March 20th, 2020

It's hard to believe that it's been a year...

The birth of Hive and the separation from years of frustration and mismanagement from the previous regime...

And that's how I'll always celebrate March 20th moving forward!

You see, the history books have been written and for me personally, I am much more excited about the future of this blockchain rather than feed on the negativity of our old home.

Not trying to take anything away from the amazing stand we all took, and especially not trying to lessen the sacrifices some our of community had to deal with (and are still dealing with...)

But the future is looking brighter than ever! It was not in vain!

The 'official' Twitter account for the Hive blockchain tweeted this out last night:

What does the 1st year anniversary of Hive mean to me....?

Community

You see, I've been building online communities and businesses for 2 decades now.

And in that journey, I've seen all the newest trends come and go. New technology pop up. Sure fire hits, turn into misses. And people that swore they had the next best thing, disappear after a month...

Here's what I've learned...Community is king!

Not only is it king, but it's the most important thing you can build and be a part of when it comes to anyone online!

And it's not easy...

It's become a buzzword these days, and you can hear it being spewed around when someone is trying to sell you something...

"We value our community!"

"We're big on community!"

Community though....Cannot be bought...Case in point, March 20th 2020.

Community must be built from the ground up by real people, who share a passion.

This is what Hive means to me!

We've gone through bear markets, hostile take overs, flag wars, and more drama than we're care to recall...Yet the community, has always remained!

And now, a year later...We're seeing the larger Hive community, grow into niche communities and powerful projects.

Take a look around and you'll see...Excitement like never before....

From @LeoFinance to @ThreeSpeak .... @Splinterlands to @dcitygame ... @Dbuzz to @dapplr These projects (and so many more) show us, how the PEOPLE of these communities are fired up and excited for the future as well!

And of course, I can't forget my little tribe that could @clicktrackprofit :)

Passionate people, all working towards something much bigger than themselves.

So here we are....

1 year of the Hive blockchain!

And to me, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. This is such a special place and believe me, as someone who has focused the majority of his life around building communities, we are on the right blockchain at the right time in history.

Here's to another amazing 12 months and so much more :)

Well said dear friend @jongolson the community is everything, I always compare it as a great family, there may be mistakes, successes, agreement or disagreement, but the family is for the members of the family, and if we go out we do it all together.
Happy new year dear friend. yours is admirable

Community is one of the most powerful things but with that it needs to be an open welcoming community. Far too often I see communities that are built that don't really help newbies or get along with the clique and end up killing growth. Always something to look out for and be mindful of. Keep on keeping on!

That's a really good point. I think the 'previous' chain was a lot more toxic than Hive. But you are right, we have to be mindful to always be welcoming to new people!

i think these past couple of months of 2021 maybe add December of 2020 as well, were awesome for the Hive ecosystem in general. If this keeps up like this then in another year i think we are all gonna be very excited about our journey!

I think so also though I was a little late to the party. There are so many new developments in store over the next 12 months such as Project Blank (still waiting for an update on it), 3Speak's decentralized storage, more Cub Finance stuff and many more. I predict that we will be in for another year of making more money.

It's been a year already! A year since I joined the Hive blockchain and today I have quite the portfolio. And thanks to @jongolson CTP community, I have had an awesome year exploring crypto currency and owning something I thought it never would have been possible. I remember when BTC come on the seen and I watched it as it slowly went up in value. At that time it was difficult for the small individual to get into owning it and I missed out, Thanks to #HIVE I no longer have to just sit back and watch. I'm in #LUV.

Well, I didn't join this parade until around June of 2020, so I wasn't here for the show that got us to where we are today. I just am happy for the progress I have made to this point and am looking at where this is going in the future. My focus is looking upward and onward.

The community is the real deal. Hive happened because of the great community we're having. Not just a brighter future will happen but it could be beautiful. I'm excited to see what will happen for another year to come since hive became amazing in just a year.

Year one was just proving that this blockchain could survive without Steem Inc. Year two is when the fun begins!

I would say it's been a blast, but not entirely, we've had quite the down trend over the last year too, easy to forget that when things are looking a lot rosier now!

But overall, we've ended up in a positive place one year on so happy anniversary to us all (it also makes for any easy post today!)

Community is more than everything. It is what makes this cryptoworld so powerful! The crypto projects with the strongest community will have the biggest impact in this rapid changing world and the capability to thrive for a very long time.

This has been quite an adventure in the last year. I learned about why I should have waited until after the HF to change my keys and all kinds of other fun stuff. Looking forward to what is yet to come
