Hello everyone! This is OCD's special curation compilation post for a Reddit campaign that aimed to promote <b><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/hivenetwork/comments/m8e5qh/countdown_to_1_year_of_hive_if_you_write_a_post/">Hive's subreddit</a></b> and to raise awareness about Hive's first year anniversary.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
It was announced in OCD's Discord (#announcements channel) last March 19, 2021 (a day before Hive's first year anniversary) that we would be curating posts linked to the comment of the Reddit post about the question:
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote><b>What does the Hive one year anniversary mean to you?</b></blockquote>
</div>

<blockquote>I've alllways dreamed about a new PC, I couldn barely run google chrome, everything was lagging, that was a nightmare but what could I do, I couldn't go to the job with depression. Hive helped me fulfill my dream and finally I was able to get the new PC, because of that I can do more things I love, record more videos, and as a gamer provide better content. I'm really grateful, 2020 wasn't a good year because of COVID but for me it was still best year and HIVE was for sure the thing that made this year best.</blockquote>

After the takeover I did take a break, until a friend of mine told me hive has being born and at that second, I knew there is no where I'd rather be. Hive is home me. A beautiful place of beautiful communities all focused on supporting everyone ad well as seeing the blokchain grow. Love lives here. This first anniversary means a new dawn to me. Hive is here to stay, and the believers are the people who would benefit from it.</blockquote>

DUMP STEEM FOR HIVE .</blockquote>

It has been an awesome and transformative year for Hive. That one year signifies how powerful a community can be if it's rallied together to achieve one common goal. Rest assured that OCD will continue to be in front and center in helping the community achieve its goal. To more anniversaries or birthdays or whatever milestone Hive will achieve!
