The Blockchain Of Opportunity
Opportunity...
That's a word I love to focus on when it comes to building businesses online.
And I know, when you hear that word, sometimes it's followed by some shady snake oil salesmen trying to separate you from your hard earned cash. The good ol' 'Once In A Lifetime Opportunity' sales pitch...
However I look at that word with excitement. First because of my mindset as an entrepreneur. Every time I'm blessed to wake up in the morning, I'm given another 1440 minutes to crush it. To build something...I'm given opportunity!
But also right here on the blockchain...
We've been given a very unique 'opportunity', actually several opportunities, and I wanted to go over a few of them today...
The crazy thing is, I'm just mentioning a few of the obvious ones...There is SO much to discover here on Hive!
The 'Hive Opportunity'
I tell everyone I meet in my community, start with Hive Power and the world opens up for you! Think how awesome this blockchain is, especially when we power up our tokens. Without doing a thing, just staking them, we're getting almost 3% a year...
Sure it's not the massive returns of some DeFi projects, but that's just the tip of the ice berg. We then are introduced to curation, that seems to hover around 7-10% a year, delegation to different projects and even HBD...Which is rewarding savers 12% a year for simply...Saving their 'stable coin' on the blockchain.
And like I said, that's just scratching the surface...
The LEO Opportunity
Similar to Hive, the beginning of your rabbit hole journey into the LEO community begins with Leo Power! Even more so after the announcement they made earlier today!
Powering up your LEO tokens is a great way to get exposure to this vibrant and growing eco-system. From delegating to @leo.voter to flipping LEO for CUB tokens, one peek into these projects and you might actually start drooling at the...Opportunities!
The Splinterlands Opportunity
Where do I even begin....
When I joined this game, I had no idea that strategy card games even existed. But what I did understand was the collectibility of these assets...
Limited quantities! And that just started my journey into learning about all the 'opportunities' that are popping up daily on this pioneering #play2earn game. From governance tokens, brawl play, renting assets to actually earning from playing the game...Splinterlands continues to lead the way!
The Second Layer Opportunity
There are way too many amazing projects to highlight and obviously, I love it so much that we have created multiple second layer projects on the blockchain. And what's so exciting to me about Hive-Engine is that, the more it grows, the more entrepreneurs it will attract.
The 'killer app' might not even be realized yet on Hive, but I firmly believe it will be born on Hive-Engine!
The best thing about second layer projects is while you may not have it in your cards to become a Hive whale...If you show up and contribute to these communities and tokens on Hive-Engine, you could easily become a person of influence in a short amount of time!
The Content Creator Opportunity
I love @threespeak and it's become my go to platform for uploading and viewing videos online. Crazy right...It's on Hive ;)
I don't need to beg YouTube to become a partner. I don't need 10,000 followers and hours watched to get rewarded for my effort. And that's the biggest opportunity for content creators. 3speak, Vimm, Liketu, Dbuzz, Peakd or the countless other front end projects on the blockchain...If you have a passion, you have a home here for your content!
And the best part is like I mentioned, you can tap into the community that you are attracted to. And when you added value to it, they will support you. A true Web3 experience, right here with opportunities popping up every day for creators!
All We Need...Is A Chance...
I was listening to a podcast earlier this evening and the host mentioned 'being given a chance in business and in life'. All entrepreneurs are looking for...Is that chance. We just need a shot. And if the opportunities are presented, they will show up. They will put in the work and they will succeed!
Hive offers this!
All the projects on the blockchain offer this!
The opportunities are plentiful, the only question is...Now that you have a shot, are you going to take it?

