What a beautiful post and a nice reflection on your journey, Les! It is interesting that those "core Hivians," as you, came to HIVE for a completely different reason, but when they found the community, connections, and bonds, they stayed for the people!
I recall that I joined the chain because of Splinterlands, and I had no idea about the blogging aspect of the chain at all. I came in search of a way to earn some spare money by playing games, and in the end, I met many great people here, not just online, but also offline.
There is no price you can tag on that!
Thanks for the mention! Recently, I had some regular offline work every Wednesday, so I couldn't do the #HHHLive... Hopefully, I will continue with it after the holidays... I miss it a lot!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions Posts!
