I know, I know. I’m already a top ten $LEO holder. I’m sitting at 155k Leo, but I’m not comfortable with this amount, I want 200k by the end of this year.
It’s harder now, I stacked those 150k in a little bit under a year, at an average price way lower than what it is right now.
I don’t have a Ton of liquids right now to throw into Leo, and I’m so close to my 80k Hive goal that I don’t really want to sell $hive for $leo. I’m always stupidly close to my 1 BTC goal despite some serious investment mistakes I’ve made over the past few months, mistakes that had I identified them earlier would’ve allowed me to sit peacefully watching my three main coin goals achieved a trimester ago.
My CoinGecko tracker displays 30% of what my net worth was 6 months ago.
Does it hurt watching my portfolio page on CG?
Yes
Do I regret my previous decisions?
Not really, because I learned a lot and I was able to keep a lot of my worth thanks to diversification, and I am definitely prepared for similar scenarios now.
Setting goals, and sticking to them
You see that’s the trickiest part of being financially independent, where you make all your investment decisions and you take charge of your funds, their custody, the choices of what to do with them, and you are definitely obligated to take responsibility from what happens to you.
I’m talking about setting goals, and once you achieve them, avoid being too ambitious or let greed get the best of you. That’s how you end up making mistakes.
I didn’t set goals a while back with an investment. The token did a 500x jump and instead of selling, I held it until it was a mere 10x. Still a nice profit, but had I set a goal and stuck to it, I would’ve walked away with 100k USD, and I would’ve been able to reach my Hive, Leo, BTC, ETH and Rune goals around February this years, and still have a lot of play money to do some degen moves and buy some potential 100x meme tokens.
But I’m stuck grinding, which is not bad, I love the hustle.
Why are goals important?
I don’t know how much time you spend browsing the Leo content feed, but you must’ve seen other OG authors talk about their Hive Goals, what they are doing to achieve them, and how are they progressing on every side or front.
I’ve never made that, but I want to, perhaps one day, but that’s not the point. The point is, setting goals makes the achievement process twice as easy, and allows your mind to focus on the goals and the strategies you come up to achieve them.
That’s why I’ve moved my goal from 150k to 200k Leo. I know, I’m moving the goal posts and that’s exactly what happened to me when I missed the chance to cash out on the 500x token a few months ago. But with Leo, this scenario is different. Leo as well as Hive are part of my Long term portfolio, the one that I will not sell in the near future, the one that I will hold once a series of milestones happen and a series of price movements happen, which will not be the case until the next cycle, perhaps even the next one after. Leo and Hive are long term holdings.
Why Leo?
I’ve been aggressively - for my wallet and net worth size - buying Leo over the past year, and one could say having 150k, which is almost 1% of the token supply, is enough exposure.
But I like putting my money where my mouth is.
I’ve been part of the Leo Team for around a year and three months, and I’ve had nothing other than good things to say about the project. But if I didn’t own any Leo and I was just another random team member saying Leo2theMoon, that’s just like being a Twitter shiller influencer that talks big game and the next 100x but never shows you his wallet, and I don’t wanna be that guy.
I talk Leo big game and I put my money where my mouth is. Sort of like what @khaleelkazi has been doing over the past months as well in his own league where he's bought around 800k $LEO.
I mean, what kind of founder and team doesn't buy their own token, which shows full support and confidence in their capacity to bring mass adoption of the crypto company?
No team stake
That's another thing, Lions.
Did you even know that there's no team stack on Leo?
There's also no marketing or PR fund.
That means that every single token the team has, and every $LEO we use to fund competitions and initiatives comes out of pocket.
Add to that, that all the development done in Leo since it began almost four ears ago, is funded by Khal, and then you will realize how bullish buying Leo is (NFA), and why I am so confident in Leo's mass adoption and ultimately, my own benefit by growing my own net worth.
I'm getting 50k more $LEO, and if this is not enough to at least encourage you to do your own research, I don't know what will.
That's another thing, and I want to close with this statement: I've been very open about buying $LEO at every single chance I have, and I've been very vocal about what we have in store in the future. Don't make me say I told you so again - because I said it when we went from 3c to 8c, and I will definitely say it again when we get to 20c.