Jump on everyone! Go to Work!
Hive has been good to me. I post regularly and build relationships and it has been awesome.
!PIZZA
LOL Saved by the bell Gifs!!! I'm here for it lol
A chance and a shot I think the most powerful thing of the post and what many people are looking for right now. With all the crazy still going on in the world I feel it's a BIG wake up call that you need to be taking care of yourself. No government or anyone else really has your best interests in mind so you need to take care of yourself before you can start to take care of others.
Hive gives you that financial place to start building assets and assets that grow with you. It also allows you to do it in many ways or a combination of ways.
Work - through commenting, curation and posting your own quality articles.
Automated - put your crypto to work for you either saving HBD for 12% interest (seems like a no brainer to me!) or try dipping your toes into something a little more high risk with bigger potential such as defi.
There's also liquidity pools, games and so much more. The content creation system is in full effect right now and so many people are missing out right now. GET IN!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Preach!
Yeah man, you hit the nail on the head. The government isn't going to save you, more than likely cause you more stress lol We might as well plan our futures right here, right now!
Imagine trying to do all those things at the stock exchange of your choice-- you can't! Even if you could, the barrier to entry is insanely huge.
Even if we want to play with the major players of high finance, Hive offers us a place to hone our skills for the day we make the move to join them. Only when that day arrives, we may decide that Hive is high finance-- and we made Hive that way.

You are so right. There are so many different things that are available in this space it's unreal. Pretty much any hustle you want to find, Hive has it. I keep playing around in different ecosystems just to try things out and see what's out there, but I keep coming back to Hive, literally every day... Can't say the same about the others.
Been seeing some content creators that tried their hands at other 'web 3 platforms' only to come back to Hive. Nothing like good ol' fashioned home cooking!
You nailed it! Hive is a land of opportunities and compared to many others; you do not need to have capital beforehand! You just need to work your way up using your time and skills!
If one did this, it is definitely you and I believe it rewarded you quite well 😎

So true! And the best part is, you don't need to be the 'best' at your craft when you start here...People will support and encourage you to get better everyday. It's so powerful!

This post encapsulates what hive is--a digital space of opportunity. Many like myself have made this space our home. I can begin to state all the ways this space has changed my life and the lives of many like myself and I hope many more join in on this opportunity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A digital space of opportunity. I love that! Yeah man, it truly is!!
The opportunities here in hive is endless. And I am forever grateful to have joined. I may still claim to be a newbie having joined in December 2021 because I didn't rake it serious until February this year. And I will say that in just this few months, I have experienced another world of goodness in hive.
I recently started exploring the world of Leo. I am hopeful to catch up here soon too.
You will be so thankful you joined when you did in a few years from now :)
It really is endless...The opportunities here!
So much here, if people really dug in? They might rethink their career paths.
LOL Man, if I knew what I know now...A few years ago...It would have made the jump from the second I saw this stuff!
Being relatively new to Hive, I love the fact that there are a good number of opportunities to earn throughout the Hive system. I would say that my favourite thus far is #D-Lease as it pays daily without gambling your HP.
Hive needs a new option other than Dlease. Pretty sure the owner of that isn't around that much anymore. I know Leo Finance has LEOfi, which is similar and a very active ownership / community.
I am not familiar with LEOfi. I will have to check it out, thanks.

I think it's just LEO, but pretty sure the plan was to lease out all Hive second layer tokens and even Hive. I think lol
Didn't City of Neoxian propose to have a bank or a DeFi/loan facility? That's what I thought I read a few months ago.

