Hello my dearest Hivers, have you seen this challenge? If not I invite you to come along and tell us why you show up everyday on the platform. In the meantime, come with me while I tell you the unique things about Hive that makes me show up everyday.
My belief on the platform
I was counting down to my second anniversary in the hive when someone took a look at my wallet, and was like, "Funshee, wow, you are having over 1k hive power, what are you waiting for? Why don't you power it down and sell it?" And I asked him, Why should I do that? And he was like, What if it goes to zero and the platform folds up?
I just smiled and told him, Hive is different from other platforms or other tokens out there, hive is way more than a token, there is a unique and powerful thing about hive and that is the community of dedicated people, they are not just traders but community builders. And that is why we are still here today. On that day, this person wasn't so convinced about my beliefs on the platform, but I bet if he were to be reading this post today, he would realize that I was right.
This year has been tough for crypto, many projects folding up, tokens getting delisted from trading platforms, while some going to zero and I think Hive price being where it's today is not bad. Which is thanks to a strong community backing it up.
This is why I'm still here and believe a lot of other Hivers share this belief.
Hive is backed by dedicated community members, bound by common goals and aspirations of building the best Web3 platforms. Yes, this platform is not perfect but it gives people many reasons to keep on coming back for more.
Hive as my therapist
Hive gives me a space to share my thoughts, feel seen and heard. This is healing and beautiful. A place that is different and better than toxic web 2 social platforms. I write here straight from my heart, I pour in my emotions and I feel welcome and supported. This is one reason I will keep on coming back each day as long as this Blockchain is still standing and I'm still able.
Anyone can build on hive
Have gives us many ways to earn and grow our wallets, from creating content,to engaging with other users, from curating contents and even from promoting hive on web 2 platforms contesy of an initiative like @hive-echo and the others. Anyone can earn, regardless of your prio crypto knowledge or your financial background. A long you are dedicated.

When I started my hive journey over four years ago, I got zero hive power and today through creating content and engaging with others, aside hive being my side hustle that has supported me in all these years, I'm on my way to having 3k hive power. Tell me which other platforms give creators such a juicy incentive as hive. Being able to start from zero, and build up my account with something I can fall back to in the future is very encouraging. Even when the token price is low, which is a crypto general thing this year, or the reward is little or much I'm still encouraged to keep showing up and putting in my best.
Friends along the way
Some of the coolest people I know are here on hive, people with beautiful souls and awesome hearts. People whose story inspires me, and those who have helped my journey in many ways that I can mention. They are part of the reason I keep showing up.
Diverse communities
One of the beauties of Hive is that whatever your interest is, there is a community for it, or you can create your very own community for it. This diversity in interest makes hive never a boring place to be, so I will keep on coming back to identify with communities that align with me.
These are part of the unique reasons I am still here, @ibbtammy , @ozd, and @cagolistic. I know hive give you plenty reasons to keep coming back each day and I will love to read them when you share your thoughts in this challenge.

Thank you guys for your time and support, see you around, in the meantime, Hive on with sawg 😊.
All Images are mine
Hive is indeed where Pai can pour my heart out. Congratulations on your growth 🎊
Thank you very much dear @lecia89
Inspiring post. Indeed hive has made it possible for us all to build in a way that is uniquely ours. I love the way you see the ecosystem as a therapy. Indeed it is. I have never felt so seen and heard than I am in hive compared to other web 3 spaces.
We are very lucky for what this platform is giving us, and we will continue to take it to a greater height. ❣️😊
Òmò, I love reading real stories like this.
See how it started from scratch and transcended to greatness.
My Sis, I don't really know what I was doing all these years. Wasting my time and data on some crypto stuffs on Telegram that nearly levelled my budgeted crypto funds.
However, I was I trounced to this ecosystem through a beautiful soul @ivyann and boom ,I started receiving my dividends withing one week.
Today at about 5months, I am not doing too bad. Though it is still a learning ,unlearning and improving moment for me.
I dig your doggedness @funshee ,thank you for the mention.
I appreciate 🙏
You are very welcome dear @cagolistic 😊❣️
You are doing beautifully, one would think you have been here for a much longer time. Keep showing up and putting in your best. In the next few years, you will be very glad 😊 you did.
I commend your resilience and consistency, considering the fact that you're barely 5 months old here but looks like you've spent years. That's awesome!
Let's keep Hiveing!
