If you ever feel like selling all your Hive or crypto or completely leave the crypto space, always think of this guy here!!
Yes, I say this because I have a few crypto friends who have given up on the journey because of hardships especially the last long bear run that took so much energy out of them.
We all know that Bitcoin was birthed around 2009 and it was insanely cheap as compared to now.
I have read stories of how it was even given out after you register on an email list!!!
I was scrolling through Twitter when I came across this tweet here above.
Take 2 minutes for the contents of that tweet to sink in, take your time and analyze the image above.
Go back and check out that image again before I break down some specifics below hehe.
That tweet was made close to a decade ago, 10 fucking years ago.
Yes it was tweeted 10 years ago by user Greg Schoen.
So apparently this gentleman had amassed 1700 BTC the same way we have insane amounts of Hive or Hive Engine tokens.
You all saw the price he sold at a decade ago, so painful to read this!!
Btw if he had just held a quarter of that 1700 BTC which is 425 BTC he would now be having over $21M.
I know most of you might be at the verge of giving up or have had that thought lately...but I assure you always remember this guy.
If possible print this tweet and have it framed in your sitting room or fridge where you can see it daily hehe.
The other lesson I can learn from this tweet is that
Never Sell All Your Crypto token, however shitty it might look/be now!
Never ever sell all your tokens of any particular token because you never know that can happen in the next decade...
We all assume that 10 years is so far away in the future that we cannot plan for it.
Can you all believe that 2011 was just 10 years ago and if that gentleman above had kept just a quarter of his 1700 BTC he would now be $21M bitcoin rich.
I choose a quarter because it is difficult to hold through the ups and downs of crypto prices......so just a quarter would have made him a millionaire..
So folks if you ever feel like giving up on Hive or crypto in general, always remember this guy.....always remember this guy.
They say we should learn from our own mistakes and also from those of other dubbed OPE(Other people's mistakes).
I was talking to a friend a few weeks ago and he told me something similar to this story above.
He regrets why he sold all of some of his crypto holdings......are you confused with that statement?? Let me explain further
I just checked and even Grammarly flagged these words as it seems not clear...
Grammarly flagged these words and wanted me to delete
sold all of some of his crypto holdings.
Now, I am not an English person so that might be why I am having trouble putting those across clearly.
Anyway let me explain
My friend has a bag of tokens in his crypto holdings and there are some tokens he regrets because he sold everything of that token!!
An example is having some BNB, TRX, ETH,CHZ,KLV,VHTO...So my friend sold all of his TRX holdings as an example and he was left with zero balance.
In our discussion, we resolved never to sell any particular token to zero balances because we never know that can happen in 3, 4 or 10 years from now.
Ad I conclude, if you ever feel like selling al your Hive, think of this guy!!
We never know when Hive can hit $100 or even $1000, so always keep some tokens for future sell in case prices shoot insanely in the future which they will in a long term period.
What are your views on this guys situation. have you ever been in a similar scenario before???
