Después de la tormenta viene la calma  y el mercado tarde o temprano se estabilizara yo compre hoy BTC con mucha esperanza, responsabilidad y seriedad.

The lower Hive price does not bother me to much. HBD is holding pretty steady, and I am thinking of taking some out of savings to buy cheaper Hive. My 5 liquid HBD is going pretty fast. I like the interest rate, so I need to think a couple more days on the withdraw.

Not every crypto is a bitcoin, nobody expected it would jump to higher highs, those who made it go that high have created a trap, a snare trap once trapped, the grip goes stronger and stronger.

Don't just flow through sometime you have to go against it like Salmons.

I find the people who are most upset about the drastic changes in the market are the ones who are shit coining more than anything. Yeah it’s a tough time to see our portfolios get slashed but we’ve walked this path before! Those who are insulated a bit with bitcoin holdings and others that will long term not go down much from where we are now are in a better position but it’s just not as profitable as shilling shitcoins. 

I would like to think that I’m doing my best to be the change I want to see in the world leaving it a better place than what I think the direction is headed to now. I’m not at the point where I’m indifferent to the eventual termination of my time on this plane because I have so much more living to do and things to teach the little man, experiences to have with my family. I’m not ready to throw in the towel on that one yet! 

In the meantime I’m hoping to carve out what I can to help us stay afloat as long as we can, I’m thinking about the changes that are going to be coming for people in their retirement age and the next sadistic shit these crazy people want to force on people. 

It is not new experiencing the high and fall of prices which shouldn't be a problem while involved in Crypto, though it is a win win scenario to experience such but majority should never panic when experiencing it low as that is the main talking point at the moment.

> It could very well be that something in my brain has dampened my emotional response to this in some way, leaving me calmer than I earlier would have been. 

I'll say it is experience. You are a veteran of sorts in crypto affairs, especially when it comes to dealing with market fluctuations

Yes it is better to leave the world better than when we entered it. I have tried to do that as well.   We must realize what really lasts...even after our (and every one else's) time here.   We may go with the flow, however to a point we can prepare...though we are never truly ready.

You've said a whole lot. Each paragraph had a message that I felt was for me particularly. Sometimes we are so blinded of what we want to achieve monetary but we fail to realize that once we leave this world we are not taking any of these things with us.

The question everyone should be asking themselves is, when you leave this world, what will people remember about you?

It was awesome reading through, thank you for sharing this with us.

I still don't really have any life goals but I would like to be financially free. It doesn't have to be that much money but it should be enough for me to live out my life without working unless I feel like doing so. After that, I think I will be able to think about any life goals for the impact that I have.

I think crypto- the university of hard blows, hardens you so much that you stop feeling weak/bad for your losses.

I still remember that in 2017 something, I leverage longed bitcoin at 5700$ with a lot of money. Got liquidated at 3800$. And then bitcoin turned around from 3300$ to 50-60k.
That was the most brutal blow to me.

But with time, when you stick in this space, you know that what goes up, eventually goes down, and what goes down eventually goes up.
Just how much up and how much down, you can't predict, considering you can see -50% in a week, or +200% in a day in bull markets.

This time, I took some profits in the last 6 months. And now, if crypto remains in this phase for the next 6 months, or a year. I don't feel bad because I took some money out of my investments. Maybe, it's an emotional satisfaction that I am not in a total loss as I have got something out of it.
Or maybe I feel like I have seen this thing enough times and crypto will be back and up trending in a year or two.

Also, in India, Government introduced a flat tax of 30% on crypto, additional 1% TDS, and now they are working on another bill to introduce another 28%(GST) tax.

So, that's a cummulative 60% tax, or maybe more.

There is tax on profits, but you can't claim losses.

So, people who are just suffering losses are a lot better now, because they may be able to recover in a year or two.
But in India, if you recover from crypto investments, you still would have to pay 60%+ taxes.

Funny thing is, I feel calm😅😄

The mystery that comes with living every day as if it were to be my last always motivates me to do what  I can now while I still can. 

I believe the more we cherish every minute we'll be able to find peace in every situation given good or bad, bull or bear. 

The current crypto situation is nothing but a time-lapse for more people to get in and hopefully have a chance to life-changing money in the future.

I bet its the experience this time. One thing we or know is it will bounce back. A thing to note at this point for those worried is their greed of putting in what they need then and expect a lot in a short period of time, perhaps the traders and there daily position. But what can we say everybody has a tune to dance them selves and a flow to find

I think it's worth writing those goals down. I also have trouble thinking of some meaningful goals once you've done the kids, marriage and career things.

This has been such an amazing and down-to-earth post to read, specially in these couple of days that there's so much fear, uncertainty and negativity everywhere. 

Just as you said, it's all about riding the wave, whether it's crypto or life in general. Our life experience is what we make out of it, either in the good and bad times. And, as they say, a calm sea never made a skilled sailor, right? Specially if you've already been for so long in crypto, you know what you're facing and the way you decide to "ride the wave" makes the difference. 

Beautiful post, I really enjoyed it! :)

> Going with the flow isn't about letting the current take you without control, it is about finding one's feet in this world and riding that wave.

True that, as long as we are building, and enjoying that, we know for sure, we will be good. I am sure, HIVE / HBD will shine soon.
