OurPick encouragement program is part of the @Liotes ecosystem, where quality posts are curated. Authors are encouraged to continue creating content, adding value to various communities, and contributing to Hive in general.

Occasionally, we will select a couple of outstanding posts that we find particularly interesting and suggest them for your further reading... We hope it will help authors as an additional promotional tool... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes add extra value to the entire ecosystem, helping authors and curators follow their niches and dreams...


Oh, man... To lose that kind of money really sucks! I have probably lost more by HODLing many of my altcoins, but that's different... Or, is it? 😃
Regarding prediction markets, I played around with Polymarket when it was "almost-at-TGE" (which still didn't happen), but it was more about "mining" credits and trying to get some in the airdrop (if it happens)... Similarly to you, I did lose some money, but I didn't go as deep as you...
Back to accumulation! We are not that far from the bottom, so maybe we can recover sooner...


With all the new tech gadgets, it will be easier and easier to livestream events, as they are more affordable. So, in a nutshell, what we see in the VAR room on a TV from a soccer match, you have the same equipment in your backpack? 😃 Tablet, router, small cameras, and you are ready to go!
Nice setup! Good luck with your first gig!


I did the same... Having experience from previous "cycles," I did take profits on the way up this time, but I was probably too greedy waiting for the "last pump"... But, on the other hand, those profits pay (and paid) bills during the tough times like now... As there is no spare money atm, no problems where to invest them... lol...
And regarding music... My wife is giving lessons in 2 private schools, but when summer comes, all that goes away... A few gigs that appear during the rest of the year are nice additional income, but in summer, all that people want is sun and the beach... Taking the piano to the beach isn't an option, so waiting for the autumn to come... 😃
Good luck with your album, and hopefully you will need to print more! 🥂


Your story is deeply meaningful; it shows us that the union of the parts is stronger than the capabilities of each part taken separately. That mental barrier kept her safe, but she was set free when the barrier came down, precisely when she was ready for it, and that was when she realised her greatness.
The accompanying design is striking; it’s very powerful, and the movement you’ve given it is perfect. The colours enhance that impact and the meaning of the text. It’s an excellent composition.


I’m so glad to hear that you and your son are both well; hearing about the earthquake really worried me, as there are so many people I know and care about.
Reading about your experience in such detail has sent shivers down my spine and made me feel the anguish you’ve been through; imagining those moments and the terror you experienced, plus all the thoughts that go through your mind at a time like that. What’s more, your health was at breaking point at the time, but even so, your body responded to the priority: saving your son. So far, I’ve managed to get in touch with the people I know and they’re all fine. I hope there won’t be any more aftershocks, although you never know, you live in fear that it might happen again. I hope the material damage can be repaired, but today the most important thing is that you’re both alive; I’m so grateful for that.


I’m glad you view it as a gift to yourself; after all, we have to live by making ourselves happy. Things are a bit strange around here, so I wanted to wish you an early happy birthday and remind you that I love you dearly and that you’re one of my best friends here on Hive. Sending good health to everyone at home, especially your mom, and I hope everything goes well so you can keep sharing these valuable posts with us here on Hive.
