White Swan. Or is it a black day?
Do you see what's happening to the markets?
It's a black swan, many people thought. It was to be expected, I thought.
Such complacency on the part of some exchanges, people and investors could no longer remain as before. When you're sitting behind the wheel of a car going 100 miles per hour, there can be no guarantees. At any moment there could be a rock or a pothole in the road that you wouldn't notice. In fact, it could be anything. At that speed, all it takes is a little outside influence. But you've done it thousands of times before, so you're sure nothing will happen. Right, SBF? Not with you...
Besides, you don't see the obvious nuances. You don't see anything at that speed. But why would you do that? Your car is one of the best in the world and your self-confidence never left you. So luck is with you. LUNAs are just losers...
It's time to admit that this is a white swan that we'll see more of in the future in cryptocurrencies. Thousands of tokens that hang on to the complacency of individuals or organizations will apologize over and over again. What else can they do?
But what's left for us to do?
Find the differences between real communities like Hive and communities looking for a pretty story and easy money. Distinguish glitter from real gold. Be prepared to see anything on our way up.
That white swan at 100 mph just has to teach us about decentralization. You can't tear down an organization that belongs to thousands of people who are building this together. No tweets (not even Ilona's) can bring Hive down in a couple of days if we have confidence in our creation and keep it in our wallets. We are still subject to general cryptocurrency trends and outside influences, but pressure from within will balance those forces over time. Hive will go back to 50 cents. I think even very soon.
But no matter how much we talk about all this, next time history will repeat itself. Money or potential profits will move masses of people from one board to the other. It always has been and always will be. This is the reason for LUNA and FTX. It is the reason for the war in Ukraine and the fact that it is not over yet. Huge financial opportunities for thousands or millions of people will continue this. Will each of us be a part of it and on what side, if any?
It's becoming obvious that social media can do wonders in this day and age. Advertising works even if you're sure you're not exposed to it. There seems to be nowhere else to hide from propaganda, whatever it may be. I really do sometimes stop understanding what I want myself. It's a good time to stop and think. To look inside myself again.
Whether it's a white swan or a black day, it doesn't matter. It's important not to lose yourself on the road to your goals. Don't forget who you are, were when you were a child, or want to be in the future. There are unlikely to be definitions that include the word "money" or "power. After all, if it does, it's the pictures on your phone, not in your soul. That's how I see it and that's how I think about it...
