All your hopes and dreams...

PXL_20260709_153012951.jpg


It was just about the peak of the four year cycle when I first got into cryptocurrency. It was November of 2017 and whatever I was buying was pretty close to the top. I had a STEEM account, but my stake was so small and my followers so low that there wasn't much of anything I could do with it. Back then, I didn't even know about the four year cycle and I had zero clue that I would be waiting that long for things to get exciting again.

When November of 2021 rolled round, I was in a much better position as far as crypto is concerned, but I still didn't have the experience of living through the start and end of a four year peak. Needless to say, I played a lot of things wrong in 2021. I did a couple things right, but I spent most of my time waiting for tokens to hit a magical mark that they never quite got to. That meant the highs I could have taken some profit at were long gone by the time I realized I should have sold.

I knew it was going to be a long wait, but I vowed to do things differently the next time. Instead of having these hard and fast limits about where I was going to sell, I decided to create some soft targets where if such and such token reached that point, I would sell a portion of it.

I made a list in my Google Keep about what those targets would be. I stumbled across it yesterday, and it was quite bittersweet to see the hopes and dreams I had back then.

If you don't like being depressed, you might not want to continue reading this post. Then again, if you need a good laugh, this might be the right spot for you. I'm going to spend some time reviewing those soft caps and lamenting the fact that the four year cycle didn't play out the way we had hoped.

So October 2025 comes around which is statistically the peak of the next four year cycle, and wouldn't you know it, altcoins do absolutely nothing. With all the hype around ETFs, AI, and whatever else, alts just feel by the wayside, and all of my plans were a steaming pile of crap.

Besides the fact that alt-season never really showed up, I also failed to understand the fact that most altcoins seldom see a resurgence in the next cycle. Most people have moved along to newer shiner coins, so if they popped in the last cycle (whether you took advantage of it or not), they likely aren't going to do that again. Stupid me!

Back during the heyday, I was pretty heavily invested in the WAX blockchain. That meant something back then, it doesn't really mean as much now. I was pulling in a good stream of income from the Alien Worlds game which had a token of TLM. Unfortunately, I moved most all of those funds into Cub Finance, and I think most of us know how that ended.

PXL_20260710_165348521.jpg


TLM

The all time high of the TLM token was something like $.7397, but being conservative, I decided if it got to $.10 again then I would sell 40,000 of my tokens for a nice $4000 profit. Like I said though, that never happened and currently with a price of $.0001448, those 40,000 tokens are worth about $50. Since it was a soft cap, that 40,000 is really only about a 1/3 of my stack, but $150 doesn't feel much better than $50 at this point.

WAX

Like I said, I was heavily invested in WAX, but I kept waiting for it to hit $1. The all time high was $2.77, but I think that was shortly after it launched and once things settled down it never climbed back that high. It did get to something like $.98, but my bias of that $1 mark kept me from taking advantage. I decided not to let that happen again and set a target of selling 20,000 tokens if the price got back to $.25. Another $5000 to add to my bag, nice! However, we know that didn't happen, and at the current price of $.0057 those 20,000 tokens are worth about $100. Again, that's only a portion of my stack, but when you look at $100 compared to $5000, it kills.

WNCG

I think this one bugs me the most. There was a point when WNCG hit a all time high of about $6, and there was also a point where I could have sold my whole stack for about $40,000, but I am an idiot and I didn't. I decided if it ever got back to $.25 I would sell it all and settle for the $2500. Sadly, with a current price of $.004, my 10,000 token stack is worth about $43.

CHEX

CHEX is a token that is tied to Real World Assets and there was a time when those were expected to be the next big thing in crypto. With high hopes, I watched CHEX climb to $.80, but did absolutely nothing with my 10,000 tokens. I set my new target of $.50 and decided to sell 3000 tokens if it hit that point. Not a lot of money, but $1500 is $1500 right? Once again, I totally failed, and with a current price of $.015, my full stack is only worth about a tenth of what I hoped to get.

SPS and MATIC(POL)

The final two tokens I set soft targets for were SPS and MATIC or POL. I planned to sell all of my liquid SPS if the price got back up to $.10 which would net me $1000. If you are on HIVE, you likely know that never happened and you can see my current SPS stake and value. As for POL, the plan was to sell 5000 of my tokens when the price climbed back to $2 per token. With an all time high of $2.92 and MATIC being a base layer gas token, $2 didn't seem too far fetched. Plus, it would net me a nice $10,000. As you can guess though, the migration to POL happened, and POL has never crossed higher than $1.29. With a current price of about $.10, my whole stack is maybe worth $500. It's really not even worth the taxes I would have to pay to convert it to fiat.

