New reputation, same guy

Reputation.png

After months of toiling, my Hive reputation is finally up to 77. It has been a long time in the works but I'm here now and I love how it looks on me.

As always, we have to always look forward but at the same time, appreciate all the lessons learnt on the way to our current destination.

I'm very grateful for the support that I've been privy to get from the thousands of curators that have deemed me worthy of their stake. It is an honour for me and I intend to continue improving the quality of my work, to ensure that I continue to receive your support.

Anyway, getting 77 rep is really awesome. I remember when I started my journey in 2017, I looked at people with 70s reps like gods of the land. Yet here I am today, taking one step closer to 80 rep.

At this level, the reputation moves up quite slow, so it makes it even more incredible that I've gotten to this level. My responsibility is to ensure that I continue to produce quality publications for my page and bolster the reputation of Hive as a whole, in my own little way.

Surviving the bear

Like every other crypto holder, I'm a victim of the vigorously bearish market situation we find ourselves in.

In the midst of celebrating my new reputation, I'm also mourning the dramatic collapse of my crypto earnings.

I always knew living off crypto would present this kind of challenge, so we just have to live with the times.

Anyway, thanks to the widespread market dump, my hive earnings from upvotes have been adversely affected. However, the positive thing is that I'm earning more Hive now and when the market eventually comes around, this hodled Hive will be very helpful.

My time in the crypto industry has numbed my feelings toward bearish situations. It's not just a mantra for me anymore, I actually keep calm and hodl because I know that all this is temporary.

Back in 2018, I experienced the crippling bear market and I have to say, it felt like the world was ending. Back then, I must admit that I panicked but I was still a young pleb with just a couple of months of crypto experience.

In fact, when I got into crypto, it was approaching the peak of the bull market when Steem was trading upwards of $5. It eventually crumbled below a dollar in front of me and that felt horrible.

Fast forward to today and I've seen Hive drop from highs in the $3 range to what we have today. However, unlike the 2018 version of me, I'm a much calmer head, creating strategies and working with what's on the table.

I'm bullish about the market in general, and I know that at the end of this bear market, only projects with actual utility and community will survive.

At the same time, I'm not holding my breath and waiting for the bear market to end any time soon. Things may look bad now but I'm mentally prepared for a situation where it gets worse.

The point is that wherever the market goes, I'm mentally prepared to take it in my stride. This is the life I chose after all.

🥳 Congratulations! 77 Reputation is awesome!
As you said it takes time for every step up the higher one gets but I am climbing behind you to reach 66. 😋🙌🏻

Regards Thomas

PS: Crypto is bad now but will get better the coming weeks/months. We have a great blockchain here with an incredible community and Hive will rise again towards 3$ and above I‘m sure.

Congrats on working the 77. As we all know it takes a lot of blogs to eventually reach there. It is more of a symbol of dedication I feel, and that is cool!

No idea on what willen happen in the near future regarding crypto. Got stuff lined up for action, but mostly I just want to hodl and sit back and relax and make it work for me. That maybe take a while again though hahahah

Congratulations @Belemo You truly deserve it, and more!

You are amongst my favorite reads on HIVE (my online home).

and truly a friendly and insightful writer and personality!

I agree that the situation on the crypto market looks dire, me too am preparing for even as much of a drop as we´ve seen already... (I remember Bitcoin at 214$ when i first got a taste of the sweet Crypto way of conceptualising the world.)

However i am CERTAIN that things will turn around, and CERTAIN that investments on HIVE and in its ecosystem will turn out fruitful at the very least. Life changins at best. :)

I hope you enjoy your day!
