The best time to start blogging is right now! Your success in this crypto space is in your hands!
If ever there was a time to START blogging on Hive, or RESTART after an absence, or just increase your activity on the blockchain - It is right now!
The trading value of Hive is currently in a deep winter... a sell-off of possibly... $0.2124 to the USD or R3.78 to the South African Rand, my local currency.
But instead of seeing this as a point of panic, this is a time to test your fortitude and determination if you are an existing blogger. I have seen this situation before on Hive - well technically the old blockchain before the hard fork and I, like many people are doing right now, became inactive.
After a gap of 2 to 3 years I came back to an amazing Hive blockchain with so many Communities and dApps. There were very very of my peers left from the old days, but they were all 3x to 30x my Hive Power and Account value...
Why? They never stopped!
But for the newbie, just as appropriately - The time to start is NOW.
From where we are right now, there is SOME down in the market... but from here it is mostly UP. If you start now, you can go for some 100% power-ups and work your way from 0HP to 50HP rather fast.
From there keep looking forward!
My sons have been mostly inactive on Hive. There is @matthew-williams, age 11 busy drafting his most recent post onto paper while I was busy with the Busy Bees weekly report.
Because I had to take people to a long distance bus terminus, I did not help Matthew post that post that day, but it was prepared and we had taken the picture he wanted for it.
I did the same for @merenludick and his post. He wrote it out and I typed it out and fixed mistakes and put in the pictures that he wanted.
So it is NOW time to start - for anyone, to start Blogging.
But if possible, get an account open for the kids. Occasionally posting which will grow as time goes along. Once thing that kids have more than us is TIME.
So many people have asked the question of where they would have been if they had started 5 years ago... well... let the kids start NOW.
The 14 year old is on 62HP and his one post will boost him by at least 4HP. If he does half that HP per week for the rest of the year with a single post per week, he will have gone from 62HP to 120HP... double.
The 11(almost 12) year old is on 18HP and his most recent post will give him around +0.8HP only... compared to his current stake that is OK... the main idea is that he is moving FORWARD.
The same goes for me.
I was sick for two weeks a little while ago. Long store, but it was likely H1N1 Virus. Nearly died.
After recovering and getting back into it, I have a +34HP growth from Week 23 to Week 24... which is low for me really... but it IS going forward! And that is the most important!
So go ahead! Start blogging again and get more people blogging in your household and friend-circle!
Thank you for reading!

Amazing insight, even though I have been here for less than a year I have understood that apart from being active, the strength of your account is a very important thing to make you successful here.
Sending Love and Ecency Vote!
Te Hive community can grow if we all stick with it brother. I've had moments of doubt too in these couple of months but hearing about your progress and your sons' involvement is really inspiring. Keep pushing forward brother good luck
This recent dip scared a bunch of people... but they need to ask themselves who was buying up all the Hive they were putting on the market to sell?
You're so right bro 😂😂😂😂 !LOLZ somebody was buying it
Aaaand we have reached sideways movement...
Hehehehe sideways movement
Good post ! The other thing to think about is that if the youngsters made posts that got them (say) 10 HP and 10 HBD of rewards and then went inactive again, those rewards would quietly sit compounding until they became active again.
If they can post enough over a couple of weeks to be the top Redfish in BusyBees, then they'd also qualify for SBI's, getting them automatic upvotes when they do get the chance to post 😁
But if they've got access to PeakD on a device of some kind, they can create drafts and templates there which make creating posts soooo much easier !
And if they really don't feel like posting, then doing a bit of curation regularly can help to build up their account (as well as helping others and building the goodwill that gets upvotes when they do get around to posting).
Indeed. They do not have their own devices but I sometimes make sure their VP is used. lol
