My Favorite HIVE Authors .:. Late Night Blogging

As you probably already know, I'm the co-owner of the @liotes project, and every Wednesday, we have "so-called missions" where we ask the community different questions and interact with them in the comment section... Many times, we create an interesting mission, but as owners, we are not participating in it, which is a pity... 😃 It was a similar case this week when we asked the community to list their favorite HIVE authors... That gave me the idea for this post, where I would like to share with you my favorite authors, why I like them, and show them my appreciation!

There are no special rankings, who is the first, the second, etc... Just to clarify, I follow many other authors who I like too, but this post would be too long if I would list all of them... Also, as I'm doing curation for the @Ourpick "sub-project", I regularly check new authors in a seek for new information and new people to follow... I would suggest to all of you the same thing... Don't create your bubble and stay in it all the time... Try to make new friends, search for new people... That will keep you fresh, you will get new ideas, and probably new perspectives...

Back to my favorite authors... Let's start with @achim03... He is my partner at @liotes and we have very similar views about a lot of things, but many times, we are not on the same page... 😃 The thing that I like in his posts is his "deep involvement" in the topic of what he writes... Lately, he has focused on optimizing his Splinterlands play and he shares tips about his favorite cards, strategies in the game, etc... As I don't have too much time to do that myself lately, his posts are a great source of information for me!

I know that he has "tested" the cards that he writes about and I kind of follow his recommendation for my in-game purchases... Also, when I have some doubts about the game, I share them with him in the comment section... The best thing is that he appreciates others' opinion, compare them with his, and re-evaluate his (and others) approach... Not many people are "open" to critiques, and in general, people try to "silence" others... Achim will not silence you if you have a different opinion...

Speaking of different opinions, I will go to my next favorite author, which is @gadrian... If you are playing Splinterlands, or if you are involved in different types of crypto investing, he is probably the author that you should follow... He isn't a guy that will just copy-paste some crypto news and share it with you... He will write a post about the news, share his own perspective, and maybe even share his approach to it... Not like financial advice, but just more like sharing his way to do it...

Now, not rarely, I have quite opposite opinion from him and that's probably why I like to read his posts! It's important to acknowledge that differences can attract and only by having different opinions, we can grow... That's a huge aspect of life and I truly believe that we have to "clash opinions" with others to grow... If not, we will be stuck in that "bubble" that I mentioned at the beginning, where nobody will progress as we "think" that we are doing great compared with others that do the same as we...

So, having a different view of things is great! The comments section of @gadrian's posts is always on fire! As his posts are provocative and engaging, people leave comments sharing their views... When I learn something new from his post, I know that I will learn even more by checking the comments!

The third author that I would like to mention is one that I have found lately and it was an interesting encounter... Her name is @macchiata and she writes blog posts about different topics... I think that my wife suggested I should check her posts when she said: "Check out this girl's post! She had the same view as you about crypto, taxes, finances, etc..." 😃 And I did that... I was reading her post where she was ranting about crypto, privacy, taxes, etc., and you probably know my views about that stuff too... Almost the same!

I suppose that I like her posts as she shares her view about crypto and her own journey, and says in loud mistakes and flaws about it... Going deep into the roots of the problem helps with locating the issue itself... When you have the naked truth about something, it's easier to take the "right decision"... It's like when you are looking "through" a person and you see its' soul... Like in investing, when you do your research, see the real value (or not) of an asset, and you are 100% sure that it will succeed...

In a conclusion, every author that I have mentioned (and others that I follow) has a different "role" in my HIVE journey... In a certain way, unconsciously, I have diversified them... 😃 I like @achim's posts as I can get insights into a well-researched topic (by him)... In @gadrian's case, I get a great discussion about my (or better said OUR) future investment which gives me sometimes a crucial idea of what direction to go... And finally, @macchiata's posts help me to see that I'm not alone and that some other people think, feel, and react similarly to me... Also, her posts serve as a mirror, as we are similar in many ways... It's maybe a kind of a bubble, but it is also a reflection where I can spot the good and bad that can be improved (in both of us)!

Like I said at the beginning, there are many other authors that I follow and the main advantage of HIVE is that we can check others' opinions and views about different things... HIVE isn't just another "news portal", HIVE is a community of vibrant people who help each other to grow and thrive... I'm grateful for every single person who engaged with me and I wouldn't be the person that I am without all of you!

Thank you for your time,
