Today's post was meant to be of a completely different nature, but yesterday I stumbled accross Anniversary Post by @flaxz and since the deadline for participating in anniversary celebration contest is by tomorrow, I thought I better change my plans!
There is a badge to win and I do love badges
Truth be told, I don't even know how I managed to find the #ALIVE tribe so early on my Hive journey, but I am sure happy and grateful that I did. If I had to guess it would be through my chattines when I first joined Hive. I quickly made it to #Ecency Leaderboard and I guess I gathered that good idea would be to check out other people on that Leaderboard and that's how I first read a post by @tydynrain in which he mentioned Gaia.
Rarely do I hear people saying this word, so it sparked my interest and I got into a nice chat with him and of course he turned out to be just a kind of person who would use this word to describe mother Earth. I'm not sure if my first ALIVE tip came from him or someone else, but I was instantly curious about the tipping commands and their requirements. To be able to tip ALIVE you'll need a round 1 000 ALIVE tokens staked and while that seemed like a long journey, I decided to take it.
#ALIVEANDTHRIVING and #ALIVE tags have become my go to for almost every post of mine's. I mean, we're all alive and the topics I often write about are very alive too, since they're mainly nature related. Even days when I feel barely alive, I write about how not alive and thriving I feel. In general, these tags just rang true to my core from the very beginning and people active in the Alive Tribe are very much my kind of people, hence I had no issue fitting right in.
I love that #alive tribe has a weekly schedule of activities with various prizes to win throughout each week. For someone just starting on Hive (and anyone else for that matter) it is a perfect opportunity to grow the network, while having lots of fun and opportunities to win great prizes. What's not to love about it?
That leads me to the best memory from the We Are Alive tribe over the past year...
Please don't laugh!
My best memory was when I first won 500 ALIVE tokens delegation. I was over the moon when I saw the notification from Friday bot. I felt like I won the lottery 😁 That's when I also realised that with this amount staked you get nice drips of LOLZ, DHEDGE, BRO and PGM every single day!
My second even bestest memory was when I won my second 500 ALIVE tokens delegation and for a few days I had that round 1k AP, which allowed me to spread the Alive love by tipping 10 times a day! I had a time of my life spreading the tips around and if I wasn't sure before, by that time I was 100% sure that having 1K Alive Power is becoming one of my goals on Hive.
I set the target to achieve this for the end of this year, but I am sure to achieve it much earlier than this, hopefully some time in the summer. I keep a close eye on the price of the alive token and set buy orders when I have some spare swap.hive laying around. Not that I have a lot laying around while I rarely posted recently, but hopefully my activity is about to pick up agan, after I had a serious chat with myself 😉
That said, I really need to also get back to those weekly activities in the Alive Tribe. It used to be a good habit I had and these days I only remember to always stake my ALIVE for weekly staking contest, but not the other activities I used to participate in. Hopefully writing all this will be a good reminder and a kick in the bum to continue with good habits.
Above all, I want to wish everyone in We are alive tribe a very happy 2nd anniversary, although including #IAmAlive challenge it is actually the 3rd anniversary of this project.
You have created something very special here and I am very grateful for finding your tribe during my very first weeks on Hive. Members of this tribe made me feel at home here from the very beginning of my journey. Keep being amazing and ALIVE!
Until next time 💙
