Did you know that the *"winner of the $1.6 billion Powerball lottery will receive $492 million after taxes if cash option is chosen"*? That much freedom you have... When the government takes away more than 60% of your "free-earned money", it's clear something is broken in the system.

Do you know what else is broken? 

*"Google announcing it's running a Solana validator to participate in and validate the network".* What the fuck is that? Google?! That's the epitome of centralization and surveillance and a crypto project is making it a validator. As @dalz wrote on Twitter yesterday, that's like storing crypto transactions on a Google database(cloud).

What could go wrong?

Crypto is really a hell of a place to be part of. I mean, this thing is provocative, to say the least, but we are lucky to have crypto and to be able to use it. Not all of us are using it as the Lebanon Locals, who are [turning to Bitcoin and USDT amidst an economic crisis](https://twitter.com/CryptoSlate/status/1589013088652513280?s=20&t=50xr2nW6_Mt142QcZrm2-g). The truth is we don't use crypto much as it was intended to. But...

That's because fiat is more convenient for now. I met with a friend yesterday, who was just for a visit in town, and he was asking me how to sell some crypto by using crypto.com and withdraw it to his crypto.com card, and I asked him why does he want to sell crypto right now and the answer was: *I've tested buying enough, now I want to see how it is to sell*.

I didn't say anything cuz I know how it feels to be contradicted and pushed against your decision, but imo this is the worst time to be selling unless you really need the cash...

Everything is starting to wake up after one whole year of downtrend. The bear market that we're getting out of recently is nothing like the previous ones. The way I see it, it was the most aggressive one so far. 

Coins are starting to pop and charts are starting to paint higher highs and higher lows, which is a good sign for a trend reversal. RSI is turning bullish on most charts as well, but not all of them are awakening at the same pace and in the same way. Some look to be stronger than others. Look at LTC at what a great job it's doing lately...

Litecoin has way more inferior fundamentals than Hive does, but the market decided it should pump. That does not mean that in the next couple of years HIVE can't outperform LTC. Such pumps that we currently have are tests and we're still early in the bull market. 

Back in 2015-2016, it took BTC quite a while, probably more than a year until it got some momentum and no one imagined it will go as high as $20k. Now the market is also in a gradual awakening process. Some coins are pumping more than others, but that's just the warm-up. The real deal hasn't even begun yet.

If one HODLs by 2024, getting into 2025, the reward that "lucky bastard" will have for doing so will be insane. It happened every cycle, it will happen again. Whenever you feel like there won't be new ATHs, you should bet there will be. Once the bubble pops again many will look at the winners and call them lucky, but that luck was generated.

It was seeded during cold bearish times and gardened carefully over years of patience and sweat. It's not going to be an easy ride, especially during the years of uncertainty that we're living, but it's definitely going to be worth it. Hold tight.
