Hive & H-E Witness announcement post

Hello everyone,

Recently I decided to take a step forward in my involvement with Hive. Nothing more & nothing less than helping on the validation layer with my own witness node: @empo.witness

Hive has given me a lot, so why not give something back...? It's the least an individual can do for a place/ecosystem which I'm already used to calling 'home'.

Who I am?

If you've been around the Leofinance umbrella, probably you might have come across one of my posts somewhere, since I've been posting from this account since mid-2019 approx.
My Steem Hive history comes since long before, around mid-late 2017. When I discovered HIVE and fell into the rabbit hole I have not been able to detach myself ever since.

I'm one of those 'self-made' crypto traders who learned his lesson the hard way. Got financially wrecked in 2018, recovered, and surged from its own ashes through a lot of sweat in 2020-2021(and a few tears along the way...).

In mid-2021 I launched my own project ('SEED') inspired by other ventures in the Hive-Engine ecosystem like SPI & UTOPIS. So far it's been an awesome experience while I'm still building the foundations and I can't be more grateful with the Hive community overall.

I felt that setting up a 'backup witness' was the natural step forward. Also in Hive Engine, since I'm running my own business on its infrastructure.

Server Specs

@bala41288 is helping me in the background with the technical endeavors.
The witness is on a VPS from @privex with the following specs:

CPU: 4 Core
RAM: 16 GB
SSD: 500 GB
OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Current Focus

Most of my Hive activity is related to my own project & the SEED token. Logically this won't change but I'm always looking to support other communities & empower other builders.

I notice that although trading & asset management is a big 'core' of my daily activity/thinking I'm slowly shifting to a 'buidl mentality'; & surely I WANT to keep building things on Hive, since I feel this is my home chain.

I would be very grateful to receive your vote as a witness. A big thank you for your support.

I wish I had a bunch of million HP on that vote, but OGs are poor these days... 😀

The expansion continues.

Each step of the way, every move like this, keeps adding to the overall breadth of Hive.

It is all part of the process of what people are doing to "buidl". We all have a part to play in this.

ALthough 'setting up a witness' feels like something very huge (and I was very excited for this post the last few days), in the overall scheme of things it's only 'another step' (with a lot of importance! but another step after all).

Even without the technical skill, being part of an open-source community can leverage every one of us as individuals. That's the true power of 'the swarm'.

There's no problem out of reach for everyone :)

I'm slowly shifting to a 'buidl mentality';

Will surely be following what ideas you play with.

I refer mainly to the fact that every day I'm looking less at price and looking more at 'how can we leverage this to the next level?'

Thanks for the support!

Waiting for a bear market to make my ´empo's hostile takeover' buying up hundreds of thousands of HIVE & helping leofinance reach that sweet 20th spot in the witness list, where it deserves to be :)

Sorry, I didn't mean to be confusing. I am adding you as a witness and I am letting @cryptocharmers know that he should also consider adding you as a witness also. We are both in a small community called HiveFive on Peakd. We and a few other friends are working on apps and developments for Hive Blockchain.

I have voted for you, I know may be easy for some people. But I had to buy some bee worker tokens and stake it. Then go to tribaldex to vote. You are 57th on the list. I hope I got it right because I went to check it on peakd, it not tell me if I succeed in voting you. Anyways I looked in tribaldex and voted for you, it said it has been approved, so it mush be accepted !

We have the eggplant man, throwing dicks around, telling us his sexual preferences all day (even if he does not seem gay, but who knows), that might say a different thing.

Well, I trust you, so now back to work on that SEED at $100!

Maybe 100$ it's a bit off the charts (well, for now), but def 5-10$ could be happening sooner than expected for many.

However, and that's a big 'if', we need a better foundation before chasing higher gains (and that means improving our base liquidity).

We'll get over there, we just need time... (and if dao pumps some, better).

Thx for your support alex :)

Formidable

Congratulations ontaking this big step, and chanhng your level of involvement with Hive.

Perhaps one day you will be in the top 20!

I voted through Peakd, as I am still working through some growing pains with KeyChain.

But nonetheless, I am officially one of the supporters of your witness.

Bonne Chance!
