SURGE Token Drama: My First Crypto Lessons in Uncertainty, Buy Limits, and Community Trust

For more than two weeks now, I've been making posts here and telling you guys that I've been trying to buy a token called SURGE. A token that once reached 9.9 Hive.

Though all my efforts to buy it are looking abortive, but more than that is another side to the story. I haven't been sure if I should even be buying the token because I'm just two or three weeks in this space, so my approach is just very simple.

[My buying area here is 3.33 Hive]

I'm going to set a buy limit that is just a little bit below the current price and wait to see if my buying order is filled and I can actually keep the token. What I do is that I pick price let's say 3.30 Hive then I just go and buy just to step under. With that I'm getting a discount entry if it ever dipped that low.

[My buying area last week was 5.6 Hive]

But the funny thing is that while I was setting all these buying limits, the story and the content with the post that I'm seeing these days is about the Surge token which is getting low and low every day. I tried to check the charts of the Surge token I found out that it has x2 this same price before, so I don't even know what happened over time could it be market, could it be whatever it is I'm not even know, and I'm not even aware but everywhere I turned now, I don't know maybe is the algorithm or the universe that is trying to bring me warning or let me know what is going on.

The post I'm seeing these days is all about the Surge token going down and people are saying that the token has heavily dumped and there is no communication from the token owners and the owner of the project.

Some holders were upset and they were calling out to the entire Leo team to drop a communication or an update on what is going on, there is no answer given on why the token was bleeding and why there seems to be silence from the people behind the project.

Things like this beg the question, the token going to fold up or what exactly is the plan? In the middle of that noise, there I am, who is just coming in three weeks ago, trying to make sense of everything and deciding if he will buy the Surge token or not, or if I should just go ahead and keep to my Leo token and just see what comes out of it.

Then there is another confusing part. I am not coming to Surge by accident. A friend actually told me that I should buy it, which is going to help me in the community in a bigger way, and I respect his opinion, and he has been here for years.

He also has an exchange, so I'm banking on that, and I'm trusting him. It's on that recommendation that I'm standing on not that I know about crypto, Surge, Leo. I don't know anything, but then I saw a trade popst from someone who sold all his surge tokens and moved into Leo. That kind of shakes my confidence.

Here people who are already in Surge are exiting and rotating into Leo. What am I even doing? Am I late to the party, or has the Surge token pumped and dumped? What is actually going on? I don't know. So right now my reality is a mix of curiosity and uncertainty.

My buy limit is still active and I'll probably still pick up a small amount of Surge if the price hits my level. I'm not going in with my entire portfolio. I'm just going in with some less than 100 HIVE and I'm going to buy a little and keep it for myself and learn from the lesson.

If things go bad, I'll learn. If things go well, praise God. Today is Sunday, though.

So even after that I'm not sure whether I'll stake it or hold it because I don't know if it's stakeable or holding. I don't know yet. I've tried reading through the project contents to understand their tokenomics, the vision and the roadmap, but honestly, I can't make sense of those terminologies.

The only thing I understand is UI/UX and web design and when it comes to customisation, then SEO ranking of the website and stuff like that.

Sometimes in crypto, the hardest part is not the buying and selling but dealing with uncertainty in between.

While I'm still here and still reading, still learning and still trying to make sense of it all, one small decision at a time.
