Could this be the bull market? If it is, I'll do things a little bit different this time...

It very well could be. Honestly, in my opinion its passed due. Why would I say this? Simply because there is not a dragon level disaster event that generated the bear market in the first place. In other words, the correction, the ugly painful correction was expected, but its been too damn long already.

However, the exuberance of people back in those days, the amount of "investors" who new little to nothing about the technology and jumped in screaming "TO THE MOON" chants, those... had to be shaken off. Has this happened? Are we to a point where no one is willing to sell for lower? This very well could be the case and the recent news of the upcoming ETF's the possible additions of coins to coinbase are sure indications sentiment seems to be switching gears.

Now, this does not mean I'm telling absolutely anyone to go mortgage your house. I think we've all learned from past experiences. The right approach to investing on this space is so simple, it's boring. But, at the same time there is a reason why it's the script smart money follows. Average cost your buys, don't get too greedy and never invest more than you are willing to lose are hardly revelations of divine nature, but they are nonetheless the things all of us should keep in mind.

I keep on hearing people upset about the creation of new products and the upcoming regulation that said financial products require. Of course, as someone who understands the philosophy behind crypto this is not necessarily something I find ideal, but I'm inclined to say it was probably inevitable and possibly necessary for mass adoption. If that angers someone, then I'm sorry truth is truth and not everyone is willing to let go of the hand of the government. The old rule that dictates "a demand will always be met with a supply" - applies to governments too.

If the bull market has started and I sincerely hope that this is it. I fully intend to not let myself be taken by exuberance and thoughts of financial immortality. I vividly remember thinking back in January of this year, not that long ago, that my troubles were finally over. Why is that important you may ask? Because when we get comfortable, when we think "that's it, I made it" and that thought implies conformism. That slowing down of one's hustle, because we just don't need to do that anymore. Well, it won't be the case with me this time.

When things are going well, I intend to work at this harder. To do my absolute best to be consistent in personal growth as well as the projects that our community has been working on. I hope, I sincerely hope that most will follow suit. I know more than a few Steemians who mind you are awesome people, that good complaisant and when the rug was pulled out, had nothing to stand on. Needless to say, this is not meant as an attack, just an observation and a call to arms sort of speak.

Almost forgot to mention that tomorrow is pretty big day for crypto. Lawmakers are getting together to discuss if crypto is the future of money. I think the outcome of this could be a huge factor in what happens in the next few days, and depending on how heavy handed regulation talks become. It could possibly signal the bulls to jump onboard.

No doubt, tomorrow night I will be scouring the internet looking for relevant information, and as always there is a good chance it will end up on this blog too. We just have to wait.
