Investing is the real engine of the financial world. Everything runs and turns around this risk factor
where you can turn one to ten. When you are really good at it, you can make a fortune really quick. When
you do not plan, chaos is waiting for you at the door. As we all know, always invest what you can afford to
lose is more like a warning to invest only the amount you can forget.

Some risks are more subtle than others. Never risk your rent funds where you are 50% sure you will get it back.
Let me go further by saying even when you are 99% sure, do not play game with that 1% cause it can be fatal.
Please the best rule of investing resides on the best planning you have to take. No need to rush and think you can
beat the clock. Looking at #Hive ecosystem in 2021, the field is loaded with ways to invest your funds. I will be quick
to say invest in Hive is all about patience and wait for your turn.

HIVE
--

There are a multitude ways you can invest in Hive. The first one you can become a witness. This is long term and pretty
much saturated for a newcomer. Hey the door is wide open. If you are bringing something that can innovate, you will make
your way to top 20 in no time. The reward matches your hard work.
 It is a good investment since you will be the one maintaining the system in the background.
Anyone who inspire to be a witness, I should praise you. 

You can be a vlogger. Few people take that route to post a video. I am not up to par but this is a way you can interact with
the blockchain. #3speak is a good place to post your video and it is decentralized in a way. You can use other platforms as well
but it is recommended to use in house. Right now vlogging should not be compare as an investment like on YouTube.
You can be a blogger. This could be the hardest one cause everybody in Hive does write. Luckily if you can write informative posts
feel free to drop two or three a day. Whenever I dropped three a day, it is a lot of work.
It is hard at first if you are new. As time goes by and you take your place, things will change. 
You get what you put in. Invest in friends and stay engaged.

Since everyone is writing we are sharing from the pool a finite amount of Hive that get distributed by the amount of vote you receive.
Now if you receive votes from whales be ready to see yourself receiving a nice curation.
You can be a curator. This should be what we all thrive for from the beginning. While I bring the curation part, it should walk hand to hand
with commenting. I am telling you it is not easy to read as much posts as possible and write comments. Golden rule whatever you want people
to do for you, be prompt to do it for them.

TRIBES-COMMUNITY
--

This is another gem you can find with Hive. Apart from posting straight to Hive alone, you can use via #tags to have your posts echoed
to the tribes. BE CAREFUL! Do not just randomly tag your posts for any tribes to get voted in their community. Find your niche cause you
are investing your time and effort, be ready to understand the real value of positive criticism. If you feel like things are not working for you
revisit your motives and go back to work. Invest in yourself is the best way you can do for the best capital You ever have.
Some tribes are not worthy for you to cross-posts. It is better to dedicate a post for specific tribes. Don't try to cut corners.
No need for me to drop everything for you in this post. Visit https://Hive-engine.com to get accustomed with all the tribes.

If there is one thing we all should do in this blockchain, read each other and comment. Engagement is so far the best investment you can do
to move forward and put your time for this community. I am hoping there is more improvement in the technology to welcome and continue to make
everyone feel at home. Maybe blank project will come to the rescue.
#Leofinance strikes a vibe with me a while back. It is not easy to start talking about finance all of a sudden. Luckily we all use money
to move around. By now we can put our experiences together and grow to be wise financiers. Are you holding #Leo?

I was so happy to see in the past couple months ago youtubers are coming to our circle. Hard work pays off. Investment has a lot more to do with what you do behind the scene. Thinking about that behind the scene, #leofinance helps a lot of lions to see the power of the community through DEFI.
I hope I am not the only one. Thanks to this community I discover decentralized finance here. 
I heard about it before but never tried it cause
of lack of understanding and you know "rug pull".
 So much neurons got connected with DEFI, I am still open to see what else they will bring.

HOW MUCH
--

This one is kind of purpose mix with goals. Wherever you are in the world, you need money for essentials. Some place you need more than others.
Personally I plan to keep crypto in crypto unless I have to take care of emergency. For now the way I approach crypto is so long term, it is beautiful to look past 2030. Crypto could become something that can change lives. Only the investors will see the right light at the end of the tunnel. 5% or 10% of your earning could be what you can bring to crypto.

It is very important to understand all blockchains out there. They are not created equals. Find a blockchain with the notion of earning passive income. Hive is delegated proof of stake. I was thinking about Helium. It is proof of coverage which a type of proof of work like BTC. Stay up to date and right here in Hive you may find a lot of great info.

If you are already earning enough in crypto, park it long term. Hive is one of the steady destination you can think of. Even if Hive remains around the same price it is today, in two years which highly will grow, you are betting on you to amass a great value and community that will grow with you.
You do your book and put the right measure and save accordingly. The best investment in Hive is the investment in people. This one will never diminish. Actually it is growing and with the right engagement we are leading each other to the abundance of crypto.
