En medio de la Marea Roja: I HIVE the Power/ In the middle of red tide

¿Qué tal amigos del cripto-Espacio?

Puedo imaginar el sentir de muchos con este panorama de todo el mercado cripto (y no sólo cripto, también el mercado bursátil).
Esto parece un Dèja-vue. Quiero pensar que esta vez lo estoy enfrentando con más sangre fría y menos emoción. Sin embargo, al igual que muchos humanos (vs bots) no deja de ser una tortura no tener certeza del piso, principalmente de Bitcoin que viene a mover todo el ambiente cripto.
En 2017, viví la novatada de mi vida en el mundo cripto. Empecé a tradear con mis rudimentarios conocimientos BTC y Altcoins. Los primeros 3 o 5 dólares fueron producto de Capchas (muy aburrido hacerlas, por cierto). Pero como veía cómo se duplicaban algunos trades, me emocioné y empecé a ver cómo se podía comprar con fiat. Usé en un inico cajeros ATM, en ese momento había encontrado un par de cajeros en la Isla de Hong Kong, y otros en Kwoloon.
Me ganó la emoción y empecé a poner más capital. Mis primeros Satochis, BTC fluctuaba entre los 3,000 y 5,000 USD. Pero las Altcoins fluctuaban entre 50% y 100%, a veces mucho más. Las operaciones mínimas eran con un par de dólares, unos 0.0005 BTC si no mal recuerdo. Así, 2 dólares se me convertían en 5 USD. Y entre más subía BTC y más emoción con más dinero salía de mis bolsillos, (después también de mi tarjeta de crédito-Terrible más tarde).
La emoción, (y el sobre-endeudamiento) duró hasta enero de 2018. Luego, gracias a las necesidades vendía (con respectivas pérdidas) y recompraba cuando podía. El 2018 fue una cuesta arriba con una bola de nieve resbalando, imposible retenerla. Me resigné que no regresaría esa etapa de septiembre a diciembre (2017) hasta por lo menos en un año. No me habría imaginado que ese tortuoso camino tomaría unos dos años. Eso sí, nunca dejé de estar convencido que esta tecnología iba a remontar. Y así me mantuve con días difíciles para pagar la renta, para comer, etc. Para bien o para mal mi familia estaba en Filipinas, y aparte de salir cada mes con lo mínimo, hacía hasta lo imposible para cubrir los gastos de ellos. Hubo días que algo se me deshacía en mi interior. Sobre todo en verano, cuando mis ingresos disminuyeron, y el de la renta no dejaba de cobrarme cada día después del vencimiento por una semana. Hice la conversión de todas las moneditas que tenía en espera (inútil) de un mejor precio (que por cierto, fue un dolor de cabeza tener más de 20 moneditas, ya que hacía compras pequeñas, y estar revisando gráficas fue terrible). Vendí todo y apenas si ajusté para pagar la renta y cubrir los gastos básicos en lo que restaba de agosto. Para septiembre ya me sentía un poco salvado al iniciar las clases e ir recibiendo una que otra clase privada, aparte de la escuela, que por cierto tomaría un mes en recibir mi sueldo.
En el 2019 mis ingresos empezaron a mejorar poco a poco. Me concentré en pagar un préstamo al banco y la tarjeta de crédito. Normalmente lo que pensamos, por lo menos en México, es que primero hago mis compras y luego le deposito el mínimo a la tarjeta si ya no la puedo usar por haberla llenado. Pero mis cuentas no cuadraban con el correspondiente 25% que debería más o menos mantener bien mi límite según mis cálculos. Fue una dura lección aprender que el porcentaje es mucho más, pero mucho más que eso, ya que se aplica a intereses sobre intereses, además de sumar las multas que también irán generando intereses para el banco. Para bien o para mal, el acoso de los bancos también podría afectar mi trabajo. Eso era nuevo para mí al estar en un lugar extranjero. Así que me tocó solucionar las deudas a punta de días golpeados, al mismo tiempo que sortear las bajas de Bitcoin, aunque cada mes casi vendía todo y cada mes recompraba. Conforme fue avanzando el 2019, cambié mi estrategia a más inversión en Stakings y menos trading, que me resultaba mucho más estrasante. Y poco a poco fui terminando primero la deuda del préstamo bancario, luego la tarjeta de crédito. Y desde entonces hago hasta lo imposible por cubrir el 100% de la tarjeta de crédito.
Por ahora, desde hace unos meses he focalizado en aumentar mi HIVE-Power, y disminuir los Stakings. Confieso que debí destinar un monto a alguna Stable (pero ni las stables son garantía como se ha visto con Terra), en fin, que pensé que era muy pronto para empezar a separar a stable. Luego hace poco que salió el nuevo porcentaje de rendimiento de HIVE-Dollar; pues inicié un ahorro poco a poco. Sin embargo, con el HIVE por debajo del dólar, me pareció mejor mover mis poco menos de 100 USD y convertirlos a HIVE.
El Power que he acumulado me tranquiliza un poco en medio de esta marea roja.
Así que me digo a mí mismo: I HIVE ('have') the Power... Y aquí les comparto mi dibujo del logo que hice para relajarme un poco.

Por ahora me toca hacer todo lo posible por asegurar mis gastos de los próximos tres meses por lo menos, y empezar a usar dinero nuevo. No quiero pecar de optimista y quedarme esperando con la ilusión que mañana subirá. Cierro lo necesario para tener efectivo y empezar de nuevo con el ciclo. Quedan pequeñas Carteras con stakings. Igual y me equivoco y la próxima semana el precio empieza a subir aceleradamente. Prefiero pensar que puede llevarse lo que resta del año en un nivel lateral, quizás amenace con pegar hasta los 20 mil. Nadie puede saber. La gráfica por semanas muestra que si ya rompió los 30 mil bien podría darle más hacía abajo.

