“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

Introspective

253 posts over 4 years. Not really a lot.

Ever since elementary school I was labelled a slow learner and it stayed that way through Highschool until it was discovered that it wasn’t my thinking was slow but the way my information is processed that made the English language appear like a foreign language that made little sense. Thank God for Autocorrect.

Writing is always a challenge to me, so I settled to writing on a consistent weekly basis pouring my energy into one good post a week. I have difficulty of setting aside decent tracts of time, so I spread it out through the week as time and energy permits. Selecting the topic on Tuesday, photography Wednesday, research Thursday, writing Friday, proofing many times over on Saturday and Posting for early Sunday Morning. Then following up on the comments Sunday night or Monday morning. With a busy off-line life, that plan will vary. So, I try to stay routine where possible.

Since this isn’t my typical posting, I can take this opportunity to express my feelings on my experience on our social blockchain. I’m no hardcore survivalist but I can see the writing on the wall things are not going well with world economics and our current system. The transition into a new system will likely be a painful one. Stacking precious metals is only a part of a preparation plan to preserve buying power after the transition.

It wasn’t very long that I became convinced that Crypto currencies would make an ideal component of my preparations. And a realistic potential as a residual source of income should I retire or if when society no longer needed people with Nursing skills. Hive and other Crypto represents Value and buying power saved outside the current crumbling system. It’s why I admire our South American sisters on #ladiesofhive who shared their experience and creative ways of supplementing their living on Hive. And we in the first world can learn something from them.

I’ve originally arrived with a group of members from a YouTube Silver Stackers community back in August 2017.

I admit I was totally intimidated by the unfamiliar structure and almost put off by the steep learning curve. Learned to code. Taking the time to learn what the community expectations were, I just read and commented for the first several months before I put up my very first post.

My original Introductory Post

Looking back there were many times I’d almost jump ship. My first feelings of quitting were when I couldn’t keep pace with posting. I simply could not post daily. Three times a week was pushing it using every scrap of time and at the expense with time with my kids all for sub dollar posts.

I persevered by the encouragement of others at the right times. Sometimes a valuable tip, a few extra Hive, even a gift. It happens just when I was about to pull the plug on my Hive experiment. Through the Crypto Winter, the Blockchain police, and the Steem/Hive exodus, I had to keep going back to the original plan of why I was here. Networking to build a Crypto based safety net should other means fail.

One by one I seen most of my original group go silent including the person who first talked us into signing up. By now @Silversaver888 and I remain of that group and at least @stokjockey still hangs around the #silvergoldstackers community. My ‘Sis’ got me out of my Lone Wolf mode by getting me involved with Ladies of Hive. We have shed the YouTube label and have locked arms the with our core stacking veterans as the among the most stubborn and faithful of the bunch.

Here's hoping for an outstanding year five.

Yay! It’s September 1st Hive Power Up Day.

This month’s HPUD won’t be as dramatic as the previous two months, but I am happy to always add some Hive horsepower at any day. The bulk of the Hive came from my buying a few dips on Binance, 35 Hive from HBD, 21 Hive from Utopis income, and about 2 Hive from miscellaneous sources.

Ta daa!

Now giving me a current 0.239 Max Upvote!

And I may as well power up the Leo Tokens too!

Ta ta daa!

Now giving me a current 0.154 Max Upvote!

And that concludes another FUN HPUD so Bee Happy everyone!

Thank you again @traciyork, @hivebuzz and everyone else involved in this Fun Initiative.
