This is my entry for the hive-naija prompt of the week

What will you do with a million hive?

I honestly do not like wishful thinking. Daydreaming about money I don't have isn't in any way fascinating to me, but for the purpose of this contest, I will indulge a little.

Dreamsh.

Roughly, a million hive is worth around $760,000. That is a lot of money and te frank, I don't know what I would do with $760,000--even half of it. If I should factor in everything I could possibly need right now, my total expenditure would not exceed $50,000.

So chances are I will sell about 100,000 hive (which should plummet the price of hive almost immediately, I think). But let's assume that doesn't happen, which is unlikely, I would use the proceeds from that sale to complete my house and purchase a nice 1964 mustang.

I would also love to take @blezyn on a one-month vacation to Zanzibar and live lavishly during that time period. I envision a couple of boat cruise (would like to see @blezyn shake her butt on a yacht--in a thong!).

I would spend another 11 months travelling the world and documenting my experience on 3speak (maybe I would have to sell another 100,000 hive to hive this). I can finally have time to write a book during the course of my journey around the world.

After that, I think I will retire as a venture capitalist. I would power up the remaining 800,000 hive I may never need again and just support projects and initiatives on the hive blockchain. Life at that point for me would be about helping people and making my community a better place.

Having all I want seems scary. If I had everything I wanted now, I still have about 50 years more to figure out what I want to do with my life. The only way I think I can cope in such a situation is to kill myself.

Hold up! By killing myself I don't mean suicide (I just did that to bait you). What I mean in essence is that I will have to perish most, even not all, my selfish thoughts. I would have to find happiness outside myself. That would be the thing that can stop me from self-destruction.


A thought: having more than enough would probably expose most of our flaws. For instance, imagine not having a reason to be unhappy or not pursuing the things you want? We cannot lie to ourselves about our limitations, especially the ones that are financial in nature.

Every excuse I have made based on financial constraints becomes inexcusable when I have enough. So if I fail I cannot blame it on finance or anyone but myself. That would be a bitter pill to swallow.


Having a million hive is a lot of responsibility and I don't think I am ready for such right now. I would rather work my way up to a million hive (if possible) in the next decade or two. I think I would value the experience more than the stake or token itself.

So here you have it guys, my entry for this week's prompt. I hope I have been able to provide you with some useful insight. If I did find this post to be entertaining or educative do me a solid by reblogging this post. Thank you.

I hate those kind of questions. I'm like you, no point in fantasising over something that would never happen. It just gets depressing when you come back down to reality. I like to plan ahead in life with what I currently have available and I even get the rug pulled out from underneath me with that. 😕

Lol at your girl in a thong fantasies! In Australia they call flip-flops thongs, which I thought was hilarious when we first came here, but now I'm half picturing Blezyn dancing in a single flip-flop. 😆

I feel you. I am dreaming about money I don't have. It hurts 🤧

Hmm...flip-flop. It has a nice ring to it. *Blessing in a flip-flop doing the belly dancing *. I like!

1964 Mustang haahha, nice! Glad you didn't say a beamer or Benz 😄. The Hive VC makes sense. so much passive income to earn here. Travelling the world sounds so tiring to me, I would just go to a few select spots. 1,000,000 HIVE. hmmmm, something to think about.

Lol I like old cars. They are more sexier.

That's like playing on Dan's level. Sweet!

Makes sense. However, I like to be a nomad of some sort. Belonging to everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Might get bored though.

I like the traveling the word idea but I have mad motion sickness so I would sit that one out 😆

After reading this, the excitement about fantasizing about having a million Hive died down. To be frank, you're very right... Having such an amount suddenly would seem too easy and may lead to commuting so many mistakes that could have been avoided.

That money can't even spent so easily, it's just too much to imagine but wait a minute, it's a prompt to go wild... Why not take the ride?

I love your entry sir, the part about selling Hive and powering up is a great one... I love your mindset.

All the best with climbing up yourself😊

Wow.. well thought and articulated.

I envision a couple of boat cruise (would like to see @blezyn shake her butt on a yacht--in a thong!).

It's this part of the video I'm more interested in 😁

Having a million hive is a lot of responsibility and I don't think I am ready for such right now. I would rather work my way up to a million hive (if possible) in the next decade or two. I think I would value the experience more than the stake or token itself.

I think so too.

😂😂 I doubt if I'll comfortably shake my butt in a thong! You're right about fantasizing about money you don't have, it's the same feeling I get when I have to keep record of money I don't own 😂 it hurts man

This was interesting to read. I consider this contest a way of broadening your imagination to make you think and have a perspective of what you would do with a lot of the money you seek. Reading through the posts and I see so many ideas and dreams that it makes you believe that the world would actually change if even one person had access to this sort of wealth.

Thank you for participating in this contest.
