RE: Are HIVE Whales a Cabal?

in #hive14 days ago

I don't know about the whales...I don't think about the issue much. I find it's best to just stay in my lane and do my thing. Part of my thing includes this:

If we only make money and do not do good,

I have a small stake here, and never intend to sell. I hope Hive takes off because I'm leaving that stake to my son when the curtain finally goes down on my ability to blog. As for doing good: Even with my small stake, it's the best part of being here. If things are tough around the house (say, someone is sick) and stuff seems out of my control, I can always come here and try to do good. That gives me a charge. I have no control over anything, really, but here I can be a positive presence. I can upvote, reblog and make an uplifting comment. That may not matter, but on the other hand it may.

It's a big world out there. A universe so large it defies my imagination (which is really quite good), so I'm content to do the little things. That includes, as you say, doing 'good', here on Hive.

Sort:

Yea I mean, when I invest in stocks I find something I think is valuable and I try to HODL as long as reasonably possible. Never selling a stock is not reasonable to me.

That being said, HIVE is not a stock. People have asked me "what my plan is."

Well I am honestly not sure. If I had a crystal ball I would be on a fancy boat somewhere lol

I prefer fishing over luxury so it would probably just be a really nice fishing boat 😅

Never selling a stock is not reasonable to me.

Sometimes, though, in some circumstances, not spending is reasonable.

I am at the season in life where I no longer acquire things. I'm shedding them.

I hope to leave the Hive account for my son. He opened the account for me. Talked my into joining.

I'd like my money to grow, including my Hive account, but I'm not going to put anything at risk.

In the 2008 crash I lost a large portion of my investment because I bought Icelandic bonds, just before the crash. Then I invested in something called dcode Genetics. That went belly up, only to open shortly after with the principals intact. My account was worth $0.

No more risk for me:) I'd like to preserve as much as I can for my kids.

I'd willing to learn, though. My son dabbles and it scares me.

Lot's of moving pieces so I think it makes sense to be worried. I would just encourage him to stay humble and remember his role in the market. When people try to punch above their weight or have delusions of grandeur that is when mistakes get really expensive.

Also, not everyone has the same risk tolerance so not all investing strategies make sense for everyone.

Preservation of capital is a good strategy and works for a lot of people.

Goodluck!
