Hi great family. I must begin by recommending the efforts of the management crew in charge of this weekly prompt. They are truly doing well and consistent in engaging us and allowing us to unleash our potential as it adds value to someone out there.

The focus of week 21 is on the issue of web 3. Initially I never knew of anything like web 3 not until I joined this precious platform of hive block chain. My mentors on this platform taught me that web 2 includes the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook,X amongst several others. Infact I never knew that money can be earned from such platforms because I knew it to be where I would just share my insight and perspective about things. Later I got to know that it can be monetized and lots of testimonies keeps emanating from people that benefited from it.

My journey in web 3 wasn't funny but thank God I finally made the choice. I was nursing a wrong intention initially because of the varied platforms I joined in the name of financial independence hmmm unfortunately I was caged by some sets of fraudsters even some resources that i gathered during my wedding were all invested into that scheme but all couldn't avail. My understanding of Web 3 got more enlightened when I venture into hive block chain. My orientation changed completely even though I started on a rough basis but at least now I am gaining new heights and ground. Actually I started with steemit but I wasn't too active until I got hooked with hive. I heard about other web3 but haven't explored them yet.

Many people till today still nurse some fears against anything called crypto probably because of the kind of experience they had before just like me but had to release it and face the reality. One of the things that strengthen me was my wife. There are moments where I don't get votes but yet I had to persist. I tried to interact with other authors as well. I make inputs and ensure that my write up fits to the standard of my community.

The lesson I learned during my web3 journey is to be patient and always be my self. I noticed that the platform is genuine and plagiarism is not allowed. I learned self discipline and appreciate other people's opinion about things.
I have seen where I could make money by being committed to the engagement. I could also trade some of the coins. I like web3 and I hardy miss a day without visiting it.

Thanks for reading through my entry.
