Good Evening,
As my project begins to ramp up. I’ve already had the opportunity to have good conversations with interesting people. I have also had some pretty terrible conversations but this will happen in the battle place of ideas.
My ideas are not better than yours because I have more HP, in most cases, people with less money than me have a lot to teach me, and I’m willing to learn.
Rich people tend to not be very interesting. Money is a double edged sword, life is easier with money, I’m not going to deny that. People die because they are “poor” and don’t have enough resources to get the care they need. This is a tragedy. But money creates other problems, which is why the story of a successful business man, who can’t take it anymore, and just sells everything and buys a humble plot of land is not uncommon. It’s not common but it does happen, and frankly, that’s pretty interesting. How much money do you need to realize time is scarce and time is extremely valuable? Some people never figure it out. Some people don’t care. And some people work their ass off, live stressful lives, never see their family, and they die emotionally alone.
What do you want from life? What do I want from life? I don’t know. That’s part of life, I’m still figuring it out.
When people don’t like a downvote, and their go to reaction is they need the money because they are poor, it looks like a scam. This is the internet, and no one really knows who anyone is. Maybe someone does need the HIVE that bad. Maybe they are buying bread and it will keep them from starving?
But HIVE is an investment, not a charity. We can run charity through the DHF as a community. But having unchecked upvote charity seems strange.
I do not agree with the idea, that because someone says they are poor or because someone gets mad, that makes their opinion more valid.
The opposite is true. When someone says these things, it is an appeal to emotion. It is fallacious reasoning, and in some sense, even if they are genuine, it’s a scam.
There is a reason Mr Skull has been transformed into a business account and hurt-locker will be my new personal account going forward.
I am setting it up this way because I want to always be a Hivian, but I cannot commit to holding the stack I have currently acquired forever.
I bought this much HIVE because it makes sense to me right now.
I am a contrarian investor and like to buy when people are losing their shit.
When everyone is freaking out, missiles are flying, there’s a global pandemic, or any other event, these are the times I buy.
I am a very emotional person on a personal level but not emotional when it comes to investing.
I’m not a day trader or a momentum trader.
When people are scared, I buy what I can.
And when I think I find a winner, I put my finger on the buy button until my finger bleeds.
What I am doing might seem crazy. Maybe I am crazy? But even if I’m crazy, I am functional and I try my best to be a good person. And that does matter.
As people continue to look at me and try to figure out what I’m doing.
I can honestly tell you, I don’t know what the plan is, there is no master plan.
I am not a normal person. I do not think like other people. I would not wish the way I think on anyone. My mind has brought me great fortune but boy it can be exhausting yee-ha!
There is no master plan, only options. I maximize my options and I pivot. And if I have to pivot myself into a hole, all the way to zero, I’ll do it and I’m not worried about. I will have no regrets because I tried my best.
I have a strong opinion and an investment thesis. And I’m willing to bet on it. If you think I’m dumb or stupid, then you just don’t know me but I would like to get to know you. Let’s have a good conversation.
If you have more HP than me and I’m stepping on your toes. Just let me know, I'll be around, and I will show you deference. I apologize for wasting your time.
Those with more HP deserve my respect because like me, they are willing to put their money where their mouth is.
If you are being downvoted by me or one the curators, and you don’t like it, tell me what you think a downvote should be for? I genuinely want to know what you think. I want to have a good conversation and I’m happy to lose in the battle place of ideas; it makes me a better person.
See you on the other side,
❤️
Mr. Skull
