@snook's [post](https://peakd.com/hive/@snook/making-my-first-100-downvote) with ten questions on how you got started on the blockchain.

---

A lot of people have already join in, so I thought why not. Could be fun :D

<center><h1>How long have to been on the blockchain</h1></center>

44 moons or since 14/08-2018 (2018-08-14) according to 		[hiveblocks](https://hiveblocks.com/@cwow2)

<center><h1>What was your background in cryptocurrency when you first came to the Blockchain?</h1></center>


None. I had never touch anything related to Crypto before joining here. I was just interested in making money and find something about the Hive blockchain on page 5-10 of Google back in the day. 
I didn't even own Bitcoin at the time!

Back in the day I was looking for way of earning more money so I could invest more or do DCA into stock and get my freedom that way. I don't think I have been looking for making money option for a while ever since I found Hive which is quite amazing :D

I did also realize early on when the price was 0.2$ that I might not being able to live on this, but in years time, this would have a major compound interest! 
And look at us now with the price stabilizing around 1.5$, its starting to look like a possibility.

<center><h1>What was your background in writing when you first came to the Blockchain?</h1></center>

Not really something I enjoyed. I have never been known to write "proper" essay or anything else. So I always got shitty grades for not doing the right formular x)

I am creative as fuck and can come up with weird story about anything at any given time of the day. But shit like that doesn't fly in school if you don't know how to take the reader on the journey.

Also. I was just looking for passive income when I came here the first time xD

<center><h1>How many people did you know when you first came to the Blockchain?</h1></center>

Zero. Nada. Nul. Ingen. 
I just join to see what it was like!
And I have met some amazing people here. (I thought about tagging some, but I don't want others to feel left out if I forgot one (So the ones I talk to often here, is the amazing people)) :D

To this day. I am the only person I know IRL who is on here, even though I talk to my friends about Hive and the recent price spikes xD

<center><h1>How did you meet people when you first came to the Blockchain?</h1></center>

I honestly don't know. I didn't really engage much, since I looked at this as a passive income when I first started. I did do comments and such, but nothing special. I don't think I really felt 100% intergrated into the community before we had the Fork from ~~Steemit~~ at that moment I was reaching out to a lot of different people on very different posts telling which witnesses was ours and which witnesses was ~~Justin Suns~~ after fighting for that. I really felt I belonged here and I started joining a lot of discord servers and later made a community 	[blogging challenge](https://peakd.com/c/hive-163921/created) with @starstrings01 

<center><h1>Who did you look up to when you first came to the Blockchain?</h1></center>

A lot of people. I was interested in learning how they have gotten a bigger stake and how I could do that more efficiently :D

<center><h1>How would you describe your first three months on the Blockchain?</h1></center>

Clumsy as fuck. I was just writing random weird shit and didn't really know how to make a "blog" post, since I had never done it before.

What I know is that, when I figured out that I needed more exposer I did comment a lot but not a lot of comments where "good" it was the standard "good picture" or some shit like that.
I think I could get away with it back in the day compared to now, it takes way more effort now to get noticed.

But hey. It worked :p

Even today, I sometimes just have an idea which I want to write about, but its not going to be very lengthy and thats just sometimes the nature of my writing style.

<center><h1>Has being a part of the Blockchain changed you in any way for the good?</h1></center>

It have made me feel less wasteful when I spent my time on Hive compared to other social medias :p

So I have currently made a good amount of money. Now everything is still  in the Hive ecosystem and I have only ever taken out 100 HBD for meme coins on Binance :P

Everything is still here in one way or another and I will continue to have it here for a long time.

<center><h1>What is your favorite memory from your time on the Blockchain?</h1></center>

I don't think I can pinpoint a specific memory from here. Everything just seems like a pretty amazing blur :p

I think there is a good potion of memories here, its just hard to choose from.

<center><h1>If you could advise a new person signing up to Hive, what would it be?</h1></center>

Show up on a daily basis. Post regularly and engage with people, even join discord servers to engage with people!
People makes this place fun to be and read amazing posts or looking at art.
Join different communities with your interest or make your own :D
