I had a chance to watch this movie, Alita the battle angel. As many of you would have read about the plot from the internet, and possibly some of you already watched it and wrote a review about it already, so I'm not going to waste time talking about the movie that much. As usual James Cameron has always like to reward his audience with more than 120 minutes of film length, I find it long winded and towards the final 40 minutes I had to technically struggle to stay awake.
Let's talk about how is the twist on the movie relate to reality. I have been blessed with good SBD price in 2017. I was having hard time to convince myself to stay around and there's even one point I powered down everything and ready to leave, but the price for Steem is just way too low, and I couldn't convince myself to sell those Steems and power them back up.
Until, I realized crypto is an asset, not "money". And I started to collect more and more Steems during its cheap season. Over the pass few months I have been gradually increasing my SP by a fold. I have totally forgotten what HODL is because nobody sell their assets when it's growing don't you agree? It's like you bought a house, someone is renting the house, you're collecting enough rental to pay for the mortgage and have a little bit extra for beer, will you sell the house?
Today, a friend offering me to buy his steems. I rechecked again, steem price at 0.38$, no doubt it's a gain from its watermarked low, but how can we compare it to its watermark high last year? I tried to convince the friend to keep his Steem and HODL for a little longer, but I lost of word when the friend said how many times we have gone through free fall situation with Steem? It's hard for him to HODL his 50 over steems and ask him to be positives. He's got no lost love or whatsoever. It's only 50, but I'm different. I'm stuck 2500sp, a tiny movement worth a lot either gain or loss of value.
He even pointed his finger at me, how many times have I wanted to take some of those steem out and the price is discouraging, yet I put them all back in instead of liquidate it. I thought about it, and said fine. That will be all. I paid him a 100MYR and bought his account with master key. I set his phone number to bar mode from calling in, and deleted his contact once and for all.
Free fall or not, I will not relate the "value" with currencies anymore. I asked myself, even if tomorrow I find Steem price worth 200$, am I going to power down? The answer is no. If free fall happen again, the price goes to 0.005, am I going to sell? Is anyone going to buy from me? The answer is, again, NO. There's nothing more can I do other than HODL.
To me, steem is utility token. I don't need so call friends to tell me what should I do to my Steems. O still have some SBD pending orders, hopefully o get to trade them all for Steem and power up some more! Stay tune for bigger upvotes my friend. In going to check and see if I can buy some more SP.
