Doubts About the Doubtless .:. #MyHiveGoals 2023
It is very hard to stay focused when things are going bad... It's hard to stay calm when everyone is freaking around you... It's hard to sit on your hands and not sell when everyone around you is selling... Having experience from some previous difficult times can help, but nobody is made from stone, and everyone can get stuck and fall...
A few days ago, I saw a comment on one Splinterlands post where the author (an old SL player) said that he is selling all his assets and quitting the game... When you see new people coming and after a few weeks/months leave, you don't pay too much attention, but when you see some "big accounts" doing it, you notice... Of course, people have their reasons, but they sometimes have "common" reasons for their actions... When I say "common", I think about the general status of crypto, the bear market, and the lack of interest (or the image of it)...

Okay, Splinterlands is just a game, it's not a crypto in general, but still, I do have assets there, and one of my goals is the GLX token accumulation, which was launched by the same team... That's the moment when I began to have my doubts about it... Maybe the arguments that the guy shared are valid, the developers will fail to deliver their promises and the game fail... Maybe, I should cash out and leave, too?
The next level of doubt is spreading into HIVE and even bigger crypto blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin... Maybe I'm just too much involved and extremely subjective about crypto. Maybe the world doesn't need crypto at all?
In the end, I always have to remind myself that I'm not alone in this... Maybe I am wrong, but there is no chance that other thousands and thousands of extremely smart and intelligent people are also wrong about it! I'm just having doubts about the doubtless... It's time to wake up and continue accumulating!!!
It's time to go back to other numbers for #MyHiveGoals... In the beginning, let's check out HiveStats...

I didn't have a bad week in my content creation journey as I did 5 posts including last week's #MyHiveGoals post, which in total, is my maximum... I had a nice engagement on some of the posts, and I count that as another 2 days of posting... 🙂
All in all, I have accumulated an additional 243 HivePower in the last 7 days, which is "inside" the margins that I need to hit my yearly goal... With ongoing HiveFest, I have "pumped up" my motivation and I'm thinking of some bigger goals for the next year... (yes, I know that I said that I will slow down next year... 😃)
The price of LEO tokens went down a bit, which I was expecting to happen (and I secretly wanted 😃) and that could be a nice trigger to buy some... If other crypto tokens go down, I suppose that LEO will, unfortunately, follow... It's like a conflict of interests... I do HODL a nice amount of LEO and I would like to see the token moon, but on the other side, I would like to accumulate more and I know that it will be impossible to do it when the price goes up!
This week, I have staked 58 LEO tokens more and added to my LEO Power...
GAMING GOALS - Flexible Goals
It's interesting how I did have doubts about many tokens, but I didn't have any doubts in the Rising Star game... Maybe because I view the game as a game and as a big community, or better said, family... Occasionally, I do exchange a couple of tokens here and there, but that's more to "comfort" my subconscious than to "make an income"...
Because of that, 95% of all "earnings" from the game, I put back into it... Buying packs, buying RECORDS NFTs to support Hive musicians, and having fun doing it... This goal is the real "STRESS-FREE" goal and I will try to make up with another one for the next year... 🙂
I have collected a standard 175 cards during the last 7 days and I'm closer and closer to the 13K cards... Still a bit far from my yearly goal, but it is manageable to get there... I'm not giving up!
Most of the doubts that I had lately were connected with the Splinterlands team... Somehow, it looks like they have more and more things on their plate, and delays in launching new stuff are longer and longer... But, on the other side, when the ball starts rolling, things speed up... So, in the end, I put my doubt on pause and continued doing what I was doing until now... Accumulate, accumulate, accumulate...
I have accumulated a bit fewer GLX tokens this week, but 2280 tokens is still a very nice number...
It's time to update the numbers and put them into the spreadsheet until the next week! So, freshly updated numbers for #MyHIVEGoals, on September 24th, 2023 are:
These are my initial goals for 2023 created on January 15th, 2023:

I remember how people were afraid of ETH falling when it was worth $100-200. Then these people saw incredible growth. Don't be afraid. Splinterlands and Hive are some of the best.
Hehehe... I remember very well the time when ETH was in that range as a bit before it got there, I began with ETH mining... 🙂 Proud to say that some of those tokens are still in my wallets...
But, still, we are humans and everyone gets to the point where we begin to doubt the doubtless... :)
Thanks for the comment and encouragement!
95.48%, you got there! I think it'll be done around October or at the start of November.
Keep it on!

