I'm on the beach again, which is something I do almost daily in this permanent holiday lifestyle of mine that I've been living for most of my life.
How does metal get washed up by the waves onto the beach when it's supposed to be heavier than water?
I don't know what you're up to in your life, but from my perspective I personally recommend treating this life as one long holiday. It works for me and I think you'll find that this attitude really stimulates good physical health mental peace of mind.
Found lying on the beach sand at the high tide mark
The struggle to survive, to stay alive, to keep body and soul together, to have enough food to eat and shelter to sleep every night, is actually really easy. After all, nature provides for all of us inhabitants of Earth. There is no need to stress about survival.
If you are struggling to survive then it means that either your mindset is out of balance or your attitude to life is not ideal or your values and perspective of reality are flawed . It suggests that you might value certain things which are not as important as you think they are.
Notice the wildfire with smoke in the distant background
Indeed the most important things in life are easy to obtain - if your mind grasps and clings very lightly. If, on the other hand, we clutch tightly to our expectations and our desires then that clinging will be the source of our misery. For example if you were expecting the price and value of Hive token - our beloved cryptocurrency - to rise systematically in value with the current bull market, then you will be particularly disappointed to see no such rise whatsoever.
I'm too preoccupied with finding more junk washed up on the beach to lament over the failed Hive really
If you are attached to your money and have strong desires, like a donkey, then this condition of Hive's failure to rise will bring you sorrow. I'm sorry for your loss. I too thought Hive token was a good investment. I know better now and see it as a failure.
With treasures washing up and a view like this, who needs Hive?!?! Hahaha
The blessing of this is that it has allowed me to become detached from my material possessions in my wallet. Now I can simply walk away looking at it as a clown might look at the sorrows of the world. I now simply laugh, do a few somersaults and walk away, all the way to my beautiful beach, which is - after all - totally free. This is the life for me where I feel most happy, touching sand while this blockchain tanks.
Heavy metal, yet washed up by wave action.
Hive token has empowered me by breaking the chains of attachment to wealth and fortune. It has been six years of accumulating Hive token and seeing it now fail miserably in this current market. Now I laugh at the way I used to cling in desperation to my wallet. I can only joke like a clown at the way I used to struggle so hard to accumulate a few measly tokens. What an absurdity, thinking that I would become rich by working hard here on this Hive blockchain.
In the sea so long that barnacles have grown on the surface of the metal
Well that illusion is over and Hive token has proved its ability to fail, perhaps by manipulation of those few whales and developers of Hive, or perhaps by the failure of the code that has built the Hive blockchain, as originally designed by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer back in the day when Hive token used to be known as Steem.
Now I am happier than ever because my attachment to the illusion of wealth that was presented to me here is now happily broken and I can walk away from it like a liberated soul might walk away from the dead carcass that was once it's home for six or seven, perhaps eight decades.
Masses of shell scattered like stars in the universe, or lost coins worth nothing because there is an infinite amount of them
What I feeling of lightness, joy and cloudy cornucopia. The beach offers much more dopamine, comfort, peace of mind and tranquility than this failed Hive blockchain. The sense of remaining carefree has now brought me to a place where I no longer depend upon the value of the Hive token to make me feel good, like I used to in previous years.
No Hive was needed to bask in this beautiful setting for years
Now I know what it feels like to get a divorce, to walk away from an old lover. As they say in the cryptocurrency trading industry - never marry your coins. I might not be dumping them at this deflated price currently, but I'm certainly no longer expecting them to go to the moon. And now that that desire has been burned up, I can happily claim my state of freedom, self-sufficiency and exhilaration all from myself internally, while no longer depending on this failed Hive price action to bring me happiness.
That's how I see Hive now - as a failed project that's never quite gained any traction or following, but simply sinks deeper and deeper into obscurity along with the other millions of junk tokens in the cryptocurrency sector. Well, we leave the trash where it belongs - piled up in a heap to be forgotten by the next generations who will find something that really works, by building something better than what we have here right now.
I would love to hear your opinion, and if you can prove me wrong then that will be a double bonus. My Hive investments have failed badly. Right now it seems like the beach is a better place to be than this broken blockchain of history. Perhaps I'll find some sun also known as SOL which appears to be food for the soul as well as something which makes the wallet swell when HIVE is going to hell, judging by the price action, based on the tokenomics and code.
Maybe some of the devs can pump some hopeium into the minds of the last few Busy Bees that are left behind trying to keep the Hive alive while the others desert it like rats on a sinking ship.
