RE: Keeping HIVE and LEO Values in Perspective

in LeoFinance3 years ago

The early days of Bitcoin illustrated this perfectly. I became fully aware of it back in 2010 (heard of it in 2009), when it was around $0.25 (after getting my first five Bitcoin for free...).

Those first BTC came from a free faucet, and later on that year I started mining on a beatup old Compaq computer in my room (you could do that back then). I was unemployed and remember having to download the entire ledger which took forever.

Everybody was on my ass warning me that I would get arrested for playing around with this counterfeit money scam created by some shadowy "hacker."

I ignored them and kept on going...

I ended up mining 20 more Bitcoin on my own (BTC price was $1), before an elderly relative accidentally threw my $20 worth of Bitcoin out with my old Compaq desktop, (the rest were lost on Mt. Gox).

After that there was a runup to $100, then it dropped way back down and everyone in my area said: "See, we told you, the ride's over, you wasted you time." Small minds think alike. They can't see the forest for the trees, and they never will.

Hive isn't just the token, it's the community as well. Did any of the wise ones sell when it hit $0.25? No, they were accumulating which is one of the ways they became Whales in the first place. Thus we build.
