#piratesunday: Dogecoin profits taken off the Table and a Liberian Silver coin (@kerrislravenhill)

”I’m a Silver Pirate and no scurvy Financial advisor.” ~ The Bloody Raven

It’s been well over a month since Elon Musk made the Twitter endorsement elevating the Dogecoin price to lofty heights never seen before. Crypto-Shibes on Reddit, Discord, Twitter and everywhere else in between are reaping huge windfalls of the sudden capital appreciation but how long will it last?

Fast forward to today, Dogecoin has settled into a holding pattern between 5 and 5.8 cents per coin regardless of the recent BTC/Crypto wide selloff or subsequent Tweets by Elon. It was still deep into profit territory since I acquired the coins free a few years ago by Faucets alone.

In agreement with a friend’s suggestion, I warmed up my old Dogecoin wallet, then I signed up on Binance and sent tranches of Dogecoin into this Exchange. Other than trading loose crypto change on Discord, this is my first-time trading on an official exchange shifting from my pure HODL strategy up to now.

It was inevitable, but I was excited.
My objective is to take off 20 to 25% off the table for some shopping rewards and set a percentage aside perhaps to beef up my Hive/Leo power. The remainder in my updated cold wallet, and offline.

Binance has a few very useful tutorials if you are a Trading Newbie like me, the trading Interface Screen is laid out logically and reasonably intuitive. It wasn’t difficult to understand after selling a few initial tranches I settled into choosing positions to maximize my liquidation of Dogecoin into BTC and LTC. Litecoin being my favorite Shopping Coin.

2000 $10 Liberia History of Aviation Series Air Force One

The 19th Century ship represents the ships which bought the Freed slaves from America to Liberia. The Tree represents prosperity in providing shelter and food. The Wheelbarrow, formerly a plow and shovel, represents dignity in labor and hard work yielding prosperity. The rising sun representing a birth of a nation. And the white dove with a scroll representing the Breath of peace.

In all, more than 18,000 individuals partook in that option and arrived to settle in areas they named Mississippi-in-Africa, Kentucky-in-Africa, and Republic of Maryland bringing their American culture with them. Then later merging together forming the Republic of Liberia with a flag and constitution modelling that of the United States of whom most had left behind. The free African American colonists became collectively known as Americo-Liberians holding most of the power. They did not have much in common with the local indigenous tribal majority. They knew nothing of the local traditions, customs, religion and were distinct from the indigenous Liberians that felt estranged from their own land. And this is where the conflict centers about since the colonial years of the Republic of Liberia resulting in at least two civil wars and in the deaths of tens of thousands in the struggle for unity.
