There are many ways people make money to bring on the bacon.

*Hive activities could be one for some*.

As I look into my crystal ball, I see a nation of Hivers, prospering with the growth of Hive many years later. It is hard to explain or convince you of that reality, but thinking about **what us Hiver know, and what the non-Hiver don't**, puts me at ease.

This is especially when I think of *Hive work is a skillset that could be monetized*.

Keeping it simple...

My non-Hive friends: 

- Do not know how Hive works.
- Do not know that writing posts can earn an income.
- Do not know that upvoting activities can earn income.
- Do not know how to behave in a way that builds following.
- Do not know the intricacies of Hive layer 2 opportunities and pitfalls.
- Do not know the nature of Hive communities.
- Do not know the existence of HBD.
- Do not know how to use the Hive wallets.

I could go on. But I stop here.

Collectively, they form a skillset that is related to Hive. Granted, some of us are more adept than others here. But my non-Hive friends? They know nothing.

What is starting to unfold is that we are not talking about an investment of capital here, we are talking about knowledge and skills. 

Having a knowledge of Hive when the majority of people don't is an advantage. 

I would liken it to any valuable skill the world needs, and some day there could be a need to systematically educating the world about Hive, if Hive blows up big! 

Us having some knowledge and skillsets about Hive are actually sitting on something we can monetise.

Looking at things from this angle, we should feel at ease about our daily grind on Hive. As we use Hive, while the rest of the don't, we are learning to one day teach.

I wait for the day I can find a way to monetise my Hive skillset.

**Cryptothesis Hive School**, perhaps.
