We Are Alive Tribe

3 Year Hive-aversary

The time has flown by very quickly and I have managed to reach my 3 year Hive-aversary. I initially signed up to Hive on the 24th of December 2021 and embarked on this fantastic journey.

Along came my 1st, 2nd and now 3rd year anniversary. It has been a pretty intense year for me and despite some of my ongoing health problems, tried to continue blogging regularly on Hive.

If I look back over the year, I've notcied much less on chain activity, but this can also be where I haven't been active in the most hyped/supported areas on Hive such as Vibes or Holozing where you may get higher curation but are not things that have interested me.

This seems to have followed the ebbs and flows of the Hive token falling to new lows without getting new users despite lots of spending given out by the DHF for marketing. People are initially attracted here mostly to try and earn and with a low token price it doesn't work.

Anyhow, the token seems to have gotten a new lease of life lately and things are looking better for Hive.

Looking back at my own year on Hive, it has been shaped by lots of Splinterlands that has now faded as we close the year out. In fact I was even playing Gods Unchained and some other online gaming but as the year comes to a close, I haven't gamed much at all.

The highlight of the year was to visit Hamburg and the Hivebuzz Party there which was amazing. It was good to meet some of the real life Hivers and see how passionate they are and how some can party very hard core! 😂

I also parted ways with Betsy my old car during the year and have not replaced her yet. Instead I have been cycling until the weather stopped that.

As the year progressed my posts were then mostly threetunetuesday, cinetv or some technical posts or random personal blog posts about DIY, gardening or Hive.

As the world evolves ever more into Clownworld and you can be restricted on web2 for going against the algorithm, it is important to have a place to blog and make content and Hive is one of those places.

I am pondering what is my future on Hive as I do grapple with if it is worth it? I think it is worth whatever you want to make it. Hive is no longer the new tech and is less decentalised than other platforms, but it still has lots of things going for it that do not exist on other platforms and others cannot recreate this formula here.

A big thanks to all my Hive friends who have supported me this year and I wish you an amazing and successful 2025.

Thanks for reading.

Ahhh me aul flower congratulations on your anniversary I feel I know you a lot longer than 3 years and you are part of the furniture now . I used to tag you in many things until I worked out only a few weeks ago that you were not @mypathoffire but more a path to fire . You have me sick with the worry about those health problems now so you do. Get a pair of mudguards for the bike and you will be fine. How low does it go out your way? -10 ? Just buy a pair of gloves. It’s good to have you on Hive anyway. You are good craic. Better craic than you are on Twitter anyway 🥸.
@hivebuzz(74)· 603d

Happy Hive Birthday @mypathtofire 🎉🎈🎂🎉🎈

The Hive token price, one of the great mysteries of mankind, maybe not the price so much as the trends. The way it can pump against the general market direction is pretty unreal at times. As for decentralised and new tech, yeah it is not as all that as many maxis would have us believe. Hive is unique though, it is a great social platform and I love the way you can earn crypto for engaging. For some third world countries Hive really can be a life changer, which for some in the West can be hard to understand. Web2 it is not and won't have that mass adoption, but it is great to put memories down on the blockchain. Don't get me started on the DHF or vibes. Congrats on your 3 years Hive birthday Steve, I was a couple of months before you. As for the gaming, I never really got the appeal of NFTbased games, they don't really have the excitement level of a PS5 game to me. We are all different though, and there is something for everyone on Hive. The price though is anyone's guess as to where it will go! Look after your health and I wish you a happy healthy and prosperous 2025.

Harmful Microplastics in Teabags

Microplastics are linked to serious health issues, such as impaired reproductive health, disruption of the endocrine system, weight gain, insulin resistance, and even cancer.

Recently, researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona published a study in the journal Chemosphere, on sciencedirect. They discovered that when we drink tea from a teabag, we are also ingesting numerous microplastics and nanoplastics. These microplastics do not pass through our bodies via feces; instead, they are absorbed by intestinal cells, which can cause harm to our health.

Congrats on three years! I hit it this year too but really didn't blog until around two years ago. Splinterlands is how I arrived, it's a shame it's not doing nearly as well now. Saying goodbye to your car Betsy must have been hard, especially without a replacement. It would be hard to live here without a car because everything is so spread out. Hopefully this next year treats us well, it really is what you make it and Hive does offer more decentralization, but the debt has me worried.
@josediccus(83)· 609d
Congratulations on your 3rd year. We cannot all jump on the bandwagon of the most supported or curated niche, as we might not have the affinity or the interest to be there. I think these niches have their seasons and they fade with time. Congratulations again.
@relf87(76)· 609d
Congrats on the milestone! All the best for your 4th year!

Congratulations on your anniversary! It seems to me that I have known you for a very long time, more than three years. You are one of the few people I trust to know what is going on in this crazy world of cryptocurrencies. The future is uncertain, but I believe Hive can hold on, and we all will be together. And I wish you good luck and good health in the New Year. !INDEED

When I switch between writing on Twitter and writing here on Hive, I conciously make a mental shift. Even with the functionality to create support short form content - Hive is not an environment that rewards or fosters reactionary content.

Legacy social media rewards and encourages a shallower and more kinectic mode. Hive is closer to old style forums, and a more measured conversation. It certainly doesn't mean a lack of passion, rather that passion is expressed with depth.

Good luck and remember, the 10 year anniversary should be also getting you close to be a Hive whale, good path to fire, I think. Is one of my 3 projects to achieve fire. Hive whale. Sound nice.
