I just got back home and checked my crypto portfolio like we do multiple times per day and COTI as expected is climbing again. The other night I was up at 4am watching the green candle unfold rising over 100% in a short period of time. Today marks the 5th green candle in a row and has already printed a high of $0.25998 this afternoon.
When you spend many months tracking sideways which is known as the accumulation stage and the in my view is the most important time of the crypto cycle when prices start to move it is hard to comprehend. You are just never quite prepared for what the markets throw at you and for the last two years has mainly been negative moves.
I missed the Hive ATH due to this happening in the early hours of the morning when most normal people are sleeping. Unfortunately when you know there is seriously big values being added to your wallet sleep is not part of the equation. Over the last 4 days I have gone from a COTI wallet valuation of $6k to over $30k which is exciting and unexpected. The unexpected part being now as I thought this would happen over the coming months and thought I would have a good 6 months of accumulating more.
Being invested in crypto is definitely an emotional roller-coaster that works you over leaving you drained. You cannot share these emotions with members of the family because they will expect you to sell so this is all done with a poker face. Crypto must be boring because there is nothing to report and why it is best to keep them in the dark. They did ask many years ago what my crypto was worth and I lied yet they thought that number was fantastic and tried to convince me to sell.
You can understand why that those who know nothing about crypto only see the monetary value and not what it could become with a little patience. A crypto portfolio holding serious dollar values takes years to build with many sleepless nights apparently. Possibly the bigger the stake the less sleep you will get especially when prices are rising and so much effort has gone into getting yourself to tis point.
The last bull cycle price meant absolutely nothing and was not in any way part of my thought process because it was all about growth and accumulation still. This time things are very different due to the knowledge gathered during the first crypto cycle and if an investment can do a 100 X which I believe COTI could, then one can sleep during the Bear market.
