hive is made by techno-nerd males who have a completely different psychographic profile than maybe the end users who would stick at it.
I'm a he, by the way. LOL
But yeah, your comment reminds me about the docu Half the Sky where they were talking about how if you gave money to the men of many struggling families, often they would spend it on comforts like cigarettes or alcohol or sweets and the family wouldn't be any better off; but if you gave it to the women of the family, they sent their kids to school, invested in their business, repaired their house, or made a savings account. There's a real social difference, I think, that of course isn't universal but does count for something. I mean, I know plenty of spendthrift women and frugal men, but there's probably something about society that leads to that norm that it's often the other way around.
I have NO IDEA why my default thought with your profile is that you're female. Consider it a compliment. 😆 But sorry. Only sorta not sorry. 🤣
Half the Sky is an amazing doco, to be sure. I'm a fan. I think in marketing of ANY product (not just Hive) we tend not to appreciate the different motivations the various genders have. If we're looking for consistent Hivers who STAY and work on their side hustle for long term gain, marketing data would suggest we need to be considering the female trigger spots far more.
