Firstly, welcome to Hive :)

>That is why I still relentlessly push through even if I am not quite seeing the results I expected or wish for, but I see and believe in the future application.

It really does take time to get things going, but for those who do, it can be quite rewarding. There are a lot of things building here now and more to come, so it becomes a space of many layers that can be enjoyed and earned with. 

>in down turns when I was a beginning investor many years ago (moreso stocks) I would lose a lot of sleep and it would negatively effect me. 

I am not a stock investor - but the first major drop in crypto I experienced left a pit in my stomach for days. I barely blink now - though the amounts affected are 500x as much! :D

>I.e. on gain days I sell part of the ones that had the biggest gains to redistribute it into the ones that didn't have as high of a % gain and do the inverse of that on major bear days/weeks.

Thanks for the reminder - I need to get back to doing this more often!!

Heh you may not recall me but I already vaguely remember you welcoming me before, but thanks again haha.

Yeah instead of thinking in terms of "earning" for me it is an "investment."  When I hear the word earn I think of it as wage to a degree and if that was the case I'd probably have already quit this platform as my personal life I'm able to profit from trades, poker, and various other activities.

I think wilmetacaf said something best that resonated with me is that on this platform I am trying to compound trust/relationships because social capital is a very real thing that many people take for granted.  Their voice within the communities they take part of.

Yeah I'm sure there are more "profitable" approaches I can take and relationships to build, but for me I like the idea of letting nature take it's course and naturally stumbling upon content that enriches my soul/mind.

I was wondering if I had, but wanted to make sure :)

Trust and building real relationships are very important here and I think that they are two things I have managed to build through content and behavior that work in my favor. Some people talk about it, but don't actually follow through with the activity to support them.

It isn't just about profits though, there are a lot of different communities to explore, as well as applications to use. I think being on Hive is becoming like a fractal of the Internet itself, a diverse and growing ecosystem to explore.

It is fun now and I suspect will get better as it matures.

OMG YES for me I pay attention to the little things like the interactions between the poster most people if I noticed they aren't very engaging I won't bother.  Also no need for upvotes I am just intrigued by these type of discussions and theory talks so to speak.  Many people that didn't bother making time for me now I may not have as much time later for as I scale things in ;).

In life there will always be people who talk a big game, but I think time is the great thing that allows all of us to understand each other better.  I'm sure success can be paved by building the right relationships, but for me developing and growing myself as an individual is my main priority.

I can also notice my writing and reading skills greatly improving and that is the biggest roi win I can get personally speaking.  Well truth be told I'm only allowing it to consume this much of my time because I can see the bright future for it even if things were only worth 1/10th of what they were now.  It was through Splinterlands that I even discovered hive.  At first I was just like oh this is just a blog site that pays out crypto no thanks, but after being involved and learning and joining all these communities I realized this platform was so much more.

Hive is truly a great name for a platform such as this as the symbolism is perfect.  Through cohesion and the buildout of platforms and all the layer 2 applications, games, and methods i.e. 3speak, dtube, and more this is truly quite groundbreaking.

Unfortunately many things don't really bring me pleasure anymore, but there are times I go down deep dives due to curiosity and this sense of feeling productive to learn and write, but overall this journey has been an interesting one and I like it.
