My portfolio is in the green. What happened?
I'm so confused right now.
How can markets turn on a moment?
I don't even know what that moment was. This has felt like being a boxer stuck on the ropes for the past few months.
Getting hit with blow after blow and no escape route in sight. Blocking as many punches as possible and just trying to stay in the fight until you get an opportunity to escape the constant punishment.
To be honest that's what the last five years in crypto have felt like. Taking blow after blow with small reprieves in between rounds. Maybe even land a few shots back before getting hit in the face once again.
Today feels like a break in between rounds. Take a breather, a little water. Repair all of the open wounds and then head back in for a little more punishment.
Last time we had a good run was from Elon tweeting about doge's. That almost doubled the crypto market cap.
This time it looks like a fancy dress is driving market sentiment.
That surely has to be worth 3 trillion. So much better than a tweet.
Why would anybody research use case, market sentiment, development or other actual factors in the value of cryptocurrency when there are far more obvious signals like this one. It's hard to miss these clear signs of recovery when they are as big and bright as this dress.
Now all we need is a tic-toc video that drives Hive to $10 and we are all set for life.
I wonder will we ever get to the stage that our markets are solid enough to become predictable or at least stable over a sustained period? Not with prices driven up or down by twitter.
I wonder will any of us be around here long enough to see it or will it be the next generation of users that treat it like the stock market.
Interesting times ahead.
Now we just need to see whether the prices keep rising or if it's just a slight bounce after a long drop.

Market pumps when most people are confused.... Playing with mind is all it's about.
Well, this pump had bring some relief and Good days back after a long time and couldn't get more better than hive hitting $10....
Some day we might actually see this.
Any pump like todays one is a good chance to make more hive as the token always dumps after a big jump. If you have liquid hive it's easy to increase it by 10-20%.
Good for when we do hit those big numbers.

I get that feeling bro..
I just hope this pump continues to tick higher.✅✅
It's just a mini pump for now.
Hopefully though we keep rising the floor price over the next few months and get back towards a dollar. I think that's a good place to be for a while and will help out a lot of people.

True...
I wouldn't be breaking out the champers just yet.
That's ok.
I'm planning more for 2025 and even a nice can of bulmers would do the trick.
I was never one for the fancier things in life. Sports and pints would keep me happy.

It feels weird to see a green portfolio, indeed! Such a strange emotion that we forgot... 😃
It's been a long cold winter in crypto.
We need some of the warm fuzzy feeling again.

I haven't been paying attention. Just playing rising star and rollercoin when I have the time. And curating of coarse. I like making a little money in the background but I really should be accumulating.

It all adds up over time. Every activity on hive earns a few micro payments and then you hit the compounding effect of the blockchain.
I don't worry about the price too much either but it's always nice to see it going up for a change.

Hold tight. I think we might have a better chance to buy again compared to now. The macro environment is just to iffy across the board.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Trying to predict prices are tough and I think we were due for a bounce. After all, there is only so much FUD can keep things down before it has a chance to go back up. I have no idea where prices will go though and I think the long term view is easier to understand.

Hive to $10 that indeed would be a dream. But I doubt that this will ever happen.
But hey let them prove me wrong :)
Also when Hive would be a $10, would you sell? Probably lots would think that it could go to 20 then :)
I won't say that it will never happen as i can see a future where it's a scarce resource and a lot of apps will need it to access the eco-system but it's definitely still a pipe dream unless the apps stat bringing in serious user numbers and generating revenue to support themselves and buy up more hive to run.
I wouldn't sell out my stack at $10 as that is the golden goose to generate more hive but i would be selling off the earnings every day into stable coins and for living as markets change fast.
At $10 I could be earning a few thousand a month just from curating and a few posts. It wouldn't be a bad way to live.

Well, I think that we must consider that it will take decades before the cryptographic markets are truly stable, because solidity comes from the maturity, both of the market and projects, and of the factors and actors that we operate and invest in it.
For now, as you said, we must endure the bad times, and try to take advantage of the good ones, because as long as things do not stabilize, volatility will be the predominant characteristic for most cryptocurrencies.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's very true. We are so far off maturity yet that it's hard to know where we will end up in ten years time.
Until then we will keep an eye on what is happening and try to fill our bags on the projects that we believe will last the test of time.
Hive and bitcoin are my two main picks. After that I don't know too much about the other chains. There will always be volatility so i'm looking for staying power.

There is certainly a fell of dead cat bounce to it, but let's see what the next few weeks brings. For the first time in a long time, I have opted to put my HBD into savings and not buy HP and power up. Happy with mixing the two in the next weeks, as I figure out which way this will go. Easy enough to wait 3 days and take out the HBD again if Hive price plummets below 30 again.. I'm just happy with what I've accumulated in this Bear run so far, closing in on 9k HP now..
Look who learned all about crypto and markets. :D
We're in a strange period alright. It's hard to know what the markets will do for the next few months but i think a slow recover rather than a quick pump.
I'm happy enough stacking more hive while things are quiet and wait until we see the good times again.
9K is a nice stack that you've built up and you won't feel until that is passing 10 and hitting 20. It just keep getting faster all the time.
I went all into hive while it was under 30c but if we hit the 40-50c mark i'll start buying up HBD again and build that stack. I think that 50c is a solid price for now with $1 hive a fair price for the token and one i'd love to see this year.

Ya that would be preferable too, a nice slow recovery will be more sustainable than crazy growth.
Good choice piling in at sub 30 cent, it might be a while before we drop down to 25 cent again.... But who knows, it's all crystal ball gazing at the end of the day.
Stop getting confused and get used to the current status quo already . It is what it really is . However, nothing lasts forever whether bull or bear. It is important to make the best use of the opportunities the bull market offers while it lasts.

Life is confusing.
Crypto is more confusing.
Women are even more confusing.
It's a tough world out there. Best practice is to ignore all of it and just have some fun. See what happens and stack high before we hit a new bull market.

i'm confused too.
Can you tell me what this is about please as i have no recollection of this transaction:
