Well, no. The spooky part is just season related, since the recap hasn't frightened me at all! Another month is entering, so it's the perfect time to reassed what have I been up to, Hive blockchain wise; and although the last month was challenging, to say the least, I still managed to show up frequently, albeit way less than I would have wanted. The numbers? Here they are.
| Jan 2023 | Last month | Today | |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 8500 | 10379 | 10566 |
| LEO | 1064 | 1607 | 1696 |
| HBD | 735 | 1233 | 1292 |
187 more HP, 89 Leo, and 59 more HBD this month still feels like a win. The present month will be even more challenging, at least in terms of free time, but I'm actually curious to see how will I fare: as in one of my favourite quotes, quem quer arranja tempo, quem n茫o quer arranja desculpa.
The translation roughly means "if you want it, you'll find time; if not, you'll find an excuse". And I do think this applies to almost anything in life. In this present context, I might say to myself that I didn't had time to post as frequently as I wanted this past month, for example. But If I'm totally honest with myself... I did play Splinterlands every day, haven't I? So I could definitely take some minutes of playtime and be more active posting or engaging.
Basically, it all comes down to one simple thing: prioritize! The most important tasks have to be done first, or else they will likely fade away among all the other stuff we want to do during the day; as posting and engaging vs playing blockchain games (Splinterlands is a special case since is both fun time AND investment, but you get the idea).
Not being able to prioritize can even make us miss something alltogether, since some opportunities won't stay up for grabs for ever, and we risk letting they pass by! One of the things I should be paying A LOT more attention is to the crypto markets, and improve my DCA plans for the coming months; we're in the accumulation phase, and with crypto markets pumping in these last days, the one thing you don't want to do is miss the boat, right?
Fortunately, I haven't been completely oblivious; talking to a couple good friends about cryptos, and how rune has been behaving (one of my favourite alts), I remembered I did awesome buys a few months ago, that I had almost forgotten!
In the middle of turbulent times, it was great to see I had great timing in the market: 267% up from my lowest buy! I'm still in the red in my rune bag, but these last buys did help a lot in bringing the average buy value down.
Yet, I can't help but wonder that if I had a better dca plan for this asset, I would be in a far better position now. Hence the motivation to do the extra effort to prioritise my time, and placing learning and studying the markets in a top spot, since it's one of the things that will probably bring the biggest dividends in the near future.
On a completely unrelated note... am I not seeing something in front of my eyes, or does the InLeo frontend lack a dark mode? And where is the option to auto-reblog your Inleo post? Sorry guys, I still think InLeo needs a better UX, and I would place these two on the things to add list... assuming I'm not being dumb and they're right in front of me, which is a likely possibility! :)
