Whale For A Day

> For one day at least, I will know what it is like. ---   --- # To be a whale. I don't know how long I will stay here, as I will likely start a powerdown soon because I picked up this Hive in the recent dip in order to sell. I was hoping for a quick turnaround, but am *still* at a loss on it. Though, it is a considerable amount and puts me into the whale category of 500,000 HP. It was always a goal, but I never seriously thought it would happen. Not that it is as much of an achievement at the current prices perhaps, but maybe one day? > Just around the corner. # *Right....* What I appreciate about my journey to this amount of HP, is that it has come from relatively nothing, taken an *enormous* amount of work and along that path, I haven't been a maximiser, posting crap, treating people poorly it scamming anyone. I have been able to be me, doing my thing, writing, interacting, learning and helping others. That is pretty cool in my opinion, though I would have had a lot more had I taken paths like some others may have. > I have to live with myself, and my decisions. *Good and bad.* And for me, it isn't all about wealth. Some people seem to define themselves solely on their bank account, as if as long as they have enough, they are solid people. Being a decent person is how we behave, or don't behave, as the case may be. Manipulating others at their expense in order to build myself, is not the path I have chosen to take - and that has cost me financially. > But having value and having values, are two very different things. In all hope, I won't have this powered up for long and will instead start a powerdown as price increases and hits all time highs - wouldn't that be awesome for everyone? Most likely though, I will be trapped powered up, while everyone else sells the peak. > That would be more likely. But I am not selling at 12 cents. # $1.20? Whatever it is, at some point, I hope that my financial life will get better, because this year has been *incredibly shit for my family and career, and I would like to give them some good news one day to make all the work and worry worth it. > One day. Until then, I will just keep being me.
