Ive been away for a few days and dealing with the UNI airdrop. Sold some, hanging on to a bit to see if it will go up again now that the claims slowed down. 
Been keeping a close eye on the price and doing a few trades. I knew Coingecko was better then CMC but they did show it especially now with providing the valuation of the token so fast and CMC still not getting it right. 

The UNI airdrop is the biggest airdrop in crypto history and goes to show how much opportunity there is out there. 
<b>You just cant spend time in a echo chamber of your favorite token and hope to prosper.</b> 
Thats not only bad for you but its bad for your token because you miss out on many things and cant reinvest what you get elsewhere into your token of choice.

Thats why ive been familiarizing myself with the DEFI market a bit more. My initial thoughts didnt change, its all mostly worthless trash and the legit projects you have dont really justify their high market caps.

What did change is my stance on the crypto market. Im slowly letting go of my somewhat idealistic view, although i was always slightly skeptical, of the tech and starting to see it for what it is. 

The government "prints" fiat with goals of introducing stability into the economy, maintaining low unemployment, etc. 
In crypto individuals "print" tokens to enrich themselves.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt but the printing continues. 

But that doesnt matter. What matters is finding yourself in the whole story. How do you benefit from it all. 
I say: try and preempt the hype and dont get stuck with all your eggs in 1 basket. 

Im glad i didnt because unfortunately HIVE does seem to be stuck in a rut right now. 
While the market moves on, the folks that can affect change here, _I call them "THE GREAT WALL OF STUPID"_, are still regurgitating the crypto ideas of 2016-2017, not listening to community input or reacting very slowly to it, not knowing how or will they even implement their archaic, in terms of crypto, ideas.

What were seeing is a dissipation of responsibility and  those that should take the reins, not doing so. 
Thats not how you turn a project into a success. 

Still. Hive has a strong bottom line. Many believers that are hardly ready to let go. The community is good for keeping you stable but it wont shield you from the drop off when you dont innovate and adapt to the market.

<b>Reach out and look because when you do, sometimes 3000 USD just falls in your lap.</b>