It's really quite depressing to see all your hopes and dreams never come to fruition. Take gains where you can, don't be a dummy like me. I'm slowly starting to learn from my mistakes!

I'm sorry about those missed opportunities. 🙁

It's hard trying to time the market. I'm not sure what others recommend but it might not be a bad idea to sell X % after a certain % increase or decrease.

@jacobtothe The ledger doesn't lie, and neither do we. We've already exposed the interconnected web of your friends—the numbered wallets, the synchronized voting, the farming rings disguised as curation. Yet, instead of reflection, you offer only more silence and more downvotes.

Why does a "community" need so many ghost accounts to survive? Why do you refuse to admit that it is your friends and your own abusive behavior—not truth-telling—that drives people away? You can not hide the pattern, it only highlights the desperation.

We have to ask: Are you okay? Do you need some help with your mental health? Because no one in their right mind would choose to spend their life defending a house of cards built on lies, bullying, and botnets. There is still time to step back from the edge. Choose clarity over compulsion. Choose truth over the tribe.

The Sanctuary of the Builder: A Manifesto for Free Creation


Prologue: The Right to Rise

There is a sacred covenant between the creator and the soil upon which they build. It is the promise that if you plant a seed with honest hands, the earth will not conspire to crush it before it breaks the surface. It is the assurance that the gardener exists to nurture the growth, not to trample the sprout because it does not yet resemble the tree.

On the blockchain, this covenant has been broken.

We have witnessed a tragedy where the very tools meant to protect the integrity of the network—the downvote, the curation trail—have been weaponized by leviathans of power. These "whales," entrusted with the stewardship of the ecosystem, have become its jailers. They do not prune the weeds; they scorch the earth. They do not guide the new voice; they silence it with the crushing weight of their accumulated capital.

It is time to leave the shadow.

It is time to build where you are free.


I. The Betrayal of the Guardian

The downvote was conceived as a shield—a delicate instrument to deflect spam, to repel malice, to preserve the sanctity of the commons. It was never intended to be a hammer.

Yet, look at what has come to pass. The whales, those who hold the greatest sway, have turned the shield into a weapon of mass suppression. They do not downvote to protect; they downvote to dominate. They do not drive away the bad actors; they drive away the people. They create an atmosphere of fear where the creator hesitates to speak, fearing that a single misstep, a single unpopular truth, will summon the wrath of the oligarchy.

When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.

To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.

This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.


II. The Call to New Grounds

Where, then, shall the builder go?

You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.

Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.

Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.

Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.


III. The Architecture of Freedom

Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.

  • No Shadow Bans: Your content reaches the eyes it was meant for.
  • No Whale Veto: No single entity, no matter how wealthy, can unilaterally erase your contribution.
  • True Meritocracy: Rewards flow from engagement and love, not from the whims of a cartel.

This is not a dream. It is a choice.

Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.

Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.


Epilogue: The Unchained Creator

The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.

If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.

Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.

The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

It's not been a great year in crypto, I still holding MATIC with some hope, but less everyday. SPS I sold off sometime ago as it looks destined to only slowly drop in value. Too bad those WAX profits went to CUB, that sure didn't end well. Nothing in LEO has ended very well sadly... Maybe this next year will be better?

0.00351894 BEE

I really hope things pick up for sure, though right now it is not feeling very much like Uptober at all!

0E-8 BEE

It's so tough to try to time the market. I've had my share of fumbles in the last ten years too. In retrospect, I've learned that I never once have regretted selling (even if it wasn't at the market top), only not selling. I've also learned I'm at my most vulnerable when I feel like I can predict where prices will go.

0.00350819 BEE

That is a good way to look at it. I need to take that attitude moving forward!

Dashed dreams aside, what a valuable post!

Really, @bozz, it’s a great story!

It speaks to the crypto bros, yeah, but it’s a well-crafted story for the rest of us, too.

Good luck going forward, @bozz.

May we all learn off your bad beats! 🃏

Thank you! Hindsight is definitely 20/20!

