That's a good call. Anyone who associates Hive blogging platform with your profile, they will definitely be impressed.
For me, there are two facets of my engagement on Hive. I definitely want to earn more tokens so that I can share the part of the overall Hive pie when it grows in its value. I am looking forward to that day. But, that is not my only motivation.
I always wanted to write. I write and research all the time as my full time profession. Future scenarios excite me and I have a personality where unknown is attractive. Hive is something that combines all these aspects into one. It gives me a platform to write. It is a futuristic platform (in a way) where there are early adopters of blockchain powered social media platforms. And, the future is unknown. If you mix all these concepts then that is what I prefer to engage with.
This is the real reason I am active on Hive. That's why what you wrote here resonated with me. I want my own journey on my own terms, which could be very different to others or somewhat similar to many. Nevertheless, it will be unique. Hope my engagement brings positive value to the platform.
