Setting any type of crypto goals for next year is actually quite difficult considering where we are in the crypto cycle. This being the first time I am looking at selling any crypto this is a very different type of mindset yet it is still all about growth. Crypto is not difficult if you have some patience which will ultimately unlock the value.
The idea that your portfolio has the potential to do a 10 x or more is kind of crazy and the crazier part is you can then buy back when 80 or 90 % of the value has disappeared. The timings are important, but obviously will not be exact as no one can predict the absolute top or bottom.
Over the last few years I have never set any HIVE goals due to so many other outside influences that makes it so different from every other crypto investment. On HIVE you have to remain active and connected to the community through engagement and the support you receive can swing both ways. Doing the best you can and not expecting is the best policy and what tends to work.
My HIVE stake has moved past 140K HP and it is kind of weird to contemplate can that number hit 500K HP or 1 million HP by the time I swap out into HBD and back into HIVE again. This is the route I have seen and heard other accounts achieving exceptional growth in previous cycles. Up till now my 140K HP has all been earned the normal way and do think I know enough now to have a shot at the express route.
The rest of my portfolio that I value will be treated in a similar way hoping to unlock a 10 x growth with one eye on restaking. The long term aim is still to earn a passive income with the hope that it will one day flourish into a fully fledged income source. I don't see why this cannot happen and why using the 4 year cycle to your advantage is not just about riches, but more about growing your foundation.
My portfolio for the last 4 years has had separate individual crypto goals which some have changed along the way and some having been placed on hold knowing those are not ready yet. Real use cases is where I see the value being unlocked and not the 4 year cycle peak. The next 4 years will see my portfolio change due to research that has been ongoing for the last 4 years. One or two will explode in 2026 and this will offer far bigger returns than following what BTC is doing.
Wealth is all around us as long as we give it a chance to succeed and stop diluting what we have for real life needs. Just think for one moment how much anyone could have if they did this over two full cycles and we are talking in the millions of dollars and not hundreds of thousands.
An 8 year period being two full crypto cycles actually offers you more than a 100 x opportunity being on average 10 x every 4 years. 10 x 10 = 100 for those who are trying to work that part out. I say more because the staking APR has to be included along with compounding as well as the 10 x is not set in stone and could be much more.
