ARE YOU BULLISH ON HIVE
Hello Hive
What is your greatest investment in life so far?
Can you compare your earnings on hive with a physical job you do?
How long are you willing to stay and invest in the blockchain?
Well well, these are some quality questions you can sit back and ask yourself let's see if the hive ecosystem has been of so much benefits to you.
My greatest investment so far can't be anything more than hive.
I started with nothing 🤓
Hive is that one great investment you can start with nothing yet build a fortune if you are patient enough to follow the due processes.
Personally I don't know of any physical job that has paid me off more than hive.
This is equally so for most of my fellow country people on hive.
May be folks from the other side of the world can tell us of opportunities and their career journey and most likely some jobs that pay off more than hive for them.
I can equally assume that we have friends who could neither blog to earn but believe so much on the blockchain to invest their fiat and hard earned money into hive for some form of quality ROI.
How long am I willing to invest on hive.
Hive itself has provided a friendly frontier that is helping me invest on hive.
The payout from post has been splitter such that I can have a portion for immediate spending in form of HBD while a portion is automatically set aside for me as a future investment on hive.
Let's say that I may not keeo blogging for eternity but my hive power can stay till then.
If the HBD payout can provide enough for my needs why withdraw the HP laying as future money.
There is equally a freedom of choice to power down.
No body is tying you to follow some rule or a must to keep your hive power, that's one freedom you enjoy in hive investment.
You are in control of your money and can invest in which ever wag you desire.
So I could power down and trade some HP to try multiply my stakes or use it for some investment that can pay off as well.
I guess all this rant means that am bullish on hive till God knows when 😆😃🤓

Hive is one great investment just as you've mentioned.
You start with nothing but with patience you get more.
Exactly..
Thanks for the support and for stopping by 🌺
I think my greatest investment is HIVE too.
However, unlike where you are, fiat jobs here pay waaaaaay more than blogging on HIVE. Last time I had a traditional job was back in 2019 - and the pay was $16 an hour. It was HORRIBLE pay, and the only reason I accepted was because the job was walking distance from my house, and I was scheduled to work between 9am and 2pm which meant I could take the kids to school and pick them up, but the budget was really tight.
In fact I would not have survived on that income if both my husband (who does not live with me) AND my father had both given me a stipend.
Minimum wage back then was $12 an hour, now its $15, but most jobs around here pay $18-$21 for entry levels.
The good thing about that means that all my HIVE earnings get to stay on HIVE - and wow, they sure do grow. My blogging earns in bits and pieces but the interest rates, and the games and all the other things on the blockchain make the account grow.
Now that its grown I look at the account every month and consider powering down, however, I know that I would spend the money in a month or two, and here, it can keep growing and fund my retirement.
Wow... Unless the standard of living in your country is high $16 is a huge amount here and to think that you can get that per hour.
Minimum wage here is $70per month, that $2 per day and barely a cent per hour...
The work is very very stressful too. You resume by morning and close at night.
Besides the jobs aren't readily available.
If I have your kind of pay here I would be rich without support 🤓.
Maybe standard of living in terms or rent and others may rise up to meet the wages but if all things remain the way they are, your minimum wage can make anyone here get rich easily.
Thanks for your engagement on my post.

I live in Southern California, the cost of living is ludicrous, though I fully understand that the work (at least the work available for me) is "easy" work, it still needs to pay at least that much to be able to afford life.
The job consisted of sitting in an office (air conditioned) and answer phones, or file paperwork, and send emails out etc.
I know we have it good, so I am not complaining, just noting differences.
My home for example, cost $650,000 and is an "average" sized home, yet on the older side. It was built in the 1950's and needs constant and consistent repairs. I love it, of course, but one would think that $650,000 would equal up to something GRAND, not average.
My four kids and I spend about $1200 a month on groceries. I make sure to buy them as much organic stuff as possible though that's getting tough with inflation.
I also have a home garden. I could do better though, when I was living off of $16 an hour I was spending 696$ on groceries, but there were only three kids back then.
My utilities include water, sewer, gas, electric, phone, internet... about $700 a month
Then there is house insurance (mandatory cause of the mortgage) car insurance (mandatory in california), health insurance (mandatory as well) and those.
We do live nice, and we do enjoy our lifestyle, but we sure do pay for it.
I would say that the people around me all spend about the same amount of money on stuff, though I have four children and that really is an anomoly out here - most people have two, and we are in "big family" territory.

Wow.... This does mean that you spend almost as much as you earn.
No savings can come out of this.
Well thank God for hive, you can at least have something growing here.
The standard of living is just high and I can understand why you need larger wages.
I really wish you well my dear friend much as I wish that we all have enough money to live a comfortable life.

Thank you!
It really does start to feel like Monopoly Money after a while.
Here in California we can't really use HIVE to live off of, but believe me, we still need it. It is the first time I have ever been able to truly build a savings.
Besides 4kids isn't too many at all..
I have six siblings. We are 7 from my mum..
The minimum here is still 6kids and above.

I agree. I love my four kids and wouldn't want life any other way.
6 kids seems like a lot, but large families are beautiful.
I have four kids and its not "normal" but when I was a kid, there were three of us, and that was pretty standard. My parents both came from 6 sibling households.
I wonder how many kids will be "normal" where you are in just a few generations.
You know, this is where each country's currency and exchange rates come into place. That $16 per hour is
hoogehuge money here. Not that huge but when calculate to about 8-12 hours of work each day. My dear, I am almost a millionaire by the end of the month 😂I understand.
Let me know how much you pay for your housing, and get ready for me to start crying.
None like Hive, therefore am bullish Monica!

Halleluya..🙌🔥
Oh my! When I saw this, I was like here comes the motivational story 😂
Very well, most people in here started with nothing. But only a portion are ready to see it through the due process. Definitely, going through it well will pay on the long run.
Honestly, Hive has made some of the people in my environment see me as proud. Because any job offer I see, I put it side by side with the least I can get here. And when I see that its not worth it, I cut it off.😂
By the way, its been a while, mama @monica-ene 😁