25 days ago, I stumbled upon this very small market cap layer two token, CENT. Prior to my entry to Hive, I have been informally studying economics since 2009. I got thrilled to know that part of the original intent of the Cent platform was to showcase articles related to economics, but later it was changed into a general one. When I did some computation, I realized that this token is giving a higher yield compared to other layer two tokens. Perhaps because it isn't saturated yet and the platform is still young.
That's a pretty cool little niche to cater to. I know Taskmaster would love it lol
😂😄
When using token tags, I make sure to include CENT. Even if I'm limited to 3 token tags, CENT is one of them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In the recent update, it was reported that 100,000 tokens have been burned to protect the price of CENT from the current downturn.
I am finally slowly expanding to look into other avenues than just Hive with LN of course, and I am slowly trying to look into Leo and its subsequent stuff. I am not going to use time as an excuse, I just don't think I am interested in anything Splinterlands or such related lol! Here's a meme for your great post, however.
That's the best part about this place...You don't have to be a fan of everything, just pick what you love and guaranteed, there is a tribe or token for it :)
!hivebits
Without a doubt, the entire crypto market and Hive in particular are full of opportunities, but knowledge is needed to choose the good opportunities and discard the bad ones. That's why I'm here following your articles.
Appreciated!
Hey, noticed something when you are promoting posts in ListNerds. I use Ecency all the time, but rarely do I when I'm using ListNerds. You should try sending a PeakD, CTPtalk or LeoFinance link so that can upvote your stuff more ;)
Okay! I will change it the next promotion.
Thanks!
There are just too many opportunities but I guess my favorite would be the games such as Splinterlands and Rising Star. There are cards with limited circulation and also ways to earn using your assets. So it gamifies the entire gaming and earning experience.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agreed! That's why I'm still so bullish on Splinterlands. As a collector first, knowing there are such a limited supply of some of these cards...Just makes me smile lol
Another fantastic post. I loved the last part, after I read it a second time. I as about to mouth off about Success is your own personal responsibility. That it is. But I re-read the 'chance' thing and I agree. The chance in this case is that Hive is here, and as you say you have to put in the work to succeed.
!BBH
!ALIVE
p.s. came here from ListNerds
@jongolson! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @bradleyarrow. (1/30)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
You will most definitely be rewarded here for effort! It might not be upvotes, but it'll come in the form of building relationships with others. Learning new stuff. Discovering new niches and communities. So rewarding!!
Because this is such an awesome post, here is a BBH Tip for you.
. Keep up the fantastic work
To be honest with you, before I entered Splinterlands, I was going to quit HIVE. I had a hard time trying to figure out things and I was confused about everything. I even was trying the old ways of steemit, and it wasn't going good, at all. For some reason, after I joined Splinterlands everything was like a paradigm shift. I suddenly understood the opportunities in front of me. They were there all the time, in front of my nose!!! I slowly began understanding the tokens, being more active with communities and my HIVE account began to grow organically. It was as if the sky were opening in front of me. Tokens, games, services, you name it! It's like HIVE became the thriving building blocks of bigger things and dreams! Heck, that's how I met ListNerds! I'm pretty excited about the possibilities and the future now!
Awesome to hear it! Yeah that's one of the things that made me stick to this blockchain for so many years...The tribes, the tokens, the second layers that are being built here. So powerful!
Great point. There are many great opportunities on the hive blockchain such as the compounding returns, but my favourite has got to be the communities. To touch base with other like-minded people and learn from others. For example, People like Eco-Alex show that there are other ways to do things and live and thrive! Go Hive, go Hivers!
Agreed! @eco-alex has been such a huge asset to the ListNerds community as well. That's the best thing about this blockchain...You just start meeting people that share the same passions that you might have never had the chance to in the traditional social media space.
This is great. It's actually more than a Blockchain. It's more like a ecosystem, everything is available for you to utilize. You earn token and swap it for other coins. You dont even need money to start. Although I invested a little, I found out you don't need to, but it assists you to gained more quicker !
100000% agree! I think it's the perfect human experience. And everything you need to thrive is right here!
They are very opportunities on Hive to create or develop something.
We only need to search for it and focus to done it.
If all the ideas/opportunities will be profitable? Many not, but we are making something to help others users.
For example:
Me, @doze and @ptmaker are developing something like Coingecko/Coinmarketcap focused on Hive Engine tokens called @hiveland.dapp.
If people use the platform, it is already very good because we have spent time that resolved a problem in our community.
I can't wait to dive into that and see what you guys are building. Let me know what you need from our tribe and tokens!
I have already sent you a message on discord.
I will be available to explain to you everything about our platform
Even if Blain doesn't like this word, I do, and Hive is filled with opportunities. And you don't even have to look too hard, they're all around. The issues we might run into most often is not being focused enough and and as a result not having time for everything we want to do.
That's what Task says all the time too...Time and resources are limited so we need to pick and choose what to focus on here...But wow, opportunities are everywhere!
Indeed, Hive is a blockchain where opportunities abound and there's the capacity to contain as much as anyone would want to spread. Information is just the only impeding factor to people maximizing Hive to their best advantage.

