Congratulations! It's quite admirable to see and learn the story of such a great veteran of this place, truly. Especially since I'm new here with just under two years and 2.5k HP. It sounds incredible to read that back then things weren't easy here at all, as you describe, and it gives me a pretty good idea just from my experience working on similar web3 platforms.

I feel quite fortunate reading about your experience and your beginnings, since getting my first 100 HP wasn't difficult at all when I started in 2024. Of course, I already had experience in the crypto world, as well as a defined niche as a content creator. But what I mean is that the information, the guides, and all the help I received when I started on Hive is a benefit that didn't exist back then, and that should be appreciated.

In my case, I could have started many years earlier, in 2021 when I first heard about Hive in a popular YouTube video on this side of the world. The problem was that the video didn't speak very highly of Hive, and that gave me an idea of what the platform was like, so I decided not to start and even ignored having lost access to my main account. But after several years, several falls and several disappointments in the crypto world, fate made me return here and I took advantage of the experience and knowledge I had to start all over again.

That's why I keep going like this, because Hive is still standing and that's valued much more than anyone thinks or believes.

Thank you so much for sharing your successes and your experience at Hive. You are a great role model.
