I've been a Hive Maximalist for most of my crypto journey and for what it's worth, nothing has changed. However, I've found that religiously holding on to my hive bag has made me miss out on a lot of opportunities in the crypto industry.
In the past, I dabbled in liquidity pools through Cub Leo and the Poly cub but those didn't pan out how I hoped they would. On top of that, my Metamask that wasn't properly protected also got compromised and I lost over $10k worth of assets that would be around $40k in today's price.
The main thing to note, without reliving the past is that my experience outside Hive lockchain hasn't exactly been nice, so I'm naturally sceptical about going outside. Unfortunately, this hesitation means that I have missed out on a lot of pumps.
One of such major pumps I missed out on was the Solana rise to prominence. I had multiple opportunities to buy a healthy stack of the asset but I didn't because I chose to stake Hive instead.
Now I'd like to point out that I have no regrets and staking Hive was what I considered to be the best move at the time. However, nowadays, I'm starting to look outside and see what opportunities are available.
I've held around $400 worth of a mix of assets in my binance account for a while and about half of it is USDT. I intend to look into playing the short game by rolling the dice like its a casino.
So, basically, I've got a $200 war chest that I intend to use to attack the quick flip part of crypto. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about long term and security but one only needs security when there's something to protect.
So whether it is on chain, in exchanges or just a shit coin getting hyped on social media, I'm going to be on the prowl, seeking out opportunities.
As I mentioned, I'll be actively seeking out quick flip opportunities but added to that, there's also the fact that we may be on the cusp of alt season. I don't know how big this one is going to be but considering that we haven't actually had a proper alt season in years, this one might be big.
I'm guessing there will be significant movement for the top 50 assets and well, it is also likely that we may also see movement in the second layer tokens as well. This means that if I play my cards right, I could unearth some gems that not only hype-pump but also benefit from the incoming alt season.
For example, I recently started buying some assets and bought Pump.fun token with ticker ''Pump'' on Binance. I have no clue what it is about and solely bought it based on social media hype. It may or may not be a meme coin and well, I obviously have no clue about the fundamentals. I bought it anyway and scalped a little profit.
I'm not actively day trading, so I can't deal with the daily ups and downs as they come. It is about finding an asset that pumps me out of poverty. You know, one of those 100x type assets. A man can dream.
