Welp, here we are....again. The markets are red and our favorite LeoFinance projects are bleeding profusely right along with them. #CUB has almost fallen to 10 cents and #PolyCUB is down below 15 cents. #LEO and #HIVE are both down significantly as well. It can get pretty depressing to look at account values that were double, triple, or even more just a few short months ago. Welcome to crypto!
I've been involved with these markets for almost 5 years now and if there is one thing I've learned it's that when things take these kinds of beatings, it's time to start averaging IN rather than getting out or hiding from what's happening. It's not always easy, but time and time again, it has proven to be the best strategy.
One Regret
My one real regret in crypto was not following this advice during the last crypto winter. (I'm not saying that's where we are or are heading, just using it as an example) I got into crypto in August of 2017 just as #Bitcoin and the markets were starting to make their huge parabolic run to the end of the year. I 15x'd my account in 4 months....and then watched as it painfully made it's way back down to ultimately less than I'd put in when COVID hit and the markets took their final big drop.
I was fine with what was happening. I only put in money I could afford to lose and I realized the markets were volatile so...I took a shot and it wasn't working out. Life goes on.
My regret though, was the fact that I didn't take the opportunity to keep buying. It was obviously difficult to do. I mean, it's hard to go against the flow when all you see is negative news over and over again, with experts telling you it was all a sinking ship. I didn't know enough about what was happening to have the conviction to make the right decisions.
Now I do.
I've spent the last couple years reading and learning about what is happening with #Hive and #Leo and #Cub and #Bitcoin and #Ethereum etc., etc., and I have come to the conclusion that these things are here to stay and are only going to start playing a more and more important role in the financial world, and the world in general, over the next decade and beyond. The current financial system is irrevocably broken. The governments of our time have inflated their currencies beyond their ability to pay back and they just continue to kick the can of the reckoning down the road without ever even trying to solve the problem.
This is where crypto comes in. While it is years and years away from being able to "fix" the problem, it right now offers a way for regular people to get out from under the weight of the current financial crisis looming over the markets.
Do you Believe?
Consider, right now you can earn 20% on the #HBD stablecoin . Right now you can put money into #CUB at record lows and earn 60% yield***. Right now you can get involved with a groundbreaking new defi tech in #PolyCUB, again at all time lows, and make 30%+ yields, with a very legitimate chance at token appreciation as well. The key is: do you believe?
Do you believe that 
I do.
Nothing has changed
In my mind, nothing has changed for the worse over the last few months with these projects. In fact, they all continue to change for the better. The development behind the scenes continues at a rapid pace for all of these projects. These aren't static systems where we're all waiting and hoping someone will come along and discover them. They are extremely active ecosystems with development and innovations constantly being added. #Hive is a much better blockchain than it was a year ago. #Leo is much more robust with a lot more to offer than it was a year ago. And in another year, they will be exponentially better again.
The only thing worse than it was a few short months ago, is the price.
Opportunity Knocks
THAT is why this is exciting, in my opinion. Right now we have an opportunity to add to our bags at discount prices. While most of the world is bemoaning their lost value, we have a chance to build meaningful positions that, when the markets turn positive again, could catapult us to significant wealth. These are the times where people can make the big money.
Think about it, many of us loved #PolyCUB at $1 or more and were buying it with the thought that it could eventually go to $10 or more. We were investing in it for a 10x. Now we have the opportunity to buy it and make a 60-70x return if it ultimately goes to that same $10. Instead of $1000 turning into $10,000, now we have the opportunity to turn $1000 into $65,000. Or, you could just invest $150 and get that same $10,000 if it reaches the $10 mark. The point is, you can risk less and still make meaningful, life-changing amounts of money, if you believe in what they're building.
Like I said, I do.
Just the Beginning
I see #PolyCUB starting to gain traction over the next few months and then watching the team port the mechanics over to #CUB and ultimately to multiple other platforms. This is just the beginning and because of the markets, we have an opportunity to load up cheap and set ourselves up to make real wealth in the months and years ahead.
As I said, my one real regret in crypto was not continuing to build my bags when the markets were down. I would be light-years ahead of where I am now had I done that. I will NOT make the same mistake twice. I've done the research. I've asked the questions. I've taken the time to understand what #HIVE is building and what #LeoFinance is building and I've come to the conclusion that they are both here to stay and will ultimately become very successful and recognizable ecosystems.
Yes, the markets are red. Yes, the world is going through massive turmoil with wars and pandemics and inflation, etc. But the fact remains, in my mind, that crypto fixes many of these things and will thrive in the future, and #HIVE and #LEO are two projects that could very well have a big part in that success.
You'll never pick the bottom but I can't see either #CUB or #PolyCUB getting too much cheaper. It becomes worthless to sell them at these prices. It may take a while for them to go back up, but I'm adding to my bags piece by piece while they're down here. I fully expect I'll be happy I did.
Thanks for reading.
As always, this is not financial advice. Cryptocurrencies go up and down and you could lose all your money. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
