... the year of the truth of this bull market. The one that will tell us how appreciated will be our work throughout the cycle, if we kept building (businesses, stakes, assets, Web 3 identity, etc.).
The year of important decisions. Enough of us would have been farther ahead in what always seems a race against the implacable passing of time, had we made better decisions during the previous bull market. So... no pressure, right? 🤣
I started the year with a symbolic power up on HPUD of my Hive staking account. This is an account I won't start powering down unless the price of Hive really goes nuts this bull market. Very unlikely to happen to such an extent, or if it does to last long enough for me to perform an undelegation plus power down. So, I expect my staking account to be mostly the same at the end of the bull market, a little higher from small power ups.
I also checked how my crypto assets have performed in December. As you may expect, not very well after the sharp rally post US elections. Luckily for us, Hive kept the flag high, and not only did not lose value, but increased over the last month of the year. That pretty much compensated virtual losses in December on other assets for me.
Let's admit, it's nice for a change to have Hive ecosystem (mostly HIVE) pull the portfolio value up instead of dragging it down.
As the year-end vacations finish and people come back to work again, I expect the markets to re-activate again, and likely continue to push up after this pullback. We may still have a couple of days of twilight zone until then. That also means there will likely be fewer opportunities for Hive pumps for a while, which usually happen when the general crypto market is boring, goes sideways or slightly down.
I'm excited for what 2025 could bring for us in crypto, but also trying to remain grounded and not repeat the mistakes of the past or to make other new ones that could hurt a lot.
