Time for another fun filled episode of .....Storytime with Jongo!
If we use our fun little time machine, we go back to the year 2018. It was an exciting year on this blockchain. New games were popping up, crypto seminars started to become a thing, and overall, the excitement around these parts was second to none.
We saw some online influencers even start showing up and creating a presence with a blog post or two. But generally, this chain never seemed to catch fire on the markets.
And this is way before we could point the finger at the controllers of the DHF....This is when a company actually dictated who got support through delegation and who didn't.
So devs seemed to go one of two ways...Either create a voting bot, and make a ton of profits. Or kiss the rear end of said company and pray for some delegation.
Honestly, we all just accepted it because the future was so bright....
And then along came the pumps!
Oh man, when these things happened, everyone seemed to love each other lol We were the smartest people in all of crypto when the token soared past1 dollar than 2 and onto higher highs....
But then it came back down. Nothing really seemed to sustain the pumps we got used to.
And they happened a lot...
News of Binance adding Steem (Hive) saw a big pump. We were set!
Then it crashed....
A Korean crypto exchange had a huge pump every now and again...And we all promised the next time a pump came, we'd have some liquid tokens to cash out.
Pump....Dump...Pump....Dump!
It's literally the history of not only this chain, but crypto overall. Nothing seems to make sense here, you see development and actual real world use case but...Dump.
You see some whales playing around with a few million bucks....Pump.
Rinse and repeat.
So when I saw the recent little surge that Hive was having over the past few days, I approach them with the attitude of....So what?
Nothing changes when it comes to my strategy here. For me it's show up and keep creating and curating. Because that's what I can control, and whether or not these prices keep going up and fall back down, I have zero control.
Instead. I worry about what I can control!
I think there is excitement because we hit all time lows for the Hive token price, so people are excited to see some life pumped back in.
But rest assured, it'll dump. And then it'll pump. And dump. And pump...And so on.
Hey look, playing the markets is fun. I get it. It's like being in a casino and thinking you are going to beat the house. And if you treat it as a game, you'll be o.k. in that realm.
But for those of us that, this is it, don't concern yourself about what the price of this stuff is. Just show up, every day and focus on what you can control.
Effort and attitude!
