I have probably written about this topic (a couple of times) before, but it's important as some of you can relate to it... The connection of this title and the photo under it is that I took it early on the Sunday morning... As in this part of Spain, we don't have those gorgeous sunsets over the sea, but we do have sunrises like this... Or even better when you get really early... 😃

Back to the topic... In my crypto journey for these 8+ years, I had multiple ups and downs, and it wasn't a smooth ride at all... While in the bull market, you have no time to think about anything... The level of dopamine is high, and everyone is high in the sky... When a bear comes, doubts arise... To be honest, it's not only like that in different stages of markets, but the same happens in different stages of life, or doing some job... We all have doubts, suspicions in our decisions, especially in troubled times...
As the life experience accumulates (simplified, getting older 😂), you can look back in the past and "explain" (or make an excuse) some of your moves and decisions, especially knowing other circumstances that happened after them... I had a couple of moments in my life where I was "TOO EARLY" into something...
For example, one of my first adventures was launching a motosport website back in the early 2000's (I shared some of the history in this post), when I was searching for a space to talk about it... There were 4-5 car (paper) magazines in those times, but not a good Internet website... So, I decided to build one... Firstly, creating a community about it (PHPBB forums in those days), and when I gathered a nice chunk of enthusiasts, I launched a website where some of them were helping me out with the content... The number of visitors was going up month by month, but we couldn't find any sponsors for this "futuristic move"... Instead of seeing "traditional media" coming to us, we were chasing TV shows, newspapers, etc. We were too early!
The same as The Big Short movie, where Michael Burry was too early with predicting the collapse of the real estate markets, we were too early with our website... On the contrary to him, who had enough money to finance his "earliness", we didn't have enough resources to continue with our project for more than 2-3 years... The motivation of the team vanished, and we had to close down the website... I think it was less than a year after that when something big happened... There was a huge money inflow into the car industry, and auto manufacturers were searching for marketing possibilities on the Internet!!! They had bigger marketing budgets than opportunities to SPEND it!
Why am I telling this story right now? Primarily to remind myself that I was in these shoes in the past... And secondly, to remind YOU that these times can be tough and challenging... It seems that nobody cares about crypto, blockchain, and anything related to it... But, that's not true at all... It looks like that, but IMO, it's just that typical "calm before the storm"... We have never had such a positive environment for crypto and so low interest in it... Something looks wrong... Many big players don't like to buy for a high price, and this looks like some of them are quietly accumulating crypto in the background...
It's not a secret that all this "crypto positivity" is created to push (USD) stablecoins higher, in a tryout to save the US economy, and not a real "love for crypto"... But, do you think that those who made that plan aren't aware that USD is a melting cube? Do you think they are stacking USD in their bank accounts, or maybe something else?
I would like to hear your opinion about that, but also about your endeavors where you were too early into something... Or maybe just early, and monetized your timing? Please share them in the comment section...
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week, we have mined 106 BEE tokens in total, the same number as the week before!
This week, we didn't get new delegators! But we got some new delegations from old members, as usual! Thanks, guys! Appreciate your support!
This pool doesn't charge fees, and you can earn up to 20% more by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
As I mentioned in the first part of the post, bear markets can be devastating... As a good example, you don't have to go far away from HIVE... Looking at its price, or even better, looking at many Hive-Engine tokens, you will notice that not many "survived" these hard times... I mean, they are still out there, but their value is close to zero... One of those that is still out there, and its team is working on developing new stuff, is the LEO token... I know there was a cold-hot relation with it in the past, and I had it too, but we have to congratulate the team for being stubborn and investing much effort to see it succeed! That's not a small thing... If you think it is, launch a token, give it a try... 😉
There will be distributed 25 LEO tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
25 LEO tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 12.880%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 15.465%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens when creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter, and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (
