Instead of highlighting one single event from this year, I am going to highlight this entire year.

# People

To begin, I would like to mention four very supportive and very generous people.

First, I would like to mention @felixxx, because he helped me to financially get through this winter. And he is also helped/helping me by communicating with me. This also feels good. By the way, he recently started to be active again as a witness: [@felixxx witness proposal](https://hive.blog/witness-category/@felixxx/felixxx-witness-proposal).

I mention @ericvancewalton and @dswigle for similar reasons. Both of them helped me financially, and we also had very good discussions.

@nathanmars is a great inspiration. He is also very kind and supportive. He supported me greatly with discussions and with upvotes.

@jlufer is another huge inspiration for me. Nowadays he lives off of his Hive earnings.

# Milestones

I have three huge milestones in 2021:

* I met very kind, very friendly, very supportive and very generous people. You can see most of them above.
* I reached $500 HBD in savings: [More than $500 HBD in savings, 12% APR interest + Merry Christmas! (2021.12.18)](https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@xplosive/more-than-usd500-hbd-in).
* I reached 1000 Hive Power: [1000 Hive Power (2021.12.21)](https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@xplosive/1000-hive-power-2021-12).

Most of you know that I live with multiple disabilities, nowadays under the local minimum wage, and I am trying to get out of the financial discrimination. And I am on a good way to reach this goal, thank you to the Hive blockchain community.

So thank you so much to everyone for all the help and support I received/receive from you.

I wish a Merry Christmas to everyone.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