And the crazy thing is...We're still flying under the radar! 5 years from now...We'll be set up nice!
You give a great overview of all opportunities on this blockchain.
You asked for my favorites. Well, I think the HBD savings is hard to beat. 12% is better than any bank, and it might go up even more in the future. Add to that some of the ideas floating around LeoFinance of starting an offering that would give up to 20 or 30% for locking your HBD for a year (the exactly banking word for this idea escapes me at the moment).
For second favorites, it's hard to argue against everything Khal is working on in LeoFinance. That place is booming!
!PIZZA
It's crazy to think...A stablecoin at 12% a year, with little to no risk. I love it! And you are right, Leo is like...On another level of awesome right now!
On 2022-April-7, HBD was earning 12% in Savings.
Today it is 2022-May-17, and the APR for HBD in Savings is now at 20%.
How times have changed!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The Hive has so many opportunities it is not funny. Where else can you blog, comment, videos, play games, and much more and earn? No where that I know of.
It's crazy when you really re-read what you said a few times lol I do think we're living in a fantasy world sometimes because of how awesome it is here lol
I think an opportunity that most overlook is the CTPSB project which supports the CTP community with curation on active members posts. Take care.
Lots of things on CTP fly under the radar lol We aren't the most popular or talked about tribe on hive. But we're building things up, one block at a time :)
CTP is a major tribe, indeed, even if it doesn't have the numbers of a LeoFinance. BUIDLing things such as ListNerds is a major building block for Hive, and it has already had a major impact. It has proven to add value to HIVE and to HBD.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Honestly, it's hard to pick one opportunity as so many options are here nowadays. I used to feel that Splinterlands was the one, as with my old account, I had a sweet deck. Real-life needed the funds so I sold it all before the boom (ouch!)
I think the best opportunities present themselves from the connections made on Hive. I mean, one after the other appears and I love it. I love Hive and I love the fact that my income is mostly coming from Hive-based projects!
That's such a tough subject...The exit. Because life does happen, and when is the right time to 'cash out' some profits. It's something I think about all the time, because I want to be here for the long haul but being able to pay for life, off our effort here, is always my dream!
haha I see you were inspired by the exit topic. At the time I wasn't really doing that to exit the system but to make sure we got to the end of the month. I was needed and you know what if you earn decently with all these efforts, why not take some if you have to choice to do so? I don't feel bad for having to. And I also don't feel bad for taking profits now :) I worked for it, didn't I?
I think your dream is going to be reality :) Listnerds is defo helping A LOT to make that dream a reality <3
I wanted to start commenting about the opportunity we're presented with by simply investing in HIVE and powering it up... but the post just kept going!
So.
Much.
Opportunity!
Anyway, I'll just comment on the opportunity presented by buying HIVE and powering it up:
Remember, passive investors can add that extra 10% via curation rewards on autopilot.
I'd love to see services like hive.vote promoted as a way to passively generate yield on your HP investment.
Marketers, do your thing.
I mean just by following quality manual curators, they can add another passive 10% to their return.
This is certainly nothing to be scoffed at!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I know people stick their tongues out on automatic curation, but I think it's a healthy part of the ecosystem.
That being said, I try to do as much manual curation as I can, but have used Hive Vote for years as well!!
hehe, 1 of the 88 baby!
