A Reason To Sell

in LeoFinance4 years ago

IMGPHOTOART976573725.jpg

I was looking through my wallets the other day. You know, the ones on exchanges that you are not meant to keep coins in because not your keys not your coins blah blah.

Well, fuck that. Men like me don't live by the rules.

I noticed my small stack of PIVX.

It was just sitting there doing nothing in particular. In fact, I realised, it had done nothing in particular for quite some time. I think I had bought it way back in 2017 and it had never amounted to much.

I swear, I have had more excitement doing a shit than I have had holding PIVX.

Sweet honey-pie?

I called on the Good Lady who was squashing apples or some such nonsense in the kitchen.

Yeah, babes?

She yodelled back, her brow creased in concentration as she pulped something in her big stranglers hands.

I felt an involuntary twitch in my nethers at the sight.

You think I should sell my PIVX?

I yelled like John Wayne in that film where he kills a rancher or a villain or something that needed killing according to someone.

What the fuck is PIVX, baby?

She yelled back.

I was grateful the children were playing in the garden so they didn't have to hear us cuss about ancient shitty crypto coins.

I opened my mouth to answer. Then I stopped. What was PIVX? Ermm. Good fucking question.

I dredged my mind for an answer. Aha! A memory surfaces from the deep muck.

I think it's a privacy coin!

I yodelled, proud that I could remember something from a few years ago.

A privacy coin? What's a privacy coin? What do you do with it?

The Good Lady must have been getting to a good bit with the old apple pulping as her face had those bright red spots on her cheeks she gets when I put wholegrain mustard on her sandwich.

What do you do with it?

Well, jeez. How the fuck would I know? Private things maybe?

I think you can send it and no one knows where it came from or something.

I raised my voice up at the end of my sentence as if I were smoking pot with teenagers and talking about that John Wicks scene where he has a silencer pistol'd gunfight with a dude.

Why would you do that? Just fucking sell it. It sounds shit.

The Good Lady yelled back, her hands slathered in wisdom juices.

I nodded. Sometimes, only a simple reason is needed to sell a coin and you don't get much simpler than it sounding shit.

Bloody ancient shitcoins.

I clicked sell.

Out with the old and in with the new shitcoins, that's my motto!

I agree! I have made more on the new in the last few months than I made with loads of the old!

Then again that might be because I hodled till they were worth nothing, lol!

This time it will be different though, right? :D

Every time its the same its different! Thats what I tell the missus :OD

:O And then, 2 mins and 57 seconds later, she realised you have duped her again!

These must be universal times!! :0D

I like the idea of privacy coins. Just need a use case for one because I'm too stupid for the trading thing XD

Hope you did all right out of your coin cleaning ;D

I did alright!!

I think I looked the idea of privacy coins until I realised I didn't actually know anything about what and how they worked! :0D

I swear, I have had more excitement doing a shit than I have had holding PIVX.

Mate, you sound like the people I work with. That made me laugh my ass off. (Strangely, the Mrs didn’t share my appreciation and that’s how I know it was funny)

Hehe, that's often how I gauge humour in a situation too!! :0D

Then you get some like SmartCash that... well the graph shows it all..

I remember that day I made 100k on smart cash... It felt good for a day!

Despite the movement of a snail, I am attempting to kick that 4 year old Core wallet back into action, is there hope?

I gave up on those fantasies years ago!

I remember smartcash. Yeah, that chat says everything. Still, at least it had the decency to trundle along in a straight line at the bottom instead of down down down down to depths that aren't even on the map!

Someone talked me into buying some, a friend of that @zekepickleman dude!

I have bought so many things on recommendations. Now I make it a point almost not to buy if it's being recommended!

Although I did buy rune after reading about it here and it's done very well!

Now I make it a point almost not to buy if it's being recommended!

That was the first time around. I keep reminding myself.. this is not the time to buy, but to hold or sell. It's tough keeping myself from doing it.

I actually think at this point anything you but will go up! But it would be typically to think that and then get stuffed by it

You may be right, I keep looking and then telling myself the same thing. Greed is a bad thing and hard to combat.

It's on the way back. Any day now.

If I don't get a 98% loss.. I would consider it a bonus! I have Verge and Reddcoin to dump yet.., those Core Wallet things should be outlawed.

Let me know a good time on both of these too please :D

I have those too. I ask going verge will pump, it has done a couple of times before. Reddcoin is utterly shit. I came wait to dump it!!

That reminds me, I need to binge John Wicks. My favorite part of your post was when she said, "What the fuck is PIVX, baby?" It had me laughing. My second favorite part is your reference to John Wayne.


Speaking of privacy, I hear Monero is good at that. What does a privacy coin do? No idea but yeah what you said, the ability to send and receive anonymous would be cool if there were ways to do that.


And another idea would be to have proxy or VPN like coins meaning a way for the transactions to be encrypted as it wires, as it moves through the old inter-webs. I've not researched Monero, PVX, etc. Privacy, etc, can help, etc, etc.


But selling can also be perhaps the right choice for you, well it depends, but probably a good choice, but what do I know. Good thing the kids were outside doing God knows what ahahaha, lol. Great post.

