Unplugging

avatar

image009.jpg

It took me a while, but I actually did it last night. I finally broke down and turned off all of the price alerts that had been blowing up my phone the past week from various apps. It's not that the influx of negative price movement really bugs me, but I think we all know what kind of a market we are in right now. Having a constant reminder of it every couple of minutes really isn't necessary.

Not to beat the same dead horse that pretty much every one else has been beating, but markets are going to do what markets want to do. We really have no control over any of it. All we can do is take care of ourselves, keep engaging, keep stacking, and keeping doing what we do every day.

I don't stop coming into work each day simply because the price of gas is up, or the roads washed out in Yellowstone National Park, or any other number of global or local events. It should be no different with my HIVE/LEO account and other investments in crypto.

All that being said, the title of this post is "Unplugging" and that is exactly what I am going to be doing in a couple of days here. @mrsbozz and I are preparing for a short trip that could take me away from the blockchain for a bit. I plan on taking my laptop, but logging in each day is not going to be a priority for me. In fact, I am not even sure I am going to have the Internet connectivity where we are going to do much anyway.

What I do plan on doing, is to refresh, refocus, gather material for future posts, and in general just relax. It's been two years since I have been to this part of my great state and I am really looking forward to heading back there.

What that means for you, is that I might not be posting or engaging as much as I usually do. Sure, I could have scheduled a bunch of posts, but then I would feel obligated to reply to all the comments that result from those posts.

I did take advantage of the automailer feature in Listnerds and I have curated some of my finest past content to share with my followers on that platform. Since it is past content, I won't feel so bad if I don't get to any resulting comments right away.

As for you, I am not trying to dictate your schedule, but I hope you are able to take a step back and just breathe during this crazy time we are going through. I remember people saying with absolute confidence we would never seen BTC below $20k again and yet here we are. Dipping and testing that line, with many people calling for a bottom at $16K, $14K, or in some cases sub $10K.

It will recover, I think there is little doubt in any of our minds that will be the case, but until then, "Frankie Says Relax"

Nice one Bozz everyone needs to breathe every now and then. I have been feeling this way for the past month too. But I’m too broke to afford any vacation that will not be earning me back what I spend on it lol...for now.

Cheers man. Have a great time.

Yeah, I get that. I am pretty blessed that we are able to go. We will be camping, so that cuts down on the cost quite a bit. Sort of I guess. With the price of gas right now it might have been cheaper to take the car and stay in a hotel!

First of all and maybe the most important one, is enjoy your trip with mrsbozz. Nothing can beat dedicated time with your loved ones.
Secondly, we have been here before. And we know that there are 2 options. Or everything vaporizes and the only thing that is left are some great social media channels. Or, but this could take some time, read many many many moons, we will break all all-time heights again.
Here a virtual beer for on your trip. !BEER

That many many many moons is the part that bugs me. I'd be happier if it was just many moons :) Thanks for the kind words. I think we are going to have a blast!

Yeah, it is kind of a hot mess out there! I have to be a bit connected, so I will take my laptop, but that doesn't mean I will open it too much.

Enjoy!

Ignore price and your life will be much happier.

The market will do what it does. Simply focus upon what you can do within the realm of what you can control.

I took a cruise a month ago and really didn't mind being unplugged.

Hi @bozz

I think you are onto the right idea. I was so surprised when the price alerts I had set back in 2020 started going crazy on my phone, I really thought that I would never see those prices again and yet, here we are.

A break is never a bad thing especially when you know in your soul that you need it. I hope you & @mrsbozz have a fantastic time and get to really reset.

Good choice of song too!

Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah, I didn't even know some of those apps were setup to notify me. I figure if I want price updates people will be talking about it in the Leo Discord, so I will just go there.

You are right, "markets are going to do what markets are going to do". We cannot really influence them. Thanks for sharing.

First, enjoy the break! Time is valuable, spend it wisely in this wonderful world we live in!

It's always most tempting to "tap out" and unplug while the market is down, but these are the best times. This is where the stacks are made: people stop posting, so there's less competition for votes. Posts pay out more tokens, even if they are less dollars. My experience is that this is when the best conversations happen, because only the committed stick around during these times.

The longer the market stays low, the more time there is to build up the empire and be better positioned for when the market goes back up!

Thank you! I stuck around through the last one. I don't see myself going anywhere on this one. Except maybe a few camping trips here and there! Pretty excited to head up to the UP next week!

It's nice to get away and just smell some fresh air.Worrying about what will be isn't worth it.You and the Mrs. take the time as you say to refresh, relax and rebuild since the last 2 yrs were lost.Camping will be worth it.It's the same on this side of the Canadian border.People are out camping and doing what there doing.Be well, enjoy yourselves.

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, people have been camping like crazy since Covid hit. It is one of the few things we were still able to do. I expected a lot of people would give up on it after things kind of got back to normal, but the parks are still packed full!

I had a Canadian tell me one time that the provincial parks don't allow you to drink in them so that is the reason a lot of Canadians come to the Michigan State Parks to camp. Especially near the border in Sault Ste Marie.

It varies from province to province.Here in Manitoba your allowed alcohol at your site and if you are in a group or want to visit your neighbor that's fine too.Some campgrounds have had problems with the younger ones getting too rowdy.There is officers on patrol in most cases.Checking out the campgrounds online is your easiest way to know if alcohol can be consumed on the site.

Interesting! People get rowdy down here too. We've actually been warned a couple of times to quiet down. It doesn't happen often though.

I'm trying to spend less time looking at prices. It's not like I am selling my $HIVE right now, but I will need some funds for Hivefest fairly soon, so I could do with it going up a bit.

Yeah, I am not really looking either. The only thing I am trying to pull money together for right now is a Splinterlands Node. HiveFest would be a moonshot for me.

Have a great time with @mrsbozz as y'all travel. Don't come to Nashville, it is 100 degrees plus this week. It is always good to step away from our daily routines once in a while. Good post, @bozz

We are heading North where it is typically supposed to be cooler but it looks like we are going to have temps in the 80's and 90's anyway :P

I call this crypto holiday. I will at time take a break away from crypto. It can be a day, a week or even a month and dont care about crypto. Let my mind recharge and then get back to it again. It works very well especially during bear market so I am not affected by all the negativity.

I do that pretty much every weekend. During the week I am all business. Weekends I take time to recharge and spend time with the family.

Smart choice I think. Just before we left Budapest, I also removed the coingecko app as the notifications drove me nuts.
I don't feel the need to visit the website constantly so it gives me some peace of mind. I hope it will give you that too!

Take care of yourself and unplug for a bit, it will definitely be good for you, I'm sure. Hopefully, you come back refreshed and disconnected enough to not care every 10 minutes what prices are doing. To me it has been liberating!

Have a good one!
