I wrote most of this post yesterday. But later I remembered I was supposed to do the Hive's birthday post. Hence I postponed this one for today. Imagine you're reading it yesterday.
Today is turning out to be very strange. I am not sure whether I am liking the day more as it goes by, or hating it more!
Let's start at last night. I was on night shift at the medicine ward. Most of the patients were generally stable except for one. I followed up the patient for a few times till she stabilized a bit and the decided to hit the bed. Now, "hit the bed" at a government hospital in this country is actually very, very different to the comfort you'd expect from hitting the bed generally. Nonetheless, I decided to give my backs a bit of rest. But the beds are uncomfortable as F and you can't turn off the lights because if you do - cockroaches will be crawling all over you. And that's at the best medical college in the country LOL!
The only way for you get some actual sleep is if you're extremely fatigued, which I was not. Hence unable to sleep, I decided to just give up and started watching the El Classico on my phone. Barcelona had a good start and I was thinking hmm, maybe not a total waste of time eh! And the Real Madrid scored! I will go into a detailed analysis of the match in a different post (maybe), but it turned out to be a fantastic game - especially after Barcelona snatched the winner in the dying minutes of the game. I got a good couple of hours of sleep after that.
Just when the sleep was getting real good I was woken up by a patient, *sigh.
It's hard falling back asleep after waking up there so I did what any sane person would do at 6 a.m. in the morning - check his binance account! And Holy Moly!
HIVE was doing its dick candle thing again!
I thought to myself, well it wasn’t too bad that I was woken up eh! And it seemed the peak had already happened at 51.5 cents. So I quickly decided to sell half my stack at 48.6 cents.
I was pretty sure I'd make some quick buck out of this trade. So, feeling elated with myself, I freshened up and my shift was nearing its end as well. I set off for the local market to buy chicken, still feeling elated. And then I checked the charts again and HIVE was back above 52 cents. FML! 🤦♂️
I was now starting to get pissed that I was awake when I was. Otherwise if I had checked the charts now, I could have sold higher. But no matter, I still had half my stack left which I sold at 52.6 cents and then began the waiting game. I was out of liquid HIVE, and if HIVE pumped further I was well and truly f***ed!
I couldn’t get any sleep after I returned home either - the noise from the construction works upstairs was just a little bit too much to tolerate. And believe you me, you don't want to feel how it feels when you can't get any sleep the next day after a night shift at a government hospital!
I was extremely annoyed, but hey! I booked some really nice profit by midday and I was feeling elated again!
I even covered up all of the loss I took on my hive holdings a few weeks back and I am back up to where I was.
So, a pretty shitty day - but not a bad day either!
