A couple of days ago, I was minding my own business on the internet when I came across an article on Rune. Would not be the first time that coin was coming under my radar but I never really got any deeper than a carpet. 

So the main gist of this article was on the hacking incidents and how Rune is posed to recover. I get a run down of what Rune is about for the first time and next thing I am nodding my head thinking "this makes sense". So I do a couple more carpet research because you know I am never reading no white paper(don't be like me).

 20 minutes later, I am hooked but there's no extra units lying around to buy some Rune. So I commit a taboo, touching my ETH thinking it's okay. Next I sell  AVAX. Same AVAX I got when I jumped ship from SOL and everyone knows that ship did not sink, it sailed.

So far I have convinced myself that Rune is going to be one of my long term, 3-5years, hold. If I perish I perish. And even though I say that, I am no believer right now. I am just a speculative investor, which means I could wake up tomorrow and sell. That's majorly it would be quite a process to get on Thorchain and interact with dapps. After an experience on Polygon, I have been weary of bridges. But we'll see.