I love bingeing John Wicks. Its one of those ones yo ucan watch over and over. Yo ucant beat slipping in a reference to the Duke!

Cheers man, I didnt regret selling them! Kinda relieved now!

I almost watched that third movie but I was like oh no. I should start with the first movie. You know, I sold Dogecoin probably back in 2017. I hear they're going up now. But I kind of don't regret selling either kind of thing regardless.

Once they are sold, move on. Thats what I do. Things will always change and its important not to get hung up on past shit :O)

Always best to start at the first, Its a fair old ride it takes you on right to that bit where he goes over the side of the roof at the end. Looking forward to number 4

I enjoyed Bill & Ted 3. Oh, a fourth John Wicks is coming? Wow. If only we could get new Matrix movies.

Oh cool. You liked the third Bill and Ted? I loved the first two and want sure if I wanted to risk the good memories by watching it! Will give it a shot :0)

It is a pretty good grand finale kind of film to the series in the sense the storyline, the plot, is even bigger. I think it was a lot more exciting than the new Dumb & Dumber movie.


From the top of my head, I forget the plot of the newest Dumb & Dumber movie which came out a few years ago in the 2010s. Well, I kind of remember bits and pieces. But the third Bill & Ted has a fun plot that I've not forgotten. I can clearly visualize the outline of that 3rd film.

I think all those old ones are doomed! I sold some XLM yesterday - there was announcement about some new development - I thought 'damn' - price still went down!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You could be right. I have been rifling through all my old coins and if there is little activity on them then they are getting shunted!

Holding my XLM a tiny bit longer right enough. Its one of the survivors of the cull!

I'm starting to do the same it's an easy way to hedge into stables rather than selling the BTC!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Can't be selling that BTC!! It's a keeper till it peaks at least!! Then it's into the stables!

Just when you decided to pull the plug, pivx is on a 64% rise.

Lol. I caught it at 2550 but it's absolutely typical eh!!

Just fucking sell it. It sounds shit.

She's got some smarts Boomy, I'll give her that.

Also, that young lass in your main image, the one to your left side that looks like Winston Churchill with hair...Her nethers are twitching at the thought of you mate...Look at the poor lass, giving you a smoldering come hither look, and you just focused on your privates. Private coins that is.

I see that look. She is all about the privacy-schmivacy. She is like, tell me about your... Hang on, I don't even know what they do so can't even fake it!!

Lol...She's pre-swoon I think mate...And why wouldn't she be with the beastly handsome Boomy just next door.

pre-swoon fucking love it. Lol

I agree, it's hard to resist this rugged shit!!

She may even suffer premature-swoonjaculation...It happens sometimes.

I have heard of this. As long as it's not premature!!

You shoulda kept it! No one knew ;-)

I've still got some BEOS and I'm too stupid to even figure out how to get rid of it :-0 Maybe Larimer can help me!

I still have mine!! I got my BTS out though. At first it didn't work because my wallet was out of date. I updated it to the newest one and transferred my stuff out to my original bitshares wallet I had sent it from.

I was glad as that is one token that ain't going nowhere.

Obviously, after I sold it pumped 🤣🤣

At least you kept track of your keys/passwords.

Nominally, I have some BitShares and Obyte out there in the aether. In theory.

Obyte!! A blast from the past!

I managed to find all my devices and still it before I forgot. That pesky year long lock up was a pain.

I have a ridiculous protected spreadsheet with all my daft exchanges and passwords. It was really crazy back in the day, wallets, passwords. There were loads and loads!!

How much did you get? :)

Annoyingly, it has done that thing where you hold a coin for ages and it does nothing. You sell it and POP, it shoots up a couple of hundred sats!! Still made a profit though!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

PIVX pumping today, your going to regret this.

I thought I was catching a top at 2550 sats but it's not slowing. I think you might be right!

Let's unload them all! Tosses my Bitcoin in!

Haha!! Keep that one!!!

:)) If you insist!

Where's my share, Haha :)

It's in the post!!! *Guaranteed!!

*not guaranteed

:0D

As if 😜

Totally is. I said to the man in shorts, take this to Kazza, he was like why aye man. Sorted! ;0)

Im well know on the begging list Haha nearly put breeding list 😳

Hahahaha, that would have become an entirely different sentence!!! :0D

And an entirely different me 😂

Wasn’t PIVX a fork of dash? I honesty don’t know how half these coins are still going

It was!! An early days one. It was all the rage and then like like a lot of them development just stalled after the long bear times! I noticed the updates on blockfolio had gotten lesser and lesser and thought funk this!

Ah yes, a trip down memory shitcoin lane. I found some absolute dross sitting in an account and came to the same conclusion you and Mrs Boom came to. Effing sell it!

Get it shot!!

There is way more to be made in the new world! :OD

Too right! And there's even more shit coins than you can shake a stick at these days!

There are loads now that I am struggling to get my bread around. Get some good steers here though!

There's a new btc or eth type in the world of shit coins, or what looks like shit for a while I just know it....

These days it seems like there is a new one every second month!!!

Ikr plenty we slept on these days I wish I put every dollar i had into crypto back then how does that sound just enough cash for the rent

If you put the spare in just now you will be making that rent and more!
