Engagement contests are hard STEEM/Whaleshares

Image result for its too hard meme

This last week i decided to check out two of the biggest engagement contests on Steem and Whaleshares. One is run by @abh12345 called “Curation and Engagement league” which essentially tracks your engagement and curation statistics over the course of the week and the other is the “Beast challenge” on Whaleshares run by @lexiwitness.
Thats not a weekly thing like the engagement league but it does happen fairly often. You get a number of posts and comments you need to make in a period of time. The first one i saw was i think 1000 comments (no spam) and the one im doing right now is:

5 days, 5 posts (+150 words), 300 comments.

Above all else i have to say that this is damn hard. Ive been listed in the engagement league for a week now and i didnt even make the list the first week. lol. I think i made 90 comments with a 20k character length while there are folks with almost 10 times that. Never thought i was so far behind. 🙂
The beast challenge ive been doing for one day and i barely got 20 comments in.

How in the world do you come up with something smart to say all the time! haha

Im not the kind of guy that will say:

Good job! Keep it up! Thank you! You are welcome!

That seems kind of cheap. (Unless you really need to say thank you. haha)
I like to make my comments unique, memorable, annoying, hilarious … intellectually stimulating. mmmm. 😀

Which is why it can get hard (I think theres a joke in there somewhere) thinking up my next comment.

Alright, to stop complaining all the time, i need to get back into it.
Goal this week:
1. 280 comments in 4 days!
2. Get on abh12345 list!

Lets win that Heineken keg!
(Thats the first prize, right?)

Ill see you guys and keep on!

Boeing’s Market Cap is Crashing $BA

I wrote a few weeks ago when the BA news came out about their 737 Maxes having trouble that the chart look gross. Not only did it look like a parabolic momentum top, it likely has a lot of people trapped from the last few years. Her is a clear line in the sand for the BA lovers and K believe it will be tested very soon.

You can see the parabolic “bitcoin like” rise that BA has experienced over the past years. If you zoom in you will notice the consolidation, breakup, and failed breakout on the chart.

The Positive Grind Higher in Crypto

Bitcoin is grinding higher. After the igniting bar crypto is showing some strength and power. I love it. It still isn’t being talked much about on CNBC or in the news like it was meaning we are moving higher. Check this chart out. Looking like a beauty.

Bitcoin is showing nothing more than strength with higher lows and grinding up. This strength is persistent too. I am expecting new six month highs again soon…

No idea what to write about // One of those posts

Do i post a meme, do i write how i love some song, do i gossip a bit? I dont know. I just know i dont feel productive today.

Its one of those days you just want to grab a cold beer and lay around but are too lazy to go to the supermarket and get one, or 5.
When you think about watching a show on Netflix but cant be bothered to scroll through the menus with your remote control.

I just might write this post in increments of 10 minutes…
Just watched the Joker trailer on youtube. It looks pretty damn awesome. Joaquin Phoenix looks amazing as the Joker. I hate when something is overhyped before it comes out (ADA @enforcer48 :P) but i have to say that he might be on par with Ledger. Yes, i said it!

Look at that psychotic face. Troubled childhood. Deranged behavior. Awkward demeanor. Beautiful! Give him half a million SP and he will be a twin. (Whoops) haha

What else. Watched a animated show on Netflix yesterday. Its called “Love, death + robots”.
The Netflix promo looked awesome, the aesthetics looked awesome. What i didnt know is that the show producers were screwed in the head. lol
To keep it short, the show feels like it was made by M. Night Shyamalan on steroids! First episode i watched i was amazed as to how bonkers it was.. The show is absolutely mental. A series of animated 15 minutes shorts with self contained storylines with each being memorable for a unique reason. Directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and produced by David Fincher.

What else? Made some vegetable soup, tastes like you would imagine it would. Im really bad at cooking haha.… But at least i didnt add kale. Kale tastes awful, but i have to say something that is indeed a very strange statement to make: It can look awesome when you have a talent for photography. Huh? 😀

I have no idea why this photo attracted me so much, but ive been sneakpeeking it for the last couple days for some strange reason. Tell me this doesnt look gorgeous.

No idea what else to write about so Ill see you around.
Keep on! 😀

We are on the Boat baby ?‍♀️ , Let’s Ride!

Been talking about how this Spike would come, Let’s Ride!

Much of Crypto is up more than 8% this morning. Bitcoin has spike Huge off the resistance break. Litecoin continues to show strength and is spiking big. EOS is running into resistance and closing in on a spot where it could slow down. Hopefully it blows through!

