I saw a crypto related headline a couple of days ago that "Even Michael Saylor is selling Bitcoin!"

If the world's biggest Bitcoin Maximalist is selling, then these must be dark days, indeed!

Let us kick in the important footnote here that I didn't follow up that headline with deeper research as to its meaning... but it was jarring enough to remember. So I could be taking some hype completely out of context. Just saying...

I don't actually care about Michael Saylor... but reading those words made me think about "what's the plan, here?"

Unlike many — or most? — I'm not part of this circus "for profit."

Which is to say that while I appreciate when we make a little money from our rewards on Hive, I'm mostly here to read and learn more about crypto and blockchain, and because I enjoy the community and creating occasional blog posts/articles here.

I never harbored any any illusions/delusions that I was going to "get rich" here.

Which, in turn, made it a lot easier to to answer the "what's the plan" question.

Just because the markets are taking a tumble again doesn't mean it's reason to run for the hills. The idea that I wanted to "write some blog posts" and perhaps earn a little bit of crypto still stands. I'm still enjoying my time here, and while I do experience moments of sadness when everything seems to be sliding forever downwards, I'm able to shrug it off and just move on forward.

Because we never know what tomorrow will bring.

As far as I can tell, Bitcoin is just following its regular old pattern, at least if you subscribe to the "Four-year cycle" theory. At the moment we're in the sharp down-leg phase that precedes a flattening out at some kind of bottom.

If you look at late 2017, late 2021 and now late 2025, there's a pretty strong repeating pattern there.

So, I guess I'm just going to be patient and work on "building my bag" with an eye towards late 2029. Hopefully, I'll be able to get pretty close to 5,000 HP by then! Hopefully, there will still be a Hive, by then...

Over and out...
