It's only taken just shy of six years!
But that's OK. I've enjoyed almost every step of the way, but like every path, there are ups and downs, twists and turns.
I'm always going to be in awe of my class of 2017/18 who are right out there in the 100Ks but every one of them deserve to be where they are now and I'm very proud of them.
On Hive we have the ability to plough our own furrows and take as much time as we choose, there is nothing to stop anyone on Hive getting whatever they so desire from the platform, whether that be huge HP tallies or a little additional income to improve their lot in life, or both!
Hive gives us choices
Hive means a million different things to a million different people and that's its big advantage over any other form of social media, as well as occasionally being its achilles heel!
Hive isn't all about rewards. It isn't about blogging per se. It isn't even about (sorry, not sorry, libertarians) decentralisation or censorship resistance.
Hive is about people, humanity if you will.
Hive brings people together from across the world, without geo-political or economic barrier and dumps them all in one big cauldron of human stew, and as in 'real' life, there are those who get along, those don't. There are sociable souls and loners, extroverts and introverts, and they're all welcome.
Hive is about authenticity
Anyway, the point of the post was simply to say thank-you to everyone. Thank-you for the support, the votes, the engagement and interaction, not forgetting Dan and Ned who put all this shooting match together, and gave us it for free.
I have drunk free beer because two blokes I have never, and will never meet nor know, created a blockchain based social media platform, and gave it to the world. How amazing is that?
That's it for now. I'm currently too busy with work and proper adulting type stuff to post much at the moment but I'll be back soon.
Have a wonderful weekend and best wishes to all.
Life isn't about the hustle. It's about the humanity, humility and gratitude

@ninahaskin thank-you very much :-)
You're welcome!😊
Congratulations dear.. cheers to greatness 🥂
Thank you very much...not sure about greatness lol...I'll keep working towards it though!
What a milestone, congratulations nathen..
Congrats 🙂
Yes never ever have I met so many likeminded people all around the world as within the 2 years being on hive. Not sure what makes the difference, maybe its magic? Or is it that hive doesnt come with easy click and join without caring, wich attracts another kind of people.
Thank you and I think that's a very astute point about Hive being difficult and thus the 'quality' is maintained. Things that have genuine worth are never easy!
Keep going, and I hope you're having the best week you can :-)
Oh congratulations on your achievement friend!

Thank you. We all are. Our uniqueness strengths and faults all make us amazing.
Keep fighting :-)
Sadly I can't seem to help myself :|
I have, however, learned to pace myself a liddle better. Took a couple of days off to ground after the weekend news. It's gorgeous out here, you know. Wouldn't want to miss summer!
And thanks, N :D <3
p.s. you keep fighting too.
Or perhaps we should change this to "resisting" ?
Less scary for people...
Also...R3sist!!! 😈
Congrats on the milestone!
So very true. I just left the HiveBeeCon meet up in Krakow tonight, and am still buzzing with the excitement of the night.
Thank you, I've just bookmarked some of the reports to read up later and it looked like a fantastic event with an even better guest list. Glad you had a great time :-)
Congratulations, I also started out in late 2017 and to be very honest, hive is a different type of opportunity on it's own, a gem that unites and enlightens. Welcome to dolphinhood, many more success ahead
Thank-you mate. The future of humanity should be built around platforms of respectful free speech and discourse.

...should be!
Wow, that's serious hard work buddy. Congrats on this milestone attained.
How fantastic that you are already a dolphin. Congratulations

Congratulations, I remember my version, engrossed with the process that the end just came as a surprise. It's good to see people who've been around here long get that status, shows reinvestment in the community. Thank you for sticking around :>
Thank you @adamada. I stick around because there are lovely people who provide me with interesting and often thought provoking posts to entertain, inform and educate me....don't quit anytime soon, will you mate?
Hope you're having a great week :-)
Wow.. and Congratulations!

Me too. Thank you for giving me new perspectives. What's 10k amongst friends? Numbers are just relative, anyway ;-)
Wooohhoooooo you done it!
Welcome to the club 🥳🎉
Congratulations on becoming a dolphin 🐬 up to your next goal!
Would be cool if you make 10k before your birthday 🎂
Have a fantastic weekend further.
@littlebee4 you're an inspiration, lady! Sandisk send their best wishes because trying to keep up with your appetite for taking photos, sales of memory cards in Thailand have doubled!
Keeping doing what you do, you're always going to be way ahead :-)
