It's Sunday morning. Outside rains and it seems to be a lot of fog. I say it seems because it's 5:20 AM as I write these words. I woke up an hour ago after just 3 hours of sleep.
The reason I woke up was because I was thirsty. I went to the kitchen and poured myself a cup of water. Then my body needed a visit to the bathroom as well. When I returned to bed I had to check the time on my phone. I was just a little bit after four. Some notifications were flashing on my screen so I thought to check them out.
Most of them were meaningless. Instagram, GaryVee just posted a video. Some games notifications ( I should really close those off) and one notifications from Blockfolio, the app I just installed yesterday.
Blockfolio is an app that checks the prices of cryptocurrency. You can set up price notifications and I think you can make direct purchases with the app.
The notification from Blockfolio was saying this: Steem is 0.00000001 on Bittrex. I took me 30 seconds to process that information before I switched from auto-pilot on direct control mode.
What the fuck? was heard in my mind. I logged in on Bittrex, checked the prices, everything seems to be fine. The graphic from Blockfolio was showing the big drop, probably lasted for just a second. Or probably I read the notification wrong. That a viable possibility. I was quite sleep dizzy at the time.
Well, I awake now and I can't stop thinking about this. Even if it was an event that didn't happen, it could've have. Prices go up and down every second. Especially on the cryptocurrency market. In the beginning of the year I had the inspiration to trade some Steem to Bitcoin. Now that that trade values almost 1000$.
At the same time I stopped myself from selling my STEEM when it was in all high at 2.5$ back in May. If I did that, I would've bought a whole Bitcoin back then. Image that...
That's the beauty of trading. I love it and hate it at the same time. I love it for the rush, for the adrenaline that it gives you. I love it because you can make a killing if you play your cards right. I hate it for the same reason.
It's 5:35. I've made some tea and I have some cold pizza from last night.
Good morning. Have a nice Sunday.
