February Highlights—Busy and Off to Crypto Month with Axie Scholarship

I was busy for the whole month of February and did not manage to write and work as a newbie writer. I have no time to write and be active on different platforms because I have tons of work in school. We had a lot of quizzes, school activities, and assignments. It was possibly because of the academic break that we had last month of January.

I don't reach half of my earnings from January even in Satoshi and USD value. However, I am still thankful that I got a decent amount of crypto.

My February rotated at school where I usually spend my time doing schoolwork. When I have free time, it does not take so long so I spend it for myself and refresh myself by taking a rest. I believe that it is hard to force myself to write because it might drain my brain and cause me a headache so I just took a rest, watching random videos from Facebook and YouTube, or reading a book.

On the other hand, I admit that there are still times that I am just lazy and have no topic to write about. Those are my unproductive days through the month of February.

I also got an Axie Scholarship from the Hive Community, thanks to @blaze-scholars by giving me an opportunity to play Axie Infinity. I got the scholarship last January 26, 2022 and we were instructed to play it on January 28, 2022. I am still having a hard time playing this blockchain game but doing my best to have a high MMR.

I am playing this game in-between studying while taking a rest from Pomodoro. I also play it every night trying to increase MMR, but sadly, I am in a win-lose-win-lose cycle. As of now, I am lower than 1,000 MMR so I cannot reach my daily quota. Our manager is very understanding and they are doing their best that will be beneficial for us. I somewhat find it difficult to climb in a high MMR.

I also won $20 in Publish0x for being one of the 2nd placers in the contest #MyCryptoOutlook2022. I published my article about NFTs, blockchain games, and how it is related to celebrities that will possibly be the bridge to have a bullish market. I compiled it in the article #MyCryptoOutlook2022 - Celebrities Buying NFTs, GameFi and Metaverse.

It was my first time winning in a Publish0x contest as a 2nd placer, I usually win from a Twitter giveaway which gives me $5 so being one of the winners is a milestone for me as a writer.

I also got a spotlight from the Hive community when @dbuzz included me in Dbuzz Community Highlight. I was happy because I don't really expect to become one. But I really appreciate how Dbuzz handles the community.

For those people who don't know Dbuzz, it is like Twitter and noise.cash where you can post micro-blogs and earn $HIVE when someone upvotes you.

Furthermore, I recently received badges from different communities in Hive. I received additional one badge from #WeAreAlive community which is the #AliveAndThriving badge. I can say that this community is one of my favorites as you can share your personal life by telling everyone that #YouAreAlive.

Somehow, you will feel motivated as the community are very generous and will never discriminate against anyone.

In addition, I also got a badge from @hiveph. I was interacting on Discord and attended webinar to learn more from the pioneers in the community. It was really a great webinar where I learned some tips about the Hive blockchain.

At last, in read.cash, I only earned $100 for writing articles. It is amazing that this earning is from 5 articles/blogs only. If I can write more, I think I will earn more so wish me luck next month.

Conclusion

Although this month was unproductive in crypto, I was productive in school by doing my responsibilities as a student. It is my priority after all. I also want to earn and learn in different communities at the same time so I am doing my best to grow and participate in events that I know. 

I still have other achievements in February like winning in the Torum CNY event and receiving Bitcoin Pizza Shards. 

Honestly, after writing this and remembering the achievements that I received, I think this month is also a productive one. We can be productive depending on how we look at things. I hope March is a productive one as well!
