Responsible accounting is required. To be honest as Hive is my hobbyist expansion into crypto, it has become a power-house in creating options for me to branch out into the crypto-verse. I use Hive and it's blogging feature more for learning rather than an investment to moon. I spend my Hive whether it is a bear or bull market. Many love their Hive and could not conceive spending it. They just want to power up. That's all well and good, but to me the cryptocurrency is also good to 'spend' by transforming idle 3.5% interest into active learning.

Could Hive go to $11? It very well could and all my fun exploits could feel dumb and silly. Sometimes HODLing is a great option for safety and lucky moon. Do I want lucky moon? Sure I do, but many projects are just moon projects. However the underlying technology is something we all need to learn and actively try to utilize. Who said knowledge ISN'T power.

Dollar Cost Averaging is for the serious investor. I wouldn't say I have been strict on writing down my entry and buy points. Anything to do with Hive and it's infrastructure I have just Fomo'd into. My fomo isn't because I'm going to get rich, but because I am learning so much about the crypto-verse and doing it! LEO has certainly taught me about Decentralized Finance; cross chain swaps and yield farming. My DEFi in all honesty hasn't been a moon experience, but the experience alone makes me light-years ahead of the lay-man.

Knowledge is power, and crypto is in the media and financial institutions once again. Every time it becomes more and more critical to get on the train. I do have the luxury of spending more than I should. The main reason is that I continued to blog during most of the 'Bear' market. Hive rewards were so much more and cheaper to acquire. Those who decided not to blog at 0.11c per Hive were missing out. When I blogged, even $1 on a post yielded me a few hive.

You guessed it! I made a lot more Hive per post. This is not to say my rewards aren't any good now. The bear market accumulation approach, and dollar cost averaging is the KILLER move during any bear market. Now we are in the middle of a bull market and it's sometimes a big gamble. There are so many things coming out of wall-street and main street that makes this rollercoaster ride difficult to navigate. Sometimes we jump from roller-coaster to roller-coaster gambling different crypto's.

Looking for sales is the right approach during a bull market. When things are selling off but have good 'pumpa-mentals' you need to FOMO in. In my honest opinion and my opinion alone $1.717 CUB is cheap. A marketing campaign is coming and we can expect more investment from the Kingdoms.

Cashing out is a different animal all-together. This is more in preparation for the long cold winter. I won't comment on how much Hive I have spent on Hive Engine Tribe tokens, but it's a good bet many of them will be producing in the background during a bear market. Their availability came at a time when my Hive could have been better spent, but it doesn't mean they won't be super useful during the upcoming BEAR.

Get your Beef Jerky! Crypto can be a casino and sometimes you have to put your chips down on the roulette table. Spreading it out is just fine. I can understand the angst of many bag holders during a bull market. All I can say is that perhaps the time is not now, but soon.

Next up is NFT's. I just ordered a tablet and I'll be drawing again. I'm kinda late to the game, but again knowledge is power. I'll be drafting some artwork NFT style just for the sake of LEARNING. I took some crypto profit and bought myself more tech to re-invest into my knowledge. Sound familiar? Just another real-world version of what HIVE has done for me.
