This is heartwarming to read, you've dissected the probable minds of the majority. It is no doubt the concept of bull run is understood even if superficially however, our minds for the majority of us are wired to use the fastest means to reach wealth with little or no risks. Very few people are willing to endure the pain of waiting period to bloom.
I also understand that there's limited funds in circulation but, if the bill run begins now, you'll be surprised where the funds will come from even though it'll most be as a result of FOMO. And yet, most of those funds may not really be convenient or may be borrowed which is ill-advised.
I am of the opinion that a DYOR is conducted by serious minded people, accumulate more and sell less as you pointed out and practice that as a culture irrespective of how little it may be.
My fear is that there's so much noise about projects that you may not be able to beat your chest on which is viable or not but #hive has been tested and trusted and a few others that may be worth the investment.
Thank you once again, it's delightful reading this
There are amazing projects in the crypto space, not just hive, I just feel we need to do better in terms of research, finding enough ways to get external capital and taking the risks when the prices are very low. For example, there are people who invested when BTC was about 18k last year. Now a person who did that would be sitting on decent profit, so also hive. I just feel without gut in crypto then there's no glory. Anyone who wants to have their lives changed, must be able to be willing to do the time and accumulate diligently.
