RE: A very productive month for me !

It is always encouraging, @achim03, when we can look back and find some encouragement in progress being made. As you are honest and forthright enough to say, that does not appear to have always been the case. Experience in life would seem to suggest that is pretty much the way it goes - if we are not moving forward, we are sliding backward.

Isn't that true for all of us?

"However, I have recently had the feeling that I was a bit caught in the hive bubble and didn't really know what was happening outside of it. So I let my curiosity free reign and I started to learn and experiment."

I think this is prudent. I do not know for sure what the "hive bubble" is, but I have a pretty good idea. As I learn more about it, I know it is something I wish to avoid. I say that coming from the opposite direction you are indicating.

"I have to say here that I used my HBD interests for my experimentation on the other blockchains and that is probably the reason why I'm so far behind. I earn about 180 HBD interest per month."

Sounds like a savvy investing base, for your explorations, to me. An old saying is, "it takes money to make money." Maintaining adequate reserves of liquidity is a big deal. Without them, forget about "opportunity costs" and timing. They will just pass you by, as you have no means to do anything about them!

It's something like being sure that hive has all the answers and there is no need to see what happens outside of it :-). What I realized is that things evolve very fast outside of our ecosystem and it would be a pity not to learn about it :-)

I think that we need to make sure that our money does some of the job and we don't only rely on our work and monthly income. In this way, it's also a safe bet to diversify things a bit even on a crypto level. Getting some funds into other projects doesn't seem the worst idea to me ;-)
