The top 100 only requires you to be active and engage with the communities. Took a few months and I am here.
But the more you grow the harder it is. I am a programmer and I think Hive needs programmers, so as soon as I have free time I will start coding tools and helping people develop code to make Hive better and that is my strategy to jeep growing by working.
For I am gathering ideas and preparing. I hope to tale a 10 day vacation this year to see what can I build and hopefully that will keep the growing momentum.
So the top 100 just needs you to interact, engage and be active socially, achieved that on a few months. From there on is when the challenge begin.
