## 2020 WAS VERY "UNIQUE"
I believe for many of us, 2020 has been very unique and challenging. A year full of uncertainty and worries about our health and financial future.
As a community, we've came really far within the recent 12 months. Many of you, dear readers, didn't even know about our existance just a year ago. And today you're part of a group of amazing people. Often very well educated, sharing similar interests and values. Group of like-minded and mostly TEAM-ORIENTATED people.
We've build something which most communities seem to fail: SENSE OF BELONGING ....
## SAILING INTO UNKNOWNG
And I truly feel, that I'm part of something great. I still do not know where blockchain technology is heading or how HIVE will evolve in the upcoming future, but it is hard not to share excitement, while having skype conversations with some of you.
Brainstorming different ideas. Sharing common understanding, that Project.hope may bring us opportunities and knowing that as a community - we will face many challenges.
We're all early adopters. And sometimes, I've the impression that we're part of a crew sailing through uncharted waters. Don't you ever feel this way?
## SOME PAST CHALLENGES
One of the most severe challenges in 2020 has definetly been related to STEEM and HIVE forking out. Trying to stay neutral within the conflictthat rages between those two blockchains has been ... far from easy.
I've witnessed many smaller communities crash, our own members have been targetted and I've been called names.
Luckily, the saying "what will not break you, will only make you stronger" worked just well for us. Some of our members quit under pressure, however those who have left have became a backbone of our PH community.
And for that I'm grateful and absolutely proud.
## BIG THUMBS UP TO ...
It would be difficult to name everyone who I've learned to value and appreciate. There has been so many amazing people, who managed to support our community growth during last year. So many, who brought energy into our group. So many, who I would love to say THANK YOU.
### special thanks to @juanmolina, @josevas217 and @achim03. You guys have been part of this community for so long and amount of energy and time you've invested into building Project.hope has been insane. It's a pleasure to work with each one of you.
## Project.hope VISION AND GOALS for 2021:
Stay tuned and visit our profile every now and then. Soon we will be sharing our vision and goals for PH community for 2021. None of it will be much different from what we did in 2020, however many of our members are quite new so I would consider it necessary to refresh those informations.
Yours, @crypto.piotr
