There's an account I follow on Hive, they post a lot about finance, money and crypto. I enjoy the content they do because it's motivational, educational and uplifting.
Most of the discussion I have with people are mostly about money, and I like learning about money or opportunities that are related to money.
Recently I discovered their content style has changed to something they wouldn't originally talk about and I began to guess; perhaps a next of kin now uses the account, they handed the account to an assistant or maybe they just began another chapter in their life and wanted someone to continue using the account.
New market/different opportunities
In the past few weeks, I've seen a lot of contents about people finding new commitments, new hobbies, life and other things.
Generally I feel that this is somehow related to the crypto market at the moment. Back in early 2021 and 2025, I noticed a pattern and that was the sudden interest in crypto.
People suddenly want to save in crypto, do everything with crypto and make outrageous money.
They no longer wanted to walk walk their dog, or get the 1% guaranteed APY for saving in their local bank accounts, some even left their former moneymaking opportunities because of that big pump in 2021 and early 2025, but again, it's abandoned, and suddenly people realized oh "seems crypto is dead"
Different Audience
I've realised a few things from these: crypto is a not sustainable hobby if you get discouraged easily. The crypto space is heavily diluted, no longer as self-preserving, decentralized and enriching as it was. The market is spreading too thin and lastly you need to build without the barrier of cycles to actually make profit.
In the next few months more people are going to leave crypto, it's not a Hive thing. It's more of an altcoin thing, as well as the lack of excitement we currently have. Nothing seems look good, the narratives and story isn't as previously rewarding and only the people who are builders and lovers of the tech are available.
I'm I going to ask you to keep staying?
No, I won't.
Everyone has the right to choose between leaving and staying. The fun fact is that you can still chase other big narratives while still coming back later.
I think the best part of crypto will be coming in when the noise is suppressed, buying up and then coming back to cash out when the noise becomes excessively loud due to pumps.
In reality, I think this is also the best time to build if you're coming from zero, but I don't think anyone is actually qualified to advise another person, because people should be allowed to do whatever they want at this point.
I've been sharing my failure and success stories on Hive since 2017, and I think all continue, God willing. People are going to act in the most favourable way that betters their life, just watch, learn, do your own research and do what's best for you.
It hasn't been a good month for me, as I lost the money I earned from my previous Gig. The current market is making people start up different new chapters in their lives.
