I for one was introduced to hive cause I had nothing to do. As a student, it’s not easy to get a job that doesn’t require all or most of your time. In other places, you can work and be in a school. But here in Ghana a lot of people want you to work from 9 to 5 or they won’t hire you. 

A lot of people who work part-time jobs are either dropouts or just completed school and have nothing to do to earn something. I would have loved to work and earn but it seems it will be difficult cause I will need most of my time for school. 

Then hive came along. I could enjoy writing and also earn? That was the first question I asked myself. This is not the first blockchain that I know of that pays to write content so I was not too surprised. But I knew it will be difficult. 

At first, I came into hive just to earn and withdraw but now am concentrating on building my stake. As a student, you always need money so it’s not easy to build your stake considering how large hive is. There is hive power, saving hbd for interest, second layer tokens and games on hive. If you want to get involved in all of this it becomes really difficult to concentrate on one thing. 

I want to build my account but then I have to spend on important things too. I earn from hive. As of now, the school doesn’t pay. I take out from hive at times for emergency cases but now mostly. When things are ok I do put my own money to buy second-layer tokens but it’s not easy. 

You are torn between spending what you earn and investing it in the platform. I had wanted to get to 500hp before the end of last year but something came up. I thought I could get there but then another thing came up a few days ago. 

These days I don’t wanna stake what I claim for the sake of an unforeseen problem. I have a monthly stake goal so I might just have to stick to that now that school is in session once more. But if things change am going all in and I hope I can really get there. I think the difficulty is in reaching 500hp but if can achieve it I can move to 1000 then 1500 in that order. 

For now setting goals and achieving them in small chunks have been a big plus to the journey of building my stake and also investing in second-layer tokens.
