My 6th Hive B-Day!!! .:. Ph's Shorts 🩳
12 days after the "celebration" of 12 years in crypto, it's time for another celebration post, but this time it's connected to HIVE! And with real cake! 😃 On 24th April 2019, I created this account on HIVE (@ph1102)... It wasn't my first account, but I count it as the most important, as I had no idea what I was doing when I created the first one... 😂
Created on Canva.com
I have missed some of my previous Hive B-days, and to not miss this one, I have created an additional reminder for it! So, early in the morning, I got a notification about it, and in the late afternoon, I got a notification from @Hivebuzz about it!
Despite having the whole day, I'm running out of time to do the post before midnight (thanks, migraine! 😤)... The general idea was to write about my journey in HIVE in a lot of detail, and in the end, it will be just another "Ph's Shorts" post...
Before I got hit by migraine, I did a bit of research on myself... lol... My beginnings, checking some of my first posts, first videos, first live shows... So, let's try to share at least a few things... Maybe you will have a nice laugh checking my old posts where I sucked big time! 😂 Btw. that can serve you as a motivation to do YOUR THING, dive into new things, even if you are not sure if it will work, or if you will suck (as I did)... Practice makes us better...
I was a late bloomer as I did my Introduction post a month AFTER I created this account... But, as I had the other one, I already knew some people and that was the reason why I had some "genuine" comments on that post... Btw, my introduction post was lame... Don't follow my example, and do a better job than I did... 😃

Now, let's have some fun... The idea for this "celebration" post was to share posts where I did certain things for the first time... It could be funny (maybe a bit embarrassing too... lol), but also, it could be motivating... So why not?! 😃
My first posts were about our blockchain, how it works, how we should grow our accounts (at least how I thought it should be done), and doing reviews of apps... Tribe tokens were blooming in those days, and I was writing a lot about them, but also accumulating left and right every single token on the L2! As I had a lot of help from the CTP tribe and folks there, I was writing about that too... And to be honest, I wanted to take part in the affiliate mindset, but that wasn't my world... Despite that, I tried to fit in, and probably made my first mistake... Wrote about things that aren't my passion... Don't do that!
One of my (personal) "projects" was "School Of Steem", where I tried to educate people about certain things on the blockchain... The main reason behind doing that was to give myself time to learn those things, along with others!
Around the same time, I had another initiative that I named "Weekly Noob Look at Crypto Market", where I shared some of my views of current crypto happenings... Now that I think about it, I don't know why I stopped doing that, as it could be an interesting series to do... The main topic was tokens on our chain (tribe tokens), so I suppose that the crash of most of them made me stop doing it...
Okay... enough of delaying... let's do the funny part... 😂 I did some research on my FIRST VIDEOS that I made, but I'm still not sure which one was first... lol... So, you will have multiple posts/videos listed here, and you can have a good laugh watching them... 🤣
The post Introduction to 3Speak was my first one on the 3Speak platform, but it wasn't my first video... I think it was recorded after some others... like...
This one... that I found on my YouTube channel, which could be one of the firsts... 😂 I look so awkward and weird in the video... hahahahaha
Also, I had help from @pixiepost to get more into video content, especially when she created the #2020Vision challenge in which I took part and recorded a couple of my first "walk and talk" videos... One of the first posts was this one... In those days, I was creating content almost every day, and I think that I did over 50 posts for that challenge... It was motivating me to do more, to practice, but it was probably a bit too much... lol...
In early 2020, we had the hardfork to HIVE, and that was a very interesting period to witness and to be part of the whole movement... On 21st March, I did my first post on HIVE!
It's like we didn't have enough drama on our chain, we also had the crazy C19 lockdowns! Even in those days, I was doing videos from the stairways in my building... To be honest, creating content on HIVE and having fun with others helped me to survive all the craziness that was happening in the world! It was nice to have friends around, even if they were miles and miles away...
Oh, I forgot to mention that I missed the first SteemFest in Bangkok in 2019 (which was officially the last one), with hopes and a promise that I will attend the next one! But, C19 came, and unfortunately, there was no HiveFest in the "real world," but we had it in the virtual world... Not the same, but luckily, I did attend those! In 2022, I finally went to my first #HiveFest in Amsterdam and got hooked on Hive meetups! 😃
During the crazy C19 times, I took part in "I Am Alive" challenge too, recording videos and creating funny thumbnails... To keep the spirits high... 😃 Unfortunately, I uploaded many videos on DTube, which isn't around anymore, and the videos are lost...
One of the important points on my journey happened in September 2020, when I created my first post/video in the Hump Day Easy Talk series, which were a foundation for multiple things that followed... Because of that, I'm still occasionally doing my Walk and Talk series videos, but also the #HHHLive shows!
Speaking of #HHHLive, if you need more funny stuff, you can also check out the first (recording) of the show here... I have to skip and fast forward as most of you know my recent journey... Maybe I could share that sometimes in some of the next posts, or the next Hive B-Day!
