It is amazing how much you can miss when you take a break for the weekend. When I was solely posting on Hive, it wasn't that big of a deal to take the weekend to refresh and recharge.
Now that I have been more active on Leo, I feel like I am missing out on so many different things. You wouldn't that is the case since the markets are closed on the weekends. It is sometimes easy to forget that crypto never closes. There is always something exciting going on in the blockchain realm.
I decided several weeks ago that it is futile to try and totally catch up on Monday's. I used to come in first thing and spend the better part of my morning reading and curating all of the posts that I missed on Saturday and Sunday. It was a losing venture and I was quickly starting to burn out.
Now, I simply browse what I can of the past stuff, throw some upvotes here and there, and just move forward with Monday morning as if the weekend never happened.
That is going to be hard to do today. I have about a million things flying around in my head from the quick glance I took at the markets this morning. So many great things to write about that I am sure others have already covered in depth, but I am going to recap my take on them here, just in case.
HBD
Holy cow, what is up with HBD? I noticed it was sitting around $1.20 this morning when I woke up at 4 AM. I sat thinking all morning trying to remember if I still had any HBD sitting in my account. I knew I had made a market buy last week, but I wasn't sure if I had kept any in there liquid.
By the time I got into work today HBD was sitting at $1.50 or so and much to my surprise I had about 7.5 HBD sitting in my account. I made a quick market exchange and I am now sitting on about 81 Hive that I am going to power up and move into some other areas.
If you want to give me a quick run down in the comments about why the sudden pump in HBD, I am all ears!
XRP
If you know me, you know I have never been a fan of XRP. Like many others, I see it as the anti-crypto crypto. It just feels wrong to me, but I know a lot of people have positions in it. At least they used to. Hopefully they didn't let the SEC FUD get to them and they took advantage of the price being close to $.70 again.
I see now it is back down around $.60, but that is still a great gain if you had the stones to buy some at $.20 after the lawsuit news broke. Like I said, I know a lot of people who have some pretty big positions in XRP, so I hope this gave them the opportunity to do what they needed to do.
Silver
Following up on the Wall Street Bets heroic epic, it appears that there could be some movement towards silver now. I have seen some info that a lot of people are buying positions in silver and silver mining companies. I noticed last night that my Fortuna Silver Mines (FSM) stock is now sitting at right around $8.00 per share.
Sadly, since I bought my shares at around $1.60 per share, I sold most of them when FSM hit $7 a couple of months ago. If it happens to skyrocket I am really going to be kicking my self. Who could have known though. That is what I need to keep telling myself.
There is really know way to have known that some well organized random group of people would do what they are currently doing. That's what I say to make myself feel better anyway.
I am sure there is a bunch of other stuff I missed, but those are the three things that have been forefront in my mind this morning.
I have a feeling it is going to be a crazy week my friends!
