Hive Blog was mentioned on Tim Cast today. Ian said, "Shout out to Hive." Here is my testimony. I joined Steemit.com in 2017 when I was in Vietnam teaching English. I was able to make some cryptocurrency money off Steemit via blogging. You are paid money to post. I put some of that into buying a plane ticket for returning to America.

Long story short, something crazy happened to that website or to the company. Like imagine instead of having Elon Musk buy up Twitter you had China do it instead. That is sort of like what happened with Steemit. But like with Bitcoin, some people were able to fork Steemit into a new website or I mean more specifically a new blockchain which is called Hive Blog.

Now, Hive may have some problems but it might be better than Steemit. I still post first to Hive and then to Steemit and then to other websites too. There was a fork of Hive or Steemit that some people like called Blurt. And I post to Blurt too. So, long story short, this is a story of competition, decentralization, cryptocurrency blockchain networks, blogging, making money, failure, success, mining, witnesses, voting, upvoting, downvoting, curation, systems competing against other systems, drama, crazy stuff, people around the world coming together, etc.

I recommend people give these new websites a try. I post to these blogging websites to get around censorship and stuff.