So, long story short (which wasn't that short in the end), it was a very nice journey so far... Without all of you who are still here, and those who unfortunately left the chain, I wouldn't be here today! And I wouldn't be here in a form as I am... Thanks, everyone, for helping me to do better, to give my best, and to leave my comfort zones many times! I hope you will push me forward, as I can promise you that I will do the same for you! We make each other better!
Thank you for your time,

That has been a really long journey!
Whats that STU that's on the introduction payout?
I think it's short for Steem Units, but in a nutshell, it was SBD on the legacy chain, like now HBD...
Ah happy hiveday! I think back to the years on hive but always forget my anniversary dates.
So many posts and memories and connections. Here’s to 6 more years!
Thank you very much! I thought I could summarize my journey under 1K words, but it is impossible to do... So many things have happened here that it can't fit in such a short post... 😃
You should put a reminder like I did... :)
There you go! That's your date :) Soon to be 8 years!!!
Congratulations on your Hiversary!! You have done so well and made so much impact over these years 🎉
Aww.. Thank you very much!! I'm so lucky that I met some great people here on HIVE, not just online, but also offline...
Speaking of which... See you soon! Only a few days more until @Buzzparty! 🍻
Happy Hiveday!
Thank you! See you soon! 🍻
Hey! Muchas felicidades! Yo quiero de ese pastel! Así que llevo las cervezas para compartir, voy con Pawel y Olivia, tu dile a @ninaeatshere jajajaja
Muchas gracias!
jajajaja... Hemos buscado este pastel toda la tarde... 🤣 Hemos visitado 3 pastelerias que tiene merengue, y solo una, la ultima hemos encontrado este... 🤣
Es un poco tarde para compartir, esta acabado! 🤣 Lo haremos proxima vez... 😂
Just found out you’re Zoltan, that’s probably the coolest name I’ve heard in a long time. Happy hive anniversary. The first time I heard you was during pypt and I’ve been seeing how hard you work on your hive projects . Cheers to 6 years of great things and more to come.
Hahahaha... It's just a typical Hungarian name... But it does sound weird to "non-Hungarian" people. 🤣
Thanks a lot! And that was the first time I heard about you, too! Unfortunately, my time doesn't allow me to come to PYPT shows lately, but I join them occasionally...
Ehiii Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary, you remembered many things during these six years, I read your post and I feel that you have done many productive things in hive so far from motivating me it depresses me hehehehehehe if I compare you with me. Hahahahaha. 🥲😭😩😫🤣😂
I find it very strange that you suffer from migraine just like your wife, you are compatible even in that, 🤣😅🤭.
I don't feel it was a short post, it's a beautiful recounting of your adventures through hive. I wish you many more years here full of success and digital health. 😁😆 @ph1102
Thank you!
Btw. you should check your posts from the past and I bet you will find many things that you have done and achieved... Many things that you can be proud of... Don't undervalue yourself! 💪
tbh. I have some doubts that she "infected" me with migraines... 😜
All the best! 🍷
Happy birthHIVE! It's great to hear a little about your entire HIVe journey... Good job ;)
..
Thank you for your kind words and curation! 🙏
Happy 6th Hive B-day, It's heartwarming to see how much this community means to you, and that you've marked this milestone.... Here's to many more years of success and celebrations.
Thank you very much! 😍
Without the community, all this wouldn't have any sense... And without it, I wouldn't be here and wouldn't do things that I have done... I'm truly grateful to everyone who was with me on this journey!
Good luck to you on your HIVE journey!
Happy Hiversary! The chain is definitely better with you here! 🙂
Thank you very much for those words! They mean a lot! 💜
Without this chain, I wouldn't be better either! 🙂
HiveBee Birthday!
Thank you! I would offer you some cake, but I already ate it! 😃
Happy HIVE Birthday, Dude!
Thank you, m8! 🍷
Wish you a wonderful Hive birthday as you build up a community of likeminded enthusiast and blockchain lovers.
Congrats bro!
I had my 3rd on 11th.
Thank you very much! Oh, so you had your cake 2 weeks ago! 🍰
The community built us! 💪
Yes, I mean your part is essential.
In Poland we say: 100 years! :)
(...and 1M HP) ;)
Hehehehe... Thanks!
Not sure about 100 years, but 1M HP... hmmm... maybe, who knows... 😃
Happy anniversary 🎂
I think most of us got off to a clumsy start, hey reading I noticed I haven't seen my birthday notifications on hive either, I haven't celebrated yet.
Thank you!
There you go! Your Hive B-Day is in September! You have enough time to prepare for a big party! 😃
There will always be fascinating stories about how we got to Hive, and yours has been a great, my friend, and an inspiration. I arrived here after the pandemic. I had lost my job as a sports psychologist at a soccer academy and dedicated myself to Web 2 social media making videos playing guitar. Then I was introduced to Hive, and here I am. This year, in August, I'll be 4 years old.
The way you've evolved and grown is mind-blowing. If we all had the same level of education you have about cryptocurrencies and Web 3, we would better understand the dynamics of investment and profit in this technological world.
