Weak Week

Hi guys. As you guys know, HODL, that is my forte. It isn't easy when I see Chaincoin taking massive hits from dumpers. I am an active trader, but I do not have much resources. Every cent and crypto trade is as important as the next.

I've learned about patience, greed, and fear. With Chaincoin, I learned the brutal truth of the market. People are in this space to make profits for themselves. Likewise with me, I want to help Max's movement but I only had one masternode. Yesterday was full of FUD, and I expected the market to dip. I cancelled my CHC masternode, and sold my chaincoin. I have to apologize for not following through on my commitment. I put my full trust in Max, and he was attacked by many community members of our space. I still trust his work and his ethics. He has a very positive movement and vibe compared to many other traders. There is no doubt there is a lot of hate in this space. Some of us don't want to see others succeed. In this case, the support of Max and Chaincoin had been met with an equally hateful and jealous community.

Like the stock market, traders took advantage of his hard work. I am deeply sad to see the community of crypto turn their back on an ethical trader. I believe all of us must be informed of the psychology of the market. While I was hoping for CHC to moon past $7, I was being optimistic and greedy. The fact of the matter is trading is survival for me and some other individuals. Trading is a game to gain the most value by making the profits.

This weekend, I made profits by selling my 1 chaincoin masternode. I did not profit as much as I would liked, but it has taught me about patience and setting up a game-plan. I am planning to get into CHC at a lower price, but I had to sell in order to ensure I will continue my trades in the long run. I plan to HODL, I am hodling steem and my SIB masternode along with some other coins.

FUD, trolls, and bad vibes

This space is filled with those who are jealous, greedy, and hateful. This week, Max's Slack got hacked, and the Chaincoin website got hacked. The fear hit my heart when I saw people lose faith in him. It hurt me to see one of my favorite Youtubers @zedomax feel terrible. I felt the pressure he was under to make the crypto space happy. He helped so many people, and the trolls took advantage of the noobs and dumped on the price.

Plan

Although a newcomer (4 months ago), I would not consider myself a noob. I have studied accounting for the past four years and I have taken significantly larger gains than losses. I am slowly building up my investments and constantly doing research while I study for the CPA exams. Make a gameplan that involves exiting the market at specific price points. Plan to stay in the market for a specific period of time. Research! Research! Research ! and plan! Cryptocurrency is still in its infancy and has time to blossom. The market remains volatile.

My Message to Minnows and Dolphins

Whales have great influence over the crypto-space. Analyze the effect they may have on the community and strategize ahead of everybody else. Follow the hype when the train takes off, but do not chase the high rising prices, be patient. The market is not designed to be cruel; it is designed for profits. Do not hate anybody whether they are minnows, dolphins or whales. Do not hate the player, hate the game (if you must). If you have lost money trading, learn from those mistakes. Do not trade with emotion, just be better than the market and continue spreading positive vibes. A good understanding of psychology, economics, and technology are beneficial in this space.

To the whales

Thank you for your investments in this community. Steem whales are helpful, but may not be as interactive with the community as minnows or dolphins. Money changes people. I see this everywhere I go and I understand this aspect of it. With more money comes a change in responsibilities. It is disappointing to see whales support themselves and not give back to the community . Continue to pump and dump at your own discretion, but do not create panic and fear in the market unnecessarily (hacking, spamming, fake news) for your own gain; this would push potential investors from entering the market and boosting prices. Teach minnows and dolphins the way of the game. This can only help the market in the long run and weed out the weaklings.

Conclusion

The concept of good and evil spans many subjects, one of them being crypto. We must promote positivity in this environment and be aware of the negative consequences. The market is tough, but rewarding. I am here to stay in this market for the technological and economic advancements. I hope you joined to stay as well.