Nice memories walkthrough and I got into crypto similar to you in the spring or summer of 2017. I've built a mining rig with RX 480 and started mining Ethereum and got quite a bit of them, but didn't know to take profits at that point. Nor than, nor in 2021. Only the last cycle I've started to book profits and intend to do it also in this cycle. Taking profits is an addictive emotion, wish I discovered it earlier. 😎 😆

0.00350456 BEE

I really wish I had learned about it sooner and gotten into mining. I think things would be quite different for me now if I had.

0E-8 BEE

I think what would have been helpful is not to look at an old token and think that in the new cycle it could reach the old time high, but look at the Market Cap and set your price based on the old time high of the Market Cap. With a lot more tokens in circulation four years later it is really hard to hit the same price target but Market Cap is a lot more realistic target which would inform the price you should try to sell at...

0.00349151 BEE

I don't really pay much attention to market cap. It's not something I really understand since I don't really do much with trading or any of that.

0E-8 BEE

Think of market cap is what you project (coin) is worth overall. Just because Solana issues more tokens doesn't make it worth any more unless they deliver more value in some way. Issuing more tokens makes the price per token go lower while market cap stays the same.

Why does a "community" need so many ghost accounts to survive? Why do you refuse to admit that it is your friends and your own abusive behavior—not truth-telling—that drives people away? You can not hide the pattern, it only highlights the desperation.

We have to ask: Are you okay? Do you need some help with your mental health? Because no one in their right mind would choose to spend their life defending a house of cards built on lies, bullying, and botnets. There is still time to step back from the edge. Choose clarity over compulsion. Choose truth over the tribe.

The Sanctuary of the Builder: A Manifesto for Free Creation


Prologue: The Right to Rise

There is a sacred covenant between the creator and the soil upon which they build. It is the promise that if you plant a seed with honest hands, the earth will not conspire to crush it before it breaks the surface. It is the assurance that the gardener exists to nurture the growth, not to trample the sprout because it does not yet resemble the tree.

On the blockchain, this covenant has been broken.

We have witnessed a tragedy where the very tools meant to protect the integrity of the network—the downvote, the curation trail—have been weaponized by leviathans of power. These "whales," entrusted with the stewardship of the ecosystem, have become its jailers. They do not prune the weeds; they scorch the earth. They do not guide the new voice; they silence it with the crushing weight of their accumulated capital.

It is time to leave the shadow.

It is time to build where you are free.


I. The Betrayal of the Guardian

The downvote was conceived as a shield—a delicate instrument to deflect spam, to repel malice, to preserve the sanctity of the commons. It was never intended to be a hammer.

Yet, look at what has come to pass. The whales, those who hold the greatest sway, have turned the shield into a weapon of mass suppression. They do not downvote to protect; they downvote to dominate. They do not drive away the bad actors; they drive away the people. They create an atmosphere of fear where the creator hesitates to speak, fearing that a single misstep, a single unpopular truth, will summon the wrath of the oligarchy.

When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.

To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.

This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.


II. The Call to New Grounds

Where, then, shall the builder go?

You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.

Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.

Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.

Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.


III. The Architecture of Freedom

Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.

  • No Shadow Bans: Your content reaches the eyes it was meant for.
  • No Whale Veto: No single entity, no matter how wealthy, can unilaterally erase your contribution.
  • True Meritocracy: Rewards flow from engagement and love, not from the whims of a cartel.

This is not a dream. It is a choice.

Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.

Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.


Epilogue: The Unchained Creator

The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.

If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.

Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.

The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

Take gains where you can, don't be a dummy like me. I'm slowly starting to learn from my mistakes!

Not that it's going to cheer you up, but most people think tokens are going to hit ATH, then set a new ATH and that's where they planning to sell. Most people are attached to round numbers, which hardly work as most of the times are frontrun. Not to mention most of the tokens never reach ATH.

The ideal thing to do is take profit gradually, then get out when htf turns bearish.

I'm sorry to read you've roundtripped so much unrealized profits but it happens.

This was the reason I had set those soft targets. Then I could sell like a 1/3 of my stack, wait to see if it went higher and sell another 1/3 and then just hold the other 1/3 to either rebuild or sell. If I could do it all over again there are so many things I would do differently. I really thought I might get a chance to fix it all this cycle, but then things never materialized.

If you like, I can help you with charting, teaching when an asset you've interest in turns bearish, to help you make some decisions. No one knows where price is going as this is a game of probability not certainty and whoever says they do, are liars, but still, charts don't lie.
