HivePowerBday Initiative MODE

When @theycallmedan puts out an initiative then you know shit's about to go down and I was ready to go all in and make sure to be part of it.

Anything to bring the HIVE to the forefront and show other's how awesome this blockchain is, then I'm all in.

The HivePowerBday Initiative is on an poppin' and I'm super stoked to be part of it.

It's important for me to always to shout out my appreciation to @jongolson and The CTP Swarm as I wouldn't have known about the HIVE blockchain without them.

Through the CTP Training, I discovered The HIVE Guide and that brought me here and pretty much never looked back.

Yes, I procrastinated from August 2020 through February 2021, but since February of 2021, I haven't missed a day on the HIVE blockchain.

I believe in this blockchain, it's community and it's ecosystem. I use dApps on the 'chain daily from @dbuzz to @leofinance threads. Front ends like @ecency to @peakd and my health and fitness journey fit right in with @actifit. I became more comfortable being on video using @threespeak

I get to still use online marketing tools like MAILERS and TRAFFIC EXCHANGES, because of the CTP team.

I get to use IG left with @liketu which is one of my favorite dApps on the chain.

In all honesty, I kind of HIVE POWER UP on all the time. I don't even think about it, I just constantly do it. I want to get to that 5500 as fast as possible so just seeing it grow allows me to see the progress in real time all the time lol.

I went ahead a bought a bit of HIVE and and powered up for this intitiative:

The initiative called for a minimum for 10 HIVE, but I had some extra Lite Coin that I converted to Swap-Hive for the today.

I've been busy as heck with work and just life lately and somehow I manage to get in some HIVE activity, which is a telling thing for me.

At this stage of my life outside of my life with my wife Tiffany and her boys, I have work which is just that - work and my health and fitness journey (TEN YEARS and counting) and HIVE.

Yes, Hive has become as important to me as my health and fitness journey. If you look at my off chain social media account for the last handful of years, the most you will see is about my workouts and the community under the orange lights.

I don't take my being part of HIVE lightly. I believe in this community, those behind the scenes that make this blockchain the powerhouse that it is and I care about the ecosystem.

When I first joined HIVE, I came in with the attitude of what can HIVE do for me that quickly changed to what can I do for HIVE.

Happy Third Birthday to the most badass blockchain on the planet! HIVE STRONG!!