Congratulations on these 6 years, and may there be many more. I send you a warm hug. It's been great getting to know you better through this post 🤜🤛... A big hug, my friend and thanks for the support you give to so many of us 🙏❤️... You Fuc&%$ Rockkk!!! 👍😎🔥📸❤️
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job during the pandemic, but I hope that you get at least part of those earnings through HIVE to help you out... Also, I bet you get even more, but not in monetary value and rather in friends and relationships here on HIVE! That's something that I value the most, especially after meeting some of my Hive friends in life!
Happy 6th Hive birthday. It's kind of amazing to see how things have moved along for each of us on Hive. I am sure that everyone had their own stories, and its always interesting to read about how people got started here.
Thank you!
Yeah, before checking out my old posts, I forgot about most of the stuff that we went through on HIVE and our legacy chain... Those posts were a great reminder not just about our personal growth, but also about the chain evolutions and changes that we went through as a community!
Congrats. Happy Hive Bday! 🎈🎂.
Those are some funny memories. It's great looking back on many of the cool things going on Hive over the years. You do look very serious in that first video 😉😆
Thank you very much! 🙏🍻
Regarding those early videos, I was so lost... ahahhahaha... I was laughing out loud while I watched it yesterday... 🤣
Happy 6th Hiveversarry! It's just a begging, keep it up! 🎉🥳👏
Thank you! I hope we will be here to celebrate at least the 10th too! 😃
Happy anniversary mate!
The same was for me. In the first days of HIVE (Steemit back then), I thought it was like the other social media platform where I could share short posts 😄 I remember I even posted only one photo in my posts :)
Thanks, man!
I was doing an even crazier thing... Was regurgitating crypto news in like 100-150 word posts... It wasn't plagiarism as I was doing them in my own words, but it was very close to it... lol... 😂
Congratulations with you 6 years on hive 🥳🥳 to many many more to come.
Have a wonderful day
!PIZZA
Thank you very much!
I'm afraid I can't drink the whole bottle, so we will have to share! 🍷 😃

@littlebee4(1/10) tipped @ph1102
Come get MOONed!
I remember the day you joined here like it was last year man XD I hope you have many many years here.
You've already spent a considerable amount of time here, you've made a lot of memories, I hope those memories continue to grow ^^
Hahahahaa... That was funny! 🤣
Thank you very much, my friend! I hope we will play at least one table tennis match somewhere... Shall we put a time limit on that? In the next year or two? 🙂
It looks hard for me to travel abroad but who knows. If you will visit Turkey within 2 years I'm always ready to play table tennis 😂 Not for my life, just for fun
Congratulations @ph1102, Happy Cake Day
Thank you very much!
You've come a long way with your video contents. Nowadays the videos are better, smarter, lovelier and well detailed. I saw the first video, around 2019, I think you've not aged in a day lol, despite adding 6 years.
Congratulations to 6 years, now let's make it 12 years lol.
Hahahaha... I doubt that... Luckily for me, the video resolution isn't that good, so the "aging marks" are not that visible... 😂
Thank you very much for your kind words! Let's make it 12 years and see how it goes! It would be great to see us still here, being HIVE whales! 😃
Well I don't see much of a difference from that older video to now, except for the seriousness "looks" in the old videos
Indeed, let's make it 12 years.
You can't imagine how happy I am to have met you. I'm not even sure when it happened, but you've continued to inspire me ever since, even though I didn't even know about your early days at Hive until now. Happy birthday, bro! You've done a great job here, and I know you'll continue to surprise us all.
There were many parts of this post that made me laugh 😅 your birthday reminder, the first account where you had no idea what you were doing, and your face in that YouTube video you share above. But it's truly gratifying to see those early days and the effort you put into improving until you get to where you are now. I send you a big hug, my friend, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of your D.Tube videos, like...
Hahahaha... That photo was embarrassing enough when I put it in the post, you didn't have to repeat it in the comment section... 🤣 😜
And thank you for your kind words... It's great to hear that some of my ramblings on HIVE inspired and motivated people, but I have to say that it works in the other direction, too!
Struggles through some of you guys are going through, with a heads up, is something truly inspiring... Many times I found inspiration in short stories of other Hivians, and how big some of you are, without even noticing! You don't have to be rich to be a big human, with a big heart!
It was a pleasure meeting you, and I can't wait to meet you and your better half again! All the best, my friend!
Congratulations!! I missed most of what you tell in this post, so I really enjoyed learning about other parts of your Hive journey. Last image OMG. 🤣
You guys are the pros and experienced seniors! I am a few more months to 4 years on Hive so I guess I am considered fresh! Hehehe!
!LUV
@ph1102, @relf87(2/5) sent you LUV. | tools | discord | community | HiveWiki | <>< daily
So, this was one of the famous Ph... shorts, huh? If that's the case, I wonder how one of your longs would look like. 😁
Anyway, congrats on your Hive b-day, but sorry to hear about your headache. In 6 years a lot can and did happen. And you certainly pushed yourself (or you were encouraged and reacted well to that) to try newer things all the time.
felicitaciones
