The Best Investment In Crypto According To Jongo

Wait a minute....
This guy is about to give us advice on investing in crypto?
Isn't this the same dude that pretty much lost all his $BTC and never seems to win at anything in this space?
Yup, same guy!
And get ready for a shocker......
This investment will require absolutely nothing out of pocket. However it will require an investment that is pretty much the most valuable asset you have. Are you intrigued yet?
Keep reading.....
So like I mentioned in a blog post a few days ago, I recently celebrated 8 years on the blockchain. You have to understand the state of Jongo and what my life was like back in 2017. Here's a dude that made a killing from his online businesses, worked from the comfort of his home for over 2 decades and then lost....Everything on one April morning of that same year.
I came to this blockchain with absolutely zero to invest.....
Money that is.
But what I did have was time. And plenty of it because this blockchain aligned with my dreams and plans for the rebuilding of my online business. So I invested the only asset I owned...And that was time.
If you look at the short term gains for being active and investing your time here, you will give up REALLY quick. Let's be honest, the whales on the blockchain are searching for your content. And while you will find the odd generous member that gives you an upvote or two of sizeable weight, you really need patience here.
But if you pull back and look at the big picture, you can see where this can lead to. I came in here with nothing but time and built my $HIVE power up to over 150k in about 6 years. Maybe less, but most definitely not longer than 6 years. And while that may not seem like a ton, here's what I have generated by investing time and energy here:

And yeah, when I did get some extra fiat I bought tokens. And when we split from Steem, I used all that Steem to buy Hive. But still, almost half of what I eventually earned here was through nothing but...Time invested and effort given.
And sure, this isn't going to set the world on fire because who knows where the price of this stuff will ever go but there are some very unique opportunities here once you get active and start investing...Time.
You can look at things like $HBD or SURGE as a way to generate income from your earning here. You can power up Hive and start curating, which at last look earned around 10-14% APR. And that's just the tip of the ice berg. Once you get in here and get active, the potential can really explode.
But it starts with an investment of your time. And along that, comes patience. Lots of it. And if you are just starting out too, eat some humble pie. Meaning, be a sponge and don't think you know it all. Learn from the people that have been here before and paved the road. But most importantly, enjoy the experience.
The best thing about all the communities, tribes and projects on this chain is 100% the people you meet. There is just simply nothing else like it on any #web3 platform out there. Spend your TIME getting to know these people. Add value to their journey and to the entire comunity you are around and beautiful things will happen.
One more piece of advice....The drama isn't worth it. Keep your head down, ignore the noise and just add value. Do that over TIME and I think you will be able to look back and agree....The greatest investment you can make in crypto, is investing your time here in #web3

Your journey shows that hard work and commitment can lead to amazing outcomes, even if you begin with nothing.
Less than nothing. But if I can make a good chunk of HP here, anyone can
Well said
I picked three things here @jongolson,They are;TIME (lots of it), PATIENCE,and WEB3.
What you said about WEB3,made me to have flashback to the 21 rules of Hive as inspired by Michael Taylor's;rule number 10 says; "Your ticket to Web3 freedom is powered by Hive" and rule 12 says;
"All your assumptions about Web2 would be shattered once you embrace Hive"
Well over 100K in 6 years isn't bad at all.
I do build up my HP to 11K in roughly 8 years.
It's just how things are. The consistency pays off over time, and Hive is great due to that community.
i have been on Hive for 5 years now and have invested my time consistently. I am happy with the progress i have made.
I 100% agree, ignore the noise and drama. Keep your head down and adapt to the changes whenever necessary.

Plenty of wise advise there that every Hive newbie should take heed.
Patience is a tree that bears sweet fruit.
Unfortunately I sold all my Hive and Steem to buy Bitcoin and Tron. Now I only get downvotes on Hive. But I still like blogging. So now I blog for Free ! It’s still a lot of fun. I was able to retire thanks to Steemit and Hive.