Thank you so much for the comment and support! Glad to see that we are on the same page! Accumulation mode is ON!
It's tough but people have to consider what they are here for. I joined because of Splinterlands and I do think Splinterlands has gotten a lot harder. I also don't think the bots or battle helpers have gone away either. So I don't really know what to make of things.
Nice progress on your goals.
I also came to this chain because of Splinterlands, but I stayed for other things... To be honest, I was afraid that Splinterlands grew too much in the last bull run as HIVE was Splinterlands, and if SL failed, it would be a huge hit to HIVE too... But now, I don't see it like that anymore... HIVE became much stronger than it should be as it is a base layer for everything...
It's tricky investing in SL atm... Yes, we are in the bear and it could do well, and it will probably do well, but how much and how long? I like to have long-term vision of things, and my glasses are blurred atm... I'm not quitting the game, but also, I'm not aping into it either...
Thanks for the comment!

BEER.Hey @ph1102, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @eii for you. Enjoy it!Did you know that <a href='https://dcity.io/cityyou can use BEER at dCity game to buy cards to rule the world.
During this bear market it certainly does make you start to question your strategy and when the price is higher I get fomo and think if the prices will come down or not and when they are here, the doubts creep in. Seeing other people fold during a bear market can also make you nervous and bring more doubts. However, if our original thoughts about the projects are right, staying firm should pay off in the long run.
That's the crucial thing! If the fundamentals are the same, there is no need for panic... The problem with these projects/tokens is the same as in any other "human-driven" businesses... The weakest point is the people who run it... If depends on them, the project isn't decentralized, and that's another level of doubt... 😃
I have no issues with Bitcoin... With HIVE, I have a bit, but the solution is to have a higher stake and the problem shrinks, as it will depend on ME more... Can't blame others for failing... 😂
and the rest... well, the rest are my main concern... 🙂

This happens and I was thinking this same way a few days ago
It is normal to feel pessimistic about cryptocurrency but it is the best time to accumulate because the future of cryptocurrency is bright
It's easy to say those things that everyone is repeating as a mantra... But when you have to do the CLICK and buy some, it's a different story... ;)
Not everyone can do it... ;)
Hahaha tell that to those companies trying to get approval to launch a BTC ETF! :P
Reminds me that I wrote about a post about my Splinterlands journey today where I shared that I actually also sold a portion of my assets earlier in the year where I wasn't sure what they were doing the game and it made me bearish. But that's one off - the lack of proposals and changes these days actually make the game more enjoyable now.

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoTbh... They don't care too much about crypto and what it represents... For them, it's just another asset on which they can earn their $$$...
And regarding Splinterlands, they just announced that they will cut more stuff... again... I hope that means building up things on a better ground...
Haha that's true!
Hmm the announcement is so timely... Reminds me of why I was bearish about the game in the earlier half of the year.. Ah well, let's see what happens.
I think consistency is the key and I also think that you have quite a lot of that... Or we'll by the looks of it...
Regarding the... It's hard to stay calm when everyone is freaking out around you.... Well that's one of my strong points.... I'm not always a leader but damn when things are getting tough for most out there I tend to see a solution or at the very least I'm able to stay calm and think things through...
Enough about me!
How are you doing?

That's a great quality! It's not an easy job, but it usually pays off! The rewards are always hiding at the end of the journey, but many don't reach that point at all...
You are right about that... I have that OCD element in my head... Doing things following the TODO list, day by day, month by month... It is hard to stay still, but it is possible... I mean, I do have moments of doubt as many others, and this post was more about sharing with others that... It's important to send the message that YOU are not alone if you are feeling the same... ;)
Thank you for the comment! And, I'm doing fine... 🙂

Having doubts is human, but having them because someone else did a certain action without knowing why he or she did it, is probably not very healthy if you act on them too (which knowing you, I think you won't, at least not without a proper analysis first). If doubts make us take another look and better analyze things instead of doing them mechanically, sometimes they are good.
As for the goals, seems like you are doing more than well. And I'm pretty sure you prepare something for LEO too, lol. Taking profits from games - I kind of like Achim's strategy for all of them: take 10% out, reinvest 90%. I applied it for a while with some games but lost consistency in this strategy during the bear market.
It's funny how this post comes at the perfect time... I could say that "I predicted" things... lol... It wasn't just one comment that shared doubts about SL, but that one was the one closest to the "full glass"... And just a few minutes ago we got the announcement about the stuff cuts in the SL team... I'm not negative about that, but more the opposite... The most important is to build on healthy ground...
And you are right, I will not take action before doing a proper analysis... Those days are behind when I was reacting in a moment without thinking... 😂 Recently when I have doubts, I do come out from them relatively fast, before getting into the "research and destroy" phase... 😃
Yes, I saw the news about cuts and reorganization too. We will see how this evolves. One thing is pretty clear: that destroyed the excitement for the Land gameplay if that was building up, even if the Land release will not be further postponed.

Exactly this time is going on it's hard the way people think it's not happening at all people have worked hard put a lot of money but people are not getting any profit in this way yet. Don't worry now only some time is left we will see that in the future we will also get a lot of profit from the way we have worked hard.
We will see what the future brings... and when...
Yeah..
