Having fallen asleep and awoken to the sound of Christmas carols this Sunday USA Christmas Eve morning….I immediately wondered how the crypto markets fared overnight... bear in mind...I had sworn off looking at my CoinTracking portfolio balance until the holiday was past (okay…I did cheat three times so far)….but unable to totally divorce myself from my new found hobby...I turned to the Steemit blog instead…
It was here I was reminded about the ongoing civil war between factions for and against a certain Steemit member’s success attracting followers and as a result…reaping significant financial rewards based on Steemit’s incentive system…
Now…I admit despite having been a member for multiple months and attempting to better understand how all this upvoting…flagging…rewards…steem power….steem dollars…influence works….I don’t really get it…but…what I do get is human interaction…
And like any “free” system that allows counter arguments to be heard…it often becomes a “battle”…forces are formed…each side labels the other as “evil”…emotions take over…lines are drawn…
“And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"’
(If something is already in quotes…does one double quote?)
"I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is a Christmas carol based on the 1863 poem "Christmas Bells" by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow…thank you to “Wikipedia“ for providing me this….
The following are the original words of Longfellow's poem:
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."
Fortunately…as best I am aware…this blogging battle has not lead to any deaths…although I guess in a video game sense…multiple members have been “powered down” to near nonexistence….and unfortunately…despite what this time of year is supposed to represent for those of us steeped in the Christmas holiday tradition…”Crypto Never Sleeps…There is no peace on earth, I said;”…..

people forgot to celebrate christmas just because of the market swings
Very true...
If you are new to the market, wait a bit before investing - I have a bad feeling about the current state right now....
I'm holding some major coins rn and I know for a fact that some of these coins will rise in 2018. While a lot of people are concern about the crypto market dippin, I get excited because I can buy the dip and flip it. Lots of opportunities to be made my friend.
I'm new to cryptocurrency but yes I agree with you. I just think of them that their on sale :D
Everytime I see the red arrow going down, I think of them as buying coins on discounts lol. I do the same thing on Black Friday. I buy them for the low and sell them for the high! 20% off anybody?
HODLING separates the man from boys ;)
Great slogan for a tshirt
You're right, but its been going down alot since yesterday... be careful
That's how I see it! If the streets are bloody, I'm going out to buy more
Do you mean the market for steem or everything else?
I saw lot of ups and downs in the crypto market, specially BTC, but ultimately its give good results.
Its just all about patients.
Patients is everything, dont sell every time you see negative numbers... People lose money because they sell crypto to fast!
Don't buy BTC atm, but it's always a good time to buy some ADA, BCC or ETH.
I'm a "veteran"....many ups and downs...like you say...who knows.

Thank you.

True...
Loved reading your article..... Good job fella keep it up!!
Very kind...thank you.
Lol I am with you bro. I never made a promise to not look at crypto and have non-stop every waking hour looking at prices. Even my wife is complaining I am on the computer far too long. I agree with her and I feel like this is becoming a serious issue for me.
I have my phone literally in one hand while doing stuff from kid's diaper change to playing tea drinking with them. Now it is not to say I have much put into crypto. As a matter of fact during the big crash before the long weekend I was only down a few dollars. Not even 10 dollars! Goes to show how much crypto I really have :p
Yet the anticipation and watching crypto blossoming and potential to earn a passive income is making me stay on. I hope what I put in now will definitely pay dividends in the future. My wife begs to differ.
I did a pretty good job over holiday at least not to look at balance...did touch base on the blogs though...

Awesome article. Keep up thegood work.
Thank you kindly.
Great post! appreciate it
Glad you enjoyed.
Awesome post,
Advice I’d give you, put your money into ETH and check it 4 times a day
It's all cool...eth made me some solid money along the way...now I like to be more spread out...Thanks for advice.
I feel like holding back from buying other cryptocurrencies at the moment than LTC and BTC.
Hard to feel comfortable with anything right now...
I think ripple will be a good choice for 2018 :) We can hope it is the next coinbase coin
Certainly ending the year strong...
Super
Super
Thank you.

I love the headline; No peace in this world. The ruler of these world dont want the middle class talk,if they do,they nail them for their word just as the jews crixify Jesus Christ for his word
Is scary some times...thanks for commenting.
It is called keeping an eye on the market.
wwaw
Great article, im also new to this platform and still getting a grasp of all the concept and dynamic here. I have not seen the battle yet, hope you can refer to some links. greetings
Thank you...see @haejin for example...
It is only a "battle" if we react to it. We can choose peace. We can state our opinions freely, then blog on. The list type blogs are getting boring. "The wrong blogs shall fail, the right prevail!"
Would like to think the same...but "justice" doesn't always win out based on my experiences...then again...maybe there's a bigger justice I don't see...thanks for reply.
It doesn't always, but we have to keep it as an ideal I think.
v good follow me@bilalchaudhary
Thank you..will check out your blog.
