Day of 2025-09-23

Today's morning, I decided to switch my running shoes instead of my MTB platform shoes. The weather was perfect for a jog, and I felt that running would give me a refreshing change of pace. It’s always interesting how just changing the type of workout can shift your mindset and energy.

While biking has its own thrill, running gave me the chance to focus on breathing and rhythm. Running is activating almost the complete body, bike is more a head thing, #hodling balance - rest is physics.

On the crypto side, I’ve been waiting to join the #Arbitrum staking $LEO gang. The Hive Engine had some issues with its bridges, which delayed the process for a while. It was a bit frustrating at first since I was eager to get started, but patience was the only option. Thankfully, the problem has been resolved, and the withdrawal transaction for staking will soon be processed. It feels good knowing that things are moving forward, even if it took some extra time.

There have also been a lot of $LSTR transactions happening today, and I’ve been working on getting my balance back up. The market activity has been a bit intense, but I’ve managed to keep chopping back up to the $2k mark.

Every move feels like a careful step toward regaining stability. Watching the numbers fluctuate is always part of the game, but persistence is key. It’s satisfying to see progress, even if it comes in small increments. Still 4x whoopty freakin dooooo.

Meanwhile, $HIVE has been moving rather differently, going further down during the day. It’s not just this token—it feels like all markets are experiencing similar turbulence right now.

The price decline pushed me into the lower ranges, and I ended up losing about 50 cents. Still, I noticed the market making a return in the evening, which brought some relief. It’s a reminder that volatility is natural, and patience is often rewarded if you don’t panic during the dips.
