I've been around the crypto scene for a while now, so I like to think I know what I'm saying when I say what I'm saying. I'm still poor but crypto and the underlying technology wasn't exactly designed to work like a casino, even though it tends to seem that way sometimes. 

I haven't stared intently at the crypto market as I barely have time to indulge in trading. However, whenever I take glances at  the market, I find myself more interested in colours than numbers. 

When I see red, I see an opportunity to buy and when I see green, I beat myself up for not taking the opportunity to buy. 

Right now, I'm not in the selling state of mind and not unless something goes monumentally wrong in my life, this shouldn't be changing. I intend to stack as much crypto as I can, with Hive being at the forefront of my purchases. 

The numbers in the market have little value to me in the short term. I simply want to pile up crypto and assets that will regularly create value for me and go towards my exit from the rat race. 

My goal still hasn't changed. I'm about the long haul and I want to put myself in the best possible position to take advantage of the numbers today. 

In recent weeks, I've managed to increase the amount of Hive in my collection substantially. As I pointed out, it is cash that I would have ended up using to buy a shoe, drinks or something like that. Instead, I put it towards securing my future and I'm hoping the little drops will grow into an ocean. 

Outside of crypto, I'm still exploring different investment and business opportunities that will enable me exit the rat race. I'm still just researching for now, as I've got a lot on my plate at the moment but in due time, things will start to materialize. 

I'm genuinely excited about the coming years and how the investments and time will have paid off by then. Its a slow process but one that I'm use to, thanks to my experience on Hive and dealing with crypto in the way that I have in the past few years.
