If there's one thing I've learnt about the world of cryptocurrencies,  it is that building is perhaps the most profitable way to the financial freedom most people seek from the crypto space. Building especially in times like the bear market as shown countless times to be one of the clearest routes to financial freedom and I'm talking building projects with great utility and significance, building your portfolio when prices are down and keep crashing, and building with communities with a vision to help them grow.

As a builder, you necessary don't have to start building a project from the scratch, as building can still happen even with an already established project. For example, on Hive , you necessary don't have to be a developer to build something on Hive, but that would be an extra advantage though. You can be a builder by creating great content, building your reputation and HP, being an active member of communities you love  and participating in activities that helps in the growth of the blockchain.

Building however is a slow process, just like you're building a house. It does takes alot of patience, so much hardwork, dedication and consistency to build regardless of what you're building.  It might not even make sense to us sometimes especially if we saw other people getting involved with stuffs that got them rich quick. But the idea of building is to work on a vision which could be either personal or shared with other people in a community and make that vision a reality. 

It's tough but many years down the line you'd be glad you made  the decision to be a builder. It also takes time but it's benefits which are mostly long term benefits are numerous.