The Writing is on the Wall Folks. It is all Starting to Break Up $XMR $ZEC $BTC

I have been bullish crypto pretty much all of 2019 and I am even more bullish today. Every day another ALT coin is breaking higher out of the rounding bottom and the news is ignoring. This is GREAT NEWS (lol) actually. Below you can see both Monero and Zcash breaking up to new highs.

Bitcoin is next folks. Just look at this rounding bottom. I love finding these and the media not talking about it. Strap on the seat belts boys and girls!

Long and Strong…

Higher Lows…Break is Imminent

Bitcoin has been putting in higher lows over the last couple of weeks and months. We are approaching 3 month highs and building a triangle with higher lows pressing against 4200 Resistance.

This is beyond obvious (as long as the price action remains the same) this results in a bust through the resistance level. Stay the course here. I am expecting crypto to start making some big moves across the entire sector in the coming weeks. Litecoin and EOS have led the troops, it’s now time to extend it and many catch up!

BITHUMB HACKED! $EOS catalyst?

The Korean exchange has been hacked for over 3million EOS and an amount I do not know of XRP (because I don’t care about XRP). This happened a little over 14 hours ago…and EOS is just not selling off.

With that said, this sell off will likely be Blamed on the hacking of BITHUMB because the media always needs a story. I am here to tell you that this is great news! Why? Well we now have a catalyst for a sell off and we can ASSESS the selloff. Does EOS hold and rip back to highs? My gut says yes!

This

$EOS has now SMASHED through the 200 day MA…

Looking longer term within EOS and the chart of this asset, we have now made a MAJOR move and should be considered VERY BULLISH (long term) until proven otherwise. Sometimes these fail, many times trends begin…

EOS has now SMASHED through the 200 day MA to the upside over the last couple of days. Bulling up any major chart of assets you can see how LONG these trends last sometimes above the 200 day MA. We definitely want to see the 200 day MA start to curl up but this is a major start to what we want to see for

Just some random thoughts // Crypto life, Steem, Whaleshares, stuff…

Theres something i have feared a lot when i bought STEEM couple months ago at $0.9. (I bought 1500 STEEM in total)

I was afraid that i was late. I was afraid that i missed the the biggest ATH crypto will ever see. I was afraid that i was too late to accumulate any significant sum of crypto. I was afraid that i would never be able to make whale friends and get votes.

But over time those opinions started changing. I started to pick up on nuances, the good sides and the bad sides of crypto. I figured out that i didnt have to make whale friends. I figured out how STEEM worked (even though i decided not to prostitute myself), i figured out the scammy crap exchanges are pulling off, i figured out how you can get your shitcoin listed by pulling someone off and with all that i managed to place myself somewhere i feel comfortable. https://chairsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Comfortable-Office-Chairs-Options.png

A place where i can grow slowly, accumulate, find opportunities to reinvest and i dont have to adjust my behavior to appease anyone. Something that most say is the privilege of large accounts. And sure, that is most definitely not the fastest way to grow, lol, but its my way.
My posts arent flooded with engagement nor am i pulling in hundreds of STEEM a week…. but ill say “Fuck” as much as i want and enjoy myself. haha

But for most part its working well. Im getting my few dollars a day. Sometimes ill do a task and get a big vote from Oracle-d, sometimes ill leave some feedback on a project, sometimes ill do some twitter crusading, sometimes ill get lucky with Steem Monster cards, ill get my biweekly payouts from the “dev company” im invested in, ill do some curation on STEEM or WHALESHARES. etc….. Theres bunch of stuff for me to do here, stuff i didnt realize until i stopped focusing on trying to be friends with people id probably never like in real life just to get ahead.
I realized that there was a false dichotomy present here.

Either kiss ass or be a selfish, self-centered asshole to earn anything here.

While those two things most definitely represent the “profit maximizing way”, they arent the only way.

Not until i stopped trying to “maximize my profits” in the way presented above did i start looking for more opportunities and finding them. Investing in stuff, starting to post on Whaleshares and getting to know folks there/here. (One of the best decisions i made so far)
Sure, there are some shits on Whaleshares as well, but like its the case with smaller communities, the shits get flushed down the toilet pretty fast. haha

And there you have it. Sometimes i like to chronicle my thoughts. Put them to blockchain so one day in 5 years or a decade when im flying down the airway in my maglev Lambo, i can look back and say:

What a smart kid i was back then.

Or ill end up living under a bridge and think what a moron i was. hahaha.

Ill see you around. 😉
