My First LEO Power Up in a Long Time...

acesontop in #hive-167922 • 2 years ago

The last time I powered up any LEO token to my account was probably something like a year ago or so, probably even more. If I remember correctly I did that soon after the $7,000 worth of UMA airdrop that I got thanks to @inalittlewhile.

I took something like $1500 out of that "free money" and bought something like 3,700 LEO with it when LEO was worth something like $0.4.

I powered up all of these 3,700 tokens instantly and although LEO is about seven times lower now from where I bought it, I don't regret doing it. To me, @leofinance has been a game changer and I somehow owe this community for being able to live off my blogging, although I have kind of been "shadowbanned" by @leo.voter lately.

However...

It was soon after I joined the community that I began to properly monetize my content and as stated in many of my prior articles I plan on doing this full-time for the rest of my life.

So...

Why haven't I powered up any LEO in between these two power-ups? Multiple reasons, but... First and foremost is that at some point I could no longer afford to do that, but... tbh at some point, I simply didn't care anymore.

To be "even more honest", for a long time I believed that CUB was to be blamed for the aggressive downfall of the price of LEO, because I was thinking at that time that users getting into CUB were massively selling LEO in order to be able to buy CUB and thus causing the tokens severe bleeding, but I might have been wrong on this one.

Not once, though, have I thought of no longer being part of this community. It means too much to me to simply leave like that... Hence, now that the bear market seems to be over I thought I should power up some LEO and did that with the 286 liquid tokens that I had today in my wallet.

It can't get lower than that, right?! So...

Starting from this premise my power-up action of today can't be a losing bet. Moreover, before I close this post, I will have to mention another not-so-smart move that I made with LEO during my 2+ years time as an active community member which is holding near the top and selling at the bottom.

Won't make this mistake ever again, thus whenever LEO goes to $1 again, I'm going to sell part of my stack because that will allow me to buy more once we once again enter a bear market(you can bet there's going to be a future one). The last time it did that(topped) I stubbornly held to it and I now regret it. I do not regret getting into powering up LEO once again though.

So... Happy LPUD, peeps, and see you all next time.

Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

Nici nu as vrea sa fie votata postarea de catre leo.voter. Prefer sa vad postari cu orice alte subiect primind astfel de voturi decat tipicele "how great hive and leofinance is" si "lpud". E normal sa iti constientizezi valoarea ca si proiect crypto, dar sa bati toba despre asta in fiecare zi in cadrul unui cerc inchis mi se pare neproductiv si nesemnificativ. De asta am si fugit de chestiile astea. Poate gresesc... Nu ar fi prima data :))

Sunt votate pentru ranking. Ajută la trafic. Am observat însă că devine mai diversificat votul și sunt alese postări și de analiză. Oricum, cei ce scriu bine, postează pe alte siteuri.

Acum că vin și alte teme pe interfața nouă, vom vedea poate o distribuție diferită.

I think that there are better times to come for $LEO as soon as the LeoAds will kick in. On top of that based on your LEO tokens you can promote your posts on LeoFinance and get some decent upvotes, even if you are limited to 1 or 2 per month. We need to tap into every opportunity that we get and grow our accounts and earnings and Leo Finance is a solid place to be.

If I do power up will do it cuz that's what I feel like doing.

There have been times on my journey that I regretted leaving my HIVE & Leofinance blog to pursue another course in the DeFi landscape.

My reason for leaving was a genuine desire to learn more and get more involved somehow. But....there was also a darker side to my thought process.

It's not always easy to see others' success, and try as you might, not feel you're reaching that same level of achievement. Also, my own frustrations often lead to dissonance in relationships with other people.

The point is that we all make good and bad decisions in life. Had I not left here, I wouldn't have come to be involved with UMA. That experience brought incredible learning and a sense of self satisfaction.

As time went on, troubles arose in the SuperUMAn DAO we had built. Those same feelings of inadequacy returned and that period also came to an end.

It's easy to second guess ourselves and not see the vast value in our own learning process. In our own journey.

It was a relationship I had built with Risk Labs employees (especially @TokenArchitect on Twitter) that enabled me to offer you that UMA.

So in coming back to write again on LeoFinance, I'm taking a different approach. This time it's not about how much I can earn, but making and developing genuine relationships. It's about who I can & how I can help here.

We all falter at times. Let's be easy on ourselves and keep moving forward. Thanks for the shout out @acesontop !

Interesting. I guess we all had at some point such episodes as crypto people and crypto bloggers.
