I got a new badge in Hive

It hasn't been long since I got a badge in Hive because when I became a member in the Hive PH community. Of course, it was a perk for each member to receive a badge and the role you have there. The badge symbolizes something in each community and I think the best description of the badge is that you are a legit member of the said community. Whether you are new or old, you always have a chance to become part of the community.

So a while ago, as I was doing my normal routine on blogging particularly in Hive. I saw the blog of ate @farmgirl there. She published a blog about her collection of travel blogs. The collection is a part of PeakD's feature wherein you can collect all the blogs that are similar to each other. I think what ate farm girl collected was her travel blogs that happened abroad. It was actually cool to see it all because you don't have to find it for yourself. That's the power and use of the collection feature in PeakD.

So this is my current Hive account look, and you can see that I have two badges under my profile picture. I was actually not expecting to have a badge since I do not know how about collection feature. All I know is that it helps users to compile his related works into one and he can add more works in the future. So having a badge is out of the question and on my mind. But I still love it though. It looks awesome and you feel like growing in Hive. It's like an achievement or something.

My current goal actually is to gain a pizza holder badge, but it seems it will take some time for me to have it because I don't have a sufficient amount of pizza staked in my account. I don't know exactly how to buy pizza, but there are some discord servers which gives free pizzas through airdrop. I think that's the reason why I got pizza in discord. Anyway, I hope I can gain some more from them. I want to use pizza command in Hive. It would be kind of an awesome to experience. But let's see what will happen next.

One thing I noticed about selecting the right blogs for your collection is that it should be curated by the curators. That's why CCC stands for Content Curated Collection. But I am not sure if that's it or you can still include blogs that haven't been yet curated. Anyways, we're all curators in Hive, it's just a matter of how much you have staked in HP and it increased your voting value. The bigger, the better. However, gaining HP is quite hard if you are earning low per blog.

It was truly a gift and a sense of achievement whenever you are having a badge. There are times when I stalked some old users in Hive, they have a lot of badges in under their names and sometimes you cannot see them all since they are too many. I would say that if you are gaining badges, it means your reputation is rising as well. You know, it has an impact for the eyes of readers and curators since they know you are a good content creator. I have seen multiple of users who gained such huge upvotes in split of minutes. Like, what? That's awesome!

For now, I think that best way to do is to make yourself improve and observe how things work in Hive. I think observing is a way of developing and the process of growth will increase even more. The fact that you are observing means you are gathering data (research yarn?) and make a final assessment of what you should do next. I think that's a very important thing to do when you are willing to grow not just being a writer, but as a general.
