The real status symbol here was/is anything made by Apple. Their products tend to lead the industry (giving them something to copy from), but also tend to hold their value over time.

This was the same in Nigeria, but it wasn't until 2016, at least, from what I know that iPhones and apple products became a thing... A sort of status marker. Back then tech was expensive in Nigeria, I thought if feels someone to be the techy guy back then, like there was this sort of importance hahaha. How did you feel?

Maybe I was a little too important in the eyes of some. :) Word began to spread, and I was not only fixing family computer issues, but also picking out new systems for people at work as well!

But the good feeling you get when you help an elderly person send their first email was magical. That sense of empowering them to demystify "this thing of ours" called the internet is something I'll never forget. (BTW, HIVE is over $0.80 right now).

There's this sense of "greater good" that comes with being techy, feels like you're miles ahead of them in most ramifications. I was the tech type but just to an intermediate level and it really helped me a lot.

I see Hive now, it's up to 90 cents, whew! No one prepared me for these pumps. It's crazy, I didn't know if this was the Koreans but it feels good already
