Thank you for your wishes and sharing your journey with me. That's true that everyone has their own experience here and it all depends on what is it that you are looking to gain here.
When I joined the platform it was all greek and latin for me, it was a whole new world to explore and to be honest till date I am not pro in cryptos. I have just gained enough knowledge to sail me through.
I can say it's a mix of all, passion for writing, the desire to engage with people and to earn something out of it all together makes me stick here.
I too wish you many more successful years in your Hive journey.
