You too!
So how did it go at home? It must be nice to be able to control your own environment while it's going on. And be close to your own things should you need them.
To be honest I love crypto but I'm having increasing trouble being it practically. See, I don't believe crypto should involve governments, big banks, corporations, or anything that destroys your privacy (like smart devices). If it can't be done privately and decentralized, it's not really crypto, it's just another digital currency like the banks are offering now. I want real crypto, not fake bank crypto. I'll never use a smart device, and I don't have a bank account. Suddenly, crypto isn't very easy at all. Have you tried, without those things? As the years go by, I worry more and more that my crypto savings are becoming worthless to me because I'll have no way of spending them. For example, I need some cash for preps (food storage, equipment, maybe a little silver bullion)... I have a pile of HIVE just sitting there, as you may notice. Now I have to figure out how to get it into a form I can spend, since nobody takes HIVE. Pretty sure I can convert to BTC in a private wallet (like Atomic) via Blocktrades and a free account, if I do so slowly (1500 per day max). After that, not entirely sure how I'll spend it (or turn it to cash). But BTC is easier than HIVE, so that's probably the way I'll do it. I assume I can find someone locally to convert between cash and BTC, perhaps through the freedom community, although without a smart device it's a little less convenient. But that's probably how it'll have to go.
The other factor is HIVE price. I've put 5 years of full-time effort (and 0.2 BTC originally) into the 18000 HIVE currently stacked up. I'd rather not sell it all off cheap for a few grand, if you know what I mean. Hoping to see a move up (like the one to $3 in November) at some point soonish.
Thanks for listening :D