En resumen, si la bonanza del 2020 terminó, fue uno de los mejores episodios de mi vida: pude pagar una pequeña inversión inmobiliaria en Filipinas, también un lote de 200 metros cuadrados. Inicio de una Sociedad en un pequeño café. Y casi dos años de no preocuparme en los gastos.
Ah, y una contribución (involuntaria) de un hackeo, que se llevó casi el 40% de mi portafolio, con una mala pata (mala suerte) de uso de Metamask sin darme cuenta.
Si me quedo fuera por cerrar lo necesario para los próximos meses, al menos veré florecer ese rally en HIVE.

¡Las mejores vibras para enfrentar estos volátiles momentos!

(Here I am adding English version, I was thinking to do a separate post, but for now I just put here my English version)

In the middle of red tide

What's up Crypto Space friends?

I can imagine that feeling of much of you with this picture of all crypto market in red (and not only cryptos, but also the Stock Market).
This looks to me as a Dèja-vue. I want to think this time I am facing it with more cold blood and less emotional. Nevertheless, as well as most of humans (vs bots) it is still a torture not to have a certitude of the dip, meanly Bitcoin which is moving all crypto market.
On 2017, I lived my big lesson in crypto world. I began to trade BTC and altcoins with my rudimentary knowledge. First 3 ~5 USD went from some Catchas (very boring, buy the way). As I saw how some trades got duplicated in value, I fall strongly in FOMO and I began to learn how to buy with fiat. At the beginning, I used BTC-ATMs. At that moment, I found a couple of ATMs in Hong Kong Island, and some other at Kwoloon.
FOMO took me and I began to put more money. My first Satochis , BTC fluctuated in the order of 3,000 USD and 5,000 USD. But altcoins fluctuated between 50% and 100%, and much more sometimes. Minimal tradings were with a couple of dollars, they become 5 USD. As more value got BTC more FOMO with more cash got out of my pockets (later, also from my credit card).
FOMO, (and over-indebtedness) lasted till January 2018. Later, thanks to my needs I used to sell (with corresponding loss) and re-bought when i could. 2018 was an uphill with a snow boll sliding, impossible to stop it. I resigned myself that great season from September to December (2017) till at least a year later. I could not imagine that tortuous way could take a couple of year. Of course i never stopped my conviction this technology would come back. In that conditions I were in, with difficult time to pay rent, pay food, etc. For better or worse my family were in The Philippines; in addition to go ahead with minimum expenses every month, I did my best to cover their expenses in Philippines. There were days when something melted inside me. Mainly in summer, when my income were minimum and landlord didn't stop asking payment after deadline for a week. I did conversion of all coins i had (useless) waiting for a better price (buy the way, it was a headache to have little amounts in more than 20 coins checking for charts was terrible). I sold all and I just got enough to cover my rent and my basic expenses for the rest of August. Buy September I felt saved as classes began and some tutoring were giving me some money in addition to the school, which took a month to recibe a pay check.
In 2019, my income began to improve little by little. I focused on paying a loan and my credit card. Usually what we think in Mexico is first I bough my stuffs and later pay the minimum to the credit card in case I cannot use it more because of over limit. But my maths were not accurated with the corresponding 25% supposed to be applied , in my mind it should maintain my limit in a good shape. It was a painful lesson to learn the percentage it's much more, but much much more that what bank say, due to interest over interest, in addition to add the fees, also generating interest for the bank. For better or worse, bank harassment could affect my job. This was new for me living in a foreign country. Therefore, I found out how to solve it with difficult days, as well as downs of Bitcoin. Despite it every month I usually bough and sell almost all as my needs asked to be covered. As 2019 were advancing, I changed my strategy to more investing in Staking and less trading which used to be much more stressful. Little by little I finished my loan debt, later my credit card. Since there I do my best to cover 100% of credit card.
Right now, since months ago I am focusing in put more HIVE-Power, and less staking. I confess I should put an amount in any stable coin (but even stables are a warranty as we see recently with Terra stable), anyway I though it was early to begin a saving.
Recently when HIVE dollar began to give the new percentage i began to save little by little. Nevertheless, with HIVE under a dollar i though it better to move my less than 100 USD to HIVE.
Hive Power accumulated give me some peace of mind in the middle of this red tide.
Therefore I say myself: I HIVE (have) the Power... And here I share my drawing of logo I did in order to relax for a while.
(See it up)
Right now I am doing all possible to assure needs of next three months at least, and then it's time to use fresh cash. I don't want to be over optimistic and stay waiting for a better price tomorrow. I am closing the necessary to get cash and begin a new cicle. I left small wallets with staking. Maybe I am wrong, and next week price begins to improve faster. But I prefer to think it could take the rest of the year lateralised, maybe it still threat us touching 20 K level. Nobody knows. Chart shows if it already broke the 30K level it could go farther down.
(See the chart up in week candles).

In short, if the good season 2020 already finished, it was one of my best seasons of life: I could pay a little real state investment in Philippines, also a little lot of 200 M2. I began an investment associated in a little coffee. And almost two years of no worries about expenses.
Oh, also a contribution (involuntary) of a hacked which took almost 40% of my portfolio, because of a bad luck of bad use of Metamask in an unnoticed moment.
If I am out in of the wave in next months because I am partially closing, at least I will see some blooming of it in HIVE.

The best vibes to face those volatile moments!

hi) Nice post!
Now there are so many posts that the rate of coins has fallen. It was hard not to notice. Even in the telegram channel they write about it.
Hope it's still a success!

I will try the English version, then. As a teacher I prefer, most of the time, to do or all in Spanish or all in English. I think it is better feeling when reading. But sometimes I put bilingual version though.

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
