Half Full Or Half Empty?

There are a couple of days left till Q2 ends and it's time to look into how things stand, how my account is doing.

Looking at the market, the price action of HIVE to be precise, one could say there's nothing to celebrate as HIVE is at quarter of its ATH, which is true. But is that a reason not to celebrate?

Planning And Executing

At the beginning of the year (or was it the end of last year?) I made a plan about how much I wanted my account to grow, focusing mainly on HIVE, LEO and LBI, because at that time these tribe tokens were the most important for me.

The first two months I was able to monitor my evolution and tried to meet my target, but then things have changed and those targets have become secndary as there have been other priorities.

For example the LBI community has decided to hard cap the token and we had a few weeks to buy tokens. LBI is very important to me, it's an investment that can increase the value of my LEO portfolio, so I have sacrificed LEO in favor of LBI.

Then we've got a new investment opportunity, called Cub Life, which obviously has been too good to miss, so I have redirected my LEO towards CB. Then I decided to redirect some of my HIVE to Binance and starte trading.

All this has caused an imbalace between my plan and reality but I have also given up on my plan as I'm not really good at following strict plan. My strategy is to always do the best I can, work hard and do the maximum and if I do that, then there are no regrets as I know I have done everything I possibly could.

Today I said let's see how I stand. According to my plan, my HiIVE stake should be 41,000 now and reality shows 39,959 HP, which means I fell a little over 1000 HIVE short.

My LEO stake should be 3561 LEO and instead I'm at 3,146, so I fell 415 LEO short. This is not good, but there's a good reason for that.

LBI I should hold 1144 and instead my stake is at 1456, which means I bought 312 more than in my plan.

Even though I haven't met my target, I'm more than ok with how things stand. Sometimes it's better to look at the bigger pictur, prioritize and do what's more important. These changes have been necessary.

Half Full Or Half Empty?

This blockchain is an amazing place. Every day there's a new opportunity, a new investion opportunity and we all know time is of the essence, early adopters have the most to gain.

Many of the things we get here don't exist in the fiat world, so we need to learn how things work on the go and decide if we want to be part of it or not. I like to think I'm an open minded person, I'm always interested in new things and willing to spend my free time learning, in order to be able to make the best decision possible.

If I look at how things stand, I have no reason to think the cup is half empty, I'd rather say the cup is half full and will be full soon. Things have never been better on the blockchain actually. We have the opportunity to stock up with HIVE at 75% discount, we also have a bunch of investment opportunities, new development is expected in the near future, why should I be disappointed?

In two days there will be a new hardfork, that will change the curation curve. We've been waiting for this change and I truly believe this change will make Hive a better place. Project Blank is also coming with an airdrop. There are so many good things happening. I hope the majority of the users can see what I see and decide to stay. This is not a get rich quick place and those who know that are the winners.
