I appreciate the honesty, @meno:
"I’m terrible at selling. Sure, I might think I “know” when to buy, but no matter how much I plan my exit strategy or set aside for the lean times, I always hesitate to pull the trigger. I just can’t do it."
If equally honest, most of us would add we're terrible at when to buy too and when combined? How does that typically end? Exactly. And the reason investing is far more difficult to profitably and consistently execute than many realize.
Your topic raises a genuine question from this newbie to an oldbie - a word I am borrowing from FriendlyMoose's recent post:
How do you personally view the selling of HIVE overall? For example, in this new club, we're talking about rewards being sold into Sats of BTC.
I ask, as I can read posts like this one, with all of the myriad comments, and come away with the perception that many big accounts here on the Hive blockchain take a dim view of anyone selling theirs.
There's a total disconnect from the philosophy of personal freedom and determination crypto was born from, and the idea that people should not be able to do as they please with their earnings.
Which is to say. If anyone attacks you because you are selling your tokens, they are automatically wrong. The nuance in the conversation is this: Knowing who is thinking long term, and who is just dumping all they got, should affect our behavior.
I, for one, and can only speak for myself. Are less likely to vote for someone who is powering down consistently. This is not to say, I would not upvote them, I would, granted they put the effort. But, because I'm also worried about the long game, I can't ignore the behavior either.
The Grampus ratio people are talking about today is great for quickly assessing one thing: Long term commitment. Although as you know, some people already though of ways of "breaking" it.
Here's the deal. I rather us come up with a Karma system of sorts. I rather focus or highlight, for that matter. users that are behaving in the best way possible. Make it a game, if you will. Effectively build a healthy culture around these desired behaviors.
I'm giving this quite a bit of thought as of late. I'm yet to have clarity on the math of it all. But, I'm working on it.
Okay, I respect getting your clear perspective, along with some guidance for future thought, on my question, @meno. We certainly agree on this:
That said, I understand your caveats as well. And I think I have a pretty good idea about the same thing, as I continue on, step by step.
Again, some honesty and openness:
For the sake of whatever the future is for this or any blockchain, I hope for experiencing a lot more of this. As it is, without going into too much detail, I have already seen enough of a different approach to lead me to question what on earth I am doing in here.
Please don't misunderstand that statement. We all have one and the same universal fixed constant - our time. Which, of course, everyone is free to do with what they will. As a Silver Blogger, I want to be at peace, at the end of any given day, I have invested mine wisely.
